Mo. Governor
viii Consider
Brutal Cases
Complaints
Registered \.
By Delegation J,

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -
(ANPl-After a delegation of
20 persons had appeared before
him with complaints Of alleged
police brutality in Kansas City,
Gov. Donnel issued statement
to the fact that he would give Sc
rious thought to the complaints.
His agreement to look into the
matter came after an hour and a
half discussion with the delega-
tlcn concerning series of Incl
dents involving reported i'll treat
ment of Negro citizens.
Spokesman for the group, the
Rev. D. A. Holmes, Carl V. john
son, lawyer; and T. B. Watkins,
undertaker-all of Kansas City
gave the governor a report of the
Autumn Leaf club raid and STAY
ing last month and presented a
detailed list OF grievances. The
delegation reported that the Ne
groes of Kansas City had lost all
confidence in members of the
police beard, with the exception
of Harry M. Gambrel, a recent
appointee of Gov. Donnell. No
specific request for dismissal CT
any member of the board was
made, but the governor said he
was given to understand from
the tenor of the suggestions made
that such course would be
welcomed.
DONNELL CONCERNED
Stating that the number of
police officers had dropped from
46 to the present 10 since the
police board took over control of
the department, the delegation
was reported to have said in a
statement, ''The Negroes of
Kansas City need the police
force and the police force needs
the Negroes" But under the pres
ent regime, the Negro population
Of Kansas City has developed dis
trusts Of the department.
Although the governor has re,
ceived several confidential re-
ports on the situation, this is the
first open complaint made. 1t
has been made known that the
chief executive is much concerns
ed with the problem. He has,
however, no definite plans for
combating the situation, other
than that probe will be insti-
gated.
Members of the board can be
removed only after charges
against them have been filed.
but Gov. Donnell can request
designations if he decides to re-
organize the board. Such resigna-
tons are usually handed in.

Mr. Edd Swaggers, the wei known

seeing Mr.. Swaggers, with his
congenial smile enjoying himself
talking and mingling with the
young folks in Ne Blackstone Cafe,
which is his favorite eating and
dining place, and there is of
course, Mrs. Swaggers and the
children who get together every
Saturday night as if in a sort of
Parish Street Family reunion, and
observing them 1 think I had been
able to see the kind of content
ment and joy that is the essence of
family life. Saturday night would
be unusual it seems too, without
