NORFOLK. Va, Mar. 5 (P).-
The nearly SO million shortage
that wrecked Commonwealth
Building and Loan Association,
has led to two most frequently
asked questions:
/. How could the State and
Federal examiners, on their an
Inual visits, have failed to detect
the shortages which totaled more
than twice the amount taken by
the bandits in the Boston Brink S
robbery.
2. How can an embezzler spend
so much money. even though
such a spending spree was spread
over % years?
Record System Disputed
Though complete answers
must await the grand larceny
trial of commemorative former
assistant secretary treasurer.
Minnie Mangum, some light was
shed on the subjects in the past
week.
A Norfolk businessman query
to State Banking Commissioner
L. r. Richie concerning exami-
ners' failure to detect the defal-
cations brought from Mr.. Richie
this reply:
1t was because the record
cards of many shareholders
were concealed from the exami-
ners" and the "embezzlement
was carried on in such a man
ner that no trace of it appeared
on the books of the company
that were shown to the exami-
ners."
Roy F. Phillips, who was presi-
dent of Commonwealth when it
failed last month, took issue with
Mr.. Ritchie's statement. Said
Mr.. Phillips:

president, there has not been

heard promise after promise
What we seek now is action, anc
nothing short of action-fina
action resulting in enactment
will suffice"
He said the proposals merely
would utilize constitutional gov
eminent "as against mob rule.
1.-THE responsibility is squarely
up to the Congress of all the
people" he declared. 1T is nc
exaggeration solemnly to assert
that upon it's action may hang
the fate of our country as a free
nation"
Mr.. wilkins cautioned against
extremiSm to achieve equal
rights for men of all races and
creeds.
while necessarily we shall be
talking for the most part about
the shortcomings. the imperfec-
lions of our democracy" he said,
"let nc man make the mistake
of thinking that we despair Of
the resources of our democracy,
our Government, our Constitu-
ton our courts and the execu-
tive and legislative branches OF
our Federal Government"
Indignation Cited
He said it should not be for
gotten that, while one Negro
student has been driven from
one Southern university, more
than 20 Southern universities
have admitted more than 1000
Negro students since 1850. Also,
he observed, more than IL uni
versities have invited Miss Lucy
to enroll fol their classes. He
described her as a fugitive from
mob action in Alabama"
Mr.. Wilkins claimed there is
a South-wide campaign to "i1
timidate and terrorize citizens
seeking equal rights for ALL" He
was particularly critical OF
white citizens councils" which
he said were formed with the
openly expressed objective OF
defying the Supreme Courts
ruling that racially segregated
public schools are unconstitu-
tional.
They work openly against
law and order" he asserted
They ridicule and trample the
rights of citizens. They ignore
comtemptuously the ruling Of
United States courts. There il
strong indication, especially II
the University of Alabama Incl.
dent, that they have stimulated
violence and mob action in def
ance of the law"
Economic Pressure Charged
Mr.. Wilkins also declared the
white citizens councils adopted
economic pressure as a weapon
ito prevent citizens from exer.
cising their rights"
1.-THE right of petition has
been suppressed through denying
signers credit, employment and
consumer goods for resale at
retail stores" he said. Signers OF
petitions to school boards have
had their mortgages and other
loans called for immediate pay
ment. Small farmers have been
denied loans for crops. Workers
have been fired summarily from
their jobs"
He said civil rights legislation
has been blocked by the political
indifference of leaders in both
parties, by "strangling proce-
dures" in both the Senate and
House and by an anti-democratic
combination Of members.
