"DETROIT ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS DOUBLE"
"IN 10 YEARS RATE LEAPS FROM 4.4 TO 9.9
PERCENT OF ALL BIRTHS"
Detroit News, Sun., Dec. 8
Does it shock you to learn that one baby in 10 born
in Detroit is born out of wedlock? Does it shock you to
know that the birth rate of illegitimate births has more
lhan doubled in 10 years in Detroit? That one-fifth of al
infants born to Negro mothers in Detroit are born out o
wedlock? .
Detroit has no studies to show what happens to all ot
these unwanted children. Many of them undoubtedly, be
come the city's financial responsibilities. When the tax
payer has to assume the raising of a child tor whatever
reason it costs $17,000 to care for him from birth to the
age of 17.
Nationwide figures indicate th t a much smaller per
centage of Negro illegitimate infants do become pub ic
charges or are put out for adoption. While De.ioit as no
statistics on this, social workers agree it is true here a so.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has
cut short a self-imposed mora
torium on delivering racial pro-'
test in Atlanta, his hometown.;
In an address Monday to 2,500
Negroes, shivering under the im

and a brisk wind, Dr. King said:
“Something strange and sad has
happened to Atlanta.”

OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI: Five
Mississippi law officers charged

tice with seven counts of con
spiracy to deprive five Negroes
oi their civil rights, were set;
free here by a Federal jury
The five were accused of beat
ing five civil rights workers ar

ter they had entered a white
rest room at a bus station there.)
State highway patrolman John
L. Basinger, Montgomery County
Sheriff Earle Wayne Patridge,
and Winona Police Chief Thomas
J. Herod, Jr. All claimed they
were innocent of tlie seven char
ges brought against them by the
Justice Department.
The Justice Department cal
led six witnesses, including four

two FBI agents.
June Johnson, Euvester Simp

Lawrence Guyot, all testified)
that they had been beaten in the

Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer told

the climax of an afternoon dem
onstration, sponsored by a coa
lition of nine civil rights groups
in a downtown park.
Dr. King told the demonstra
tors:
“While boasting of its progress
and virtues, Atlanta has allowed
itself to fall behind almost every
southern city in progress toward
desegregation.
“It is as if the progress we
have made has become a tran
quilizing drug to lull us to sleep
and dull our sensitivity to the
continued existence of segrega
tion.”
Two city officials sat near Dr.
King. A few whites were among
the placard-waving crowd in the
park.
“Our city” said Dr. King, “Is
in danger of being inoculated
with such a mild form of de
mocracy that it will become im
mune to its genuine substance.”
“We must honestly say to At
lanta that time is running out.”
he warned. “If some concrete
changes lor good arc not made
soon, Negro leaders of Atlanta
will find it impossible to con
vince the masses of Negroes of
the good faith of the negotia
tions presently taking place.”

Leadership Conference, testified
that three of th e defendants
beat her in the Winona city jail
and the women. Guyot said
Sheriff Earl Patridge ordered
him to “get out of Winona and
on June 9. She said, “And I'm
not completely over it yet.”
James Harold West, a SNCC
worker, told the court he was
beaten by policemen and two
Negro prisoners who were or
dered to beat and kick him. He
said he was later forced by a
policeman to sign a statement
saying no beating took place.
Two Negroes who were in the
jail testified that they had been
“paid” for beating West.
Guyot, a SNCC field secretary,
told the all-white jury he was
“kicked, punched and beaten
with a slapjack” when he went
to Winona to post bond for West
stay gone” but he was stopped
by highwayman Basinger and
knocked down because he refus
ed to say “sir” to the officer.
Then, said Guy ot, he was
forced to disrobe and was beaten
in the sheriff's office before he
was jailed for “disturbing the
peace.”
FBI agents took the stand to
introduce photographs showing
injuries to the five. One agent
testified he had examined a
bloodstained shirt worn by Miss
Johnson while she was under ar
rest.
DAWSON, GEORGIA • A 33 j
year old woman barely missed
death here early Sunday, when
nightriders fired shots into her,
home and bombed her house ;
Mrs. Carolyn Daniels, a Daw-'
son beautician, recieved a bullet
wound in her left foot when
shots were fired at her home
late Saturday night. While she
was at a hospital - waiting foi
treatment for her injuries -a
bomb exploded in her home,
"making it a total wreck.”
Mrs. Daniels has set up citi
zenship schools in Dawson t o
give potential voters instructions
in Georgia’s voting test.
Terrell County received na
tional attention on July 25. 19152
when county sheriff E. T. Mat
thews and 12 armed, cigar smo
king white men broke into a
voter meeting in a Sasser church.
Matthews told newsmen at that
meeting, “We are a little fed lip
with this voter registration bus
iness. We want our colored peo
ple to go on living like they have
for the past 100 years."
Mrs. Daniel's home has been
fired on before. On September
6, 1902 night riders shot into
her home, wounding SNCC wor
kers Jack Chatfield, Prathia Hall
and Chris Allen. On September
5, two churches both used for
voter registration meetings were
burned to the ground. On Sep
tember 17 another church was
bombed. On September 3. Sas
ser deputy sheriff D. E. Short
ran three SNCC workers—Ralph
Allen, Prathia llall and Willie
Paul Uerrien out of town at
gunpoint. Short was later sued
by the U S. justice Dep’t but was
acquitted.
In Atlanta, the Student Non
violent Coordinating Committee
asked President Lyndon ii John
son to "act immediately to halt
bombings aimed at intimidating
voter registration workers in
Southeast Georgia." The SNCC
protests from Chairman John
Lewis quoted President John F.
Kennedy's remarks after Mrs.
Daniels' home was fired upon a
year ago, and two girls were shot
in Mississippi.
The late President then said:
“To shoot.. two young people
who were involved in an etlort to
register people, to burn churches
as a reprisal. 1 consider bo t h
cowardly as well as outrageous."
In Albany. Slater King, president
of the Albany Movement also
protested the bombing and shoot
ing to President Johnson. King
said "the shooting and bombing
will be repeated unless strong
presidential action is taken
As of 19bO, only 51 Negroes
were registered voters in Ter
roll County. Out of 4.533 whites.
2,894 were registered. The first
lawsuit filed by the Justice
Dept under the 1957 Civil Rights
Act was filed here. Terrell Coun
ty officials were charged with
systematic discrimination and
were enjoined from further acts
of discrimination.
SUPREME COURT TO
HEAR PICKET CASE
WASHINGTON The US.
Supreme Court this week pant
ed a petition asking the Court
to decide whether peaceful pick
eting to advance legitimate group
interests is constitutionally pro
tected.
The appeal is of a decision
of the Florida District Court of
Appeals which upheld a lower
court ruling that although peace
ful picketing by labor unions is
upheld by the Constitution, this
same proteetion docs not extend
to racial groups.
In December, 196 0, Webb s
City, a variety store chain was
picketed. Pickets carried signs
reading “Don’t Buy Where You
Aren’t Welcome.”
The demonstrators marched in
orderly fashion at all times and
did not attempt to block en
trance to the store. The picket
ing was in protest of the store’s
refusal to serve Negroes in the
cafeteria.
Webb’s City obtained an in
junction prohibiting the demon
stration on the grounds that the
picketing was harming their busi
ness and was illegal. The Florida
courts upheld the injunction.
