Prophet" Gets MIXED While Aiding White Citizens Council

M. D. Willet, the ae.f-styled
prophet, and confessed aid of
segregationists, and who claims to
be presently pastoring church
III Saginaw, Michigan, was not re-
eeived too gracefully by Negroes
In Pine Bluff last week.
Willet spoke there Saturday
and was met with a p,cketline by
students from a nearby college.
Pine Bluff police Immediately
broke the picketline and arrested
some of the pieketeers, to give
the prophet" leeway to contin-
lie his vituperation of the Negro,
and the NAACP.
The prophet was next met
with a milk bath by one of his
audience.
Willet at one time was a famil-
lar figure around Little Rock
with his radio attacks on the Ne
gro, and driver of Cadillac auto
mobiles until the State Press ex-
posed him to the public and
threw snag into his program.
Willet sued the Press for de-
famation of character, and was
awarded judgment by an all
white jury.
In going to Pine Bluff to make
soapbox speeches to aid the
cause of segregationists, he said
that he had completed a tour of
the north at which time he was
convinced that the north is US
ing the south and the Negro
population as whipping boys"
He stated: The north is no
friend of the Negro. They are not
concerned with the betterment of
the colored race" Willet fully en-
dorsed the actions of Governor
Faubua. and he blamed the Lit
tie Rock School Board and the
NAACP for the Capital City's
school crisis. 1t was reported hi
verbal attacks were directed at
Negroes and Jews.
Willet preached in Pine Blu +
a little more than year ago
at that time he criticized the MA
ACP for being controlled by
white people. He now claims
that the NAACP still lis not a
Negro organization, but one con-
trolled by white people using Me-
groes for both political and fin
ancial gain"

hours, detectives not only had
made an arrest, they also had

ed money handler for the
Pennsylvania Railroad several
years. For the last six months,
he had been a cashier-receiver
at the railroads ticket Office
here. His home is only a short
walk from the train station in
Baltimore. and he found COM

All apparently went well with
Ellis and his job until Friday
night. when another clerk left
four envelopes for Ellis to place
in a safe. Only three went in,
police said.
The theft was reported when
the safe was opened yesterday
morning. Detective Sergts. Mich
olas Beltrante. William Schillig
and David H. Gould questioned
20 railroad employees extensively
before one of them-Ellis-
finally confessed, and told them
where to find the money, police
said.
