Page Eight ^ WHY SUPPORT NAACP LEGAL DEFENSE? Continued fiom page 1 our states. They have a losing fight, of course. They can never -*?win in the long run, hut?often they do have temporary success and often delay the eventual impact of law and order. , These . underprivileged- people ----who have suffered the indignities of exploitation for so many years ' are entitled to relief. "Justice de-I layed is justice denied." We must give our wholehearted support to j '.hose who would rescue these people from the devices of , the the suhversivies. That we would support the law of the. land should be a sufficient reason for us. But in addition the whole matter is merely one of decency and justice*. It is incon- ' ceivable that one who calls him. - i sell an American or a . (.nristian - can any longer tolerate this up? ; Ainti.imn ami nw ('h?i.?tiim muth . od of continuing racTal segregation If flaunting the law of ?~(lod anil man to persecute ^others and deny them the eqtial protect. ion of Our laws and full "bpportun ity in our civil and religious life. We must recognize that indeed j "All men are created equal" and I ?. that this means all. If we are not sufficiently mov- | ed l?y patriotism or religion; if j neither the mandates of the laws-' of maif-or of Clod convince u,s, i then nerftapW" the appeal to our own sejf protection may have some impact. The whyle world is in thf throes of change and awakening. Thy evil and dangerous Communist forces are appealing to t h e : masses of people especially in A- f sia and Africa ? hy showing that J this land of ours, which is the ' ??* great democratic country of west em civilization, practices gross discrimination ugarftst its large colored population. This has unfortunately - been true in parts of the. United ?States. It must stop. And the best I way to meet propaganda is to first clean up our own ways of living lis an example that a ? de power and above all the will to practice and live in complete equality for all within its borders. The complete abolition of all forms of segregation and racial v bias must be accomplished now. We have but a little time t o 1 - show to the world what we 'real- j ly mean , by democracy. And so it is necessary that we support | fully the efforts to eliminate rac- I ial bias and discrimination to ? Villi* f)onn^t til QQVC QUI souls.

Jailed Illegally For Awarded $51,000 b> aid Pugh, after serving 17 years' 1 in prison for a murder he did not j commit!, was awarded $51,00.0 last \Veek by the Illinois ' State Legislature. i. Pugh was freed from Stateville, Prison in 1953, after an investigation by a Chicago attorney relvealed that Hugh's conviction was based on a forced confession, and , evidence suppressed by arresting j potice authorities. The 37-ye.ar-old Ppgh was ac- j cused, along with another v man, William Fowler, of stubbitig to ' death 'William Hagg, a railway * eNfpress Worker, during a robery i n l93G. . [! Witnesses {rave police descrip- ^ tions of the two men and several ( th.. lillinir l'nnli nn.l Fowler were arrested. After six days of alleged policelj brutality, ^from?Supt. 17-23, Pugh and Fowler confessed. The con- . fession served as the only evidence in their trial. Pug.h was, , sentenced to life imprisonment, ( and Fowler, who died in prison in 1949, was given 199 years. In 1951, however, Atty, George^ l.eightoji, formerly an NAACPJ counsel here began investigating!, Prgh's case and discovered that 1 , arresting officers had suppressed | ( vital evidence-that would have j cleared the two men during the trial. "That evidence suppressed by , t.he two arresting officers," At-. torney Leighton said, "was a des-1 cription of the two men who ae=9 , tually killed and robbed Hagg.1 j Police, set on solving the case,! since they were under?pressure?( from the railway company, realized they had arrested the wrung | men and suppressed the _docu- , ment descriptions from the jury to yet a conviction. Pugh was zu years of aye at the time of his sentence. in April, Senator Fred .T. Smith of Chicago introduced a bill at the J1 line i ^ State Legislature, asking the state to award Puyh $51,000 compensation for the time he was illegally imprisoned. The bill, guided by Senator J Smith, passed both houses and was signed by Governor William Stratton. Puyh said his futurerpians are indffinite at the time.
