TRIAL OF COLUMBIA
NEGROES BEGINS IN TENN.
LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn, Aug.
15th—In a prejudice ridden at
mosphere, the trial of 25 Negroes
indicted on charges of attempted
murder, when they reissted a how
ling police-led lynch mob in Col
umbia, Tenn. last February began
Tuesday in the two-story Law
renceburg Councy Courthouse.
Southern mob-rule tendencies
were quickly revealed to observers1
in the packed sourtroom from the
outset when NAACP attorneys de
fending the courageous Negroes
failed to win a single argument,
with the court ruling with the
state prosecution on every issue.,
The court has also consistently
refused to allow the defense to
argue the points of law they arej
attempting to press. They were •
only able to get these arguments
across n raising objections to the
adverse ruling of the court.
Z. Alexander Looby, Maurice j
Weaver and Leon A. Ransom, at
torneys for the defendants, imme-1
diately challenged the jury panel
on the ground of systematic ex
cluesion of Negroes from the jury.
Looby charged that in Tennesee.
it had long been the custom to
eliminate certain qualified Negroes
and, due to illegal manipulation of
the lists, the indicted Negroes
would not be granted a fair trial.
There were over 300 names on
the panel, 25 of whom had served
on the April or January panels.
Inquiries on its method of picking
the jurors was not permitted by
the court. Apparently realizing,
however, that it had made an er
ror. the names of those 25 were
stricken off. The names of 13 Ne
groes were on the original panel
and two more were later picked
up off the street as talesmen, ma
king a total of fifteen Negroes on
the present jury panel.
Weaver charged the placing of
a Negroes’ names oh the list was
not an honest gesture, that the Ne
groes on the list were hand-picked
and that the jury box was packed

against the defendants.
No evidence as to the method of
making up the array was allowed
by the court, aside from the man
ner in which the jurymen for the
present term, July, were picked.
This would seem to be borne out
testimony of District Atty.
Paul Bumpus, Atty. General for
11 years, who admitted that dur
ing that time, he had known only
ONE Negro that had actually
been called for jury duty.
The defendants were also de
nied the list of the names of the
jurors on the panel a reasonable
time before the hearing. They
were refused this right which is
theirs under Tennessee statutes
and not furnished the list until the
hearing itself.
Research Poll
Misleading
“Negroes are not receiving fair
treatment in the United States',
according to A. A. Liveright, ex
ecutive director of the American
Council on Race Relations, who
charged a recent opinion poll on
the subject had created a false im
pression of the true situation. The
charge was made before the So
ciety for Social Research meeting
at the Universitv of Chicago, on
Friday, August 9.
Addressing the meeting on ‘Pro
lems in Social Action’, Liveright
referred to the recent poll conduc
ted by the National Opinion Re
search Center in Denver. Colo., on
attitudes toward the treatment of
Negroes in the United States. Re
sults of the poll, published widely
(August 4) in the nation's press,
reported that 66 per cent of the
white Americans polled believed
that most Negroes are being treat
ed fairly. Liveright pointed out
the danger of publishing such fi
gures without due caution and in
terpretation, lies in the fact that
many persons reading the results
of the poll would mistake figures
published for actual facts.
“Public opinion polls, although a
valuable medium for determining
the temper of public opinion, are
frequently misleading unless care
fully framed and reported, Live
right declared.
In refuting the findings of the
NORC poll, Liveright quoted the
following facts:
On Employment: The final re
port m«ued bv the now-defunct
Fair Employment Practice Com
mrtee slated: “Studies made by
and for this committee since V-J
Day showr that the war time gains
of Negroes, Mexican American
and Jewish workers are being dis
sipated through an unchecked re
vival of discriminatory practices’.
This report stated in its conclu
sions: “The war veterans of these
minority groups today face greater
difficulties than other veterans in
obtaining training and finding
work’.
Military Service: Despite the
fact that a special committee was
appointed to review segregation in
the armed forces and to make re
commendations for a new policy,
the Negro does not even have an
equal share in the army as now
constituted.
Veterans’ rights: Despite the
fact that no GI legislation differ
entiates between whites and Ne
groes, reports conducted by the
Urban League, NAACP and the
ACRR show varying types of dis
crimination with respect to Negro
veterans.
Civil rights: No person who has
read newspapers for the past few
months can believe that Negroes
in the United States are securing
an equal break so far as civil
rights are concerned. Lynchings in
Columbia and Georgia and Free
port, Long Island and Monroe, Ga.
combined with the resurgence of
Ku Klux Klan activity, provide
vivid proof of the terroristic acti
vities being used to intimidate Ne
groes. Not all such cases are, how
ever, recorded. For example, the
fact that there have been 35 bomb
ings or burnings of Negroes who
have moved into homes in white
communities in the Chicago area,
has been singularly overlooked by
the white press.
As a corrective for the probable
injury to minority groups invol
ved in publication of a poll such
as that on opinion about Negroes
Liveright suggested that as a pu
blic service, and in accordance
with the responsibility of the free
press for providing facts, any such
polls should be accompanied by
at least as full, accurate and hon-;

i THE LAWLESS MOBS I
The dress rehearsal for the advent of American fascism was held

impressive thing, numbering over two thousand representative

being truly representative of die law and spirit of the community.
Athens, then, is an outlaw community, a lawless hole where the
spirit of American Libeity and Freedom was raped and hallered
with shameless exhibitionism.
Over one hundred Negroes were bruised and beaten up by the
cruel monsters who write of their superiority in the blood of the de
fenseless, and only two members of the mob were injured slightly.
The old and the crippled and the innocent young were kicked and
beaten, and herded from the streets like cattle. Reportedly, onl\
two shots were fired. This, then, is the new order, the new daring
of the southern mobster, who feels that the Negro is sufficiently in
timidated, so that he can be conquered by the sheer force of num
bers.
I
A mob rampant against the color of a man's skin is as great a
menace as is a pack of rabies infested dogs.
The law in Alabama is not dsigned to protect the life and prop
erty of Negro Americans. The Lederal Government is pussy-footing
ducking delicately around the sensitive nerves of the cracker killers,
while Americans are slaughtered.

Senator Tells How He
Bypassed Anti-Strike Rider
NEW YORK. CITY— (WDL)_ !
Senator Glen H. Taylor of Idaho
has told the Workers Defense Lea
gue just how he bypassed the Ball
Russell rider, under which govern
ment emplovees must sign affida
vits that they do not belong to
any organization recognizing the
right to strike.
In a letter to Rev. Aron S. Gil
martin, national WDL chairman,
who had congratulated him on his
opposition to the rider, Senator
Taylor explained: The financial
clerk revised the affidavit to con
form to the statute by inserting
the words ‘of government employ
ees' after the word ‘organization' I
I was advised by the Sheet Metal
Workers Union that with the affi
davit thus revised I could properly
sign it.
Senator Taylor had previously
refused to sign the affidavit on
grounds that the Sheet Meta)
Workers Union, to which he still
belongs, has never forfeited the
right to strike against the govern
ment. But the Sheet Metal Work
ers Union is not an organization
of government employees, and so

when the clerk revised the affi
davit to read ‘organiation of gov
ernment employees’ Senator Tay
lor signed.
His letter continued: "I was
happy to learn subsequently that
the precedent thus created was of
considerable assistance to the Kaii
way Brotherhoods with respect to
the employees of the Alaska Rail
way. The revision does not, of
course, change my opposition to
the Ball-Russel rider'.
In a previous letter to the WDL
Senator Taylor said he is convin
ced of the measure’s unconstitu
tionality and added it is indeed en
couraging to know that so many
people feel strongly on this issue.
