Dedicated

Gulfport, Miss, March 20 (DSN)
A new Negro High School bull
ding, to replace the building de-
stroyed by fore at the Thirty first
Street High School shortly before
the end of the school term last
year, was dedicated here a few
days ago. During the dedicatin
ceremony, Prof. J. B. Greene was
given much praise for his work as
principal of the high school for the

Both the unusually large plot
of ground and the buildings were
made possible by the Board of Ed
ucation of the City schools. AS
an evidence of satisfaction in what
had been done, members of the
Board, together with the Superin-
tendent of Education were pres
ent for the dedication. Several of
the Board members and the Sup
erintendent spoke briefly, follow
ing the principal address and
praised highly the work being done
by principal Greene and his tea
ching staff, most of whom hold
college degrees. The schol is fully
accredited by the tate Department
of Education.
Of special interest is the fact
that the dedicatory services were
attended by a large number Of peo-
pie from far and near who came
to express appreciation for the
good work the principal is doing
or the cause of education. Among
those who came fro mthe distance
were principal G. M. Green of the
Fl. Smith, Arkansas High School,
and with him his son, both of
whom made the trip by plane; the
Rev. w. A. eBnder, College Min
lister and Assistant to the Presi-

daughters; Prof. Jennings and

others from every coast city and
town.
Following the dedicatory pro-
gram in which all the pastors Of
the city participated, the vast aud
fence was guided by students on
a tour of buildings and grounds,
ending at the Home Economics
Department where sandwiches and
refreshments were served to all.
The occasion was gala affair
for everyone who attended the
dedication and especially for the
people of this splendid Gulf coast

Groups Letter To
Clark Charge VIC
Ienee Being
Directed Against
Negro From Civil
Rights Agitation
RECENT INCIDENTS IN
MISSISSIPPI CITED

blIUlllSudlu - ALLol HSy 10uSi
al Tom Clark was challenged to-
day to initiate speedy and Wig
orous investigation by officers OF
the Department of Justice in the
police killing of an Akron, Ohio,
Negro rubber worker.
The victim, Samuel Bacon, an
employee of the Firestone Rubber
Company, was en- route to visit
relatives in Natchez when he was
murdered in cold blood by Mar
shall S. D. Coleman in the Fay
cite, Mississippi Jail.
Fayette, county seat of Jeffer-
son County, is a rural town of
907 population. 1t is on the edge
of Mississippi's cotton-producing
Delta.
The Youth Congress character
lied Sheriff Millsap Johnson's as
sertion that Bacon was killed in
self-defense when he attempted to
attack the marshall with an axe
that had been left in the Jail, as
a transparent and clumsy cover
up for the barbaric cruelty which
is the ingrined habit of Southern
gestapo-cops."
Pointing out that the SNYC
had special interest in the case,
the letter to Clark, signed by
Executive Secretary Louis E..
Burnham, stated that the daugh-
ter of the murdered man, Mrs.
Frances Perry, is an employee in
the Birmingham office of the
youth organization.
A representative of SNYC has
gone to Mississippi to make an
on-the-spot investigation.
The letter traced the killing to
the agitation against civil rights
being fomented by Southern gov
ernors, declared that the case is
a test of the sincerity of the
Administration in it's advocacy of
civil rights. 1t stated, 1--WE have
every right to expect the pro-
lection of the federal government
in face of the barbarians who
rule the South.
Full text of the letter follows:
Mr.. Tom Clark
u. S. Attorney General
Department of Justice
Washington, D. c.
Dear Mr.. Clark:
The enclosed Associated Press
story, relating the death of
Negro citizen at the hands of
a Mississippi sheriff, is of special
interest to the Southern Negro
Youth Congress. The daughter of
this victim of official brutality,
Mrs. Frances Perry, is employed
by this organization in our Biz
mingham office.
On the basis of Mrs. Perry's
testimony, as well as the garbled
account in the newspaper, there
is no question but that this case
warrants speedy and vigorous in
vestigation by officers of the De-
partment of Justice.
The name of the murdered Neg
70 is Samuel Bacon, rather than
Samuel Barker, as indicated in
the news story. Mr.. Bacon was
a hard working, law-abiding cit
izen, employed by the Firestone
Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio.
He had never in his life been
arrested or involved in any cri-
minal proceeding. His family has
never known him to drink intoxi-
eating liquors of any kind He
