and called someone over the tele-
phone. Later he was seen in vio-
lent argument with one of the po-
licemen.
Earl w. Banks, chairman of the
Negro division, Kinds County War
Finance committee, reflected the
feelings Of Negroes generally in a
letter addressed to R. G. Kenning-
ton, chairman of the committee.
Referring to the Illiois Central
station incident, Mr.. Banks wrote,
'While I do not pretend to be in a
position to give the background or
causes upon which any justifica-
tion Of the act may be predicated,
yet the description of bystanders
Of what happened presents a horri-
flying picture, and a picture which
does nothing to sell our people the
idea that they owe their govern
ment the last full measure of sacri-
flee and financial support. It is
stab to Negro morale"
Reports reached the city that
several of the soldiers had been sent
to the hospital upon arrival at Camp
Shelby, Miss, although without
confirmation. No action, as far as
could be ascertained, has been
taken by the army fourth service
command or the internal security
district of the Jackson area.

One witness, who first said that
he had been unable to sleep for two
nights following the incident, told
how the crowd of military and civil
ian police went into the railroad
car and ordered the soldiers out.
AS some newly awakened soldiers,
only partly clad in trousers and un-
dershirts and unlaced shoes came
out, they were forced to line up be-
side the passenger car, made to hold
their hands in the air, and after
questioing and beating them for
several minutes in that position,
were forced to turn their backs and
hold their hands against the car
while they continued to search and
beat them.
Another veteran employe at the
station told how, after one of the
soldiers informed the policemen
that they had just returned from
overseas, the violence and brutality
of the officers appeared to increase.
One of the policemen, the witness
said, was heard to remark, you're
not overseas now; you're in Missis-
sippi' and 'Kill the black bastards
and send them to He'll where they
belong"

WASHINGTON LEGISLATURE
KILLS TWO OF THREE BILLS

OLA l. LIZ, Vlol. Nv \1AA>A
Two of three bills, all affecting the
welfare of Negro citizens, were
killed here by the state legislature.
The measures were the civil
rights and libel bills, both termed
"key" legislation in race relations.
The civil rights bill was killed in
the senate, re-introduced in the
house of representatives and died
in the committee, while the libel bill
was introduced in the senate and
died there.
From the nature of the debate of
the FEPC bill on the floor Of the
house, it appeared that it may be
given favorable action. introduced
in the lower house, the FEPC meas
ure survived a hearing before the
labor and industries committee and
then was referred to the rules COM
mittee.
Dean Hart, local Urban league Of
ficial, predicted favorable action for
the FEPC measure and gave a
graphic picture of what is happen
ing in his area to Negroes.
''The Boeing plants and the ship
yards in the Seattle area are not
hiring our people in any appreciable
number" he said. "In fact, there
are lay-offs at the shipyards. In
other places, it is becoming more
difficult for the Negro workers to
retain their jobs"
Hart said that "the FEPC has
never been very active in the north
west region. 1t is Of the greatest
Importance that something be done
to have instituted here an office of
the National FEPC as the Negro is
being squeezed more and more. It
is obvious that as time goes by the
Negro worker is going to feel the
pressure of the cutbacks and idle
ness-all of which will tend to in
crease rectal tension"
The Municipal Transit company
has trained five "of our men as bus
drivers" Hart revealed, however
all five were disqualified" Anti
Negro employment barriers of the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph
company were recently broken and
for the first time in the history of
the company, Negroes are being
employed.
