From what we’ve been able to learn so ter. Patton told The Recorder, both white youths started to run after being confronted with the gun and that Willoughby was caught and shot as he sought to flee along to* railroad tracks located less than 900 yards from the project.

Prison officials responsible for inmate's death; prisoners chsm
Meanwhile. Indianapolis Urban League president Sam Jones, seeking to allay any panic, was anxious to assure parents of Mack students enrol led in Perry Township their youngsters “will be protected
at ail cost.”
Jones was speaking on behalf of the School Desegregation Advisory Council which huddled Wednesday with Indianapolis Polk-e Department offi-
by the police, sheriff and the superintendent of Perry Township Schools that these Mack students will be protected.” Jones said. “The important thing is for the parents not to worry about the safety and welfare of these kids. What we’re trying to do now n to get commitments from white pa rimts and white leaders in that <Perry Township) area that a move will be made to stop the
Inmates at the Indiana State Reformatory have laid the responsibility of the death of inmate Ricky Macon directly into the laps of prison officials. In a letter ot the Recorder, inmates have alledged that Macon's life could have been saved if officers would have reacted to the constant calls for aid for the reputed ringleader of Oct. 4 disturbance that left Macon dead and seven inmates injured, along with six prison guards. Inmates who prefer not to be identified for safety reasons, have stated on October 6, at around 3:15 a.m., Macon was found near death in his segre gated cell from what DOC (Department of Correction! of Heals have termed acute asthma attack. Eventhough autopsy reports were inconclusive.
Prison officials told the members of the media that Macon was given proper medical attention. Also according to the inmates a fan was placed in Macon’s cell to circulate air in the ninety degree conditions. Most people know that humidhot air only adds to the suffering of those who have asthma. Specific charges included: 1. Ricky Macon called for help almost two hours before his asthma hit him totally 4the entire Unit yelled for officer). Inmate Porter from the Administrative Seg. Unit witnessed Ricky Macon gagging and vomiting, and told officers twice. 2. When Medical Technician finally arrived at Mr. Macon's cell, they argued with him and left without treating him. 3. Officers in the Unit had
before refuted to give Macon his medication, subjecting him to all forms of verbal abuse for asking. 4. At about 3:90 a.m.. October 6. 1961, inmates witnessed Ricky Macon being dragged, in chains past their cells in an unconscious condition, by guards who were laughing and joking about the situation. Later on that morning the population as well as the inmates in Segregation Unit found out tote Ricky Macon was dead. Inmates caught discussing it were threatmued or locked-up. One inmate was even told that if he didn’t keep his mouth shut “the same thing could happen to him”. The big question is what aO attributed to Ricky Macon’s death? Why did he have to die? And why didn't be get medical treatment sooner?

duied for 10:30 a.m. Friday te Perry Meridian High School with Mayor William Hudnut himself personally pleading for an end to the strife. Pinckney hinted that, despite what the white media has played up. all has not been sweet since Mack inner-city Indianapolis Public School students wound up in suburban schools this fall via Federal Judge S. Hugh Dillin’s order. Until last Thursday. October 15. Indianapolis was exhiMted nationally as a prize example of how smoothly cross-district-ing busing could go. as opposed to some of the more publicized incidents in other cities. But. there have been persistent rumors to the contrary. Black students, according to surfacing allegations. have caught the brunt of a lot of out and-out intimidation since showing up at Perry Meridian High School, 401 West Meridian School Road. Perry Township te reputedly a base for some* KKK resurgence, and of the areas where Macks were assigned, some say this is the
one they were most apprehensive about attending. James Head, the high school principal, seemed to downplay last week's runin. describing it as a “small racial incident’’ after some words had been exchanged. He did admit a school bus hearing blacks had been attacked, but Dr. Pinckney says when police authorities were informed of the incident, none even bothered to respond. Reportedly on Friday. October 16. a familiar yellow bus leaving the school bearing blacks was pelted by whites. A window was broken, resulting in face lacerations to 14-year-old Sam Logwood, a freshman. His mother said Wednesday, “Some white boys in a car pulled up to the tms giving the students ‘the finger.' When the students yelled back, a set of karate sticks ikere thrown through the window.” The woman said Mayor William Hudnut sounded really concerned, calling her home
personally to oiler apologies. A talk with Thalia Hanna of the Perry Township desegrega tion office turns up one patent answer when ask«*d about what ignited it ail. “They were racial." she says of the clashes. Black children are scared.” Ms. Hanna explained the children have heard of and are aware of the KKK. She added concern should he for the safety and well being of every child “while or black." The Creator Indianapolis Progress Committee passed a resolution at iheir meeting Wednesday pledging their sup|»ort and resources to the recently estaMished (immunity Desegregation Advisory Council. “The Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee stands fasi in its belief that as a community, we can and will positively and peacefully move forward.”
WASHINGTON. D.C.
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus noting close ties with slain Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Monday denounced the Administration and the State Department for failing to include a CBC representative in the official U.S. Delegation to his funeral. After learning that no Mack government representative was scheduled to go, the CBC contacted the State Department to inquire about American Embassy arrangements for a visiting Congressman who might attend the ceremonies unofficially. The CBC was told that aa embassy staff would be available to provide security, housing or diplomatic amenities to anyone not a part of the
