To My Many Friends—
For the past six years I have been

j for the Southern District of Missis
sippi, tc turn over to the Grand jury
for Amite County, Mississippi, all of
the evidence gathered by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation into the
shooting of Isaac Simmons. It is,
of course, preferable that the local
grand jury should indict those reSpon

they can be appropriately punished
under the State laws. Under all
these cases it has been our policy not
to indict before the state acts- Under
Federal laws, the sentences for such
cases are entirely inappropriate, a
mounting in this case for Instance to
a maximum of three years
In the Simmons case, so far, there
is not sufficient evidence to permit
Federal prosecution.

It seems to me unfair and most un
fortunate that your editorial should
have suggested that the officials of
this Department hold Negroes in 'ab
solute contempt.’ During the fiscal
year 1944, the Department of Justice
fully investigated, under the Civil
Rights Statutes, 5’ complaints and
filed nine prosecutions. One of them
the Screws case, resulted in the con
viction of a Sheriff, a municipal po
liceman and a Special deputy, charg
ed with killing a Negro. This case
is now pending in the Supreme Court
and will test the whole program which
the Department for the past fiva
years has been developing.
Under the peonage statutes, during
the fiscal year 1943, five prosecut
ions were brought, and in 1944 eight
prosecutions; one of them was the
notorious Albert Sydney Johnson
case, in Arkansas, where the defend
ant was given a sentence totaling
two and one half years.
I know' of no other administration
where the rights of the Negroes have
been so aggressively defended and
prosecutions so vigorously brought.
As long as I am Attorney General
I shall See to it that the rights of
Negroes—in fact the rights of all
minority groups—are protected so
far as they can be protected under
the Federal laws

WILBERFORCE MEETS
ANOTHER STUMBLING BLOCK
Acfios and thrills were plentiful
on tlv> gridiron when Tuskegee and
Wilberforce locked during the play
ing of their 15th annual football
classc under the bright lights at Co
miskey Park, Friday night. The
Tuskegee Tigers toppled the hopes of
the Wilberforce Bulldogs with a 19
to 14 victory, in a game that was a
typical movie thriller. Another
stumbling block in the path of Wil
ber f arce’s bid for glory was this
Tuskegee tackier shows hitting a
Wilberforce ball carrier hard and
low. (PPNS).
I have given copies of this letter
to the press since the PM story has
received such wide attention in the
Negro press.
