The disastrous disorders in

Blair #
of 12 COO or 15.000, of
about 3,000 are Negroes, 1
“too bad.” In an in- •
he observed: ^
“7 gue;s there must be some
white people in Colum¬
who don’t like what hap¬
Some of them go out ^
the'r way to stop me on
the streets, shake my hand,
and tell me they are with' me.
But they don’t want thp'g-

afraid of their jobs and whflt
the'r neighbors are going to
think, I suppose. ,
“One white man told my son,
Saul, ‘I’ll be glad to help you
‘ecretiy,’ but Saul replied, ‘If
you can’t help me out in the
open, I’d just as soon not have
t. Thanks”
Blair said Columbia Negro
citizens have been voting right
along, and that the poll tax of
*2 each was pa‘d through a
voters’ organization. “Often
it’s our Vote which sw ngs an
election ” he asserted.
Wh'te tenants who occupy
two of his houses in Tennes¬
see wanted to knew if he would
compel them to move, he re¬
vealed. “7 told them, no, you
haven’t done anything to me,”
he stated.
