ton regarding civil rights.

The following morning this re-
porter read in the papers that

the talk about the u. N. policing

cided 10 ask the President what
he intended to do about II.

that Mr.. Eisenhower. perhaps did
not wish TO tangie with any civil
rights issues or 10 interfere with
states rights. 80 he recognized
behind me, in front Of

avoided calling on me.
I must have been on my feet

Of exercise, snapped back that

situation wednesday, was 70
Irritating because II has been
repeated again and again over
period Of at least a half-year.
This incident started me 10
thinking back 10 the time when
the Negro people had no represen-
