N.A.AC.P. NOT TO ENTER SENATORIAL CAMPAIGNS
NEW YORK--Replying today to letters received from Dr. E. S. Ballou and Attorney Homer S. Brown, presidents respectively of the Montclair, N J and Pittsburgh, Pa. Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Walter White, the Association's secretary, declared that the National Office does not desire in any way to enter into the campaign for re-election of Senators Hamilton F. Kean of New Jersey and David A, Reed of Pennsylvania. He pointed out, however, that both Senators had voted in favor of the confirmation of Judge John J. Parker for the United States Supreme Court, which the Association fought because of Parker's prejudice against Negroes voting.
