Two Flee From
Mississippi Terror
Against NAAcP

Belzoni. Miss.-- (ANP)- Two
persons who knew the Rev.
George w. Lee have left the state
in the wake OF the ministers
death. which many consider .
lynching.
Living elsewhere are Alex Hud-
son. repeatedly an eyewitness to
the death Of Rev. Lee, and the
Rev. James H. Hargrove. 81, q
friend Of Rev. Lee.
Hudson left Mississippi a week
after the killing. He turned up
last week in East 81. Louis, Ill,
where he talked to FBI agents. He
said that on May 7, the night Rev.
Lee was shotgun blasted, he was
sitting with a friend when Rev.
Lees car passed.
Hudson said he saw another
auto overtake that Of the fight
ing Clergyman and heard shots
fired from the second car. Rev.
Lees auto then swerved off the
road and crashed into a house
while the other auto disappeared
In the darkness.
Meanwhile. Rev. Hargrove said
he left Mississippi after attending
the Victims funeral last week.
Describing himself as a solicitor
for the NAACP in Mileston. Miss,
his hometown. Rev. Hargrave said
he left after a friend told him of
overhearing two white men say
Hargrove was likely to follow
Rev. Lee IL he didn't quit work
ing for the NAACP."
The minister has been having
his troubles lately. His credit had
been frozen since the first Of the
year although II had always been
good in the past. He said he was
burdened with n mortgage cover
ing hidden expenses and cotton
ginning services he never received.
In leaving his home, the minis
ter left his wife. Mamie, and their
10 daughters.
The Rev Lee. whose death
touched off a chain OF events. was
active in trying TO get Negroes to
vote in Belzoni. Although there
were 10000 whites OF voting age
and 40, 900 Negroes, only 2S5. 900
votes were cast in the 1852 cleo
ton. How many OF these were
Negro Is not known. however, II Is
known that Negro registration
was only about 10000.
In commenting on this situation
at memorial services held for Rev.
Lee, last week. Roy wilkins of
the NAACP said:
What does this mean? It
means that Mississippi does not
have government system that
gives representation to all the
people. only TO a small part of
them. II means that not only Ne
groes. but tens OF thousands of
white are prevented from voting"
Interpreting the death OF Rev.
Lee as designed TO discourage Ne
gro registration and voting. Bel
Zoni colored persons have Joined
other Negroes in Mississippi in an
continuing its investigation OF the
minister's death.
In the meantime the FBI Is
about registration drive.

Moscow's Red Carpet for Nehru

African nations. There Nehru
was clearly cast in his real role
that of a second to the Chi
nese Communists and a sort Of
honorary aide to Chou En-lai.
The real leaders of the Ban
dung Conference turned oat
to be no Nehrus and no follow
erS of Nehru. The most effec-
tive and dedicated leaders of
the free world in Asia were not
even present-Syngman Rhee
and Chang Kai-shek. Even
the much-publicized support
Nehru was supposed to have
received from Burma and Cey-
Ion was lacking in any signif'
icant amount.
Yet the drama goes on to its
boring end and the legend of
the Nehru peace leadership
gets headlines and encourages
nopeS throughout much OF the
world. All the while, concrete
evidence multiplies every day
that the Communists use
Nehru for their own sinister
designs, and he either doesn't
recognize that fact or is per-
fectly willing to comply with
the Kremlin'S aims.
The issue of a free world or
Communist world will be ul-
timately resolved in Moscow
and Washington. Whether the
end will come in peace or war
will be due in no way to the
pseudo-noble antics of Nehru.
Evening star., 1955-06-10

The fuss and fanfare being
made in Moscow over the state
visit of India's Prime Minister
Nehru seems to be outdoing
any previous manifestation of
Soviet hospitality. The Com
munists usually go all-out in
lavishness when they welcome
a visiting dignitary known to
be friendly to the Red world,
or potentially valuable to the
Kremlin designs.
But the greeting accorded
Nehru has surpassed anything
previously known. And it seems
to have been a genuinely popu-
lar welcome. not the usual reg
imented and phony demonstra-
ton customarily staged for the
edification and misguiding OF
the guillible foreigner.
Many things, of course, can
be read into the Moscow recep-
ton for NehYu as partisanS
seek to interpret the signifi-
canoe of the festivities to suit
their own purposes. But it
should be perfectly plain. no
matter what specific interpre-
tation be put on the event.
that Nehru is regarded in the
Soviet Union as a prime and
important target for Soviet
wooing. And what is even
more significant, he is evidently
considered to be already de-
cidedly pro-Soviet and a
weighty ally in the Soviet's
scheme of things to come.
Nehru, of course, has made
much of his neutralism," and
likes to pose as the spokes-
man and leader for those peo-
Piles and nations of the world
who would avoid, if possible,
any involvement in the titanic
power struggle between the
Reds and the free world. What
is even more significant, the
Indian leader fancieS himself
and the philosophy he repre-
sents as being the only hope of
the world for peace.
In the build-up for this
fanciful position amid the
realities of the cold war,
Nehru and his aides make
much of their lofty disinterest
in the partisanship of either
side. They like to promote
the fiction of a true and pure
neutrality, unsullied by polit-
ical skulduggery or partisan
advantage. Nehru likes to feel
himself as the supreme judge,
perhaps the Solomon of the
modern world, dispensing JUS
tice to lesser men and settling
the petty quarrels of the great
masses with Olympian detach-
ment and immense wisdom.

1t is unthinkable that China

But the Kremlin leaders are
counting on the basic unity

the theological impossibility of
any Communist state waging
war on any other Communist
state, though it might, for
strategical reasons, adopt a
position of neutrality together

Presentation of the list, read

Most of those listed have been

Among those whose names
were listed were:
Wendell P. Furry. associate
professor of physics at Harvard,
who testified before Senator Nc
Carthy, Republican, of Wiscon-
sin that he was a party member
between 1888 and 1947. At one
hearing before Senator Nc
Carthy, sitting as a subcommit-
tee, Mr.. Furry invoked the Fifth
Amendment to the United States
Constitution. For this he was
reprimanded by Harvard.
