The alliance, he said, ■ takes
“vigorous opposition" to the
•unconst.tutional features” of
executive order 9835. He con¬
tinued :
“We have been and to a great
extent still are victims of ad¬
ministrative practices that
tend to short-c.rcuit our con¬
stitutional rights for np other
reason than we are, for the
most part Negroes. I
Members of our organization
in several cities have been cit¬
ed to show cause why they
should not be separated trom

alty to their goverpment- We
realize that jim crow is an old

L'pot shots’ at him is not d s-
Ijyal to America
“We say that, in absence of
j specific standards for deter-
| mining the loyalty of govern¬
ment employes and in the ab¬
sence of the right to face ami
cross-exam ne those who ac¬
(‘d.tloyalty,’ cuse any of our members oi
wn dare not rely
solely upon the judgment oi
• administrative officers in the
'matter of determining loyaltj
to the government of the Unit-
! d States.
“We agree with Paul A. Por-
er, former chief of OPA, when
he said in the New York Her¬
ald Tribune forum, Oct. 32,
1948:
“ ‘Like an iceberg, loyalty
inquisitions have a massive
submergence. Below the sur¬
face there exists an evil com¬
posite to bigotry, prejudice,
hatred, gossip, petty ambition
and infamous tale bearing.
“ ‘AH that is despicable in
decent human relationship is
encouraged by these pro<^-
dures. I am frank to say that
l do not believe it to be coinci¬
dence that an apparent ma¬
jority of those hailed before
the boards and committees are
victims of prejudices as un-
American as communism it¬
self-’
“We will, ourselves, expel
from membership and openiy
lenounce any member or mem¬
bers who by their words or
jets, prove themselves disloyal
to our United States of Ameri-
-a
“If this is not enough, then
let the standards for deter-
nining loyalty be established
clearly, lest some government
employes be removed from ser¬
vice for other reasons, reasor.r - .
that might will be hidden un¬
der the cloak of ‘disloyalty.’
“We will oppose any profess¬
ed loyalty program, the effect
of which is to intimidate us in
the lawful exercise of our con*
stitutional rights in reaching
our 35 year old objective—the
total elimination of racial pre¬
judice and discrimination.”

He predicted that if the Re¬
publicans “do not again join in
a coalition of death and dis¬
grace with the Southern Dem¬
ocrats” there would be passage
in the 81st Congress of FEPC
and other civil rights legisla¬
tion. He challenged yourtt
people to take an active inter¬
est in current local, national
and international affairs.
Mr. White also presented the
NAACP Youth Award to Mss
Alice Coachman of Albany, Ga.,

for her “outstanding contri¬
bution to better human rela¬
tions.”

In New York numerous
church and civic groups as well
as many friends have rallied
to the support of Turner. The
well respected postman and
NAACP leader has a wife who

In announcing the NAPE
program ever since its founding
; Oct. 6, 1913, Prt sident Carter
of i ndiana p 0 lis, said:
“The objective declared at
that time and pursued deter¬
minedly down through the
years has undergone no change.
Our founding fathers were fir¬
med with the burnir^ desire to
fight for the elimination of ra¬
r
cial discrimination and pres¬
cription — twin un-American
cancers that gnaw at the heart,
of traditional American de¬
mocracy — from government
service.”
