sentence Of fifteen years was sub

Middlebrooks, upon being taken

q petition for a writ of habeas

Race Relations
Dear Editor of
The Arizona Sun:


The Arizona Sun:
Last week I closed my article
with promise that 1 would write
this week on the Mayors Com
mittee on Race Relations of De-
trcit, Michigan. I am reminded
that DR.. Herman H. Long, Cen
eral Chairman of Race Relations
Dept, Fisk University, said: "The
two most outstanding organizations
represented at this institute this
year are the Mayors committee Of
Detroit, Michigan, and the AKA.
Sorority" The latter sent seven
delegates to this institute from diff
ferent states and the Mayors COM
mittee from Detroit sent nine.
The Mayors Committee: talked
with Miss Beulah T. Whitby, who
is member of the Mayors COM
mittee of Detroit, and speaker
for the institute. She brought me
up to date on how the committee
operates. She said it is sponsored
by the city, with an annual budget
of $4,000 and staff of twelve
paid workers. The main officers
are: General chairman, Co-chair-
and and Secretary.
The committee is composed of
members of various races in the
city; works closely by the side of
the mayor and serves also as a
kind of a fact finding agency. The
committee is the eye and ear of
the community. They study the
general needs and conditions of
the community. People in every
day walks of life are touched by
this committee. 1t keeps the mayor
properly informed as to the gen.
eral needs and conditions, as re-
lated to race relations.
Of the nine members of the
Detroit committee attending this
institute, three were law enforce
ment officers. Two Whites, and
one Negro. These three men rep
resented three different phases of

another the Detective Dept, and
