DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA
Humphrey May
To Run Within
1 WASHINGTON, D.C.-AI
; though he is, not an official

; bert H. Humphrey is picking
; up Negro support throughout
' the country.
i It is believed that the Vice

| President will announce his
j candidacy for the Democratic
j Presidential nomination within
I a few days.
Humphrey's appeal to Ne-
I groes is based on his long-time
I involvement in civil rights.
One of the first Negro lea
ders to indicate his support of
the Vice President was Cla
rence Mitchell, who is the chief
Washington lobbyist for civil
rights legislation.
Mitchell, who is director,
Washington Bureau of the
NAACP, said in a letter to
President Johnson: "The wide
spread regret about your deci
sion not to run for re-election
weighs heavily on my heart as
I send you this letter. No other
President has had to confront
the enormous world and na
tional problems with which
I you must wrestle day and
night.
"If Providence does not di
-I rect that you change your
j mind, it is my earnest wish
| that the Convention will name
! Vice President Hubert Hum
! phrey to be your successor.
! Among all of the men now
! being mentioned, he alone has
j the long and dedicated per
sonal record of commitment
jXo the millions in our country
who are not always articulate,
' who seldom appear on our
television screens, who do not
| resort to violence and destruc
! tion but who, nevertheless,
share your devotion to the
i building of the future," Mit
chell wrote.

i man in the street" by the
Cleveland Call and Post con

would rather have Hubert

Asks Apology
From Mayor
CHICAGO —ln a telegram
April 18 to Mayor Richard J.
Daley, the National Association
for the Advancement of Color
ed People in Chicago demanded
that he make a public apology
for his remarks interpreted as
meaning "shoot-to-kill" rioters
and looters.
"Whether or not your re
marks were misinterpreted, we
of the NAACP believe you have
personally affronted and abased
the black citizens of America.
Remarks such as yours only
cause further disorder in an
already turbulent situation,"
Syd Finley, Quad-state field di
rector for the NAACP, told
the Mayor in his telegram.
In a press conference follow
ing dispatch of the wire, Mr,
Finley said: "The mayor's state
ment was irresponsible for a
public officials supposedly rep
resenting the people. Evidently
it came from his guts rather
than from his head. He should
get out on the streets like New
York's Mayor Lindsay."
