Mrs. L. M. Harvey, a 1849
graduate of North Carolina Col
lege at Durham, and wife of L.
M. Harvey, serving with the
armed srevices in Korean, was
another victim of cop brutality,
which seems to be running a-
muck throughout the state, Sep
tember 20.
According to Defense Attor
ney reports, Mrs. Harvey, with
her sister, drove their car to
town. She was about to make a
right turn at an Interaection
when a policeman came over to
her ^ and accused her ef
blocking traffic. She explained
that a pedestrian always has the
ri^t of way. An argument be
tween the two followed as the of-
flcer ordered her to puH over to
the side and give him the keys
to the'car, which she refused to
do.
As the argument cont,inued, a
highway patrolman cairie up and
joined in the fracas. They told
the defendant that they were
taking h«' to JaO.
A bystander who is a friend
the rj»m^
asked the ottcers if he might
drive the car to the station, since
the disagreement seemed to cen
ter around that fact. The officers
agreed and Bin. Harvey gave
him the keys.
Upon reaching the station,
Mrs. Harvey got out of the car
and started in, but the two of
ficers grabbed her by both arms
and began pulling her along de
spite her insistence on being un
assisted.
As she entered the door one of
the officers kicked her twice
with his knees and a third one
grabbed her back of the neck.

The Hon. Orland Kay Arm

from ‘the Sixth Congressional
District of Missouri, speaiu here
at noon Monday in North Caro
lina College’s Duke Auditorium.
Rep. Armstrong's speech,
“What the Republicans Stand
For,” is a part of the presenta
tion of the non-partisan fonun
committee's series at NCC. The
speech is open to the public.
On Oct. 6, Rep. WiUiam L.
Dawson (D. Ill), flayed the GOP
as the “party of reaction bent
on raising taxes among the na
tion’s small wage earners.”
Dawson said the Democrats
would “continue to emphasize
human rights over property
rights.” The Illinois lawmaker’s
speech was entitled "What the

It ia conservatively eatimated
that Seevnson will roceive about
09 per ecnt of the Negro vote in
North Carolina, and in addition
to the 75,000 or more registered
for the 19411 election, that tile
number will pass 100,000 by the
time of the election Nov. 4.
Strenuous efforts are being
made through state brancliea
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
the pudpit, the Negro press
other agencies, to give the Ill
inois Governor the largest Negro
vote any candidate has ever re
ceived for president in this state.
The forthright stand taken
by Stevenson on the Civil Rights
issue in iiis recent southern tour
is t>elieved to have precipitated
keener interest in the nilnoia
Governor's candidacy and given
great Impetus to the registration
efforts of Negro leaders through
out the state.
The cry all over North Caro
lina is reported to be, every Ne
gro man and woman must reg
ister and vote.
