ACLU Protests Cicero Riot

The Chicago Division, ACLU, joined civic leaders and
organizations in enraged protest over Indictment of five
persons along with the Cicero police chief by a Cook
County grand jury investigating the recent Cicero riot.
Not one of the rioters was indicted although more than
100 were arrested during the seige against the Cicero a.
partment building, July 10, II and IL, over the rental Of
an apartment by Negro war veteran Harvey Clark.
In an unprecedented piece of legal and moral con-
fusion the grand jury charged the following people with
conspiracy to damage property, deplete the value of
neighboring real estate and incite a riot:
Mrs. Camille DeRose, former owner of the apartment
building stormed by vandals protesting the occupancy of
the Clark family: George c. Adams, former attorney for
Mrs. DeRose and beneficiary OF a trust currently owning
the building; Charles Edwards, real estate and rental a.
gent for the building; George N. Leighton, attorney for
the Clark family and the National Association for the Adj
vancemenu of Colored People; and Norman Silverman.
who was repeatedly seen distributing Communist literature
in Cicero over a month after the riot. Police Chief Erwin
nonovsky was charged with misconduct in public office.
The four people involved in the real estate transaction
were indicted under Section 1879 of the Illinois Criminal
Code which forbids "two or more persons to conspire to
injure the person, character, business or properly of an
other.
Although the real estate transaction was entirely le-
gal, the grand jury in effect contends that the four people
deliberately conspired to incte a riot, depreciate the value
Of the Compartment building and the value of other sur
rounding property by renting to a Negro war veteran.
Immediately following the Indictment, the Chicago
ACLU Division offered it's services to the five persons in
dicted and called on the Chicago Bar Association to join
AULU in defending these people and in investigating the
proceedings that led to such a miscarriage of justice.
In cooperation with the Chicago Council Against Ra-
cal and Religious Discrimination, the Chicago Division
called on President Truman and U. S. Attorney McGrath
for a federal grand jury investigation. In a letter to
States Attorney Boyle, the Chicago Division proposed
that he present a motion to the court at the arrangement
proceedings Sept. rs to dismiss the Indictment and call a
new grand jury.
ACLU Executive Secretary Ed Meyerding said, Ode
spite the fact that the three-day riot was replete with
photographers, Investigators from the states attorneys
office, police, sheriff's deputies, and observers from in
dependent organizations such as ACLU there is a question
as to whether the states attorneys office presented ade-
quate evidence to secure indictments of the rioters"
To aid in establishing the identity Of rioters, Meyer
ding announced plans to publish pictures of the rioters
which will be widely circulated in Cicero. A reward fol
the correct identification Of rioters will be paid by ACLU

U. N. Officials Dubious
OF Morrison Timing in
Urging Chinese Talks
BY the Assoeiated Press

DUDLEY, England, April s.
Foreign Secretary Herbert Morri-
son declared last night that this
is the psychological moment" to
negotiate an end to the fighting
in Korea. He urged Communist
China to cooperate.
At the United Nations in New
York, however, high officials said
they had no information leading
them to believe this is the time
to try to negotiate Korean peace
with Red China. All evidence,
they said, including Peiping's S
scornful rejection of Gen. Mac
Arthur's truce offer and continued
ignoring of U. N. peace feelers,
points the other way.
In his first statement of main
principles" Mr.. Morrison, who
took ailing Ernest Bevin's post
last month, said that any one
who did not feel that peace ne
gotiations should be started, lis
not speaking in the true spirit of
the United Nations or of the COM
mon peoples of the world"
Mr.. Morrison asserted that his
first task in his new job was to
promote world peace. He declared
that Britain stood ready to seek
q reasonable and genuine settle
ment of differences by negotia-
ton" in both the Far East and
Europe. But he warned:
IF any one is tempted to depart
from the way of negotiation and
to try to impose a settlement by
force, they will find us ready to
defend the things in which we
believe. our democratic way of
life"
Mr.. Morrison said he wanted to
be an optimist about the possibil-
ity Of ironing out with Russia the
differences that are causing world
tension. He said Britain welcomes
the prospect of a Big Four Foreign
Ministers Conference on these
Issues.

pansion of arms production and

He told the foreign ministers
Economic Committee that Defense
Department orders now are be-
ing placed at the rate of IS bill
lion month and that rate would
continue for the balance of the
year. He said that new plants
are being built not only to supply
war goods but to aid the output
|of raw materials.
Goals of Expansion.
He cited these as some of the
goals of our industrial expansion
by 1858:
/. A II per cent increase in the
manufacture of steel to a total of
lit million tons a year; a 550.000-
ton increase in the output of
aluminium to give us yearly rate
of 1.3 million tons and nearly
doubled output of synthetic rub
ber to a goal of 950,00O tons a
year.
The defense mobilizer said the
impact of this program on the
Civilian economy of the United
States would be felt quite sub
stantially by the end of the year" +"
He added that additional cutbacks
Iof non-defense goods would be
necessary.
