! of'Gary to dow n the Klan-co'n trolled

Johnson jn his Gary address said in
part:
j "''Thiough. the prompt and deter'iniricd
action of _,the- loc-al launch of
. the National Association for the Ad|
vancemcnt of Colored People and the
National Ollice, the plan of the Gary
city council to appropriate Sl'o.OlMl.
i" atvii. The .Mayor himself Acknowledges
that the step's taken . in the
courts by the N. A. A.. G.?P. have
outlawed the proposed action of the
city, authorities. The first; victory
however, is not the end but the'bs"g":
lining of the fight. 1 have learned
since' 1 ha\e been here in Gary that
the .forces motivated by thc Kii Klux
Klan are determined to bring about
complete segregation in t.he public;
schools of Garv.' Anil tfnr~ K ht., will

j "I would hnzzard a guess that there

The difference being tint thy Klan is

waged for. the Nygro. on this issue
by the X. A. A. C. P. is just arid must
command the whole-hearted and unitvd
