DR.. King Asks Probe
or Apparent Lynching'

MONTGOMERY. Ala, April
Is (APl.--A spokesman for
Southern Negroes appealed to
the Federal government and
the Mississippi Governor today
for a thorough investigation
into what he said was an "ap-
parent lynching" Of q Negro at
Poplarville, Miss.
DR.. Martin Luther King. jr.,
president OF the Southern
Christian Leadership Confer
ence, sent almost identical tele-
grams TO United States Attor-
ney General William Rogers
and Gov, j. p. Coleman.
His telegram noted that
Mack Charles Parker, a 23-year-
old Negro. was taken from jail
by a hooded group Of men who
wore gloves to avoid finger
prints.
"A trail Of blood from the
jail to the street curb is al
legedly all the evidence Of what
might have happened to Park
err the kilograms said. Neither
he nor his body has been
found"
This apparent lynching
shockingly demonstrates again
the all to frequent failure of
southern law officers to pro-
vide equal protection Of law
for Negroes in their custody.
Although Parker was charged
with rape, no jailer was on
duty last night. 1t is unthink-

When Berra protested a ball
called on a pitch to Gene

Duren got the same treatment
a moment later.
Il had warned Berra about
his complaints on balls and
strikes earlier and had told him
I wouldn't have any more of
it," Summers said. when he
hollered on that one, I told
him he was through.
"Duren rushed up and called
me a name, and I told him 1
couldn't take that and that he
was done"
Asked if he thought the
charging Durer was going to
hit him, the pudgy umpire said:
If he had, he'd have been
hit back"
Summers said his written re-
port to Joe Cronin. league
president, would quote the
language that Duren used
