from 10 counties met in the Aud

to the road. After the driver
came out of the bus into the road
where Private Green stood, he
shot and killed him in cold blood.
An argument developed on the
bus between Private Green and
the driver because the driver said
Green was sitting in a section re-
served for white people. Green
refused to move but said rather
than have any trouble he would
leave the bus. He left the bus
and got out into the road where
the driver followed him and shot
him.
After the NAACP had present
ed the case to the War Depart
ment, Truman X. Gibson Jr., Civ
ilian Aide to the Secretary of
War wrote under date of April /,
1914, saying that a synopsis of
events prepared by an Army in
Veatigating officer contained the
following statement:
Considering the testimony of
all the witnesses and the circum-
stances surrounding this case, the
conclusion Is unacceptable that
there was no justification, moral
or legal, for the taking OF the life
OF Private Edward Green BY Oder
Lachnette."
IN a letter to Assistant Attor-
ney General Clark, Thurgood
Marshall, NAACP counsel, said:
The bus driver is still working
in Alexandria and we are repeat
edIy receiving requests from Ne
gf0 soldiers in that area as to
what, If anything, is going to be
done about this man. ! hope you
can realize the effect on the mo-
rale Of the Negro soldiers who re-
allie that although one Of their
member is killed without provo
cation, the same government for
which they are fighting refuses to
tale any action whatsoever to
prosecute the guilty party"

April Decision

Atlanta, May 10 tANP)-Al-
though present indications are
there will be no barriers to Ne
groes participating in the state
wide Democratic primary sched-
uled for July 4, notices were serv-
ed in two of Georgia's largest
communities last week that Ne
groes would not be permitted to
vote in local primary elections,
From August and Macon came
announcements of city Democratic
ehairmen that they did not mean
to abide by the supreme court de-
eision in the Texas primary case.
C. Wesley Killebrew of Angus
ia, executive chairman of the
city's Democratic committee, i'm
asserting that Negroes would not
be permitted a voice in election
the mayor and other city officials,
said, 'Our primaries are a func-
ton of the Democratic party ana
We can say who can and who can
not vote.
we do not even have to use
the official registry list. We do
1t because it is a custom, and
when the time comes for an cleo
ton we ask the registrar for a
list of white voters only" The
city primary is also slated for
July.
Existing party rules, which
make no provisions for Negro bal
lots, will be followed in the May
26 Bibb county Democratic pri-
mary" C. j. Bloch, Macon party
head, asserted Tuesday.
Il do not intend to let Negroes
vote, no matter if the supreme
court did make a decision. My
decision Is final until | get furth-
er Instructions" Bloch added.
The announcements we're forth
coming, it vas believed, because
of the heavy and unprecedented
registration Of Negro voters in
time for the primaries by Negro
voters.
More than 1900 had registered
in Macon by the end of primary
qualifying time Monday, while
1856 had signed up in Augusta.
/, Macon previously had less than
Naeaalified Negro voters ard
Augusta SO.
Members of the Mems Civic
Club at Moultrio. determined that
they were going to have a say in
the forthcoming primary, refus-
ed to accept the refusal Of regis
trars i ntheir community to sign
up more than 500 Negroes who
presented themselves at the court
house Monday,
Although whites were being
registered, all Negroes were told
that they were too late; that the
books had been closed the pre-
vious Saturday.
Irked, the club members i'm
mediately wired the states attor-
ney general, r. Grady Head, for a
ruling. Late Monday afternoon,
Mr.. Head wired back, Law re-
quires closing OF registration
books six months before election,
May Z would be six months. Sew
enth being on Sunday, extra day
Is being allowed this time"
The message was carried to C..
tx McClendon, chairman of the
Colquitt county Democratic COM
mittee, who reversed the earlier
stand Of the registrars, ordering
them to remain on duty until
eight o'clock Monday night. Aft
CIR several hundred had not been
i registered by eight o'clock, the
chairman called the committee
together again Tuesday morning
and all those who came Monday
and were refused the privilege of
\ registering, were signed up with
their registrations being dated for
Monday.
The mems club has set its goal
for 1000 registered Negro voters
IN Colquitt county and by Tues
