gro member of congress. took up
the cudgel today, shouting from
the house well that this is the
voice of a representative OF that
race which has suffered most at
the hands of the mob.

Mitchell revealed that when he
was a school teacher in Alabama
he once sat shivering all night
with a rifle in his hands as mob
marched against him. He said he
had stopped a payment on check
a white man had obtained from
him fraudulently.
Rep. Hatton w. Summers, D.,
Tex. slight. b&ld chairman OF the

southern opposition to what he
termed 'peStiferoUS interference
of the north" in a problem lie said
the states already are solving.
