Talks With Tenn.
Sharecroppers
Sees Efforts To
Exploit Situation

Washington, D. C. Jan. 9 -
Alice Dunnigan, easily the ma
tion's top Negro Woman news
paper correspondent who is ac-
credited to both the Senate and
House Press galleries has return
ed from visit to Somerville, Ten
nessee where she talked with Ne
gro sharecroppers on whose be-
half suits are pending in federal
courts charging eviction by their
white landlords.
The following is what MRS.
Dunnigan has to say about the
situation:
There is no minimizing the fact
that the situation in Fayette coun-
ty, Tennessee is desperate. Many
people are being made to suffer,
and many people are going to bat
for their rights, but those who
move into a situation for the pur-
pose of exploiting it should be
exposed. This is the opinion of
those familiar with the whole
story.
Interviews in the area reveal
that Scott Franklin is one such
person. A news dispatch coming
from Somerville quoted Franklin
as saying that an oil company
took up his gasoline pump about
the same time that McFerren's
fuel supply was stopped.
The reelase further stated that
nationwide protest forced the oil
companies to supply McFerren
again, but Franklin is still de-
prived."
This writer learned from a re-
liable source that Franklin never
had a gasoline station. "The old,
battered, weed covered gasoline
pump in the yard of his home could
never be called a service station
by the widest stretch of the i'm
agination", said a recent visitor.
The gasoline which he bought
was for use in his own truck
