Savings Account
Looted of $100,M0
By Chicago trip
By the Associated Negro Press
CHICAGO—Three Negroes, In-
cluding a husband and wife team
employed by the city, were arrested
here last week on charges of having
looted the savings accounta of a re-
tired white executive to the tune of
$100,000.
The three are Bunch A. Wallace,
43-year-old Bureau of Sanitation
chauffeur; his wife, Buth, 41, Junior
legal investigator for the corporation
counsel's office, snd Miss Katie llol-
loway, 37, described as the key per
son in the scheme.
Miss llolloway served aa nurse-
housekeeper for the victims of the
scheme, Wilmcr, Jr., and Mrs. Loretta
Montgomery.
Montgomery, 73, la a retired treas-
urer of the Dowst Manufacturing
company, a local toy-making firm.
The arrest of the trio resulted from
their being spotted together in a Loop
stors last May 16 by members of the
police confidence game aquad. One
of the officers spied a large amount of
cash in one of the women's purse.
As the police approached, the three
fled, out were quickly captured.
In their possession, the trio had
$0,000 in cash, which they offered to
police to forget the Incident How-
ever, a further search disclosed that
Wallace had two savings withdrawal
slips—from the Bell Savings aad
Loan assoclstion—that were blank ex-
cept for a signature "W. J. Montgom-

WASHINGTON—A youth banquet

week was the ecene of an attempt to
stir up a rscisl confliot. The attempt
was engineered by a so-called Ameri-
can Nasi, Robert A. Lloyd II, 20, who
gave hie address aa that of the head-
quarters of George Lincoln Rockwell's
American Nazi party in Arlington,
Va.
When the banquet got under way,

delayed a scheduled flight to Berlin
to hoar the NAACP lenders' plea.
It was also the third day in which
no word had been received concerning
the fate and whereabouts of three
youthful civil rights workers who
had disappeared near Philadelphia,
Miss,, after being released from a Phil-
adelphia policy station >\here they
had been held for nn alleged minor
traffic violation.
It was their dixuppearance laxt
Sunday night, June 21, which prompt-
ed the unscheduled march.
Prior to the march's beginning,
NAACP officisls, headed by Hoy Wil-
kins, NAACP executive secretary,
were closeted with the attorney gen-
eral for more than an hour during
which, according to Wilkins, "we ask-
ed for everything."
But at a hastily arranged news
conference held in the corridors of the
justice depirtniint ju- r outside the
attorney gener.i door, it was appar-
ent that the attorney general—whose
sympathy was not que>tioned—offered
little help.
He repealed department policy as
enunciated file week before by justice
attorney John Doar who said mar-
shals or federal men could not be pro-
vided for ptOtcction before a federal
law was broken.
Wilkins, wL » had ' nuked for every-
thing" and teceived nothing, appeared
somewhat chagrined in relating the
results of his conversations with the
attorney general, and implied that Ne-
groes will find other means to pro-
tect themselves in the South if they
could not count on the federal gov-
ernment's help.

25 States Have Equal Job
Laws-But None ia Soath
By the Associated Negro Pftss
WASHINGTON—By actual count, 25 tUtM in the Union have
Uwi in force which prohibit discrimination in employ-
ment—but all of these states are situated either in the East,
Mid-West or the West. Not one of them ii in the South.
While they vary widely in effectiveness, ifcaa* laws benefit
approximately 41 per oent of the Negro t/opillation in the
United States.
The civil rlghta Mil Till fill the
void presented by the lack of such
provision in southern states.
Aa it stands, the provisions of the
federal civil rights measure would
not, ia ail eases, impose stricter reg-
ulstions in those statea having laws

en enforcement by providing suto-
matlc recourse to federal courts, snd
would csuse states not having non-
discrimination regulations to change

Husband Survives
Shooting, Dies on
Witness Stand
By the Associated Negro Press
DENVER, Colo.—A Denver man,
who had survived four-bullet wounds
inflicted early this year by his wife,
died here last week in court as
he was testifying against the wo-
man.
*'Can you tell the court what hap-
pened about o'clock the night of
Jan. 1, 1004?" Deputy Dist. At-
ty. Harry Titcombe, Jr., asked El-
lison McCoy, 32.
"It wasn't U p. m.," McCoy, seated
in the witness chair, began. "It
was 8 to 8 :30—"
Mc Coy gasped, his face contorted.
The dying man's right hand clenched
as his arm flailed toward his face.
Dist. Judge Edward J. Keating re-
cessed court aa Detective Carl J. Mai-
piede and Deputy Sheriff Sgt. John
Duffy assisted McCoy from the
stand.
McCoy's rfght leg kicked spas-
modically as the twor law officers
laid him on the courtroom floor.
"I think he's gone," Duffy remark-
ed quietly as an ambulance was
called.
A medical examiner pronounced
McCoy dead a few minutes later.
Both McCoy's wife, Mrs. Romie
Lee McCoy, 2fi. and the woman with
whom police said he had been liviug.
also present at the trial, broke into
loud wails.
The future disposition of the case
against Mrs. McCoy is now uncertain.
Judge Keating declared a mistrial.
"If it can be shown that this
(McCoy's) death had anything to
do with the shooting, we will charge
her with murder," Titcombe said.
However, Dr. George I. Ogura.
Denver pathologist, reported that
preliminary tests indicated McCoy
died of natural causes.

mitted shooting her husband twice
in the chest, once in the abdomen and
once in the thigh outside the home

Ia Tax Case
I. C. Collins, widely-known San Antonio mortician and fraft^
nalist, owner of Collins Funeral home, pleaded guilty, Thurs-
day, June 25, in United States district court, to income tax
evasion. Sentence has not been pronounced.
On April 15, a federal grand jury in El Paso indicted Col-
lins on two counts of income tax evasion -for the years 1967
and 1958.
Collins was charged with having re-
ported a taxable income, for those
two years, of $0,712, whereas it bad
been $20,750.
Collins, according to an Internal
Revenue service statement, reported
his taxable income to be $.*»,015 in
lf>57, whereas it was $14,048. He re-
ported his 1058 taxable income to be
$2,767, whereas IRS reported it to
be $11,802.
Because of these understatements of
iucome, Collins failed to pay $.",475 in
incom« taxes due.
Collins will be required to pay all
unpaid income taxes with penalties
and interest, and could be fined a§
high as $20,000, and sentenced to as
much as 10 years in prison.

Mississippi Clings to "VeiRgr-iVerer Land-9 Role

For the Associated .S'egro Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi
but week continued to live
strong indication that It Intends
to remain a "Never-Never land"
in an America which Is trying to
move forward la the mala slreaa
of racial progress.
Mississippi ilotsn't seem to bo
alarmed over tlio lacrcaalog num-
ber of racki lynoMuxs, imirdws,
bombing and abdni-tieus within
Its boi'dcre. Hut it Is (.'iilie alnrui*

flected by its top officials and
polit|ci*na anma to bo 'leavo us
aloo« with our segregation, and
wo will not comply with tho
eowrts and federal government on
airy integration order.'
This backward view was re-
flected In tho attitude of Ita po-
litical leaders, last week, aa tbo
national spotlight waa focused on
■ho search for three civil rlghta
workers, • Negro and two white
youths, mysteriously missing aft-
er they had gone to the town of
Philadelphia, Miss., to Investigate
a Negro church bombing, and
were taken Into custody then re-
leased "after dark."
Tho three unfortunate young
men, whose burned oat station
wagon waa found outside Phila-
delphia. are James Cheney, 22, n
Negro from Meridian, Miss.; An-
drew Goodman. 30, of New York
City, and Michael Sehwerner, 24,
of Brooklyn, both wihte. They
were Integrated In the station
wagon, a fact which may have
angered the town's chiefs.
Anyway, Cheney was arrested
for driving at what coniedU-B
Dick Gregory said waa the "im-
possible rate of speed" of in miles
Gregory made an on-the-spot
check in Philadelphia after tho
youths disappearance.
Goodman and Sehwerner were
held for Investigation In connec-
tion with tho church bombing. All
three were released some sis hours
after they were taken into custody
and a depot) aheriff was supposed
to have aeeoaapanled them out of
town. No one else has laid eyes
on the yea ths since.
But ena after the President of
tho I nlted States, who must of
nervosity bo the most informed
in lho worid, hecaine
enough to dispatch an
to Mississippi to dis-
the Situation and to order
sailors to search for the miss-
Ing youths, Mississippi lawmakers
were showing vastly more ron-
cern for the criticism that has
been leveled at the state than
for the fate of the most rrcent
of Mississippi's long list of miss-
ing iiersssm.
One Mississippi congressman
even had the gall to ask why
there was such a fuss over the
missing youths, who were part
of a voter registration "Summer
Project" for Negroes.
Then there were what ap-
peared to be evasive and cover-up
statements by Mississippi arch
segregationists—Sen. James Kast-
lanri and Gov. Paul Johnson, the
same Johnson of the I'nlverslty
of MissisMppI Infamy, in trying
to defend the so-called "good
name" of the state in Its relations
with its poor. Jim Crowed Ne-
gro rltliens. both pronounced the
word Negro as "Nigra," with em-
phasis, on a network television
program.
Eastland said the Negro people
in Mississippi are satisfied with
their menial role in Its life, and
that the whole trouble Is caused
by outsiders stirring up trouble.
Rut the record shows that all
these so-called troublemakers have
done is try to help the state',
Negroes enjoy some of the simple
rights Eastland and other whites
already enjoy. Voting In electlona
Is one of these.
Neither does Eastland's state-
ment square with the long record
of racial atrocities, lynchings and
murder of Negroes that have gone
unsolved. Almost constantly, raw
and subtlt violence is used against
