Justice Gardner held, “is that under our decisions the question is too broad and does not embrace the ap propriate predicate.” Negroes Thrice Convicted Three times the Negroes have be n convicted by the lower courts since they were pulled from a fi ight train in the mountain town of Paint Rock in 1931 and charged with a massed criminal assault on Ruby Bates and Mrs- Price At their first trials both women hoboes described how nine Negroes threw their white men companions from the train and then in turn par ticipated in the attack Eight were convicted, th' Sup:*eme Court later ruling one of them was a juvenile. The International Labor De fense intervened and tha most bitter legal fight in the state’s history was on- New trials denied, the cases went to the Alabama Suprem'e Court, which conifrmed seven of the death sentences. The United States Supreme Court set th. seven death sentences aside on November 8, 1932, holding the Negroes had not had the benefit of proper counsel, and remanded the cases for retrial- The highest court did not go into the merits of the case- Last Spring Patterson was re tried, the jury convicted Patterson at his second trial and Judge Horton pronounced the death sentence April 9, only to set it aside on June 22, 1933, holding the evidence was in sufficient to warrant the verdict Shortly before the retrials, Ruby Bat. s disappeared from her home in Huntsville and a widespread search failed to reveal her Just before the defense rested in th j . Patterson case in April, 1933. Samuel S- Leibowitz of New York, chief of counsel /retained by the In ternational Labor Defense, asked for a brief recess, and at its conclusion Ruby Bates walked into the court room and repudiated her testimony in the original trials. Her appearance created a sensa tion- She said Dr- Harry Emerson Fosdick, pasta- of the fashionable Riverside Baptist Church in New York, had advised her to return to “tell the truth”"after she had gone to him with her story that Mrs Price had concocted the attack story to prevent arrest as a vagrant. A mild sensation was caused when the names of Negroes we»e found on the jury rolls- Leibowitz charged they were forgei-ies, and called a hand writing exp/rt, who testified they had been added to the list GRAND CHAPTER O.E.S.

Interior Department Office Urges Negroes Protest (Continued from Page 1) aims of the Rooevelt program and assured the delegates that there was a friendly administration In Washing ton. “I hope that your experience in the last year.” he said, “has enabled you to be assured of the p'esent governm nt’s inclusive and thought ful concern about your welfare. I hope that no shortcoming which you observed and against which you must necessarily protest, has been able to cause you to doubt that you were dealing with a friendly adminsistr tion. If there bj any among you who have this doubt for any reason whatsoever, I am glad to be in posi tion to give you forthright assu unco that you are today moving forward under a government which in its central pei-sonnel and prpgvam bears the welfare of the colored people in its heart and on its mind. “For this reason, I must say that I am here not merely to speak to you of th? program and to commend to its spirit but to call upon you for your fullest coopeiation as citizens “Wherever you see that these pro grams ar 1 operating inefficiently or hurtfully, I call upon you to let this be known to the responsible officers.” WHITE RAPS SEGREGA TION; CALLS FOR UNENDING WAR (Contnu d on Page 1) even in sections of the country where they realize it may take a long time to eradicate tne evil. But no matter how hai d the road or distant the goal must and will fight toward that objective with out let-up. Really in telligent white Americans will join in th ; fight. “Thera can and will be no solving of the race problem, nor even any ap ppi-eciable amelioration of it as long as this chasm of misunderstanding, of suspicions, of hostility, which se gregation perpetuates and increases, exists. Mr. White hailed the growth of liberalism on the race question in the south, declaring that young southern whites would be '’.replacing in a few years, the older generation which has battered on race hatred and bigoty. It is the duty of Negroes, especially in the south, he said, to increase the number of those whites who are above race prejudice. Formal announcement that the figh1 for th e passage of the anti-lvnching bill would be continued in the next congress and pressed without pause was mada by the N. A. A. C. P. executive as he cited eight lynchings of 1934, six of which he declared were staged afto? it became fairly clear that congress was going to side track the Costigan-Wagner bill. Citizens ware admonished to use their vote as weapons for justice, both in the cast of candidates in the fall election and on all issues affecting the welfare of the race- Mr. White urged all candidates be forced to mak known their stand on th? anti-lynchng bill. Delegates were urged to return to their home communities and kep alert on the workings of the NRA, the AAA, and the PWA and other New Deal devices. They were told first to get the facts on discrimina tion and then to protest morning noon and night to those in authority. Sounding a final fighting note in a speech whch bristled with a slashing attack on injustices inflicted upon Negroes, secretary White declared: “Only 4)y persistent, unyielding pro test will we br heard and answered. Negroes are learning this lesson at the urge of biter necessity and suf fering- Sines January 1, ninety-nine new branches of the N. A. A. C. P. have been organized or are in exist ence indicate the grim determination ef Negro and white Americans to wage an organized, rentenless and unceasing campaign for justice to Nc-gro Americans-’ Forty-five minutes of Mr. White’s address was broadcast without charge by station WKY, owned by the Daily Oklahoman. The meeting was held in the First Presbyterian church, white, and was addressed also by Congressman Oscar DePriest.
