DOES THE LINDBERcH LAW PROTECT NEGROES?

The recent lynchng of Claud Neal at Mariana, Fla
has raised vital issue in relation to the lndbergh Law
Does this law apply to mob leaders who take Negro We
times state lines and put them to death? In the
opinion of Attorney General Cummings. the Lindbergh
the of Claud Neal but this OPP
inon is not shared by hosts of American citizens who
believe justc and fair play Even many influential
white Southeners believe the Federal Government has
authority under the Lnbergh kidnapping Law, to i'm
tervene Florida lynching and seek out and punish
the members of the mob.
In discussing this issue in letter to President Roose
welt Prof Albert Barnce. white Southern educator
at Scarrett College, Nashville Tenn writes follows
II Il Southern with Slaves-holdng ancestors
both sides know the southern situation and South
politicians There absolutely chance for the
ighened sentiment Of the South to function through
county state channels in ynching cases Nothing was
done in the Cordie Check ynchng and nothing will be
done in the Of the Claud Neal lynching
Il am convinced that only Federal legislation and
Federal actions will be effective If the Lindbergh Law
dosent apply to lynching even when state line is
crossed. then must have specifically framed legisla
ton along the lines Of the Cosgan Wagner antiynching
bin which died in committee the last session of Con
gress.
We share Mr. Barnets opinion in this matter State and
canty authorities not be depended upon to prevent
ynchings to apprehend and punish the mmbers of
mobs Federal legislation and Federal intervention are
needed.
