much argued bill outlawing ra-
cial discrimination in the New

by Governor Dewey this week
Attempts by newsmen to get a
comment from the Governor as TO
his reaction to the bill found him
in a mo comment mood"
Liberal factions in the stats
merely referred to this attitude of
Dewey as being natural. II was re-
called that much criticism was
hurled at the governor during
his national campaign last fall for
failure to commit himself on Sow
eral issues involving racial dis
elimination, He completely ignored
Harlem voters and their accusa-
ton that his interest in the race
was confined to only the upper
bracket. whom he favored with
high state positions.

n. J. Governor
Refuses To See
Gre Delegates

Trenton, N. FIGURING into New
Jerseys capital from six states,
mass delegation. led by the Civil
Rights Congress, paraded before
the State House urging Governor
Alfred E. Driscoll to act to free
the six innocent Negroes framed
on murder charge.
While the delegation of more
than 400 people pieketed the State
House, committee of 20 minis
tiers, union, and civic leaders call
ed on Governor Driscoll to pre-
sent 10000 petition signatures urg-
ing that he free the Trenton Six,
and remove the County Proseeu-
tor, Mario Volpe. from office
They were refused a hearing.
Governor Driscoll refused to see
the big delegation of American
citizens peaceably assembled in
the city of Trenton to petition the
Governor to act Immediately for
the release of the six innocent
Negroes now sitting in the death
house of the state penetentiary.
The delegation was led by William
L. Patterson, National Executive
Secretary of the Civil Rights Con-
gress, the organization which is
leading the fight to free the Tren-
ton Six.
The innocence of these men,"
said Mr.. Patterson, is fact es-
tablished fully by the record
which reveals a complete failure
to identity them or to place them
at any time near the scene Of the
crime In fact, mistaken testimony
revealed that all of these men were
engaged at home or at work at
the time the crime was committed.
"On the basis of this irrefutable
evidence, the Governor of New
Jersey should have interviewed to
see that jnustice was done and
these innocent men Internationally
releasted without being petitioned
to act by the democratic, freedom
loving people of America.
THE Governors refusal to see
our delegation set an extremely
vicious precedent While it is true
that these tortured men will soon
find their cases on appeal before
the Supreme Court of New Jer-
sey. the Governor need not wait
