point out that unless a citizen
to and being a part of the gov-
can feel that Me is a part of
the government and can ac¬
tually participate in it. he is
always going to feel like an
outsider. It has always been
quite common for Negro citi¬
zens to say “what are they go¬
ing to do about such and such
a thing" when referr.ng to the
government, declared Hill, but
it is surprising to note mow the
Negroes of Richmond have be¬
gun recently to refer to gov¬
ernmental activities by say.ng
“what are we going to do about
it." “That ‘we’ is most gratify¬
ing and important,” he empha¬
sized.
He told the radio audience
that the elimination of
gatien both by law and by cus¬
tom would go a long way to¬
ward removing many false Is¬
sues whio.i unnecessarily pla¬
gue the economic, polit.cal
and social structure of this
great nation.
He said he had been treated
most cordial by the other mem¬
bers of the city council since
he had become one of Its mem

diality has been manifested by

be has come in contact.
In introducing Atty. Hill, Dr.
Todd po nted out that he is
the only colored American in
the South who was elected to
a similar office as a result of
a city-wide election. ’This
uniqueness of Atty. H ll’o elec¬
tion is enhanced by t'ne fact
ihat less than one-third of the
population in Richmond com¬

business relations.

"I’m r.ot going to be fright

declared.
Gov. Thomas .E. Dewey was at
his farm in Pawling during the
outbreak, but his off.ee had no
comment. However, it has been
reported that a complete re
port on the riot has been or
dered by him.
Milton Flynt, convnander of
Peekskill Post, 272, American

was to prevent the Paul Robe¬
son concert and I think our ob-

Later Robeson declared tin

cident, but part of a nation¬
wide "campa gn of terror’
against progressive IVKjcg
• Behind these few Legionnaires
are powerful forces,” he de¬
clared. "Those boys were told
to do it.”
One of the worst rcatures ol'
the riot was the anti-Negro
and anti-Jewish remarks heard
among the veterans and their
s'lpnorters. A large number
of the audience was composed
of Negroes. None of the raid¬
ers were arrested.
Robeson himself was headed
