Mobile, Ala. -- CAMP - A
seven-man delegation from the

Mayor Megginson here last week
to ask his help in getting the city
to repeal an ordinance which
bars Negroes from the city police
force.
The mayor received the request
and said that the city commission
would take some action upon it.
However, he pointed out that
policemen and other city en-
ployees ARE hired only on the
basis OF serving the best interests
Of the people as a whole and not
on the basis of serving any parti-
cular organization. race or creed"
He added that as far as he was
concerned, the same procedure
would be followed. In reply, the
NAACP committee said that the
group would continue the fight to
place Negroes on the force.
