Civil Rights

Atlanta, Nov 10-The South
ern Regional Council today urged
passage of legislation to accom-
plish Civil Rights reform, but
dismissed that it must be accom-
panied by educational and econ
omic Improvement.
The interracial organization,
with membership in fourteen
states, approved an executive COM
mittee report which declared:
Inequality in the treatment of
any group of citizens is clearly
illegal. Thus laws should be in
voked to end inequality
At it's annual meetig today at
Atlanta University, a Negro In
stitution the council did not name
specific rights for inclusion in
legislation and took no formal
stand on President Truman's Civ
il Rights proposals.
However, DR., Benjamin F. Mays
president of Atlanta's Morehouse
College for Negroes, urged the
council not to participate in any
move to compromise the Presl-
dents proposals with traditional
Southern views He said that II
President Truman accepted a
Southern compromise version Of
civil rights "you aren't going to
have civil rights program"
"Let President Truman handle
it," DIR. Mays said.
On a motion by DR.. Masy, the
council voted to conduct study
on the function of legislation in
impriving social conditions. The
council, headed by Paul D. Will
Jams, of Richmond, Va, said FUR
Their: contrary to common laws
that have been proposed deal with
basic human rights that are re-
uuired by even the most elemen-
tary sense of deceny."
DR.. George S. Mitchell, execu-
i've director of the organization,
outlined an overall plan for
Southern Developments. He sug-
gested as the "main job for our
membership" the equalization of
school facilities.

Veterans Raise Funds For Legal
Action In Comrades Death
Slain Veteran FIeed Because OF Fear
OF Brutality
Officers Placed Under $1,000 Bond

Prentiss, Miss, Nov 16 =. A
suit for $4,000 may be filed
agaisst the officers and their
bondsmen who shot to death LEI.
fie Martin, Negro veteran, the
father of five small children and
a student in the CT Training
school OF Prentiss Institute here,
as he fled from his car on the
highway near Bassfieeld in La
mar County, two weeks ago last
saturday.
The filing of the suit was in
dicated this week when the stud
ents in the CT Training school at
Prentiss, raised a fund OF $500 for
legal action against the slayers
of their dead comrade.
Occording to reports, after
raising the fund representatives
of the group went to Hattiesburg,
where, after presenting him the
story os the Staying, they had no
trouble in obtaining the services
of Atty. Earl Wingo, among the
ablest lawyers in the state. At
torney Wingo promised to use
every effort in the prosecution of
the case.
Because of political conditions
there is the greatest difficulty in
obtaining criminal action in such
cases and for this reason, and
! the fact that the veteran leaves
his wife with five small children,
the greatest effort will be direct
ed toward the $4,000 civil suit.
urday, November 6, Martin, ac-
companied by group of friends,
was driving on, the highway east
of Bassfield, in recently pur-
chased Buick car.
They met Constable Claude
Burkettt and anne Warden Bass,
driving on the highway, who
tagged them, and told them to
slow down. Martin drove on but
noted hiatt the Officers had turned
to follow them. Occupants report
ed that he attempted to outrun
the officers hoping to cross the
county line. When his car had a
blowout he stopped, Jumped out
of the car and started running to-
wards the woods. The Constable
and Game Warden jumped out
Of their car and started shooting
at the fleeing veteran.
The car was thoroughly search
ed even though the Officers had
no warrants, but nothing was
found.
Martin was found dead not far
from the highway Sunday morning
with bullet through his back.
Ither veterans and friends of
Martin said that the only rea-
son Hor him to have fled was be-
cause of fear of brutality from
I

their dislike Or Negro veterans,

biles and going to school and

Lawrence C. Howard, vice presi-
dent of the Des Moines Qa.)

out attack on racial discrimin-
alton and segregation at last
nights opening session.
Noting that some progress has
been made on this problem, he
called attention to "jim crowism
still existing in the armed forces
and in many phases of everyday
living in both North and South
eve have the obligation to see
that whatever un-American prac-
tees prevail they are wiped out
or corrected" he said. eve have
a responsibility to see that the
schools are interfrated so that
the children of our land do not
have to graw up in a black and
white culture and can mature with
the knowledge and feeling that
they are citizens, the equal Of
any other American.
"The thesis Of our attack has
been that the limitation of hui
man freedom in St. Louis; that
hampering and limiting the de-
velopment of human potential
ties in the South hampers and
limits human progress generally
and overflows this nation into
the world picture"
