his views before the committee.
When told he would have to
identify himself fully, the man be-
came angry and lectured to the
two legislators on his rights as a
citizen. Asked if he was a COM
munist, the man replied by using
abusive language. He threatened
to have "2O or rs of us at your

bish said he had to force the man
out of the house.

fidence game, which has recently
stripped Negro women out Of sev-
eral hundred dollars, was played
on a woman here last week for
$1,000.
Mrs. Maggie Anderson, the vic

"fair-faced" Negro man offered
department store. He gave her an
to get her a good job in a local
application for a job, but stipu-
lated she place $40 with the ap-
plication along with a $40 bill of

After receiving the money, he
folded the application, placed it in
an envelope and handed it back
to her, saying this procedure was
to determine how familiar with
money she was. He then told her
to meet him at the store in 80
minutes.
