2—The IndianapoRs Recorder, Jan. 16,1960 Negro Won't Vote for Johnson, NAACP Secretary Predicts
NEW YORK (ANP) — Addressing the 50th annual meeting of the NAACP, Roy Wilkins, the association’s executive secretary, stated bluntly that he does not believe that Sen. Lyildon Johnson of Texas can win the Democratic presidential nomination because he doubts Negro voters will support him. Wilkins doubted even that former President Harry S. Truman, whom Negroes respect, can influence

party leaders in the Northern big cities to support the Texan. Said Wilkins: “IF YOU CALL the roll from Boston to Los Angeles, you will find that in every Northen? city which is pivotal, the Democratic leaders have reason,to doubt that Negroes will support Sen. Johnson. These people have respect for former President Truman, but Truman also knows what make people vote for this or that candidate.” Johnson supporters are reported to be working to get the backing of Truman for their man. Wilkins told the 150 national officers and branch leaders that Johnson’s civil rights background is against him. But he said Johnson followers have been trying to picture him as a deviate from the traditional Southern stand oh civil
rights.
Wilkins didn’t mince words with either party. In effect, he urged them to show by actions rather than words where they stand on civil rights. “In the election year of ^ I960,” said he, “both parties will finkh writing their records on civil rights with the handling of the civil rights bill in this session of Congress.” Campaign promises, such as the watered-down versions adopted by both parties last year, will mean little to the Negro voters, he predicted. Negroes, he said, will pay special attention to Legislation. Furthermore, he added, the parties’ candidates cannot ignore civil
rights.
As for the Republicans, Wilkins had this to say: “IT IS SOMEWHAT dismaying that President Eisenhower has let it be known or has created the impression, anyway, in advance o£ IK-? opening of Congress that he is not particularly concerned about the matter of federal registrars and that the administration may not support this proposal. “He is willing to stand pat on the bills the Congress proposed last January.” The use of federal registrars to protect Negroes’ voting rights has ^ccn suggested to the government.
DIPNT KNOW HE WAS SHOT: Oliver Ruffin, 27, 233 W. 13th, told police he had started to walk away from an argument Monday when he heard three shots and turned around. Only then, he reported, did he realize he'd been shot in the left hand. Another of the bullets whizzed through his right trouser leg, and the third penetrated the clothing of Mrs. Anna Mae Crim, 1246 W. 30th, who was walking with her 6-year-old daughter to catch a bus. Mrs. Crim escaped with a singed back and a bad case of fright. Arrested on preliminary charges of assaul and battery with intent to murder, shooting within the city limits and violation of the 1935 Firearms Act was the common-law husband of Ruffin s sister, Joe Moore, 232V'z Smith, with whom the wounded man had argued.

the kitchen.
Smith, who is free on a $500 bon^, said he backed into the kitchen and fired one shot at Myers from a 25-caliber automatic he had in his pocket and ran from the
apartment.
Mayers was arrested at a tavern about 10 minutes later by police answering a “man shot" report.

Only 20 Negroes Live in Russia, Writer Claims Chicago—Although there is no public display of racial disci imuaation against Negroes in Russia, “ITussiap women are sometimes taunted and made the butt of jokes when they have Negro husbands and boyfriends,” a former U,S. guide at the Moscow Trade Fair, writes in the January edition of Ebony Magazine. Writing on “How Negroes Live in Russia,” William B. Davis, himself a Negro aifd a U.S. Treasury j agent, said, “However, there are aboijt 20 citizens in Russia today cf Ame'iean Negro extraction who enjoy the same freedom of other
ci’.izcns
“However, freedom of all citizens in Russia is limited.” Davis said. FOR EXAMPLE, he pointed out, “Every citizen must carry a passport for identification. If he lives in Moscow and wants to go to Leningrad to see friends for any reason, he must have a passport and permission to travel. “It would be difficult for any American even to think of getting a passport to travel from Chicago
to Detroit.”
Most American Negroes living in Russia have been there for 25 or 30 years. Many have married Russian women and reared families, Davis remarked. Almost all are citizens But their offspring by white Russian women are still ccnsidered Negro, “even by Rus
sians themselves.”
“How long does it take a Negro . to become a plain Russian?” Davis {asked. “I suspect it will take him i as long as it will take him to become ^ plain American without a
racial tag.”
SOME NEGROES, for example George W. Tynes, a former resident of Roanoke, Va., and a graduste of Wilberforce University, are technical experts and live well according to meager ROssian stand-
ard.
Tynes is a technical expert on
S farming, Davis writes.
! Robert Robinson, formerly of | Detroit, left a Ford Motor Co. job I in 1930 to work as a technical ex-
! pert in Russi^.
“In 1040. he was elected to the Moscow City Council where lie sat with Joseph V. Stalin. Khrushchev, Molotov, Kaganovich, Bulganin and others,” according to
Davis.

In his instruction, Judge Mize told the jurors that it “is not a violation of the civil rights act if individuals conspire to ?^i?e a person from a state jail or from the sheriff and kill him.” “IT IS MURDER, punishable by the state.” he said.

of racketeering.
The Jackson Daily News reported that it bas reliable information that at least 16 witnesses will decline to answer questions for fear of incrimi-
nating themselves.
Officials estimate that witnesses are being summoned at the rate of five a day, making a total of 50 for the 10-day inquisition. Conviction on indictments brought by the grand jury are punishable by a maximum sentence of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine on each
count.
While there is an obvious fear of what action the federal grand jury will take, it is generally felt around here that use of the Fifth Amendment will hamper the investigation and that, as a result, no indictments will be voted.
