NAACP Leader Outlines Action
By Clare Casey
Hartzell Whyte, NAACP regional attorney, last night urged the Civil Rights Council (CRC) to participate with other civil rights organizations in the Lawrence area.
The suggestion was made when Whyte, state membership chairman for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke to the CRC in the Kansas Union.
"I urge you to join local branches in the civil rights field." Whyte said.
"Not only join,but work as active members of these groups."
WHYTE SAID higher education in the Lawrence area was valuable for a successful civil rights group.
Members of the CRC asked Whyte what the proper procedure would be if they found that employers in the Lawrence area were discriminating.
Whyte suggested working with the local labor and industry committee of the NAACP. The next step would be to take a survey and to find out definitely if there were any discrimination practices among the employers. When discrimination has been found the group should send a committee to talk to the manager of the store.
WHYTE SAID if the store was part of a national chain, the committee should write to the chain's headquarters, informing them of the discrimination policy in the local store.
Kansas law states that if an employer employs more than eight persons he must practice equal employment.
According to Whyte, if the group did not get any action after writing to the chain's headquarters, the next step is to contact the state civil rights commission. This group will send a field representative to talk to the manager and legally enforce the state's equal employment laws.
"THE KANASS CITY chapter of the NAACP is endorsing the present civil rights bill which is now coming to the floor of Congress. We have sent delegates to Washington to talk to our Congressmen, and also have begun a letter-writing campaign to have residents of Kansas write their Congressmen urging endorsement of the civil rights bill."
Whyte said the NAACP also seeks to eliminate discrimination in the field of public accommodations throughout the country.
George Ragsdale, Kansas City senior and president of the CRC, told the group what the council would be doing about discrimination in Lawrence taverns.
"I feel that we should not drop the tavern issue, but that we should de-emphasize it," Ragsdale said.

"There are more immediate problems which need our concern. I think we should look into the idea of forming a committee that could be looking into the problem."
RAGSDALE told the 56 persons present that the council would have to make the decisions on what it would do this year. He said that he hoped to have an active group with everyone taking a creative part.
"We must work collectively," said Ragsdale. "We should not have any on-lookers in the group."
