VIRGINIA ANT1-NAACP
LAWS CHALLENGED
(Continued f rom Page One)
in the litigation
4. Restrain organisations from
encouraging citizens to secure
their rights in the courts
5. Forbid giving financial as-
sistance to persons involved in law- j
suits against the State of Virginia,
0. Require a public listing of
the NAACP membership in the
statp
7. Demand a filing of all
monies raised and expended by the
NAACP in Virginia for any pur¬
pose.
The Virginia statutes are term¬
ed in the NAACP brief “the key¬
stone of the state’s program of
‘massive resistance' to the (public !
school) decisions of the Supreme
Court.” I
“Seldom has a group of statutes
suffered from as many constitu¬
tional infirmities as these under
consideration,” the NAACP- docu¬
ment declares.' “Their purpose
and scope strike at such federally
protected rights as freedom of
SjJpedh and assembly, as well as
tli£. right to pool resources and
seek relief in eourts such as this
Court. Throughout runs the un¬
constitutional classification aimed
solely at groups such as plaintiffs
(NAACP / xt a a dd and j v NAACP . , , Legal , T De- .
fense and Educational Fund, Inc.),
while expressly excluding all oth¬
er groups exercising freedom rtf
expression or joint action in the
courts.”
The brief charges that ih seek¬
ing to forestall any attempts to
bring about desegregation, Vir¬
ginia 1 ms “struck at the main bul¬
wark of relief against government¬
al oppression—free access to the
eourts.”
The laws, the NAACP docu¬
ment says, “have the singular ef-
feet of divesting indigent Negro
litigants of their only means of
access.to the courts.”
Puriuing further the question of
restrictions on legal cases, the
brief States:
“In Ahrginia, both the legislative
and opposej executive arm of government
elimination of statc-enforc-
ed racial restrictions. As a result,
the only avenue of redress for one
seeking to remove such restrictions
is the pourts Vi
“ P lU i n f f s, (NAACP and
NAAC* Legal Defense Fund) in
the p«fct, have successfully aided
Virginuuilegrocs in removing such
restrictions on public higher edu-
cational Abilities and the use of
public recreational and transpovta-
tional facilities by financing the
litigation of those Negroes who de-
sire to remove such restrictions.
Plaintiffl are notv engaged in as¬
sisting Vb^jjnia Negroes, who so
desire* i i i^ihlic Removing such restric¬
tions on elementary .and
secondary school facilities.
“. . . The actual operation and
effect of these statutes is to cut
off plantiffs’ financial uid in such
cases. As a direct consequence, in-
digent Negroes as well as Negroes
of moderate means are, in reality,
denied access to the courts. One
who is unable to raise sufficient
funds to defray the expense of liti¬
gating a constitutional question is
manifestly without the means
whereby one gains access to the
courts.”
Such prohibitions—against mak¬
ing financial contritions to, or
accepting financial contributions
for, the support of litigation, as
well as against furnishing coun¬
sel and volunteering legal services
—constitute not only an infringe¬
ment upon freedoms given under
the First Amendment but also up¬
on Article III of the Constitution
which provides the right of access
to federal courts, the NAACP
brief states.
It further states, in a discussion
of the laws requiring names and
addresses of NAACP members,
that such a revelation would re¬
sult in “harassment and intimida¬
tion” of the members and thus
result ultimately in what is term¬
ed “law enforcement through ex¬
posure and publicity.” The docu¬
ment quotes an article in the Chi¬
cago Law Review on the subject
of law enforcement through pub¬
licity as follows:
“Here government does not ap¬
ply, it only initiates the applica¬
tion of a punishment. The penal¬
ties attached to adverse publicity
art actually imposed by the public
itself. But because of the increas¬
ing ability of government to insti¬
gate the application of these pen¬
alties, a significant extension in its
control capacity has been accom¬
plished.”
The NAACP brief asserts that
the true purpose of the Virginia
laws requiring the listing of names
and addresses of NAACP mem¬
bers and contributors is revealed
in the fact that all but organiza¬
tions engaged in racial matters are
exempted.
