ONT advised durtng the week of 6-15-50 that according
te the communist press, officials of the Jamaica branch of
the NAACP had tnstituted action in the Supreme Court asking
that the National NAACP administrator, Roy Wiikinse, be con-
pelled to provide then with the names and addreases of other
branch offictals. It was alleged that the court fight
developed when the Jamaica officers requested the names in
order to circularigzge other branches before the 41st Annual
NAACP convention in Boston in June 1950. It was noted that
the real issue between the Janaica branch and the National
Jeadership of the NAACP waa to prevent the CP from gaining
eter ss st FE see he
control of NAACP branches.
