The texts of the wires follow:
To President Truman:
Reports from Mississippi indi-
cate organized effort to prevent
Negro citizens including veterans,
from registering to vote in Demo-
cratic primary on July End. Ac-
cordlng to these reports Etoy
Fletcher, Negro veteran, was de-
MED the right to register at Bran
don and was severely beaten fol-
lowing his attempt to have his
name placed on the roll of cleo
tors. The situation in that state
has been further complicated for
mob action to prevent voting by
Negroes. In view of the Supreme
Court decision outlawing the
white" primary, | respectfully
urge prompt action to halt this
violation of the constitutional
rights of American citizens. If
this defiance of the law of the
land is not promptly suppressed we
may expect a reign of terror in
Mississippi and other states where
effort is being made to circum-
vent the Supreme Court decision"
To U. S. Attorney General Tom
C. Clark:
"Defying the authority of the
United States government, cleo
ton officials and others in Mis-
sissippi, prompted by the mad
rantings Of Senator Bilbo and Con-
gresham Rankin, are resorting to
violence to prevent registration
and voting by Negro citizens. in
GLIDING veterans. In view of the
constitutional guarantees and the
Supreme Court decision outlawing
the white" primary may / urge
you to take immediate steps to
apprehend those who tamper with
our Democratic electoral system.
The right to vote is basic. The
responsibility for upholding that
right is the federal governments"
To Charles R. Denny. Jr., Fed
eral Communications Commission
chairman:
According to reports published
in Sundays papers, Senator Theo-
dore Bilbo has used the radio to
broadcast a speech calculated to
incite white Mississippians to vio-
lence against Negro citizens to
prevent them from voting in Dem
ocratic primary on July 2. The
senator's speech as reported is
clear appeal to the lynch spirit.
If violence flares anew in that
state. Senator Bilbo should be held
accountable. I urge you to make
thorough investigation of this
abuse of the radio and to take
steps to protect the people of Mis-
sissippi against such inflammatory
statements in the future"
