Contempt Case

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. Is = Be
cause he criticized a sentence ol
seven years in prison given to
man charged with agreeing to
the theft of SIS worth of chicken
feed, Medgar Evers, NAACP field
secretary for Mississippi, faces 80
DAYS in Jail and a fine of $100.
EverS is free on bond at present
and NAACP lawyers are working
on an appeal to a higher court.
The contempt conviction of the
NAACP official is tied to t n
strange case of Clyde Kennard. 6
young poultry farmer, former stu
dent at the University of Chicago
and an applicant for admission to
Mississippi Southern University.
When Kennard applied at the un,

When he drove away from h e
university's administration build
ing, Kennard was arrested for
RECKLESS driving" a n d officers
Gearched his car and found" il
legal whiskey. Kennard was jailed
on this charge.
Any Negro who applies to

marked man and, although nothing

time, as he went about his poultry
business, last spring he was again
hauled in by law officers.

KENNEDY DAWSON INCIDENT
DIVIDES OPINION SHARPLY

NEW YORK - In telephone
poll conducted by Vital Informa-
ton Press, New York syndicate
which services the Negro press ma
tionally, opinion was sharply divid-
ed as to the motives both of Sena-
tor Kennedy. in offering and Rep.
Dawson in rejecting the historic op-
portlnity for a Negro to hold cabi-
net status.
From Phoenix, Arizona, Repub-
ican Senator Barry Goldwater,
VIII O characterized Congressman
Dawson as '.qualified'' and h e
Kennedy offer as proper" admit
ted to suspicion" that Dawson,s
rejection was based ION the fact
that he would have had to face
the Post Office Senate Committee
sshich is headed by Senator john
stone of South Carolina. .
Harold c.. Burton, senior Negro
Republican leader in New York
State and District Leader of Har-
lem's 18th Assembly District, said.
''If the offer was made, it may
have been made with pre- ar
ranged understanding that Dawson
would reject" Burton added, Il
can't understand man of Daw-
sons political stature turning down
what is known to be the biggest
political patronage position in the
country"
Dodger star Jackie Robinson,
who figured prominently in t h e
Nixon campaign, said he felt that
had the Kennedy offer to Dawson
been sincere, the President Elect
would have named another quail
fled Negro.
"There are many Negroes bet
ter qualified than Dawson, Robin
son said from his Stamford, Con-
necticut home.
In variance to this position was
the attitude of famed civil rights

The General Hospital at Charles

that the Negro girl was a good ap-
plicant and they hired here, an d
"that was that

/ tant thing is that it was done,' DR..
King declared. DR.. King added that
Mr.. Dawson probably declined be-
cause he felt he could serve the
country better in his present posi-
tion. y
President and publisher John
Sengstacke of the CHICAGO DE-
FENDER newspaper chain, said
from Chicago that he didn't believe
the offer to Dawson would have
been made if it had not been sim
cere. Sengstacke added he felt
Senator Kennedy was carrying out
his campaign promise to name Ne
groes to vital positions.
New York Governor Nelson A,
Rockefeller who credited the Ken
nedy offer to Henry Cabot Lodges
campaign speech" lauded the Pres
ident Elects offer to Mr. Dawson
as a wonderful offer"
James Fitzpatrick, RICHMOND
TIMES-DISPATCH editor who E.
Gently debated the segregation i s.
sue with DR.. Martin Luther King
on a national television network,
told Vital Information Press that
he ''had no particular objection to
the offer" Fitzpatrick added that
''it was a strictly racial offer to re-
pay the colored vote.
Associate Editor of THE PITTS
BURGH COURIER, George Schuy-
Ter, said of the Dawson refusal: Il
don't know what was in his mind
in rejecting the job. 1t would have
been a great thing for the group
had he taken it. Maybe he feels he
is better off in the strong position
he now occupies"
In turning down the job heading
what President-Elect Kennedy has
called "the biggest business in the
world" Congressman Dawson was
passing up a department which
employs half million people and
which, last year, operated on a
budget of 3.8 billion dollars.
The Illinois Congressman is
known to be of failing health. Rum
ors had been rife nationally recent
ly that he would resign his post in
