the automobile from the scene of
the earlier shooting, in which Tay-
lor was injured.
Detectives said Jackson's auto
mobile was ordered impounded to
hinder his progress, should he re-
turn for it. They had watched the
car more than an hour, waiting for
Jackson to appear, unaware that he
was in the house.
Reed was tying chain to a
bumper of Jackson's car as the bull
let's struck him in the side and arm.
Detective Was off Duty
Vosper was off duty when the
battle started, but heard the call
broadcast over the police radio
when Reed was injured and hurried
to the scene.
Taylor was shot as he sat on the
front porch of his home, 524 23rd
Avenue, with his wife and Jack
sons wife.
Jackson went to the Taylor home
to see his wife about o'clock, but
was told to leave. He returned to
the house about 1915 o'clock and
fired six shots at Taylor from a
.45-caliber pistol. Three of the bull
let's struck Taylor in the chest. He
was in critical condition.
It was Vosper who traced Jack
sons automobile to the home.

Prentis I. Frazier, Publisher
The Northwest Enterprise
Dear Mr.. Frazier:

~~~-+@ -f%-f = -~-@--
In your issue of July 6. noted
an article in regard to certain pic
lures made Of the King County Re
publican Women's Club during the
recent session Of the legislature.
have not in the past paid too much
attention to such trivial since the
accusations were made by such
unbiased" individuals as the chair
man of the Republican State Gen.
trail Committee and the president
of a COP club, but when see
them reprinted in your paper with
out a due explanation of the source,
| felt should set the record
straight for you.
IN regard first to the pictures
themselves. A great number Of
groups visited my offices during
the legislative session and 1t was
at their suggestion and In order to
provide them with some souvenir
of their trip, that l arranged with
Mr.. Merle Jung of Olympia, pro-
fessional photographer, to take the
pictures. At no time were sales OF
the picture solicited. My office sent
one copy of the print to the leader
of the group with the information
that extra prints could be obtained
by those who desired them. All
money received was Immediately
turned over to Mr.. Junk.
Mrs. Anderson's group came into
my office as many others have done
and were made welcome. After
some minutes getting acquainted l
asked them If they would like to
take advantage of Mr.. Junk's pres
ence. | did not enter the picture
myself because felt that since it
was a political group the ladies'
might not like 1t. Through error,
which Mr.. Junk has freely stated
was his own, the autograph was
placed on the picture. When the
mistake was brought to his atten-
ton, Mr.. Junk offered to take back
the pictures and make new set at
no cost to the group, put Mrs.
Anderson, who evidently only want
ed some excuse to make an issue
of the matter, refused.
You made certain statements
which | would like to correct. You
state that "you couldn't get vot-
ers' pamphlet containing the meas
ures on the ballot from the Score
tary Of states office in time to do
you any good last election" We

Dear Mrs. Austin:
You did a most excellent job in

The women of the country should
be grateful to you. We used your
name over the stories so they
could grow to know you and ap-

1t was marvellous that they stood
so firmly against the Washington,

Timely remarks and greetings
from Seattle Post IntelIigencer,
night City Editor. Mr.. Jack Jar
Wis.
Mr.. wilkins opening remarks
concerned the beginning of the
NAACP in 1909 in New York
City. At that time many feared
that an organization of this kind
would upset their political and
economic conditions. but time
has proven the contrary. said
Mr.. Wilkins. and today there is
no longer a question OF rights.
but that the fight is on for the
vindication of American ideals
of Democracy.
Asserting that there can be
no rights of any Race, unless
the Negro right to vote in the
South. blocked by the Seniority
system. placing restrictions on
the ballot, has been indicated.
With a Negro poll of 2 million
votes in the South, Mr.. wilkins
emphasized the extent of the
power Of this strength to place
in office, men who will not de-
feat our cause in Congress. Cit
ing the fact that violence, dis
elimination has had set back,
back-fired in fact that not only
have Negroes received the UNI
fair treatment and mob violence,
but that the whites in many
places have been the victims.
which indicates that Race haters
have come to the end of the
rope. America will have to de-
fend Democracy, being forced to
recognize our weakness, since
every thing that happens to us
today, draws world wide notice
and attention.
Mr.. wilkins congratulated the
State of Washington in the pass
ing of the FEPC Act, which now
operates in 8 states successfully.
In closing, Mr.. Wilkins ex-
pressed the desire that newcomers
to these parts where all is new
and fine" VIII not bring with
them the old customs, and sin
cerely hoped that old habits
would be left behind in those
states from whence they come.
Now that the objective which
is in sight we will look ahead
to the building of new DEM
ocracy. Declaring there is much
talk about Negro Communist, and
that being one will not do us
very much good, but Mr.. Wilkins
asserted that: I'VE do not have
to prove ourselves, or declare
ourselves as loyal Americans.
Our loyalty cannot be question
ed"
Mrs. Augusta Shannan made
an appeal for membership in the
NAACP, which was enthusiastic
cally received.
Mrs. Roy Wilkins was intro
duced, and presented with an
Orchid corsage. by Mrs. Carrie
Lewis from the Self Improvement
Club. This club served delicious
refreshments at the social hour
following the speaking in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. wilkins.
This is the 40th Anniversary
of the NAACP with its wonder
full work and record of achieve
ment. Benediction by Rev. Foun-
tain w. Penick.

Russian Taught To Fear United States Aggression

NEW YORK (P)-Two runaway Russian fliers say that in the event of a Soviet-American war, the Russian people would be con vinced that they were the defend CTS and not the attackers.
 The pair, Anatole Barsov and Peter Pirogov, told news con- ference Wednesday that the Rus sian people have received such a steady stream of reports of Amer ican power and unfriendliness that they believe was is inevi- table.
 The fliers, who fled their home land in a stolen plane, have been in this country two weeks as guests of the state departments "Voice of America" and the Vir- ginia chamber of commerce.
 Asked what he thought would happen if they returned to Russia, Pirogov said:
 First, we would be used as weapons of propaganda to write reports of the United States, show ing all the bad things. After a few months of freedom, we would be transported to Siberia"
 He paused, then added: Maybe they would skip the first part"
