Most of the blacks in Brazil are

authority.
The investigation Is being made
upon request OF the Chicago Civil
Liberties Committee which Is ask
ing that chief Konovslxy and the
police officers acting under him be
criminally prosecuted for the vio-
lation of the federal law under the
United States Code-the civil
rights statutes.
The case originated June 8 when
Chief Konovslty and several other
police officers prohibited Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Z. Clark from NOV
ing into an apartment In Cicero.
ILL.,, which they had leased for one
year from George s. Adams,
through his renting agent, Charles
s. Edwards.
Edwards claims that he and
Mrs. Adams went out TO the
apartment building about noon,
June 8 TO wait for the Clarks to
move In. They were met at the
door by two plain clothes officers.
During their two hour wait, two
squad cars came and went but the
first two policemen remained.
The moving truck bringing the
new tenants from Chicago, arrived
at 2:30 p. m. When Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark got out Of the truck and
started to enter the building. they
were stopped by the two police
men at the door. The officers told
them that they could not enter,
according to Edwards. When he
went down stairs to see what was
wrong, he was informed that
neither the Clarks nor their furni-
ture were going into that building
The Chief of Police was then
called. He rushed out of the alley
nearby followed by about 20 men
stated Edwards In his affidavit
He quoted the Chief OF saying:
you should know better get
going get out OF here fast
There win be no moving in that
building I'm not going to en-.
danger the lives Of 10 families fol-
the likes of you"
When Edwards started TO his
parked car, Chief Konovslty
pushed him to make him move
faster, and finally showed him into
the car after he opened the door
He said he was warned by the
chief TO Get out of Cicero and
don't come back in town or you'll
get a bullet through you"
Edwards Is a college man. hav-
ing attended Penn State, Howard
and John Marshall Law school He
also served in the army three
years. He is now a licensed real
estate broker.
Clark is a graduate Of Fisk
university and served four years
in the u. s. Air Forces. He drives
a bus for the Chicago Transit
Authority and his route runs to
the Chicago-Cicero boundary.
Adams is an attorney for La
Sale National Bank and Trust
company.

SELECTED AND EDITED

@SNegroes go have no language of their
own, and their culture is American. But,
however much culturaIly assimilated they
are, they are not accepted as fuIl-fedged
Americans. They protest, not because they
feel themselves different, but because they
want to be similar, and are forcibly held to
be different. The news in Negro papers is
selected and edited to prove the theory that
they are similar and that they should be
treated as ordinary Americans.-Gunnar
