ASSAILS BIDDLE
FOR FAILING TO
ACT In DETROIT
in NSURRECTION

NEW YORh, N. T., July .,
In letter to Attorney General
Francis Biddle, made public here
today, Edward E. Strong, National
Secretary of the National Negro
Congress, bitterly assailed Attorney
General Francis Biddle and the
Department of Justice for their
failure to act against the Ku Klux
Klan and other fascist organi-
cations that are responsible for
the recent insurrection in Detroit.
Mr.. Strong accused the Depart
ment of Justice of directly i'm
peding the war effort of the ma
ton by it's continued refusal to-
move against these groups -.
and urged that the Department of
Justice reverse it's present policy
of refusing to arrest and prose
cute the leaders of fascist organi-
cations in this country
Mr.. Strong's statement follows
in full:
Attorney General Francis Biddle
Department of Justice
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
THE National Negro Congress
is writing to express our concern
at the failure of the Department
of Justice to take those steps
necessary to punish members of
the Ku Klux Klan and other
leaders of fascist organizations that
are responsible for the unprece-
dented insurrection against our
war effort and the Negro people,
that took place in the City of
Detroit, Jun e20-22. President
Roosevelt, in sending Federal
troops to Detroit, stated that the
events there constituted an insur-
rection. Many social observers are
convinced that fascist organiza-
tions in this country are respon-
sible for this blot upon American
democracy.
In view of the great interest
demonstrated by your Department
in the activities of those progress
sive organizations in this country,
working to advance American de-
mocracy, we find it exceedingly
difficult to understand the basis
for your refusal to take steps
against the organized American
fifth column that waged war on
the Negro people in Detroit, Los
Angeles Beaumont, and Mobile.
1.-The Department of Justice has
taken the position that it could
intercede in these incidents only
when federal laws have been brok-
en-. We should like to know
whether it is not a clear violation
of the federal constitution to deny
the right of life and liberty to
people without due process of
law. We should also like to ex-
press our concern with the de-
tense of the Klan. by members of
your Department. Increasingly,
there is a growing concern, we
believe, among the American peo-
pie, by what appears to be a
clear failure to act, on the part of
the Department of Justice, against
the fascist groups in this country
that are boldly moving to take
over the streets of this country,
as did their fascist colleagues in
Europe. The world now knows, to
it's sorrow, that it was the failure
of the constituted authorities to
act against similar fascist upris-
fngs In many of the European
The southern news., 1943-07-10

can democratic government. This
fact alone is sufficient to warrant
the arrest and prosecution of the
known leaders of the Klan, and
all other similar fascist organi-
cations.
1.-THE National Negro Congress
therefore urges you to reverse the
present policy of the Department
of Justice in refusing to arrest and

Auto
Truck Owners
Warned Against
Overoptimism
BY sILER FREEMAN

Truck owners, dealers and
shippers were urged today 10
conserve highway transportation
facilities, despite the authorize
ton given truck manufacturers
TO build 1882 medium and
heavy duty trucks in the first
half of 1914. w. a.. Fish, Ghcv-
rolet's manager Of the truck de-
partment, voiced fears that the
emphasis placed on the renewal
of manufacture might make
truck owners overly optimistic.
"Any news Of new truck pro-
duction Is good news" warned
Fish. but such news should not
result in relaxing Of proper
maintenance servicing of pres
ent equipment. That would be
disastrous.
'While the production OF
SS,952 trucks will he welcome
addition to the supply of vehi-
Giles for civilian use, we must
bear In mind that In the last
year before the cessation of
civilian truck production, an
output of 600, 900 units was re-
auired to meet the demand for
new vehicles. New truck pro-
duction in the five years prior
to the imposition of war restric-
tions averaged 100000 units per
wear.
