tion announced today they expected

mittee next week and refute charges
of alleged discrimination against ne
gro voters in that state made before
the committee by representatives of
the National Association for tho Ad
vancement of Colored People during
the hearing on congressional, reappor
tionment. "These complaints are new to us,"
Representatives Clark and Sears, de
clared in a statement, ''but we are
satisfied we will be able to show they
are untrue.' ' ,
"As far as the Ocoee matter. is con
cerned," the statement continued, "the
department of justice has exploded
the idea of Any thirty or more per
sons having been killed there and re
ported about five,' two of whom were
whites. - - ,
Referring ' to the charge that ne
groes had been depriyda voting in
Jacksonville the ' statement "said, 'ff
those matters complained of were so
why didn't some of the wealthy re
sponsible negr'oes of Jacksonville come
before the committee and make them
instead of some meddling negroes from
New York who are only interested in
keeping alive racial strife for thedi
own personal gain. v
"We have asked . the census com
mittee for. a copy of all the testimony
and the country can rest assured wc
will be able to show that Florida has
a clean 'record, and has been made
the subject of malicious slander hy
these New York negroes."
