UNION

1T Is up to Bowling to produce
any evidence he may have against
the NAACP, but frankly am OF the
opinion that he is attacking that
organization only 10 cover up his
own ineffectiyeness or unwilling
ness 10 act.
THE NAACP is an organization
Of which all Americans, regardless
OF race or color. may be proud. II
includes among its warm support
ers and members Wendell l.. Will
kie, Judge Ira w. Jayne, Justice
Frank Murphy. General Theodore
Roosevelt and Herbert n. Lehman.
Bowling Incompetent
The NAACP is a trouble-mak-
ing organization in the sense that
any organization that protests in
justice is trouble-maker. In the
sense that unions are trouble-mak-
ers TO unfair employers. and in the
same sense that those who believe
in liberty are trouhle-makers for
Hitter.
I'VE must have grand jury inyes-
tgaiion OF the causes and incidents
OF the tragic race riots. Thirty-tive
people cannot be killed in the
streets OF an American city without
thorough investigation and punish
ment.
1T is obvious. however, that Mr.
Dowlings Office is not the one 10
conduct such an investigation. We
need fearless. highly competent
attorney who will not be subject to
political or racial pressures of any
kind
Il suggest that a grand jury be
constituted and that the American
Bar association be requested by the
City OF Detroit TO recommend a
special prosecutor He should not
come from Detroit our choice OF
such an attorney will not be re-
nection on Detroit but rather an in
dication TO the country that we are
anxious to have an investigation
without restriction and without in
reference from any individuals or
pressure groups"

Bowling says the Khan had
nothing 20 do with the Packard
strike. How does he know? Is
he ready 10 prove that TO grand
