New York. Thurgood Mar
shall, head of the NAACP legal
department, has assigned lawyers
on his staff to gather all the
facts in the brutal Staying of
14-year-old Emmett Louis Till
in Mississippi and to explore
every possible angle for legal
action.
"We cannot afford to leave
any stone unturned in our effort
to secure justice in this case"
Mr.. Marshall said. "But, equally
important is our responsibility
to do everything humanity pos
sible to prevent "a repetition of
this gruesome crime"
Meanwhile the NAACP con-
tinued its effort to arouse public
sentiment against the forces in
Mississippi which encouraged the
development of a climate of opin-
ion in which such a brutal in
senate murder could be perpetra-

Justice Department Called
To Probe Rein OF Terror
To Negroes In Mississippi

Washington - The reign of
terror against Negro citizens in
Mississippi is under investigation
by the Department of Justice for
a determination of what action

ence Mitchell, director Of the As
sociation's Washington bureau;
Mrs. Ruby Hurley, southeast re-
2ional secretary; and Medger
Evers, Mississippi state NAACP
secretary. The group submitted
an eight-point memorandum sum-
marizing the principal events in
the reign of terror which has pre-
vailed in Mississippi.
Killings Cited
"The wanton killing Of the a.
year-old lad, Emmett Louis Till,
on August 90, is the logical and
inevitable elimination Of a reign
Of terror which has been general
ed in the State Of Mississippi
throughout the year." the NAA-
CP statement said.
1t cited also the murders of
Rev. George w Lee on May 2
and Lamar Smith on August Is
because they refused to give up
their right to vote. Previously.
the NAACP had submitted affi-
davits Of 10 Negro citizens who
had been turned back from the
polls during the August pri-
maries.
"All the matters submitted on
the denial Of the vote in Missis-
sippi, the instances Of intimida-
ton, and the murders Of two
men, SAID to be connected with
voting, are under investigation"
Mr.. Olney told the delegation.
The Department will determine
what action can be taken on the
basis of the evidence and the law
when the investigation is com
pleted."
Mr.. Olney stated that the muir
der of Emmett Till had been
looked into by the Department
and the conclusion had been
reached that it was not a federal
case, but one within the jurisdic-
ton Of the state Of Mississippi.

No Comprise On Busic Rights
Roy Wilkins Tells League

Milwaukee = There can be no
compromise on basic, declared
CITIZENSHIP rights" Roy Wilkins,
executive secretary of the Nation
al Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, told dele
gates attending the forty-fifth an
nual conference of the National
Urban League in an address here
last week.
Challenging a remark by a
southern newspaper editor that
Negroes should operate on the
basis of a policy of compromise"
the NAACP leader declared that
mo group of self-respecting citi-
zens can subscribe to any pro-
gram or support any organiza-
ton that embodies the philosophy
or employs the techniques of com
promise on basic, declared citi-
zenship rights" There may be
occasions, he said, for "give and
take on method" and under Ger
tain circumstances, and in a
limited degree, on timing; but
there cannot, there must not be,
any compromise on the rights
themselves"
If there is to be interracial CO.
operation towards indignation
Mr.. Wilkins asserted, "the whites
will have to bring to the confer
ence table and the subsequent
teamwork a fortnight and hon
est recognition of the Negro as &
citizen, with all the rights per
tanning to that status. This, un
fortunately, all too few of then
have done in the past"
"There are areas of the school
question which reasonable mer
on both sides can discuss ano
there are situations which can be
resolved to the satisfaction Of al
concerned provided the principle
Of non-segregation is accepted
and movement toward the OBJ

spokesman said. "But when gov

a variety of citizens committees
open their discussions with 'nev

shut"
Negroes, too, have obligations
in any program of i%nterracial co
operation, Mr.. Wilkins pointed
out. Equality carries with it re
sponsibility," he said. AS the
whole society becomes our so
ciety we must meet its challenges
help to shape and maintain its

its burdens. 1t is a fact that dis
