AJCongress Supreme Court Brief Defends NAACP's Right to Boycott NEW YORK — The American Jewish Congress, in a friend-of-the-court brief submitted to the U.S. Sup- reme Court, defends the right of the National Asso- ciation for the Advance- ment of Colored People to conduct a boycott in support of civil rights demands and calls on the high court to re- verse a Mississippi Sup- reme Court ruling prohibit- ing the boycott and holding , the NAACP liable for dam- ages. Announcement of the fil- ing was made by Paul S. Berger, co-chair for the gov- erning council of the AJ- Congress. Asserting that the lower court decision places "an unreasonable restaint" on legitimate political action, the American Jewish Con- gress notes that "organized political activity of a kind long recognized as having constitutional protection would effectively be prohib- ited" if the high court af- firms the Mississippi deci- sion. In its own activities, the Jewish group says, it or- ganized the anti-Nazi boycott in 1933, sup- ported the lettuce boycott of Cesar Chavez and the boycott of J. P. Stevens textiles and still boycotts convention facilities in states that have not ratified the Equal Rights Amend- ment. The case — known as NAACP vs. Claiborne Hardware Co. — grew out of the boycott conducted by the NAACP from 1966 to 1969 against white merchants in Claiborne County, Miss., aimed at ending a large number of discriminatory practices against local black residents. After the mer- chants sued the NAACP and boycott leaders, the Supreme Court of Missis- sippi ultimately held that the NAACP and 92 of its members must pay boycott damages for the injury suf- fered by the stores that had filed suit. The Mississippi court based this ruling on a find- ing that the boycott was ac- companied by violence. Re- jecting the NAACP's claim that damages could be awarded only for the results of illegal conduct, the court held that injuries resulting from the legal boycott must also be covered. The American Jewish Congress brief made three main points: • The boycott is pro- tected by the First Amendment. • The boycotting group cannot be held liable for damages on the ground that Novel Depicts.

In arguing the constitu- tionality of the boycott, the American Jewish Congress brief declares: "Politically - motivated economic boycotts have a long and honored history in our nation. Moreover, the decision of this Court has consistently endorsed the right of citi- zens to organize and in- duce others to partici- pate in such boycotts.

"If respondents can prove that they were injured by the few - acts of violence identified in the record," the American Jewish Congress brief declares, "they are entitled to damages from those who caused them.

WASHINGTON — A di- rectory providing informa- tion on Jewish enrollment, Jewish studies and kosher dining at 325 colleges and universities throughout North America has been published by the Bnai Brith Hillel Foundation.

There is a charge. sating respondents for the lawful effects of peaceful boycott activity or against all the participants in the boycott. "In sum, the decision below fails to distinguish between legal and illegal means of furthering the boycott, between actions planned by the organizers to further the boycott and those engaged in indepen- dently by certain individu- als, and between culpable and nonculpable persons. Yet, such distinctions are required where First Amendment rights are con- cerned." In arguing that the Mississippi courts im- posed "unconstitutional remedies" in behalf of the white merchants of Claiborne County, the American Jewish Con- gress brief says that both the lower court injunc- tion against all further boycott-related activity, and the damages awarded, violate the "constitutional admoni- tion" that "restrictions o First Amendment freedoms must be nar- rowly drawn." Oral argument in the case is expected to be heard by the Supreme Court in Feb- ruary or March.
