t'outimiod from Fa^e 1 that it (the misconduct charge) v as politically motivated.” He said the situation had remained tense in the Negro community and that “most of us are just waiting to see what happens.” From statements gathered from the witnesses, Satterwhite said the NAACP had sent a letter to the mayor, the safety board and Police Chief Daryle Wright requesting the suspensions. The letter, mailed July 31, was signed by Satterwhite, JVlrs. Otis Hawthorne, local branch president; and other branch officials. Satterwhite said his reports indicated that the officers entered the lounge, 16th and Cedar, at about 1:15 a.m., in an intoxicated condition and immediately began cursing customers and employees there. He emphasized that the policemen were off duty and were in a Negro section of town in a tavern mainly used hv Negroes. He said he believed they came there “to insult the Negro community.” “When they became loud and began using abusive language, a patron, Mrs. Lucy Allensworth, asked them to quit but they refused,” the NAACP official stated. "She went over to the phone to call police and they took the phone away from her. “Meanwhile someone outside called police and when the uniform lieutenant came in and asked them to leave, the capjain told him. ‘Go on about your business.’ ” Satterwhite said at one point the officers drew their revolvers and said “they were going to shoot anyone who interfcrred.” He said the uniform lieutenrnt summoned the police chief who got the pair to leave the tavern. In another matter concerning the shooting death of a 19-ycar-old Negro youth by two white policeman Saturday night during a burglary Satterwhite said his group had found no misconduct there, although he admitted that there was ill feeling in the community. The youth, Steve Ollen Wilson, was shot after he refused to halt when ordered, and after police fired several warning shots into the air. He was struck in the leg and leportedly died about 30 minutes after the shooting. It was believed that the bullet severed a main artery causing him to bleed to death. An autopsy was scheduled. The youth reportedly had burglarized Phil and Betty’s tavern and dropped a case of whiskey when he saw police, who were answering the alarm.

lice and further violence thretened, Mayor Thomas Whelan met with Negro civil rights leaders, but nothing fruitful came out of the meeting. Both sides issued harsh statements. The mayor said the (second) pre-dawn rioting was nothing more than “an isolated incident of holliganism.” The Kansas City rioting was triggered by an auto accident. But police said the men they nelieved instigated the violence lied after they were placed in a squadrol. At the same time, police held nine men on various charges, including one who identified himself as ohn Aderso, 28, a member of the Black Muslims. Five patrolmen were injured, one—Gilbert Durham, 38— seriously. Durham was severely kicked in the groin. Like the recent riots in Harlem, Brooklyn and Rochester, N.Y., those in Jersey City and Kansas City burgeoned out of control of civil rights leaders who appealed for an end to the violence. The riots also exploded in predominantly Negro communities. The Jersey City riot was described as the worst in th% city’s history. It was the third predominantly racial riot in a large American city in the past two weeks. Some of those arrested in Jersey City were dismissed at a hearing before Magistrate Robert Wall. ‘Six others were released in custody of Councilman Fred Martin and Raymond Brown, a Negro civil rights leader. Two others were held in 85,000 bail each and still two others in $500 bond each. Meanwhile, * three Ohio cities girded for possible similar violence. They were Cleveland, where Negroes had attacked two Negro policemen trying to arrest one of three burglary suspects. Columbus and Cincinnati. In Cleveland, too, 100 persons attended a meeting called to protest police brutality. There were also these outbreaks in other cities: CHICAGO: Persons believed to be racists set off a $23,000 in two homes in which Negroes were scheduled to move in a changing neighborhood. Negro realtor Herbert Hedgeman said it was the fourth time that violence had been directed at one of his buildings. HICKSVILLE, N.Y.: Police arrested two white men for attacking Negro and white rights demonstrators. A CORE spokesman said the white attackers carried signs reading “Join>the local Ku Klux Klan chapter.”

the information.

. Gore said there was definite evidence that the three youths had been beaten. He described thir mutilated bodies as being fully-clothed and clad in the clothing ’ each was wearing when the trio vanished June 21. Goodman and Schwerner were full time CORE workers and were in Mississippi helping a voter registration drive. Chaney, a Negro, was a summer volunteer frpm Meridian. FBI agents, using a drag line, found the remains in the' shallow, three-foot grave some 20 feet inside a wall of the

farm pond.

Agents speculated that a piece of earth moving equipment, possibly a bulldozer, had been used to build the dam in an effort to conceal the

grave.

After the grim discovery, scores of FBI agents fanned out and began a foot-by-foot examination of the area in search of clues. Guards were posted and no one, including members of the press, were allowed to enter the area. Olen Burrage, 42-year-old owner of a farm near the grave site, claimed complete lack of knowledge of why the murdered youths were dumped on his property. He said he knew nothing of the incident until FBI came to his house Tuesday, armed with a search warrant, and asked to look over his land. He said he began to build the pond last May for fishing and cattle watering but never finished it. In his press conference, Gregory announced that it was he who had provided the $25,000 reward after the anonymous letter writer had requested it. He borrowed the money from Playboy publisher Hugh

Fefner.

Gregory said he had first considered the note a hoax until Tuesday’s discovery of the

corpse.

Exerpts from the letter said, “The three rights workers . . . were buried in a field not too from Philadelphia, Miss., between five to eight miles to the right going south from Philadelphia.” American Fletcher Bank rated 68th among 14,107 The American Fletcher Bank and Trust Company of Indianapolis has advanced to 68th from 78th place in standing of the 14,107 banks in the United States, as compiled by the American Banker. This is based on the June 30 oeposit totals compared to the standings on December 31 1963. AFNB deposits totaled $520, 215, 546, as compared to $478, 708,350, in December of 1963.

Survivors include a daughter, Mrs. Johnny M. Haskins, Denver, and five grandchildren.

rights trio The Indianapolis chapter of CORE will conduct memorial services Sunday night for the three youthful civil rights workers whose bodies were discovered Tuesday in shallow graves near Philadelphia, Miss. Scene of the 7:30 p.m. memorial tribute to the martyred youths will be East Side Baptist Church, 2845 Baltimore, of which Rev. Andrew Williams is pastor. To add to the symbolism of the services, CORE officials announced that three coffins will be on display at

the church.

“Eulogizing” the three dead ■“Mississippi Campaign” participants will be representatives from the Indianapolis Church Federation, the Indiana State Council of Churches, the Disciples of Christ and the Jewish and Catholic Communi-

ties.

Discovery of the three bodies terminated a mystery that began June 21 when Andrew Goodman, 20, New York, and Michael Schwerner, 24, Brooklyn, both white; and James Chaney, 21-year-old Meridian, Miss., Negro, disappeared. The trio vanished after being released from a Philadelphia, Miss., jail where they had been held on a traffic violation charge. They had come to Philadelphia from Meridian to inspect a burned church. Authorities later found their burned station wagon on a secluded road. On June 30, CORE conducted a prayer vigil at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument on the Circle for Goodman, Schwerner, Chaney and others working in the mass Negro voter registration campaign.
