| In telegrams dispatched today to | Senators VanNuys and Minton, the | Indianapolis unit of the National of | Colored People asked that confirma- | tion of Senator Hugo Black as asso- | ciate justice of the Supreme Court | be opposed. Following President Roosevelt's I nomination of the Alabama Senator for the post, Henry J.

| Court post from Senator Black. | Similar resolutions are being | adopted by other units of the organ- | ization, Mr. Richardson said.
Claim Rights Endangered
The resolutien follows: “Confirmation of Senator Black should be vigorously opposed by every Negro in America. His supposedly liberal attitude can not be trusted. This was definitely proven while he served as police court judge in Birmingham, Ala. “His nomination is an all lovers of law, order and liberty of minority groups. His legal preparation and experience is inadequate. As a shrewd politician he | was elected by the Klan from Ala- | bama’s most prejudiced county. “If he is confirmed, the Negro will lose 50 years of progress as to interpretations of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the Fedtf eral Constitution as it applies to | Negro rights. | “His confirmation will be an in- | sult, and will be considered per- | sonal disrespect for the rights of | Negro citizens, The Negro has | taken the position that no politi- | cal party, administration or honor is greater than the respect for ane other citizen's rights and their protection.”
