The police and the Senate In
ternal Security subcommittee, he
said, had been told of "the attempt
of Communists to discredit the
Black Nationalist after they were
unable to direct the Black Nation
alist program"
"They all dislike us because we
refuse to take orders from any
white people," Lawson declared.
His movement, he said, does not
believe in indignation but does be-
lieve in Justice and fair play for
black and white people alike"
William L. Patterson, spokesman
for the New York State Commun-
list party, said Lawson was "con-
sciously slandering the Communist
party" The party, he said, had no
part in the incident.
We would be the last force in
America" Patterson said, Ito at

DR.. King, president Of the South

headline was not matched by the
news found in the story.
The story stated that police de-
tailed to patrol the Fourth of July
picnic at North Commons Park
had been issued steel helmets and
gas masks for the occasion.
The story claimed without furn-
iShing any foundation, that the
police had received reports there
might be a large public gathering
in the near Northside by Negroes.
The next paragraph strangely
reported the fact that Inspector of
Police Raymond Peterson had
stated he had not heard of any
demonstrations planned by Negro
groups.
The story then described the
area served by North Commons
and predicted $4,000 persons would
attend the picnic.
Statements followed by North
side precinct Capt. Kenneth Moore
who added fuel to the story's
provocative tone by reporting
rumors he had heard.
There were also statements from
CORE and NAACP officials in
dicating that neither organization
had heard of any rumored meet
ings or rallies.
There was nothing in the entire
story except rumors which were
supposed to justified the treatment
and play given it. However the
news accounts aroused fears that
there would be racial trouble.
The story excited the whole COM
munity because IT'S tone and the
headline indicated that race trouble
was expected at the park.
AS a result there was tension
all over the city and number of
parents white and Negro who US
uaIly take their children to the
picnic each year were afraid to
attend the affair this year.
The TRIBUNE repeatedly re-
ceived a number Of telephone pro-
tests from irate readers who were
alarmed and angry over the story.
Meantime the thousands who at
tended the picnics including whites
and Negroes had a real good time,
and there wasn't a single racial
incident.
Picnic attendance however was
noticeably less than usual.

days ago to speak at Salem Meth
odist church.
Later the communists were
blamed for the attack.
A communist spokesman, how
ever, denounced the charge and
praised DR.. Kings efforts on be-
half of the Negroes as "heroic and
progressive"
Deputy Police Commissioner
Walter Arm said the police were
still investigating the incident.
Commissioner Arm declared that
any statement attributed to the
police that members of the Black
Muslin organization or their SYM
pathizers threw the eggs at the
Indignation leader was unauthor-
lied.
Policemen at the scene had de-
clared that the eggs were thrown
by Black Muslins or their SYM
pathizers.
Rev. Joshua o. Williams, pastor
of the Salem Methodist Church,
had said 1.-The only people to fight
DR.. King here would be Black
Muslims or African Nationalist"
James Lawson, president Of the
United African Nationalist Move
ment, asserted that 1.-THE police are

learned through reliable sources
that the Communists were respon-
sible for the disgraceful attack on
