nedy by the board of SCEF at its
semi-annual meeting last month
in Ilapeville, Ga. The board urged
the President to send marshals
into Missi.ssippi to protect inte-
grationists, augmented by federal
troops if necessary.
“I-’or years civil rights leaders
have called for elementary pro-
toction for pe.r.sons in the south ^
seeking freedom, but have mot i
with very little success,’’ Shuttles-
worlh declared.
“We are rapidly approaching the
wor.st in Mississippi and Alabama
and the shocked conscience of the
nation cannot atone for the lack
of courage, vigor and zest in pre
venting such crimes.”
Dr. James A. Dombrowski, exe
cutive'director of SCEF, acting in
behalf of the board, and Shuttles
worth sent telegrams to Johnson
and Kennedy reminding them of
the request by the board for pro
tection. in Mississippi.
