recounted in newly published

1t stresses the background and

civil rights for Negroes, and spells
out the role of the NAACP.

The following account of the Till

First. the two men beat the Ne

head with two As Colt pistols in
Milam's tool house behind his

Then, they drove the boy to the

Milan asked, you've still had
white women?" Till said, "Yeah."
Milan raised his .45 and shot
the boy through his right ear.
He and his half-brother Roy
then barb-wired a 74-pound gin
fan, which Till had carried to
the rivers shore at their order, to
the boys neck and rolled him into

said.
For three hours on the morning
of the killing (Sunday, August 28),
there was fire in Milam's back

of the constitutional rights and
civil liberties Of the American peo-
pie, including the Communists, and
Of the civil and inalienable human
rights of the Negro people" The
resolution noted that Gro "has
helped awaken great numbers of
people to the menace of Mccarthy
ism and racism which has resulted
in the rise of new and broad move
ments an organizations of strug-
gle in the defense Of the Bill of
Rights and of the civil rights of
and respect for the dignity of the
Negro people"
The resolution asserted that be-
cause of CRC's successes it has
been prosecuted by "reactionary
J forces in government" including
the Department of Justice, Subver-
sive Activities Control Board, New
York State Attorney General. Leg
islative Committees and others.
After the convention, Mr.. Patter-
son made the following statement:
"CRC was originally created by
broad group of white and Negro
trade union, political and civic
leaders, as peoples organization
devoted to the defense of constitu-
tional liberties and civil rights.
This convention has given serious
consideration to the development
and broadening of the movement
against McCarthyism, the intensi-
fication and extension of the ma
tional struggle for the rights of
the Negro people and against all
forms of racist terror and for the
safeguarding of civil liberties, to
the evolvement of which the educa-
tional, organizational and defense
activities of CRC have contributed
no small measure. That is the
only reason for the persistent per-
secution of Gro and its leadership
by Mccarthy minded officials
whose aim it is to victimize the
valiant and courageous Americans
who are material and moral sup
porters of Civil Rights Congress-
The resolution observed that,
"the intensification of defense &C
tivities against these attacks and
around a single defense organiza-
ton would absorb the efforts,
energies and funds of large num-
bers of people, thus diverting these
forces from the growing broad Of
fensive against reaction in general,
against the McCarren Act, Smith
Act and sedition acts, against the
current Dixiecrat genocidal attacks
on the Negro people, and for the
restoration and extension of con-
stitutional liberties and the Bill of
Rights for ALL"

But southside Virginia - where
the Negro population is heaviest
and anti-integration feeling the

Virginia, where the opposition
strength was massed, went against
the plan as forecast but in strength
far short of that needed to balance
the downstate bulge.
Returns from 1,677 of the states

vention call 287,858, while 136,110
were against it.
Gov. Thomas B. Stanley hailed
the result as something "of ire

lature in dealing with school prob

"The results will be most help
full to all who are concerned with
safeguarding our public schools
and at the same time protecting our

There was no immediate word
from opponents of the constitution

support of many clergymen, wom-
ems groups and labor spokesman to
his side.
Boothe, and many on his side,
said they were for segregated

Only one of the states 10 con-
gressional districts - the north
ern Virginia 10th across from
Washington-was recorded against
the plan and the strength of the
10th's opposition was about spent
with most of it's returns already in.
The issue was hardly in doubt
from the moment the precincts be-
gan to report. Southside Virginia,
where the Negro population is
greatest and opposition to school
Indignation in any form the most
vehement, rolled up margins for
the convention call by as much as
six and seven to one. In one south
ern county-Patrick-the margin was
37-1 for the convention, the voters
going 2,498 for and just 81
against.
In the populous 10th District
regarded by both sides as strong
hold of the anti-convention forces
the vote against the call was not
as heavy as expected. The 10th
went 24,O61 against to 1908 for
on the basis of near complete re-
turns - far short of the margin
needed to stem the tide from the
downstate areas.
