Mr.. Kettle said the temptations

Leading Dixiecrot
Is Accused Of
ImoroIity In Ala.

Birmingham, Ala, (NNPA). .-Po-
lice Commissioner Eugene (BulD
Connor, Sc, a leading Dixiecrat
and advocate of white supremacy,
last Wednesday was charged with
having or attempting to have"
intimate relations with his Secre-
tary, Miss Christina Brown, 80.
Connor has long record of ac-
tlvities against colored people. He
was one of the Alabama delegates
who walked out of the Democratic
national convention in Philadelphia
in 1948 because of the adoption of
strong civil rights plank in the
Democratic platform.
During his administrator as po-
lice commissioner some sixty-one
colored citizens have been killed oy
Birmingham police-twenty-six in
1851 and 35 in the years 1948-50,
including IA in 1948 while Connor
was campaigning for Governor on
and .anti-Negro platform.
Connor was responsible for the
arrest of former United States
Senator Glen H. Taylor, of Idaho,
at the time he was the candidate
of the Progressive party for Vice
President. Taylor went to Birm-
ingham to address meeting of the
Southern Negro Youth Congress on

BOMBING .

ida," The Times said &c. surely all
good citizens in Florida will agree
with good citizens elsewhere that
the men who blew up the Moore
house, Killing Mr. Moore and SER
iously injuring his wife, ought to
be hunted down and put where
they can do no further mischief.
FLORIDA has been suffering from
a wave of crimes arising from re-
ligious as we'll as racial bias. A
series of bombings of Catholic
churches and of synagogues is part
of that story State and federal in
vestigations are already in process.
The matter is not one for Florida
alone, for when any citizen, for
any reason, in any community, is
denied that basic liberties and pro-
tectionS we are all threatened.
Neither in Illinois Ga reference to
the Cicero riots) nor in Florida
can rule by terror be tolerated"
The Philadelphia Inquirer of
last Friday castigated Governor
Warren for his feeble efforts to
bring to justice the murderer of
Mr.. Moore and the perpetrators of
the dynamiting of colored homes
and Jewish and Catholic places of
worship, which it called "Ku Klux-
ism at it's worst"
Under the caption, Florida
Bombing Outrages Demand Fed
eral Action" the Inquirer said:
Governor Warren's reaction to
the wave of persecution in his state
has been weak and ineffective. He
has ordered Investigations to be
made, none of which gets any,
where It is evident that the citi-
zens of Florida are not getting the
protection they are entitled to from
the state, and action by the Federal
government is their only hope"
Takin the position that much of
the violence stems from the 1949
Groveland rape case, the Inquirer
pointed out THAT one of the four
suspects was killed by passe, two
of the defendants were sentenced
to death, and the fourth youth in
volved was sent to prison for life
because he was only 16 years old.
After observing that the sheriff,
who shot and killed one of the two
defendants, for whom the United
States Supreme Court ordered
new trial, and while the other two
youths were handcuffed together
and were being transferred to an
other Jail, has been exonerated, The
Inquirer said:
Racial bigots have used the
Groveland case as an excuse for
Negro-baiting and persecution. AS
one hate demonstration feeds an
other, the flare-up of violence has
struck fields far removed from
the original issue, involving other
minority groups
Governor Warren's offer Of
$1,000 reward for information
bringing about conviction of those
responsible for the bombing of
Moore's home, and $1,000 for in
formation leading to those guilty
of dvnanitinU Nooro Io1xicb ond
Catholic centers in Miami is typical
of the half-hearted measures he
has taken. Few persons are likely
to accept that kind of an offer to
stick their necks out to the Kluxers.

the bombing outrages leading to

ACCORDING TO the bdlClIIlOIe OQll
of last Friday, Florida "faces the
same grave danger" that Baltimore
had a taste of in the operations
of the Know Nothing party in the
middle of the last century, and In
diana had during the height of
the Ku Klux Klan.
The Sun said: "Whatever cor
rective measures the state may
have taken have not been enough,
obviously. The terroriStS are carry
ing on. AS matters stand, the state
has not demonstrated its ability
to stop them. It can afford to lose
no more time in putting an end
to this disgraceful situation"
The Washington Post of last
Saturday declared that "FBI in
tervention ought to be warmly
welcomed by the people of Florida
- whether in the end it uncovers
violation of Federal laws or not"
"The experience and facilities of
the Federal agency can be i'm
mensely helpful to local authori
ties in situation which has ap-
parently gone beyond their control.
Whether the bombings are the
work of the Ku Klux Klan as
may be reasonably conjectured
from the bigotry they suggest =
or merely of some crazed indivi-
dual, they cry aloud for immediate
and effective law enforcement.
"The killing of the NAACP Of
ficial on Christmas night was, of
course, a plain case of murder =
a state crime. But if the FBI can
help solve it and bring the muir
derer and any accomplices to trial
in a State court, Florida authori-
ties ought to rejoice at its assis-
tance.
"The one indiSputable link be-
tween the bombings in Miami and
the brutal shooting of the Grove
land prisoners is that the ugliest
sort of racism seems to lie behind
both. When state officers flout the
law, it can scarcely be surprising
that the lynch spirit should spread.
"No minority is safe when the
rights of any other minority are
disregarded the violation of Negro
rights is quite naturally succeeded
by the violation of Jewish and
Catholic rights and by the destruc-
ton, in the last analysis, of the
community's whole system of law
and order. There is need for every
effort = on the part Of state and
Federal authorities working in CO.
operation = to stamp out this
wave of violence in Florida"
The Richmond (Virginia) Times
Dispatch of last Friday saw in
the murder of Mr.. Moore and the
bombings of Catholic and Jewish
churches and colored homes in
Florida, a revival of the Ku Klux
Klan, or the operations of some
other organization or group with
the same vicious objectives.
Under the head: "Besmirching
our Good Name" The Times-Dis-
patch said:
"Aside from the utter indefensi-
bility of this hoodlumism and Grim
inality, such episodes furnish the
Communist propagandists with ex-
actly the material they are looking
for. The United States, professedly
the leader of the democratic world,
professedly a profound believer in
civil liberties and government un-
der law, is actually the scene of a
series of violent attacks on minor
ity groups in Florida. And for those
attacks nobody, up to now, has
been punished.
''That's the line we may expect
from Pravada. Furthermore, there
is altogether too much truth in it
for comfort. Florida authorities
