SCHULTZ FLAYS C-MEN TO CURB
DISTRICT HEADS LYNCH|NC ASKED

GNSD A compromise anti,
lynching bill was proposed today
by Representative Ludlow, DO,
Indiana.
The measure makes it unlawful
for a person to cross a State line
to aid in lynching, or to use the
mails or any other interstate COM
munication. In the event of a
lynching. the Federal Bureau of
Investigation agents would be
called in.
Adopting language of the anti
kidnapping law. Ludlow's bill, would
require investigation by G-Men
even though there is no grounds
for prosecution.
"As long as the lawless ele-
ment knows that prosecution
under State laws is farce, to
be flouted with impunity, there
will be no real curb on lynchers,'
said Ludlow.
Asserting that lynching is not
entirely a sectional crime, Ludlow
said that the worst lynching I
have ever known occurred In In
diana and the victims were
whites"

quently are forced to go to the
District Building to consult with
the Commissioners, Schultz de.
clared:
The Commissioners should
come up here and appear at the
District Committee hearings
and advance the cause of the
District. Who do they think
they are? They get paid, don't
they? Why don't they do their
job?"
Instead of appearing in person,
the commissioners send Corpora.
ton Counsel Elwood Seal to rep
resent them at congressional com,
mittee hearings, Schultz pointed
out.

vigorously protested against in.
stallation of parking meters here
last year, revealed he intends to
