by an adviaory group mnde up of
MlaHiiotippiana, aome of whom were
themselves attacked, at a serin* of
hearinga in the atate.
Citing attacka made upon Negro
citisena and member* of the adviaory
group, the commission's report aaid
in part:
"Citisena of the United States
have been ahot, *et upon by vicioua
doga, beaten and otherwise terror-
ised bemuse they sought to vote.
Since October (1JKF2), atudent* have
been fireil upon, minister* have hern
aaaaulted and the home of the vice
chairman of the State Adviaory eom-
mittee to thia commission ha* been

"Another niem'oer and hi* wife
were jailed on trumped up chargea
after their home had been defiled.
Even children, at the brink of stnrva*
tion, have been deprived of a**i*tance
by the cnlloua and diacriminatory
aeta of Mississippi official* admin-
iatering federal funds."
TTie report called thia "affronta"
to the "conacience of the nation."

of Negroea, were cut off by offlciala

Meanwhile, the Disiecrat cli<iua
congre**. headed by *uch arch aagfit
gationi*t* aa Ea*tland and Hen. Sten-
nia of Mis*i**ippi; John Sparkman of
Alabama; Sam Ervin of North Caro-
lina; A. Willia Rol»ertw»n of Vir-
ginia. and Congressman William Col-
mer of Mianiaaippi, generally ignored
the findinga of the commiaaion and
unlooaed vigoroua attacka on the per-
sonnel of the commiaaion. They claim-
ed the report waa politically moti-
vated.
But Sen. Paul Douglaa of lllinoi*
and Sen. Philip A. Hart of Michigan
among the Pemocrat*. agreed with
the commission that the federal gov-
ernment should not continue to dole
out vast sums to help subsidise segre-
gation and diacrimination in Missi*-
aippi. Douglaa and Hart also aup-
ported the commission authority to
make the recommendationa.
Republican* aupporting the re<-om-
mendationa include Sena. Kenneth B.
Keating and Jacob K. Javit*. both of
New York, and Thomaa II. Kuchel of
California, who ia the GOP whip
and acting leader.
All of the senators urged apecific
action either on the part of the Preal-
dent, by congress or by federal agea-
clef.
Hart atated hia poeitioa both m
the Senate floor and lajer at a preaa
conference. At the conference he
vealed he is preparing leglalation that
would cut off federal funda for any
atate guilty of racial aggregation and
discrimination and of disobeying the
United Htatea Conatltutlon and fed-
eral courts.
Haid Hart:
"Federal revenues are collected from
all dtisena. Certainly, they ahouldn't
go to the aupport of any inatitutiona
that would alam their doors in the
face of aome of the contributors (Ne-
groes)." He added: "It ia ridiculous
for the federal government to use its
troops, attorneya and courta to fight
diacrimination while it la simultan-
eous supplying much of the money
to support these discriminatory sets."
Hart atated openmindedly that his
own state had beeu ruled Ineligible
by the health and education depart-
ment for aid to dependent children of
the unemployed (who are mostly Ne-
gro children) because its program was
directed at certain classes of unem-
ployed only. Race waa not involved.
But in Mississippi, Hart pointed
out. Negro ritizena are kept out of
institutions financed by the federal
treasury and yet the atate continuea
to receive large appropriation*.
Keating called on the President to
issue an executive order requiring all
federal agencies to insist on non-
di*eriminntion whenever federnl funds
are involved.
He was supported on this stand by
Kuchel, who pointed out that former
President Dwight I). Eisenhower had
acted on past recommendations of the
commission or requested congress to
enact necessary legislation.
Javit* disclosed that he lias asked
each federal agency to halt any funds
for Mississippi. He *aid there are
many precedent* for baiting funds to
state and local agencies failing to
comply with federal laws or the Con-
stitution.
The commission report said "mas-
sive assistance to the economy of
Mississippi has continued past the
time when the stnte placed itself in
•jrjet defiance of the Constitution

nt take the followiug actions:
1. Request sll peraona in Mi**ia-
aippi to Join in protecting the rights
of I'aited States citizens, snd . . .
direct them to comply with the Con-

rank!:;? Negro policeman on the force,
was transferred to the Prairie avenue
station. The Prairie avenue atation
ia alao located on the densely Negro-
populated south aide.
The transfer of Capt. Blueitt
brought S strong protest from the
Baptist Ministers conference of Chi-
cago and vicinity. The conference
voiced its proteat in s resolution
adopted and forwarded to Police Bupt.
Orlando W. Wilson asking him to re-
tsin Cspt. Blueitt at the Wabash
station.
One of the significant changes in
the reshuffle of police executives wa*
the demotion of Chief of Detectives
Maurice K. Begner, who was In
chsrge of the probe into Lewi*'
murder. Begner was transferred out
of the detective divi*ion and given
command sf • police district.
He was replaced by a de[»uty de-
tective chief, Otto B. Kreuaer. One
of Kreuser'a first moves was to or-
der a "total reappraisal" of pre-
vious efforts by the detective division
to find Lewi*' slayers. It Is ex|>ected
that persons previously questioned
and cleared. Including some police-
men. would be Interrogated anew
about the Feb. 27 slsying of the al-
derman.
Lt. (Jriffin. who has been investi-
gating burglary since 11HK>. will work
closely with Chief Kreuxer.
Supt. Wilson said the shake-up
was designed "to improve the key
leadership of the detective division
and is no reflection on the Integrity
or efficiency of the men Involved."
Ilis statement was viewed aa an in-
direct expression of confidence in
firiffin to add new spark to the de-
tective bureau.
Despite Wilson's statement, ob-
server* close to the situation noted
that the police shake-up came quickly
on the heel* of the close of an un-
precedented separate Investigation or-
dered by Mayor Richard Daley Into
the murder.
Daley said, "When an alderman
liw»c* his life, It Is necessary to use
all the forces possible to Investigate
and apprehend the slayer." The mur-
der. said Daley, has given th* city a
black eye.
However, Daley refused to confirm
that bis investigation bad anything
to do with the ahake-gpt But he aaid
he hud tfcs strictest confidence In
Wilsoa a ad approved the reehuffle.
One high poiiSS sfficer atated con-
fidentially, howsver, that the invea-
ligation of I^ewis* slaying bad been
marked by "claahea" between detec-
tive division chiefs and other police
commanders. The murder occurred in
the Fillmore police district headed by
Francis Flanagan.
So far, in the investigation, police
seemed to be more c«»ocerned is leads
that tended to emburraas the slain
slderman'a family. They have tried
to link Iiewis with policy rscketeer-
ing in the ward and have Investigated
his finsncial transsctions. Even ths
extent of his indebtedness snd report-
