Thurgood Marshall, NAACP spec

the rioting reported this week
that the NAACP Detroit office has
been so swamped with requests for

members of the Detroit Branch

from the local National Lawyers

ON RACE FIGHT MURDER
CHARGE

Polk County, Iowa. Robert p
Vanderer was acquitted this week
OF a second degree murder charge
IN the killing of Harold McCasland
here NAACP counsel revealed This
week. Vanderer who was defended
by NAACP counsel was ACQUITTED
by an all white jury following a
three hour deliberation. He had
bee indicted in June, 1912.
The killing grew out of the re-
fusal Of the operators of a carni-
val to admit Negroes to certain
shows.
The case was tried on the theory
OF the right of a Negro to attend
a place of amusement with the
same freedom enjoyed by any 9TH
er person. The court also ack-
~nowledged a Negroes right to de-
fend himself if illegally assaulted.

RIOT PICTURES ANSWER

The full answer to Mayor JEFF

the Detroit police force in a white
paper, the NAACP declared are
to be found in the more than 100
action pictures it has on file that
were taken by newsmen during the
height of the riot. Among these

Another is a picture Of a covering

Jeffries and police commissioner
Witherspoon could not make ar
rests out Of the nearly 1000 white
rioters whose faces are clearly iden-
tifiable in these pictureh and who
could be easily unprecedented by ey-
en- a mediocre detective. In 2ict-

shown manning, killing and destroy

White surface quiet has settled
here Negro citizens continue to
fear that another outbreak will ac-
company the complete removal Of
troops from the streets. A grad
ual withdrawal Of these soldiers,
all Of whom are white is already
in progress.
Governor Harry Kelly informed
the NAACP on July 2 that he had,
requested that the troops remain
until the state Of emergency has
been lifted. I believe my request
will be honored. Everything is be-

The NAACP told the President
that it was gratified by the report
that the Department Of Justice has
summoned all United States Att
orneys to meet in Philadelphia this
week to discuss the obligation ard
duty of each of them to preserve
civil rights of American citizens.
The NAACP suggested that the fed

the federal, city and state police
forces all members of the Ku KIux
Khan, the Nazi Bund, and the Black
Legion or any other anti-minority

The NAACP expressed amaze

reveal did not mention the riot
during his press conference this

the NAACP said, is that he was
