Mr.. Louis Erwin: (Mr. Erwin
stated he represented Christ Tenn
pie Church. He stated some years
ago there was a bus driver who
was guilty of molesting young
girls in this area He stated his
daughter was molested and moth
ing was done by the Police De-
partment- He stated that, at the
time Of the incident he went to the
area and discovered who the driver
was and he obtained the license
number. He further stated the man
was picked up, identified and after
"a few hurried discussions the
man was released"
(The second incident related by
Mr.. Erwin was that he was stop
ped by a police officer for going
through a red semaphore. The
arresting officer looked at his
drivers license and addressed me
by my first name" He stated that
this was an indication of police
officers feelings for Negroes in
this area. The judge, according to
Mr.. Erwin reprimanded the officer
in open court.)
CThe third incident involved a
young woman who came to his
home in tears regarding an alter
cation at her home and upon re-
porting the incident to the police
was informed by zone Of the high
est ranking officers-what more
can you expect when you marry a
nigger.")
I believe the Chief tipped his
own hand when he said "foreign"
in regard to people In this COM
munity.
(Mr. Erwin stated in the course
Of his job he goes in and out of
white neighborhoods and further
II an officer stops him because he
is foreign to a neighborhood he
stated he win demand to be ar
rested.
Chief PrOetz: CChief Proetz
with deep regret, and only after
comforting with the Chairman
Leonard Carter, stated that he
was only trying to be tactful but
that now he must come out and
clarity his true meaning. He stated
that white women were challenged
in the neighborhood because Of the
high incidence Of prostitution in the
neighborhood.)
