Walter White Asks Support Of Program

NEW YORK (ANP)—With his old-time assurance, Walter White upon being recalled to his post as executive secretary of the NAACP last week declared that in the light of the civil rights crisis it was highly imperative for everyone to buckle down to work and pledged himself to do so.

The board of directors at its regular monthly meeting on May 8 voted to bring Mr. White back to the NAACP as the top executive after a year's leave of absence. The board also named Roy Wilkins, who served as acting secretary during Mr. White's leave, to the newly-created post of administrator. Action on both positions is effective as of June 1.

In order to carry out the program of the NAACP, Mr. White said in his statement, "My associates and I need the support of every man, woman and child in the United States who believe in our program. I ask that support not for myself or any other individual—but for the cause itself."

NEW PLAN ADOPTED

The appointments of Mr. White and Mr. Wilkins, which will continue until Jan 1, 1951, "the normal period of appointments," were made under a new plan of organization (Continued on page 4 Column 7)
