In an interview 10 days ago

discussed threats on his life.
The previous night q Molotov
cocktail had been hurled onto
the carport at his modest frame
home in North jackson. It failed
to explode.
Mr.. Evers. 81, was shot and

Mr.. Evers had many reasons
for battling for racial equality.
He remembered walking To

1t was their second march
on the towns courthouse and

15-year-olds, who had beer
arrested several times for par

tons. were adjudged to be
delinquent Monday and sent to
State training schools for an
indeterminate period.
White Crowd Watches
A crowd Of white persons, also
orderly and well-behaved. stood
on the sidewalk and listened in
silence to them.
When the demonstrators
started to regroup to return to
the Negro residential area. the
white people stepped aside to
clear a path for them and their
march away from the court
house was without incident.
Shortly after 10 pm, q lesser
number Of demonstrators re-
turned to the courthouse to sing
and pray again. This time, a
group Of white youths tried to
taunt them by singing "Ole
Black joe" When the Negroes
left, the boys followed them
down Race street toward the
colored section. Suddenly some
one threw q rock through a
window Of O laundry at the
intersection Of Race and Elm
streets, which Is not far from
the Negro district, and immedi-
ately thereafter one Of the
Negroes was knocked down and
kicked.

At 'Borbority' Of Staying

Department that its full in
vestigatory machinery has been
placed at the disposal Of the
jackson police in an effort to
uncover the assassin"
Attorney General Kennedy in
an earlier statement said he was
"Saddened and shocked"
I'VE have asked the FBI to
offer its full cooperation and
services to the jackson police
department, and it is already
doing So" he added in q state
ment. II think all Of US share
in the hope that those respon-
sible for this crime will be
found and prosecuted"
In Congress, there were nu-
merous expressions Of shock.
Senator Hart, Democrat of
Michigan, called the Staying of
the Negro leader "lynching
without the rope"
This mans only crime was
attempting to get the rights
for his people which had been
promised them a hundred years
ago." Senator Hart said.
Legislation Seen Vital
Senator Morton, Republican
of Kentucky. and others said
the killing increased the ur-
gency for congressional enact
ment Of civil rights legislation,
Chairman Celler Of the House
Judiciary Committee said the
Evers case and other violence
related to racial tension make
1t imperative that Congress
enact a strong civil rights bill,
