Civil Rights
Continued from Page One

York, Roy Wilkins, Executive Sec
rotary of the NAACP, and Rev.
Martin Luther King, leader of the
Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boy
colt, and the chief advocate of the
sitdown demonstrations. Rev. King
and A. Phillip Randolph were here
to lead a demonstration for Civil
Rights in a march around the
convention hall.
The Party Platform with its
strong civil rights plan was
adopted as written Tuesday night,
but not until delegates, including
Governors from the south had
voiced strong objections, asserted
that nine southern states not in
cludnig Texas would not accept the
civil rights plank. The states named
were Alabama, Louisiana, Florida,
Georgia, North and South Caro-
lima, and Arkansas.
The Platform adopted the con-
vention Wednesday moves into the
matter of the selection of it's can
didates for President and Vice
President of the United States, but
stopped long enough following the
adoption of the platform Tuesday
night to unanimously adopt reso-
luton calling upon former Presi-
dent Harry Truman to come and
address the Convention.
In the matter of the selection of
candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States
there was vast amount Of cred
ence supporting the possibility that
Senator John Kennedy will be
nominated for President on an
early ballot when the balloting gets
underway Wednesday night. How
ever there was much talk about
movement toward Adlai Stevenson
which might develop in the case
of prolonged balloting.
Other candidates who were still
considered in the race Tuesday
night are Senator Lyndon Johnson
of Texas, Sen. Stuart Symington
of Missouri who has the support
of former President Truman.
1t is certain that the nation will
know the Democratic Party candi-
dates for President and Vice Presi-
dent before the end of the week.

Haiti Official
Acquitted Of
Murder Charge

Port-au-Prince, Haiti. - Andre
Toussiant, former First Secretary
of the Haitian Embassy in Wash
ington, D. c., was acquitted last
week of murder in the killing Of
the embassy's minister counselor
Samuel Deviux. M. Toussant, a
former coast guard officer who
shot M. Deviux to death in the
embassy office April IA, 1858, was
freed after a two day trial. The

brought in on the second day to
hold back hundreds of persons
who were trying to crowd into the
Palace of Justice.

Sessions dismissed the indictment
as faulty. The Appellate Divi-
sion reinstated the indictment in
April, and Mr.. Jack was brought
to trial before Judge Joseph A.
Sarafite in the Court of General
Sessions early last month.
Mr.. Jack first suspended him.
self in January, resumed his office
in March when the indictment was
dismissed, and then suspended him
self again in April when it was
reinstated. 25
Mr.. Baker said The Borough
President had been forced to sus-
pend himself by pressure from
the press, radio and television
whereas other public officials
against whom charges had been
lodged had continued to perform
their official duties and receive
their salaries. sd
He referred to the case of Kings
County Judges Samuel S. Leibo-
WITT and Nathan R. Sobel, who
were allowed to remain on the
bench while charges against them
were heard by the Court on the
Judiciary in Albany. The charges
were not criminal charges, as in
the Jack case, but could have re-
suited in their removal from Of
flee. r.
The Court on the judiciary
sharply reprimanded the two
judges Friday for abusing their
office in publicly quarreling over
the conduct of a murder trial in
1858, but it did not remove them
from office. ~

He declined to elaborate on this
statment but left the impression
that he was hoping for a dis
missal of the Indictment.
District Attorney Frank S. Ho-
gain said Friday he had not de
cided whether to seek a new trial
which, he added, could nto be held
before fall in any event. He re-
ferred to Governor Rockefeller
questions as to possible removal
proceedings if Mr.. Jack resumed
offices at this time. Only the
Governor has power to remove a
Borough President.
Mr.. Jack and his attorney held
a press conference yesteday after

Broadway. They first conferred
elsewhere and arrived at the law

can Labor Council and is the only
Negro member of the executive
committee of the AFL-CIO, rep
resenting the porters union, must
answer a suit filed in u. S. Dis
trict Court by 100 members of
the union for an injunction against
the union and the New York Cen
trail in putting into effect a SEN
iority agreement based on age
rather than length of service
Papers on the suit were filed
June % by Herbert Itkin, attor-
ney for the disgruntled members
of the union. Representing t h z
Brotherhood will be the firm of
Delson, Gordon and Levine and
attorneys for the railroad.
The basis of contention is a con-
tract negotiated by Randolph and
the railroad on July 1, 1858, in
which the seniority of the men is
now to be based on the chronology
cal age of the men and not on the
years of continuous service on the
job.
The men behind the suit claim
that the contract takes away jobs
from men and "bases them purely
on the age of the employees, so
that men with 81 years of service
will be furloughed while men with
ID years of service will be work
ing" ">.
Randolph, president of the Bro
therhood had the following to say
about the suit:
"These younger men felt that
they suffered a loss of jobs. The
position they take is simply I'M
sound.
81 sympathize with them, but
no arrangement could have been
made where some of the young
er men would not have been hurt"

Mr.. Jacks fate was submitted to

Mr.. Jack was smiling broadly
as he opened the door and greeted
the assembled reporters, photog-
raphers and office staff with:
Hello, ladies and gentlemen, how
are your"
T'm sorry to have to bring you
out like this on a Saturday after
noon," he added, and laughed
loudly. His happy demeanor was
in marked contrast to the solemn.
disconsolate appearance he pre-
sented throughout the trial until
the final day, when it became ap-
parent that he was not going to
be found guilty.
After a brief talk behind closed
doors, the Borough President and
the lawyer entered another room.
sat side by side behind a desk
and held their press conference.
Mr.. Jack first read a prepared
as IOllOWS.
Ladies and gentlemen of the
press: You have made incessant
inquiries in respect to my plans
affecting the office of President
of the Borough of Manhattan. I
have concluded that for the i'm
mediate present l am remaining in
status quo-meaning that my self
imposed suspension remains in
force"
Mr.. Jack refused to amplify
this statement. He would not
say how long he would remain
suspended, whether he would re-
sign, or what he felt about the
chances of a new trial. To every
question he replied: "My state
ment stands"
Now Living On Savings
However, he answered a few
questions about his personal af-
fairs. Asked how he managed
to get along without his city sal
airy of $4,000 a year, he said
that he was living on his savings
and that his bank balance would
show how depleted they were.
He has been Borough President
since Jan. 1, 1854, and testimony
at the trial showed his wife had
accumulated $4,000 in cash early
in 1858 out of 500 a week he had
given her for "table money"
"Have you any other source of
income he was asked.
"No," he replied.
Mr.. Baker interposed: "Mr Jack
has never been a high liver, and
he is trying to hold on"
Asked about his plans for the
summer, the Borough President
answered: "I'll be around"
"Any vacation trip"
"I'll be around" he repeated.
at takes money for a vacation"
put in Mr.. Baker, who is serving
as the Borough Presidents at
torney without fee.
Mr.. Baker observed that the
District Attorney could mol pros
the Indictment, in effect dismiss
ing the charges, by entering a dec
laration in the court record that
he did not intend to proceed with
the prosecution.
He said it would be unfair for
the prosecutor to hold the indict-
ment indefinitely over Mr.. Jacks
head. However, he asserted it
had been unfair to bring Mr.. Jack
to trial as quickly as the District
Attorney had acted

the Negro press believe that he
has been Indifferent to the whole
civil rights program.
There have been reports that
once the Democratic National
Convention is over, Senator Ken
nedy, if nominated, will set up
a committee of prominent Negroes
to advise him on racial affairs.
That committee would be headed
by the Rev. Martin Luther King
Jr., Negro Indignation leader.
However, this report has not
been verified. At his news con-

Mr.. Jones, the leader of the
Harlem's United Democratic Lead
ership team, is one of the areas
most powerful political leaders and
is a close ally of Representative
Adam Clayton Powell Jr., a Dem
ocrat.
Mr.. Powell had said that of the
Democratic Presidential hopefuls
he favors Senator. Stuart Syming-
ton of Missouri. But he said he
probably would support Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas be-
cause he did not believe Mr.. Sym
ington could be nominated.
He has said that he does not
like Senator Kennedy for being
"soft on McCarthyism" and fol
his civil rights record.
