CelIer Expresses Doubt
Cramer in Exchange

When Mr.. Cramer declared
that he was not "antagonistic, "
Chairman Celler indicated that
he also had some doubt that
the Federal Government could
act effectively merely by pro
viding Federal marshals in
every nook and Granny of a
State"
Mr.. Mitchell explained he
was not proposing such a move.
He said he opposed Federal
usurpation Of State laws but
favored a wide range Of legis-
lation that would enable the
Federal Government to safe
guard lives as well as other
rights of Negroes.
AS for the possibility of sit
in demonstrations at the Capt.
toll. Mr.. Mitchell told the sub
committee he would not con-
slider such operations any
more unlawful or destructive of
the image Of Congress that to
have some members of Congress
filibuster a civil rights bill to
death"

piled to a questioner, that the

with any Negro who has par

But. he added. it would not
meet with these leaders while

reSs.
The mayor said the city al
ready has accomplished deseg-
regation in all municipal facil-
tiles under the city managers
control. In revising its city code
two years ago, he said, all seq
.regation ordinances delibef-
ately were removed. All white"
and "colored" signs were re-
moved from drinking fountains
and restrooms IN City Hall.
Asked about public schools,
which are completely segre-
gated, Mayor StinSon replied
that they are under control Of
the school board, and not the
City Council. (Ten Negroes
have applied for admission to
white schools next fall. The
applications are pending before
the State Pupil Placement
Board.)

yesterday, was to have ap-
peared with DR.. Henry today
as a witness at House Judiciary
Subcommittee hearings on civil
rights legislation.
DIR. Henry, a Clarksdale,
Miss, druggist, read a long
list Of threats. harassments
and illegal acts to which he
said he and other Negroes in
Mississippi were subjected dur
ing the last two years.
He said he reported all those
cases to the Justice Depart
ment's Civil Rights Division at
the time, but was notified only
that they were being investi-
gated. Committee Chairman
Celler, Democrat Of New York,
announced that the subcom-
mittee would ask the Justice
Department for complete infor-
nation as to what it has done.
Celler Takes Issue
Mr.. Celler, advocate of far
reaching civil rights legislation,
took issue with two other House
members on specific procedures
that should be followed in
some instances.
He told Representative Diggs,
Democrat Of Michigan, that
any move by Negro groups to
stage sit-ins at the Capitol or
in the offices of Southern
members of Congress should be
discouraged. He said such
tactics might cause deep re-
sentiment and hinder Negroes
in the legitimate demands for
civil rights.
THE 20 million Negroes in
this country must be reckoned
with" Mr.. Celler declared at
the start of today's hearing.
They have power. We white
leaders must not let the 20
million Negroes be led by dema-
gogues, fanatics and extremists.
That power must be nodded
and led by men of reason,
not men of rancor, and Cen
gress must help supply the
formal of leadership with
strong progressive laws"
DR.. Henry urged Congress to
enact legislation covering civil
rights aspects such as law en-
forcement in the courts, en-
ployment, education, voting
rights, and human dignity.
Refers to Own Experience
Speaking calmly, DR.. Henry
continued "In listing these
problems in that order it.

held Just before or after Mr..
Evers' funeral. The funeral is
expected to be tomorrow or
Saturday.
At a rally attended by about
TOO last night, Negro leaders
sought to cool tempers. Sew
eral speakers urged the Negroes
not to retaliate with violence.
I'VE cannot win with vio-
lence," said the Rev. A. L. john
son. For Gods sake and the
sake Of the movement, let's not
resort to violence"
The Rev. G. r. Haughton de-
clared that Mr.. Evers' death
must not be in vain"
I'VE are asking every Negro
citizen, and whites who are
willing to. to go into mourn
ing for at least a month";" Mr..
Haughton said. He asked every
one to wear a black armband
or a piece Of black cloth.
Pushes Boycott
Let's not 60 shopping for
a month";" he said, calling for
a strengthening Of the Negro
boycott of downtown stores.
Its asinine and stupid to
walk in q place and spend our
money where we're not
wanted" said the Rev. s. L.
Whitney. Wear rags, get in
sack cloth and ashes and do
1t now and keep it up If it
takes IL months or 100
months"
Mr.. Whitney said that life
means more than scratching
out any existence in a system
that hates your very appear
ance."
The speakers hammered at
the theme that Mr.. Evers did
not die in vain.
NAACP Statement
IF he could speak to us, he
would say to carry on. He
would say to close ranks and

c. Patton, NAACP leader who

til victory is ours. until we have
won full freedom, his struggle,
his tragic death will be in vain,"
said Mr.. Patton.
Freedom does not come
without the shedding of blood"
said Mr.. Whitney. I'VE will
march until this Nation recog-
nizes that it can't silence free
dom by killing an individual"
The Mississippi State office
Of the NAACP issued a state
ment saying that "the vicious
ness which drove a deranged
murderer to assassinate (Mr.
Evers) is but a tangible dem
onstration that the white COM
munity of Jackson. Miss, will
go to any length to maintain
a dead system"
1T is an indictment upon
the moral fiber of this COM
munity." the statement contin-
ued, that upon the heels of

have any chance of success
fully defending ourselves when
we are charged by the local
officials and are tried in the
local courts. Neither do we
have any defense against police
actions directed toward us out
side the courtroom"
Cramer in Exchange
The otherwise unspectacular
session was enlivened at one
point by a sharp exchange be-
tween Representative Craner,
Republican Of Florida, and
Clarence Mitchell, NAACP d.
rector here.
When Mr.. Mitchell suggested
that Congress provide for more
Federal moves in States to dis
courage threatened as well as
actual mistreatment Of Me-
groes, Mr.. Cramer wanted to
know specifically what the
Federal Government could le-
gally do to prevent "deplorable"
tragedies such as the murder
of Mr.. Evers.
I'VE are grateful for all the
deploring," Mr.. Mitchell re-
pied. But what we need is
more protection and less de-
ploring."
The NAACP official said he
doubted that the Florida Con-
gresham intended to vote for
a civil rights bill. He said he
also suspected that some ques-
tons asked at committee hear
ings such as this were not de-
signed Ito get answers but
rather to set up smoke screens. :"

opment program that the Sen
ate will pass a similar bill in
a modified form which the
House might accept.
The outcome yesterday was
the first major setback suf-
fered by the administration in
the House this year. 1t caused
the bills sponsors to warn that
the Area Redevelopment
Agency established under a
1861 enactment can accept no
more applications for grants
and loans for job-making in
dustries in areas of acute eco
nomic distress.
They noted that the $3.50
million appropriated by Con-
gress two years ago will be
exhausted within a few months.
The rejected bill would have
continued ARA two more years.
Yet, while disappointing to
Democratic legislative leaders,
the defeat was not a complete
surprise. Speaker Mccormack
and Majority Leader Albert had
predicted as recently as yes
terday noon that the vote
would be extremely close.
Because Of doubts about get
ting 1t through the House
they did not schedule 1t
for consideration until more
than two weeks after It
squeaked through the Rules
Committee, 7-6.
What really beat the bill In
yesterdays voting was the OPP
position Of four Pennsylvania
members who supported the
original measure two years ago.
Against the bill we're l52 Re-
publicans and 81 Democrats.
while l89 Democrats and only
Is Republicans supported 1t
The 1861 vote was 25i-l67 TO
set up the program. At that
time, the affirmative total IN
cluded more Republicans,
mainly from economically hard
hit districts.
All Virginia Democrats and
Republicans voted against the
bill yesterday. All Maryland
members except Republican

for II.

tic coalition bad not held to-
gether very we'll this year. But

restaurant admitted seven
youngsters, but they were re-

Seven youngsters were ar

s. N. Shaip swore out warrants
after they refused his request
to leave. The young people
blocked the front entrance to
the restaurant by sitting and
lying on the sidewalk at the
door.
AZ Choice of Rides
Police gave the demonstra-
tors a choice of walking to
police cruisers for the trip to
the jail or being carried bodily
to a truck and hauled there
on Army-type canvas stretch
ers. The three girls chose to
ride in the police cruisers,
while four boys refused to get
UP and were carried away.
One other arrest was made
by police at the Howard john
son Restaurant ON a warrant
sworn out by the manager, w.
L. Turner.
The man arrested there was
