"The Freedom Riders went to McCbmb to test tfie city’s com beating him as he struck the pavement. The group reached safety by taking a taxi to a Negro hotei. Five minutes after the mob violence. Chief of Police Geroge Guy and Patrolman Edward Smith arrived from City Hall, pliance with a Federal Court’s: less than a block from the ter- directlv)e to halt the enforce ment of segregation at bus and rail terminals. According to Jerome Smith, Chairman pf New Orleans CORE, and leader of. the group, which included: George ,Ray- mond, Thomas Valbritint, ibora- tha Smith, and Alide Thompson •grr attempt to enter the termin- al earlier that day was unsuc cessful. The station agent report ed a gas leak in the building. The group was warned when they approached the door that it would be dangerous to enter. At 3:00 p.m. Smith returned to the station with the group. An elderly white man in a gray felt hat and work-stained clothes blocked the way and sought to persuade them not to enter. But he stepped aside and the five CORE members filed into the joint waiting room and cafe. No policemen were in sight. The streets were filled with white toughs crossing and re-crossing i eoUege minal. They cleared the streets and sidewalks with little trou ble. James Farmer, National ector of CORE^* urged General Robert Kennedy- to take positive st^ps of action to pre vent mdb violence against Americans exercising their con- stituttonal rights.

He told each Freedom Rider; "Greyhound does not own this building; Greyhound does not own this restaurant. You get out of here.” At his point a tough grabbed a half-filled cup of coffee from a table and walked rapidly down the line of the counter. When he reached Raymond, he struck him sharply at the base of the skull with the cup and saucer, spilling coffee over Raymond’s head and back. . Smith then told the four Others to join him in a row of seats at the front of the wait ing room. As they got up to move, a short, wiry white man of about 35 jumped at the lead er and began beating him with his fists. "I’ll kill him! I’ll kill him!,” yelled the white. About a dozen white toughs joined in pummeling the group. They pushed them around and over counters and tables in the waiting room of the terminal before kicking them through the door.
