CITIZENS PR0TEST 7 KILLING OF FRANCIS
WAGNER DEMANDS LYNCHINC PROBE
WAGNER ASKS
FBI PROBE OF
NEW LYNCHINGS

ALBANY, N. Y, July 10
(CNA)-Two lynchings in the same
week with victims burned to death
brought vigorous protest this week
from Senator Robert F. Wagner.
New York Democrat and co-sponsor
Of the Wagner-Van Nuys Anti
Lynching Bill which was defeated IN
the last Congress by filibuster Of
Southern Anti New Deal Democrats.
aided by Tory Republicans Senator
Wagner wired Attorney General
Cummings and urged an immediate
investigation of the lynchings at
Rolling Fork, Miss, and Arab, Ga.
At Rolling Fork, Tom Green, as
year old plantation blacksmith, was
shot, dragged through the streets
behind an automobile, and burned.
John Dukes, SO year old farm
hand, was burned to death by mob
as he was dying from bullet wounds.
with all the earnestness at my
command Wagner telegraphed At
torney General Cummings, II re-
spectfuuy~urge an immediate inves-,
tigation Of these lynchings by the
Department Of Justice to ascertain
violations of Fourteenth
Amendment Prompt action in this
respect will help bring the guilty TO
justice and tend to forestall new
wave of lynchings during the adj
journment Of Congress-"
In a statement to the press,
Senator Wagner pointed out that
experience in 1922, 1884 and 1885
demonstrated that the number Of
lynchings declined while anti lynch
ing legislation was pending in Con-
gress, only to rise again when hope
for the passage of such legislation
died.
"This tragic history is repeating
itself in 1885," he added. Con
currently with the prolonged strug-
gle for enactment of the Wagner
Van Nuys Anti Lynching Bill this
year, there was a complete cessation
of fynchings for six months. Now
that Congress has adjourned, lynch
ing is again in the ascendancy.o
Others Send Protests.
The fragrant denial of the funda-
mental constitutional rights of any
of our citizens, whatever their race
or creed, is a challenge to our DEM
ocratic faith. With all means at oul
command, we must meet the chal-
lenge Of fascist tendencies mani
tested in the action of lynchine
mobs.'
Wagner said the fight for the
anti lynching bill must be re-
newed," adding:
"Oniy by the enactment OF tha'
legislation will we achieve the per-
manent substitution of sure process
Of law for the rope, the faggot AM
the blow torch. Only by It's enact
ment can America vindicate, e
proud position as the foremost ex-
ample of a functioning democracy II
a troubled and war torn world.
am the meantime, the Fedora
Government should exercise all du'
diligence to investigate these recen
lynchings for violations Of the l4e'
amendment. TO that end ! nav
wired the attorney general OF tn
United States, urging innleoiau
action by the department OF Jus
tice."
Similar protests have been sen
bv many organizations and inaiVia.

1t is purely to defend themselves
against this dangerous movement,
which threatens to overrun the world,
that the German Reich has modified
such terrific defenses. even at the
cost OF demanding prodigious sacrifices
from the German people.
The warlike proclivities Of the neo-

'Pacifism," says the author, is an
excellent idea, when the strongest
man has conquered the world. Then
he can preserve peace"
It is statements like this that have
terrified the Italian and German
peoples and made them feel that
they must prepare themselves to the
utmost for defense. So anxious are
they that not man, woman or child
should fall alive into the hands of
the invaders that they have prepared

This marvellous mechanism for the
defense Of Italian shores, which in

Germany Is seriously threatened by

In the United States a racial theory

seems that the United States repre-
sents itself as the greatest strong
hold of the Yankee race. As is we'll
known, the Yankee is one of the purest
types OF Nordic Anglo-Saxon, char
acterized by extreme length of limb
and dolichocephalic head forma ton
with predominantly blue or gray eyes
and brown to light hair.
The Yankee, who is, OF course, a
Germanic or Saxon type, settled on
the Eastern seaboard of the United
States and later in the Middle West
particularly in the Mississippi Valley
and has always ruled the entire con-
tinent ever since.
This ruler type has remained sin
gularly unaffected by large influxes
Of other races, and represents the
purest Germanic stock.

purity.
According to the Yankee ideology,
it is the Yankee mission to repurify
