Herbert Hih, labor secretary.
The organization’s executive
e’cretary, Roy Wilkins, told the
delegates that attacks on the
NAACP had raimed membership
and contributions to fall off.
We don’t get any help from
foundations or wealthy people,
he said, “although we still have
many friends who contribute to
our cause.
‘ This is a bareknuckle fight
and it means that we ourselves
are going to have to dig down
in our own resources. Go back
to your communities and do
your level best to see w r e have
the funds to carry on for the
rest cf the year.
“We are not licked by any
means. We are not broke. But
we need more money to carry on
a better and more vigorous
fight..’
