voting, education, housing and
employment.)
In the Justice Report, the
Commission surveyed three sub
jects: police brutality and re-
lated private violence; the en-
forcement of the Civil Rights
Acts; and exclusion Of persons
from juries for racial reasons.
Although the Commission con-
cluded that most policemen and
public officials follow the rules
Of fair play and constitutional
ty, it termed police brutality
by some state and local offici-
ais "a serious and continuing
problem in many parts of the
United States" The Commits
sion found deprivations of con-
stitutional rights through police
connivance in private violence.
1t also concluded that racial
exclusion from jury service is
a persistent problem in certain
areas in the south.
The Commission called upon
Congress to enact a Apart leg
islative program aimed at pre-
venting a deterring invasions
of constitutional rights:
a program of grants-in-aid
to assist state and local govern
ments to bolster the profession
al quality of their police forces.
amendment of existing Fed
eral criminal law to remove
some of the legal difficulties
which now hamper Federal pro-
secution in police brutality
cases.
amendment of existing Fed
eral civil remedies to render
local governments liable for
the misconduct of police offic-
ers.
a grant of authority to the
Attorney General to seek in
functions against the exclusion
of persons from jury service for
racial reasons.
All four recommendations were
unanimous.
Jackson advocate., 1961-11-25

In its concluding section to
the whole report, the Commits
sion found that despite "sub-
stantial progress" there were
still barriers to the achievement
of equal opportunity. Finding

In it's Indian study, the Com
mission reported some evidence
of discrimination against Am
erican Indians in the admins
tration of justice, housing, en-
ployment, public welfare and,
in some instances, education. 1t
found that by a large Indians
are free to register and vote
without restriction. The Com
mission also noted a number
of Indian problems outside it's
jurisdiction, e. G. "home rule"
on reservations, concern about
the loss of tribal lands, fear
that the Federal Government
may end its trusteeship, and
the need for economic develop
ment. Because of the limited
scope of the Commissions in
vestigation, it did not make
specific recommendations. 1t did
indicate, however, that most of
the recommendations made else
where in the report would, if
adopted, serve Indians as well
as others.
In the Justice Report, the
Commission found that Federal
criminal and civil statutes had
not provided effective redress
against violence. It attributed
the lack of successful suits (6
in recent 21A year period) to
problems of proof inherent in
police brutality cases and legal
weaknesses in the Civil Rights
Acts. In addition, the Report
said certain policies of the De-
partment of Justice, notably
the requirements Of signed COM
plants and the withholding of
investigation in Difference to
State authorities, also hampers
criminal prosecutions.
State court remedies, the
Commission found, are potent
tally more effective because
subject to fewer restrictions,
but are infrequently used. Cit
ing programs undertaken by
the Chicago and Atlanta police
departments and the F. B. l. the

cation, housing, employment
and the administration of JUS
tice interrelated, it said that
Ano single limited approach
will bring an end to discrimina-
ton" Thus, the Commission
called for a variety of Federal
remedies and summarized the
recommendations in it's s.
volume report as involving ()
new laws to enforce the Con-
stitution, (2) the Withholding
Of public money from discrim-
inatory activities and its use to
encourage equal opportunity,
and (3) the exertion of leader
ship by the President and 9TH
ers.
The new recommendation
dealt with the leadership, call
ing upon the President to uti-
lie his Influence and the pres
tige Of his office in support of
equal protection of the laws"
by reiterating his support of
the Supreme Courts desegre-
CATION decisions, stimulating the
exercise of the right to vote,
and explained to the Ameri-
can people the legal and moral
issues involved in critical situa-
tions when they arise ="
While noting that its respon-
sibility was only to make recon-
mendations to the Federal Gov
ernment, the Commission sug-
gested that there was similar
need for leadership by local
governments, private organiza-
tions and individuals. In his
separate statement, Father Hes
burgh expanded this theme, say
ing the problem "needs the
conviction of every American,
of every walk of life, in every
corner of America"
Personally" Father Hes
burgh wrote, 81 don't care if
the United States gets the first
man on the moon if, while this
is happening on a crash basis,
we dawdle along here on our
corner of the earth, nursing our
prejudices, flouting our magni-
ficent Constitution, ignoring the
central moral problem of
our times, and appearing hy-
pocrites to all the world"

So far 16 Communist, leftist, and
neutralist nations have extended
recognition to Mr.. Gizenga.
Besides the four African states,
they included the Soviet Union,
Communist China, East Germany,
Yugoslavia, North Wet Nam, Out
er Mongolia, Indonesia, Cuba, Ro-
mania, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria,
and Poland.
The pro-Gizenga meeting was
called for this weekend at Accra
in Ghana.
In Lagos, Nigeria, the Belgian
and American embassies were at
tackled by thousands of angry Nj
gerians in protest against the slay-
ing of Patrice Lumumba.
The attacks turned into gen.
eral antiwhite rioting after po-
lice with tear gas frustrated re-
peated efforts to deposit a symbol
ic black coffin at the gate of the
United States Embassy. The Unit
ed States is blamed for Congo
events in the propaganda cast
role of "imperialist" and for sup
porting United Nations Congo pol
icies.
Cars driven by whites were
overturned by demonstrators and
dozens of whites were mauled, spat
upon, and stoned.
Nigerians said antiwhite feeling
among the demonstrators was the
bitterest ever known in Lagos,
where Africans generally are cor
dial to non-Nigerians. They ex-
planned that Mr.. Lumumbas slay-
ing had generated wave of anti
white feeling largely because At
ricans believed the Belgians were
behind Mr.. Lumumba's death.
In Brussels, a crowd of about
800 Belgian students attacked the
United Arab Republic Embassy
Thursday and smashed all its win
dows.
The attack was in retaliation for
a similar onslaught against the
Belgian Embassy in Cairo We'd
nesday by a mob that set the
building afire in protest against
the killing of Mr.. Lumumba.
In further developments, Presi-
dent Sekou Toure of Guinea, in a
joint communique with Soviet
President Brezhnev, declared thai
the pro-Lumumba regime headed
by Antoine Gizenga at Stanley
vile is "the only lawful govern
ment" of the Congo. Tass news
agency said.
The communique, summing up q
visit by Mr.. Brezhnev to Guinea,
in West Africa, declared the kill
ing of Patrice Lumumba was the
responsibility of Belgium, it's al
lies, and Secretary General D G
Hammarskjold, and that "imper-
ialist aggression" against the
Congo, is a serious danger to the
independence of Guinea.

"Jail-going is a creative way of
dramatizing the Negroes indigni-
ties and injustices," Rev. King
said. at is not just publicity for
publicity's sake" Calling the roll
of history's great periods, DR.. King
asserted that he could think of no
time more in which he would rather
have lived than the present and no
community of fellowship he would
prefer to that of the students and
ministers now imprisoned in the
Fulton County Jail because they
"went to Jail willingly rather than
submit to an unjust law"
Stating that just laws should be
obeyed by all; unjust laws by none,
the SCLC leader cited New Orleans
and the doctrines of notification
and interposition as examples of
anarchy. He disavowed the aims
of Muslims and other "Black Su-
premacists," saying that "Black
Supremacy is not Gods design"
The aim of the non-violent move
ment, he declared, is mot to defeat
the white man, but to win his
friendship and understanding"
He defined an unjust law as one
which % degrades human per-
sonality, (2) stands in the way of
God, and 90 is enforced as a code
upon the minority by the majority,
which does not enforce it upon
itself.
Rev. Samuel Williams, president
of the Atlanta Branch NAACP,
told of visiting the students in jail
and told of those who were so
determined that not even illness
and discomfort could turn them
from their purpose. "They are will
ing to stay not for days, or weeks,
or months, but for as long as it
will take to erase the evil of seq
regation," he said. He described

Veterans News

@. | am a widow of World War
II veteran who died early this year,
but am ineligible for death pension
this year because insurance pro-
ceeds puts my annual income this
year above the $4,000, the ceiling
set by law in determining eligi-
bility for pension for widow with
dependents. Is it true, as I've been
told, that my two small children
may be eligible?
A.. Yes, they may. If there is
no widow, or if the widow is in
eligible, minor children of the vet
eran are eligible, if the child's an
pUal income does not exceed $1,000,
not counting his own earnings. One
child will receive $35 month;
each additional child adds SIS a
month. An unmarried child is elig-
ible until IS, or until 81, if in an
approved school.
Q. My discharge from wartime
military service was under honor
able conditions, but later / served
another period of active duty and
received a dishonorable discharge.
Could be admitted to VA hos
pital?
A. The second discharge would
not bar you from VA hospitaliza-
ton. Under the circumstances,
you still retain your eligibility for
medical benefits which you gained
through war service. But you cam
