Excerpts from the Public Press

Birmingham, Ala., News: "To the Editor of The News: 'With reference to the efforts of some unauthorized persons to obtain funds for Alcoholics Anonymous from the state, let me say that A.A.'s program is worked out entirely by A.A.s themselves and neither accepts or needs financial help from outside. We do not care to become a political football, as several organizations which have attempted to help the afflicted have become. While we do not question the sincerity of those seeking aid for A.A. from the state, we think that it is ill-advised. All we ask is the moral support of our friends and the divine guidance of the Great Spirit.' "
