* the Dixie state, de
clared here Sunday.
Speaking on the television
fehow, Washington News Confer
ence, Evers said the Justice
Department does not have e
nough black officials to aid
minority voters adequately and
"1 don't think J, Edgar Hoover
cares anything about Negroes...
That’s just the way he is.”
Declaring “I don’t trust the
FBI, (Federal Bureau of In
vestigation), Evers referred to
Hoover’s remarks calling the
late Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. a ‘notorious liar’ and his
own experiences with the FBI,
The FBI once told him they
knew who was trying to assassi
nate him in Natchez, Miss, but
said they could not do anything
until afterward, Evers recalled.
“And when my brother, Med
gar, was murdered in Mississ
ippi, FBI agents came to ask
me if I had anything to do with
it. So, you know I don’t care
anything for them,” he added,
Evers said changes had taken
place in Mississippi since his
brother’s death, “but we have
to keep on working and we’re
\>oing to win this governor’s
race/
The first black mayor of an
integrated city in the state and
gubernatorial candidate said he
was not invited to the recent
meeting of black political lead
ers in Chicago, “They left
me out of that...l’m just a poor
country boy from Mississippi,”
he told newsmen.

“I think the bond issue de

There are pros and cons to
the bond issue and I would like
to see all segments of the com

“I think the bond issue is the;

because the funds for sewage,

must be paid, either through the

then this will mean higher

“I am lii favor of the bond
