Ben Davis Freed;
1000 in Torch
Light Parade

NEW YORK CAMP Six
policemen were injured Thursday
night when they attempted to
break up a victory parade for
City Councilman Benjamin j.
Davis Jr., one Of II Communist
leaders freed under 100000
bail.
More than 1000 Davis support
ers gathered at the corner of Len
OK ave., and 111th st., to salute
Davis and Henry Winston, the
two Negroes convicted in the Red
trial shortly after they were re-
leased from prison. The crowd in
creased as the two spoke from
a sound truck on the street corn
er.
After the speaking ended, the
audience moved into a torchlight
parade down Harlem's main
thoroughfare, waving bannersand
placards. At this point a band of
policewomen moved in to halt
the marchers who pushed past the
police detail and chanted, "We
shall not be moved"
A sound truck picked up the
chant until it spread throughout
the entire parade line. A voice
from the sound truck shouted
out, eve are not going to be
stopped by the police department
of New York City. We shall
march,"
Harlem police have been the
target of criticism from both con-
sentative and left wing quarters
over the past year for alleged
graft and brutality in the Negro
community. The soundtruck re-
portedly, hit upon this fact, dur
ing the parade. Police reinforce
ments were called and the flare
up subsidized.

get over a few campaign ticks in
