at seemed TO me unnecessary
that Mr.. Woodland should think that
in addition to what he has suffered,
the people of this country should
be lacking In gratitude for what he
did for them. Perhaps Il IL even

there are white people, many Of

how to make such a thing clear,
but II is obvious that the horrible
treatment accorded Mr.. Woodard
will result in his being unable 10 be
