the attention OF the nation TO the

pointed out that although these I'M
heard OF cases were routine work
Of the association. they cost thou
sands of dollars annually and often
set precedents by which verdicts
favorable to minority groups may
be reached in future cases.
A change in policy in he hand
ling Of criminal cases has been
adopted by the association for 1914,
wilkins said. In the matter of
cases involving civil rights. he de-
clared, the association is urging the
filing of civil suits in important
cases because of the inability to
obtain warrants from prosecutors
in many fragrant cases OF violation
Of civil rights.
wilkins summed up the associa-
