Stanley Roberts Aid to
Citizens For Eisenhower
New York, N. Y.—National Citizens for Eisen
hower has retained Stanley Roberts, 41, as Special
Assistant to the Public Relations Director, it was
announced recently by John Reed Kilpatrick, Na
tional Chairman. As assistant to Richard L. Tobin,
Mr. Roberts will develop basic campaign literature
regarding the Negro voter and will also aid the or
ganization’s fund raising appeals.
For a period of fourteen years Mr .Roberts was
associated with the “Pittsburgh Courier,” largest
Negro weekly newspaper in the nation. He served
consecutively as the Courier’s Ohio editor, public
relations director, and chief of the Washington D.
C. bureau. Among his newsbeats were the first
published interview with Gen. Douglas MacArthur
after Mac Arthur’s removal from United Nations
command in Korea in 1951, and the first exclusive
interview with Dr. Ralph Bunche when the U-N
Mediator returned from Israel the same year. In
1952, Mr. Roberts was given a leave of absence by
the Pittsburgh newspaper to join the Republican
National Committee as publicity director of the
minorities division under VaT Washington. Mr.
Roberts authored the widely-distributed ’52 cam
paign pamphlet, “The Republican and the Negro,”
which listed in fourteen points the advances Neg
roes could expect from an Eisenhower administra
tion. Last year, Mr. Washington announced that
the booklet’s predictions had all been fulfilled and
that the literature was still being circulated.
The new Citizens For Eisenhower aide served
in 1945 as Public Relations Director of the second
annual United Negro College Fund, a national cam
paign which raised $1,500,000 on behalf of thirty
two Negro colleges and universities. Now living
with his wife and their two daughters in New York
City, Mr. Roberts is a graduate of Wilberforce Uni
versity and the Graduate School of Public Adminis
tration, University of Cincinnati.
NAACP Resolutions Mop
Civil Rights Actions
SAN FARANCISCO. July 5.—|
The demands of the Negro for an
equal share in the rights and ;
privileges of American citizen
ship were spelled out in a score of j
resolutions passed at the 47th
annual convention of the National!
Association for the Advancement j
of Colored People which met here
June 26 to July 1.
The delegates, 1.000 strong.'
from 38 states, the District of
Columbia and the Territory of
Alaska, called upon the Congress
to pass the Powell amendment
withholding federal funds for
school construction from areasj
refushing to take steps towards
school desegregation, to enact
fair play employment practices
legislation, to establish a bi-par
tisan commission on civil rights,
to set up in the Department of
Justice a civil rights division, and
to prohibit racial discrimination
and segregation in any federally
aided housing, schools or health
services.
They urged local NAACP
branches to “assume the respon
sibility of conducting effective
registration and voting campaigns 1
paigns ’ and called upon the na
tional office to “distribute to all
local, state and regional units
and. through them, to the mem
bership and general public, in
formation on the performance
of the major political parties,
branches of government, senators
and congressmen, on the broad
issues of civil rights.”
Communists Barred
The 1950 resolution against
communism was reaffirmed and i
extended to include a ruling that !
“Communists and or persons who'
are prominently identified with
the Ku Klux Klan. White Citizens
Councils, or Communist front of
Communist-line organizations, are
ineligible for membership in the
NAACP.”
Expressing the conviction that
the NAACP program “must be
broadened to the point of using
all lawful means available to ob
tain our objectives.” a resolution
recommended that the NAACP
Board of Directors and national
staff “give the most careful con
sideration" to non-violent re
sistance as carried out in Mont
gomery. Alabama and Tallahas
see, Florida, “for possible inclu
sion in our expanding action
program for civil rights.”
The resolutions asserted the
belief “that the legislative and
executive branches of govern
ment are under obligation, both
moral and legal, to support the
mandates of the Supreme Court
in its construction and interpre
tation of the law.”
A program of action for school
desegration. adopted at a south
ern regional conference of
NAACP leaders in February, was
approved by the convention. This
program calls for continued ef
fort to secure voluntary com
pliance with the Supreme Court's
school desegration decree where
possible, and the filing of suits
at the request of parents in those
states (Alabama. Florida. Georgia.
Louisiana. Mississippi, North Car
olina. South Carolina and Vir
ginia) in which “constructive ne
gotiations have been found to be
impossible.”
Citizens Councils Condemned
Condemning the White Citizens
Councils and similiar groups for
creating an “atmosphere of terror
and intimidation,” a convention
resolution called upon “all offi
cials, federal, state and local, to
make immediate independent in
vestigations of these Citizen Coun
cils and similar groups, and to
prosecute in all instances where
violation of the law is uncovered.”
Also condemned were actions
by state legislatures and state
courts “to ban the NAACP from
operating in their states .. to de
stroy its existence and effective
ness. ” The convention further
resolved “to fight with every re
source at its command such un
lawful and unconstitutional ac
tion.”
Petition Urged
Decrying continued residential
segregation, a resolution called
upon the Association “to petition
the President to issue a directive
that the Federal Housing Admin
istration and Veterans Adminis
tration require, as a condition of
mortgage insurance and loan
guarantees, that all housing utili
zing such federal assistance be
made available to all applicants
without regard to race or religion,
and that all lenders and builders
granted such assistance be
required to covenant with FHA
or VA that they will not discrim
inate in the sale or rental of such
housing.”
State and local units of the
NAACP were urged, “wherever
possible, to seek the support of
responsible trade unions for mea
sures that we favor and, in
turn, give our support to such
measures supported by organized
labor as are consistant with our
policy and proa am.”
“Let those who cry •modera
tion',’- the delegates asserted,
‘realize that moderation reguires
sustained action. Stagnation is
not moderation. Stagnation is
death. Action is what we seek.

Starch And Shape A Summer Hat
Attractive summer hats can be made at home bv starching fabric
and shaping it over ordinary kitchen equipment These hats are fun
to make, can be trimmed in a variety of ways and cost only a few cents.
The hat shown here is made of burlap, but any fabric that takes
starch can be used. A small, shallow bowl and a frying pan provide
the shape for a hat with a turned-down brim like this.
To make this hat. cut the fabric in a 16-inch circle and soak it in
undiluted Sta-Flo liquid starch for about ten minutes Place the
bowl slightly off center on the frying pan and cover with foil. This
makes it easier to remove the fabric.
Now mold the wet fabric over the bowl and frying pan. After the
fabric has been shaped, lift off and allow to dry. For a good fit, wear
the hat while it is drying but protect your hair with foil.
When the hat is completely dry, tack on the trimming. Yarn,
ribbon or rope can be'used at the crown and along the edge. Sea
shells were used to finish off this hat, but you can use flowers, buttons,
ribbon bows or whatever you like.
Various hat styles can be made using other fabrics and shapes. You
can be your own designer when you make hats this starch-and-shape
way.

“Worry doesn’t empty the aa>
. of its trouble, but only of its
strength."
New York, July 9—Increasing
signs of defection in the Negro
vote are alarming Democratic
Party leaders, a survey of dozens
of top Democrats indicated today.
Party leaders surveyed, ranging
from Harry Truman to Harry
Byrd, now striving to prevent a
Southern bolt over the civil rights
question, also are unhappy with
Roy Wilkins, executive secretary
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People.
Wilkins isn't telling Negroes
how to vote, says an article in the
new issue of Look Magazine. But
he is suggesting that, where other
political interests are not affect
ed. Negroes might think abc
switching to the Republicans.
The Look survey found tin.
Democrats are particularly alarm
ed in the North, where a sub*
staneial Negro shift to the OOP
could cost them not only the
presidency but control of Con
gross.
Despite this and other danger
signs, party leaders surveyed are
confident that there will be no
crippling breakup between North
and South.
Instead, they predict that a
moderate policy in civil rights
will be adopted for the ‘56 elec
tion and that their national con
vention will pick a candidate who
will reflect this spirit
Moreover, party pundits are
optimistic that President Eisen
hower won’t carry any Southern
states because of the segregation
issue.
On the civil rights question,
three points of view have emer
ged in the party, the Look survey
reports:
1. Southerners would like the
platform to say nothing more
than in 1952.
2. Northern radicals want the
platform to call upon the Presi
dent and Congress to implement
and carry out the Supreme Court
decision.
3. A middle ground where the
party would state .that it “con
curs in the Supreme Court de
cision and implementation order"
—period.

Radio Stations to Leave Air July 20 in CD Test
• *
Every radio and TV station in
I the United States will go off
j the air at 3:10 p.m. (EST) on
July 20.
For the next 15 minutes the
only broadcasting in the nation
will be done by 1,250 stations
which have joined the Federal
Civil Defense Administration's
“Conelrad” plan for emergency
broadcasting.
All of these stations will broad-,
cast on one of the two civil de
fense frequencies (640 or 1240
kilocycles). They will use only
special material prepared for Op
eration Alert, 1956
It will be the first full-fledged
test of the ability of the Conel
rad stations to reach the public
with the all-important civil de
fense broadcasts which will be
the nation’s only broadcast
source of official information
and instructions in event of an
enemy air attack.
Conelrad (Plan for Control of
Electromagnetic Radiation) is a
system devised by the Air Force,
the broadcasting industry and
the Federal government to make
possible the vital broadcasting of
official information and civil
defense instructions in times of
emergency. Under normal broad-,
casting, it would be possible for
an enemy plane to time its dir
ection finder to a station broad
casting in a target city and
“ride the beam” right into its
target.
Under the Conelrad plan, all
stations sign( off the air when
an alert is signaled. Conelrad
stations then reduce power,
change their broadcasting fre
quency to 640 or 1240 kilocycles
and return to the air.
Conelrad stations in each city
form a cluster. These stations
broadcast a common program,
with each of the cluster stations
on the air for only a few seconds
at a time. The frequent switch
ing from one station to another
makes it impossible for a bomb
er pilot to use the radio signals
for navigat’on purposes.
In smaller communities, where
only one station is in the Conel
rad system, it will broadcast at
i
peri d, then be off the air for
a number of minutes. The on
the-air, off-the-air pattern will
continue until the end of the
Conelrad Drill on July 20.
Radio stations will publicize
the Conelrad drill in advance,
wani ng listeners to expect the
interruption of normal broad
casting to shut down and tune
to 640 or 1240 on home radio
sets.
either 640 or 1240 kc for a short
CONELRAD CAR RADIO dial marked at
640 and 1240 kilocycle* for any emergency will
come In handy when all radio stations go off
the air at 3:10 p.m. on July 20, and then some re
turn to broadcast special civil defense material
on these frequencies as part of Operation Alert,
1956. The 15-minute nationwide Conelrad test,
first of its kind, will test radio stations’ ability
to switch to the Conelrad system of broadcasting in
an actual attack so that emergency instructions
could he radioed to the public without guiding
enemy bombers to their targets. Cirfl ifrfmss
authorities are hoping the public wffi mark their
radios for future emergencies. trcDA phatoj
