NAACP Asks Justice
Department To Stop
Terror in Memphis

New York-United States At
torney General Robert Jackson
was asked today by the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People to bring the
forces of the Justice Department
to bear in an investigation of the
open terror being melted out to
Negroes in Memphis Tennessee, by
politicians and the local police
force of Memphis.
The complete telegram signed
by Walter White and sent to jack
son today by the association fol-
lows:
"The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie protests vigorously against alb
rogation of freedom of press by
Chief Of Police of Memphis, Ten
nessee, who has called in two Ne
gro editors and threatened them If
they did not print the kind of news
matter and editorials to which he
could give his approval regarding
general racial situations in the
United States. According to wide
| ly circulated news stories Negro
business men in Memphis are be-
ing harrassed by police and a score
of more prominent Memphis Negro
citizens have been threatened with
being driven out of town. A
threat of machine gun warfare
is said to have been made by Pc.
lice Chief Boyle. 1t is alleged that
this entire situation has grown
out of the fact that some Mem
phis Negro citizens in the last
election chose to support the can
didate not favored by the politi
cal boss Ed Crump. We believ,
the situation is grave and calls fol
immediate investigation and Wig

York had been q conscientious

American history, with sue h

Lasky made four trips into

One Of the most tedious trips
was when Lasky, with a court

the facts of York's early life.
