Kimsey branded as utterly and
absolutely false" the charges that
the department "has a long record
of discriminating against the Ne
gro people of Seattle" and then
leveled a "broadside" against "a
certain element among the Ne
groes who have come to Seattle
during the war.
I'VE have found it necessary to
arrest an increasing number of
Negroes for robbings, beatings
and Standings in the downtown
area south of Yesler Way" the
chief said. This is becoming a Sc
rious problem and must be dealt
with carefully because it involves
the issue of race discrimination.

recognized and a cause for con-
Germ among their own race"
Won't Tolerate
MANY of these offenders have
been guilty of molesting white
women" the chief continued.
"The Seattle police department is
most certainly not going to toler-
ate this in any way. Moszee had a
criminal record involving a NOR
ais offense against a child. He had
been molesting a woman shortly
before he fled to the place where
he was killed.
"A good, conscientious Seattle
police officer has been killed in
line of duty while attempting to
take a law breaker into custody.

by all.
