Dr. Martin L. King Calls For
Federal Justice In Mississippi
8 Beaters of
Children Freed
By White Jury
ATLANTA, Ga.—Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., president of
the Southern Christian Lead
ership Conference, this week
issued the following statement:
"When grown men are per
mitted to beat children in pub
lic, and to get away with it,
the result is not only a travesty
of justice, but also a license
for wanton brutality.
"The acquittal this week of
eight white men in the case
nf the beating, chasing, and in
timidation of Negro school
children at Grenada, Mississip
pi. last fall defies rational ex
planation.
"The whole world witnessed
or heard of these barbarous
acts, which were condoned by
hold the law. Now an all-white
iury adds its approval of this
monumental inhumanity. Now
we are asked to believe that
it just wasn't so. In effect, we
are told that the reign of terror
against Negroes in Mississippi
enjoys the protection of the
law.
"The system of justice in
Mississippi has long since ab
dicated its responsiblitios , and
the present case involving Gre
nada only underscores the ur
gent need for effective federal
action and legislation for an
honorable jury system in all
courts of the nation and vigo
rous federal enforcement of all
civil rights. If the Congress is
truly concerned about lawless
ness, it should immediately

WASHINGTON President
Johnson tapped Solicitor Gen
eral Thurgood Marshall June
13 to fill the vacancy on the
U.S. Supreme Court caused by
the n-etirement of Justice Tom
C. Clark who wound up 18
years of service as a member
of the nation's highest tribunal.
The appointment of Marshall
came a day after the close of
the court's term on June 12
and was the second Supreme
Court appointment of the John
son administration.
Announcement of the ap
pointment was made at noon in
the White House Rose Garden.
The President escorted Mar
shall to the place for a meet
ing with the press where he
told those members present the
appointment of Marshall was
"the right thing, the right time,
the right man, and the right
place."
It was evident to all present
that in naming Marshall to the
post the President and other
high government officials had
taken into consideration the
appointee's long year's of ex
perience in the struggle for
social justice through th e
courts.
Prior to his appointment to
the federal bench and to the
office of Solicitor General
Marshall had served as general
counsel for the NAACP and the
Legal Defense Fund. In that
office he was the winner again
and again of civil rights cases,
foremost of which was that of
the 1954 school segregation
case.
As praise of the President's
appointment poured in from
over the nation there was quiet
on the front of the Deep South.
Marshall is the first of his
race ever to be named to the
U.S. Supreme Court and it is
predicted that because of his
years of legal experience, espe
cially in the field of civil
rights, he will add strength to
the liberal wing of the highest
court of the nation.

A&T Professor Awarded Grant
For Research in Cigarette Smoke
GREENSBORO A professor
at A. and T. College has been
'awarded a grant, $56,576, by
the Council for Tobacco Re
search-USA, to conduct a re
search project over a period
of the next three years.
Announcement of receipt of
the grant was made this week
by Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, presi
dent of the college. Director of
the project is Dr. Naiter M
Chopra, professor of chemistry,
who joined the A. and T. facul
ty in 1965.
The study is entitled "The
Degradation of DDT, TDE and
Dieldrin in the Cigarette Main
stream and Side - stream
Smokes."
According to Dr. Chopra, the
study aims to determine the
breakdown products of pesti
cides, commonly used by tobac
co producers, and how they
may be affecting the health of
those who smoke.
The professor said that since
tobacco is neither a food nor
a drug there is CP . limit. to
which a pesticide may be pres
ent in cigarette smoke. Recent
ly Germany has imposed limi
tations on the amount of pesti
cides which may be present in
tobacco smoke, and it is likely
that the USA will follow suit.
The research study will be
gin this summer.

versity in Lahore, India, (now
in Pakistan), Dr. Chopra re
