MEMORANDUM 

TO: News Directors, Radio-TV stations in Atlanta, Georgia 

FROM: Tiru Irani, Associate Director of Pubiic Information 

RE: U.S. Federal Court hearing March 17, 1967 in the case of 
the eviction of an indigent mother of four and consequent 
denial of due process and equal protection of the law. 

The problems of the pocr and the problems of the Negro are 
often synonymous. We submit that this is the new direction of the 
civil rights movement. Hence, the Atlanta eviction proceedings 
against Miss Josephine Williams, indigent mother of four, has wide 
implications because: 

* The regulations of the Atlanta Housing Authority, which 
make this treatment of Miss Williams possible, are typical 
of those of 1400 othef housing authorities across the nation. 

* In this instance, Miss Williams happens to be Negro, but a 
white citizen could just as easily be involved. 

* The Ford Foundation recently- bestowed a one million dollar 
grant upon the Legal Defense Fund for the establishment of 
the National Office for the Rights of the Indigent (NORI). 
This is a typical NORI case. 

Please remember that the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational 
Fund, Inc, (LDF) is a separate, independent organization from the 
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), 

Our correct designation is the "NAACP Legal Defense and 
Educational Fund, Inc.," but since this is admittedly long, we 
shorten it to the "NAACP Legal Defense Fund" or to "“LDE." 

LDF attorneys Howard Moore and Charles H, Jones, Jr. may be 
reached in Atlanta: day: 404-Ja 5-8372; night: 404-577-3150.
