Miurunts Held For Murders
'Contented Southern
Negro" Myth Destroyed

"A sense of urgency" was termed
the most important new element IN
the race relations picture here and
abroad by the National Urban
Leagues associate director, Alexander
]. Allen, in an address last week be-
fore the 22nd biennial Convention OF
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
of America at Miami, Florida.
Tension and pressure for change
are evident in South Africa, in the
American South and in virtually
every northern industrial CENTER" MIR.
Allen said. Few of these preSSureS
are new," he noted, most of them
have been building up for hundred
years or MORE" However, more and
more people want to see it happen
here and now."
1T is no longer enough to mouth
phrases. Today we are all being chal-
lenged to achieve in actual practice
the principles which have been on
paper since the Founding Fathers
signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence."
Mr.. Allen attributed the new sense
of urgency in part to competition OF
the cold war and also to the revolu-
tionary Improvements in mass COM
munication-the radio, televiSion, and
the daily press which, he said, pro
vide for the almost instantaneous
transmission of ideas and permit the
old and young of every land to dream
dreams and see visions. Finally, the
Leagues associate director noted, this
new urgency reflects a greater sensitl-
witty to inequities based upon race.
Young people particularly are idealiS-
tic enough to take our national slogans
seriously"
Turning to sit-ins of Negro college
students in the South, Mr.. Allen said

Federal Aid To
Reqisfer Negroes

MEMPHIS us. Department
of Justice has been asked by the
NAACP here ito take immediate ac-
ton to provide federal registrars SO
that all eligible Negroes who desire
may register to vote in this Haywood
county without delay"
The complaint was filed on May 2o
as was a similar one with the us.
Civil Rights Commission.
D. S. Cunningham, president of the
Memphis NAACP branch, cited three
forms of discrimination against Hay
wood County Negroes who have
started registering for the first time
since Reconstruction. Investigation, he
said, showed that, Negroes entering
the courthouse in Brownsville, Tenn,
at this time, do so at risk of intimi-
dation and potential bodily harm.
Negroes were required to stand in
racially segregated lines; whereas
white people were registered upon
arrival, even though many Negroes
had spent hours awaiting their turn to
register.
Registration procedure in this dis
trict is designed to be SO slow that it
is utterly impossible for Negroes to
register in any large numbers. Contin-
uation of this slow pace means that
less than so Negroes can register to
vote in this district for the next cleo
ton
Next elections will be held August
4. Deadline for registration is July S.
