10 involving officers attached TO
the Vernon precinct station and
a number Of Negro youths.
1T Is needless for Us to say
that we are disappointed at the
finding of both Prosecuting At
torney. Samuel II. Olsen and
Commissioner Hart that there
was no cause for action in re-
cards to the allegation of police
brutality in connection with the
arrest of youths involved in the
incident.
AS the matter now stands
from the viewpoint of the citi-
zcnS of the community, the
Mayors office. the Prosecuting
Attorneys office and the Com
missioner Of Police give us the
picture of being helpless IN COM
batting this serious problem.
"a crime has been committed
by persons unknown. Nonethe-
less. the crime remains as a
fsctvsl matter. Since the indi-
vidvsI officers cannot be iden-
titled. il becomes necessary 10
place an open charge OF brv-
tsIity against the Detroit Police
Department itself.
1T would follow that all Of
the policemen on duty at the
Vernon station at the time OF the
incident of alleged brutality
stand collectively guilty in this
matter. The commanding officer
of the Vernon station must bear
the full responsibility for the
conduct of policemen under his
command and therefore, should
be relieved of his duties because
OF either misfeaSancc, nonfcas-
ancc or malfeaSancc.
Specifically. two steps should
be taken Immediately by the
Commissioner of Police TO place
definite responsibility with one
person at each precinct station
TO be responsible for the treat
ment of prisoners brought to the
station.
Further, the Commissioner
Of Police, as soon as possible,
should make public an
novncement OF steps taken 70
prevent the reocevrrenee OF
similar treatment OF prisoners.
Finally, the community, in
the light of this incident. is CON
WINGED that police brutality has
been practiccd in the precinct
station in the past. was prac-
ticcd ON this occasion and unless
a positive action is taken to cor
rect this evil. IL will continue
to take place in the future.
MAY we hear from you re-
garding any further develop
ments in this matter at your
earliest convenience.
Very sincerely yours,

the board subsequently en-

il refused to re-instate any col
ored teachers despite their quail
ifications and experience.
The teachers whose contracts
had been terminated enlisted
the aid Of the NAACP and filed
suit in the United States Dis
trict Court "contending that
the refusal TO renew their con-
tracts was based upon discrim-
ination barred by the due pro-
cess and equal protection
clauses Of the Fourteenth
Amendment"
The case was tried on its
merits in August, 1856. Two
years later, ON Oct. 2, 1858. the
court upheld the Moberly school
board. This decision was appealed
10 the United States Court of
Appeals which on June II, 1859,
sustained the opinion and judg-
ment of the lower court.
COntending that the lower
courts ruling cannot be recon
ciled with previous decisions of
the Supreme Court and that the
case represents an issue of great
public Importance the petition
asks for a review of the lower
courts decisions and a hearing
of the case before the Supreme
Court.
