WE CAN'T CONCLUDE this arhdi

the advice OF a leader who seems

are untrue as everyone who 49,

We believe this summary Sp',
the debit side OF this mee''nt I
heavy. We hope the leaders resl~~
sible for the conduct OF TINS U' "a

that will insure a full proseeu ..,
OF their program by a unl'ea Nv
OF the Negro.
