Mutilated Bodies Spur
Federal Probe Request
Miss. Field Sec.
Seeks Help From
CI>ARKiSDALE, MISS. —
The discovery of two more
brutally murdered and mutilat-
thi* terror-ridden stronghold of
racists has prompted new calls
for federal investigations by the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People.
Dr. Aaron E. Henry, Mississi
ppi State NAACP president,
Tuesday, July 14, called upon
Attorney General Kennedy to
find out who Icilled Charles
Moore, 20, and Henry Decs, 21,
and cut their bodies in two. The
lower halves of both bodies were
lound in the Old River swamo
near Tallulah, La., Sunday enO
Monday July 12 and 13.
^he mutilated bodies were
discovered during the continu-
in* search for Michael Schwer-
ner, 24, and Andrew Goodman.
20,, both of New York, and
James Chaney, 22, of Meridian,
Miss., who disappeared near
Philadelphia, Miss., last June
22.
In another move, in Jackson
Charles Evers, NAACP fioUI
secretary, sent a letter to Missi
ssippi Governor Paul Johnson,
Monday, July 13, requesting j
that he call upon the state law- I
makers to enact special legi.sla- '
tion to guarantee the safety of |
Mississippi Negro cltizcn.s. Mr. j
Evets’ letter also asked for ar !
early meeting with the State 1
Executive to discuss the rising |
tide of anti-Negro violence. I
Since his brother was shot in I
the back by a sniper outside of ^
his home in Jackson, June 12, i
1963, Mr. Evers said 14 Negroes
have disappeared, been slain, or
have died mysteriously in rural I
Mississippi. j
■Dr. Henry said tliis fate *’“’j
befallen nine Negroes in the
Delta in the pa.st seven mon?To)
and in none of the cases have
arrests been made.
‘‘Most of these murders were
committed by local police offi
cers," Mr. Evers asserted. AT/o
pointing to the fact that no ar
rest has been made, the NAACP
field secretary questioned the
role of the FBI in Missi.ssippi.
He said, “The FBI hasn’t been
able to get enough evidence to
put anyone jail. Yoii really be
gin to wonder, ‘what good n'"
they? What are they doing
here?"
In a letter to FBI Director T
Edgar Hoover, also mailed Mon
day, Mr. Evers expressed ex
treme shock at a recent state
ment of law officer's in which
he is quoted as saying “lawless
ness in the South is no worse
than lawlessness in the North."
"We mu.st feel,*' declared Mr.
Evers, “that when the national
director of the FBI can make
statements such as this, the lu
natics who would deliberately
destroy human life or property
are encouraged."
Dr. Henry cited a half dozen
of the 14 cases to the WhiS?
House last March in an elTnrt

Anti-Defamation
League Compiles
Itemized Report
NEW YORK N. Y. — Federal
civil rights legislation gives
southern states a chance to
avoid tlie ruinous costs that de
fiance has meant in the past, ac
cording to a report, “The Price
We Pay,” last week.
The report, prepared by the
Anti-Defamation League of B’-
nai B'rith and tlie Southern Re
gional Council, documents the
vast cost incurred by the South’s
resistance to equal opportunity.
It itemizes thq, price for discri
mination in the economy of
southern communties, employ
ment, legal procedures, educa
tion, culture, and tourism. Ex
penses range from the $17 bil
lion loss in gross national pro
duct—estimatcias-tlie -cost, oi
discrinpination against Negroes,
to the $138,429 spent for police
overtime and equipment in
Jackson, Mississippi, from late
May through August 1963, to
combat demontrations.
Telling its story through news
items and editorials selected
from a large range of publica
tions, the report includes the
following as reason why the
South can no Jjbger afford dis
crimination:
— A failure, in recent years,
in some sections of the South,
to attract any large amount of
new industry.
— Young, educated Souther
ners leaving the area rather
than “put up with all this raci
al strife.”
— The “staggering” cost to
