 Ncne of the Indian conferees- who included representatives of the predominantly Hindu Congress Par ty, t.le Moslem League and the Siikhs-gave any indication of the nature of the plan presented to them or of their reactions to 1t.

SENATOR BALDWIN
 GOES WEST

Washington - Senator Bald win is planning to make a Lin coin Day speaking tour of the West, which will not be the easiest obligation that he has had. The reason being that the West is not overly happy about the power and influence of east erners in the Congress of the United States.
 The West has it hopes keyed up for multi-billion dollar de- velopment that had been plan ned by the Department of In terior. It was to cover such things as power projects, irri- gation, grazing Improvements for cattle, etc.
 In the meantime the eastern and middle western Congress men have expressed their in- tentions of wiping this item out of the budget.
 So MT. Baldwin has his choice, he can either tell his western audiences that he feels such improvements in the West are imperative and that he is in favor of them, or that he does not feel they are important and that he. will not support them.
 If he does the former, he will be a very popular man in the West but rather unpopular with his eastern Congressional asso- ciates. So MT. Baldwin is on the spot in the name of Abra- ham Lincoln and 1t will take all of his political shrewdness to get back into the East with his scalp intact.

PROSECUTION URGED FOR INTIMIDATION

New York-The Department of Justice was today urged by the NAACP to investigate and prosecute those Mississippians who testified before a Senate subcommittee in December that they resorted to intimidation and fraud to prevent Negroes from voting in the Democratic primary of last July 2, which nominated Theodore G. Bilbo.
 In a letter to Attorney Gen eral Tom Clark, Thurgood Mar shall, chief counsel, NAACP, cited evidence from the review of proceedings of the Senate Campaign Expenditures Invest igating Committees hearings in Jackson, Mississippi, on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th of Decem- Der, showing that sixty-nine complainants appeared and testified under oath to such fraud and intimidation and at least sixteen individuals, with the authority of the State or whose actions at the time of the primary were under color of law, appeared and testified under oath to numerous viola tions of federal statutes.
 Instances were cited of testi- mony of Circuit Clerks denying to qualified Negro citizens the right to register, by making re- quirements of them which they did not make of whites with the admitted purpose of preventing them from registering. Some officers of the law, said MT. Marshall, testified to Subject ing Negroes to violence and threats of violence to prevent them from registering and vot- ing. One city officer admitted
