“Abolition of laws forbidding intermarriage of persons of different races. “Abolition of all laws and public administration measures which prohibit, or in practice Prevent, schools or universities. “Full and equal admittance of negroes to all waiting rooms, restaurants, hotels and theaters.” Those are the identical demands being made to- day, 27 years later, by the NAACP. On the basis of the evidence now in hand—se ‘minute portion of which I have related to you this afternoon-=no other conclusion can be drawn but that the NAACP is being used as a front and tool by subversive elements in this councy. Either knowingly or unwittingly, it has allowed itself to become part and parce] of the Communist con- spiracy to overthrow the democratic governmens - q@f this nation and iu sovereign states. Through its activities, the NAACP is fomenting strife and discord between the white and negro races in the South and is disrupting relations be- tween these races which heretofore have been— and at present are—harmonious and friendly in every respect, These activities, carried to their ul- timate conclusion, can ogfly result in conflict, bloodshed and internal revolution, delivering this meta toon she ban st. af fete eet!

The NAACP is being aided and abetted in its agitation by three “front” organizations on the Southern scene—the Southern Conference Educa- tion Fund; the Southern Regional Council; and the SRC's affiliate, the Georgia Committee on Interracial Cooperation. The Southern Conference Education Fund and the Southern Regional Coun- cil are both dominated by individuals who, like the eee WE ES LTT EE) ST ag ian VS a Enity for and participation in Communist, Com- munist-front, fellow-traveling, left-wing and sub- moony taken by both House and Senate Committees has placed known Communists in both organiza- tions and the Southern Conference Education Fund may soon be designated a subversive organi- zation. The Georvia Committee on Interracial Cooner- ation is a perfect ex example of ‘an organiza don formed for the purpose of exploiting the names, [39] reputations and services of well-intentioned do- gooders. It is composed of some of Georgia's most distinguished clergymen and most prominent civic and social leaders who have been duped into doing the bidding of the more eniser element: man: manipue lating the Southern Regional Council. Investigations currently are being made of all three organizations—the results of which will greatly embarrass those good citizens who unwit- tingly have become involved in their activities. I urge all such persons tw take immediate steps to disassociate themselves from these groups and to disavow their programs and leaders before they, to the anguish and embarrassment which exposure of these groups will necessarily mean. The activities of the NAACP and its local fronts pore a serious threat to the peace, tranquillity, gov- ernment and way of life of our State. And for that reason it is my intention to present the evidence which already has been, and currently is being, compiled about the subversive nature of these ac- tivities to the 1956 session of the General Ar sembly of Georgia convening next January for appropriate action by the elected representatives of the people of this State. In the meantime I pledge the full resources of may office to the enforcement of all existing State laws and constitutional provisions relating to sub- vertive activities and our traditional pattern of race relations. And, toward that end, I solicit—and know I can count on the full support and coopera- tion of you, the peace officers of Georgia. I thank you. (a) pe his Foe 8 pmenemanegmrscameee pam t acre onary t+
