Far Reaching Benefits Seen
In President I ruman's Speech

New York,-There were indict-
ions that President Truman's
speech at the Lincoln Memorial
Mass Meeting Of the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Colored People on June 2eth
would produce far reaching effects
of a beneficial nature in domestic
race relations as well as in some
sections of international relations.
The Presidents speech, which
closed the 3Sth Annual Conference
of the NAACP, was broadcast
over the four major networks and
by short wave to every section Of
the globe where American infIu-
ence was being maintained. Ac-
cording to reliable observer. the
foreign press devoted a good deal
of editorial space to the Chief
Executives discussion of civil
rights. 1t was considered signifi-
cant that the short-wave trans
mission of Mr.. Truman's speech
was made through direct State
Department request.
Although the effect of the
speech on foreign listeners was not
underestimate, NAACP officials
were concerned primarily with the
more immediate results Of a for
thright official statement in areas

of the nation where Negroes are
constantly under pressure. The
fact that many Southern news
papers devoted part of their edi-
torial pages to the speech was con-
sidered one of the more immediate
benefits. One xample Of Southern
comment was an editorial in the
Birmingham (Alabama) Herald in
which it was stated, President
Truman was at his best when he
addressed the NAACP in Washing
ton Sunday. He spoke with reat
sincerity and force on the subject
of civil rights. He expounded a
democratic doctrine which is alto
gether admirable. His points were
~ that an evolving freedom
means a broadening of democratic
rights.
(2)that in the fight against dis.
elimination ana prejudice of fed
eral government must take the
lead without waiting for the
growth Of a will to action in the
slowest state or the most back
ward community, (3) that if we
are to maintain a democratic front
abroad, we must give practical
evidence that we have been able to
put our own house in order"

Negro CT Gets Life
Assn Asks Clemency

NEW YORK,-The NAACP Le-
gal Department today submitted a
petition for clemency to the Sec
rotary of War in behalf of Oslo T..
Brown, a Negro FORMER Private
with the 3777th Quartermaster
Truck Company. Brown had been
tried by a General Court Martial
sitting at Reims, France, on July
IL 1915 for alleged murder Of q
white serviceman.
The petition pointed out that
Brown should not have been con-.
victed of murder. Rather the cir
cumstances show that the crime
should have been reduced to man
slaughter and the sentence made
less severe than life Imprisonment
which was originally levied
against him. Browns having been
denied admission to a service
mems dance because he was a Ne
gro, and having been struck on
the chin by a white soldier without
cause Or provocation, probably
created a state Of temporary
passion which prevented the pre-.
meditation necessary for the crime
of murder, according to Franklin
Williams, NAACP assistant spec.
ial counsel who submitted the
petition.
1t was urged that the clemency
board considering this case remit
the remaining portion of Browns
sentence to confinement and offer
him an opportunity to reenlist in
the service.
