through the entire program, which
lasted from around 1850 to II
o'clock, and at the conclusion of
the program remaining long enough
to exchange friendly greetings with
acquaintance, and to make new ac-
quaintances among the Negro

thought to the disposition recently
widespread in the state to look at
everything in terms of total seq

ton.

Chain OF Events
Observers related the whole chain
of events to pressures and violence
initiated by Citizens Councils and
others in a move to prevent inte-
grafton of public schools.
The violence was aimed at Ne
groes who signed de-segregation
petition and pressed integration
around September z.
A victim of the violence was list
ed as John Sturdivant, porter for
Selma jewelry concern. Chief
Mullens says he has evidence that
Presley was one of the four men
who picked up Sturdivant the night
of Oct. Is shortly after Sturdivant
had come from store owned by
John Smitherman. Sturdivant's
captors, apparently thinking he
was Smitherman, drove him about
10 miles out from Selma and later
turned him loose without bodily
harm after discovering their mis-
take.
Meanwhile Smitherman wa S
warned to "get out of town by five
o'clock if you want to live" Each
time he told police that he was
bein continually threatened, Of
ficers cautioned him, asked him for
clues, and promised to investigate
The house that was burned is next
door to Smitherman's grocery
store. The pistol shots were fired
into Smitherman's home.
The siege on Smitherman started
when a milk company attempted te

The only answer, he continued,

several Congressman including him
self, and they had been promised
hearings in the next session.
He, therefore, called upon the
NAACP to urge its members to lit
