published by the LCCR, and dated December, 1955, Iii-i forth l the
aims .5 "The civil-Rights Worksheet for 1956," and lists the tol-
lowing eight points:

'1hese two problems have been highlighted by the Mississippi situation.
The article went on to state that it was also intended to ask lore
power for the Justice Department in dealing with civil rights matters,
and that the civil rights section of the Justice Department be given
broad powers and additional personnel, as a full-fledged Division
of the Department of Justice.
The DW*, issue of February 8, 1956, in an article, "8-
Point Program Drawn Up for Mass Civil Rights Lobby in Capital,"
states that Congress would be urged by more than 2,000 delegates
from Negro,labor, church, fraternal, and people's organizations
on March A - 6, 1956, to enact aaeight point legislative program
on civil rights. According to R01 WILKINS, who called the nobili-
zation, the 51 sponsoring organizations would ask for an eight point
program which was set out in the article, and which eight points,
with slight variations, were the same eight points as set forth
in the pamphlet, "Congress Must Act - On Civil Rights."

The "Evening Star," ikhhh!hgt5n dail? newspaper, issue
of March 5, 1956, in an article, "1509 Delegates Back Civil Rights
Campaign," reflected that 1500 delegates from 38 states converged
on Members of Congress to petition for prompt civil rights legis-
lation, in line with demands of the NAACP, which was described by
ROY WILKINS as an eight point program emphasizing the protection
of the individual.

A copy of a leaflet, "Democracy on Trial," Volume I,
Number 5, issue of November ll, 1955, published by the "Ohio Com-
mittee for Smith Act Defendants," page 2, reflected that the leader-
ship of the UAHFCIO announced participation with the NAACP in a giant
civil rights march on Washington in January, 1956. This leaflet
stated that the lynching of EMMETT TILL spurred the demands for
all civil rights action to be placed before the
leaflet Hes made available to be.-

The DW*, issue of Februfy 3, 1956, previously referred to,
reflects that representatives from Congressional Districts throughout
the country, estimated at 2500 people, would gather in Washington
for a civil rights mobilization larch A - 6, 1956. It Hal lnncunccd
by ROY WILKINS, Chaiznwn of the LCCH, that registration would be
held on March L, that the opening mass meeting would be held at the
Interdepartmental Auditorium, and all other sessions were to be held
at the Willard Hotel. WILKINS reportedly stated that the mobilization
was spurred by_the upsurge of protest against EMMTT LOUIS TILL's
and other murders in Mississippi and the rise of "White Citizens
Council" racism in Southern areas. The emphasis was to be placed
on getting the widest "grass roots" representation from across the
nation and, wherever possible, the Conference would seek to hold
meetings on a Congressional District basis, from which representatives
to the Conference would be chosen. The delegates were to be from
the 51 member organizations, except those who could be certified
by Conference agencies.
The "Washington Post and Times Herald," issue of February 6,
1956, in the article, "Assembly Called on Civil Eights," reilects

The "Evening Star," issue of March 5, 1956, in an article,
"1500 Delegates Back Civil Rights Campaign," reflected that the
Conference was composed of 1500 delegates from 38 states.
The "Afro-American," in its issue of March 10, 1956, in
an article, "At Civil Rights Meeting: we Are Not Afraid - Delegates,"
reflects that approximately 1500 delegates representing approximately
30 organizations attended the Assembly and that the largest dele-
gations were from Michigan, Illinois, and New York.
The D*, issue of March 6, 1956, in an article, "2000
Delegates Press Congress on Rights Stand," reflected that although
there were full complements in all delegations, there was very little
optimism expressed for the success of civil rights legislation duing
this session.
The "Washington Post and Times Herald," issue of March 7,
1956, in an article, "Civil Rights Unit Closes Meeting," reflects
that delegates to the National Civil Rights Assembly meeting wound
up two days of visits with their Congressmen and that registration
had been annouced at 2000 persons, representing about 50 organi-
zations. Regarding visits to Congressmen, ROY WILKINS, Chairman of
the Assembly, stated, "We've had very few refusals" compared with
1950 when "we were last here" and he stated that even though som
rejections or rebuffs were received, "your presence" and calling
attention to the issues has served a purpose.

The DW*, issue of March 5, 1956, in an article, "Civil

WILKINS' speech on March 4, 1956, that both WILKINSF speech and
the projected conference program were mild in tone and limited to
Congressional lobbying for substantially the same legislative program
advanced in 1952. It went on to state, "There was an unusually
strong anti~Communist slant in the WILKINS speech. At one point
