MOBILE, Ala.—(ANP) — The
Department of Justice has been
asked to investigate a new wave
of police brutality at Prichard,
Ala., an incorporated city of
about 45,000 population six miles
from Mobile.
The request was made Monday

police officers.

The plea to the Justice Depart-
nient was made by J. L. LeFlore,
veteran civil rights leader, who
described Moore’s experience as
the “worst incident” of its kind Mini
investigated by him in more than
25 years of his activity in civil
rights work — “with the
tion of several instances which
resulted in death to the victims,”
Moore Beaten Before
LeFlore said that Moore had
previously reported that Prichard
police beat him and another man
on the night of last Oct. 2. hut
not to the same extent as the
latest incident.
The civil rights leader said he
would not divulge the names of
any of the other persons whose
eases were submitted to the Jus
tice Department for investigation
because it was felt that it may

ard officials that he (Moore) had
given a statement to the FBI, “he
was arrested again about a week
later on a charge brought by

HUIET REPORTS GEORGIA ROAD TO PROGRESS STRAIGHT AHEAD
i Atlanta, February 1—Commissioner of Labor Ben T. Huiet, left, in making the annual
report for 1959 to Governor »S. Ernest Vandiver, center, and the General Assembly here today
raid: “Governor Vandiver, the 1959 annual report of the Georgia Department of labor nails
another sign on Georgia’s road to progress. The milestone, marking the beginning of a new
decade, shows that 1959 ended and I960 began with a record non-farm employment of over
one million. That is double of what 1940 began with and over a fourth more than 1950. Every
indication shows Georgia’s road to progress is straight ahead, towards even greater pros¬
perity.” Looking on at right is T. M. Forbes, chairman of the Department’s Advisory Council,
which was created by the General Assembly to assist Commissioner Huiet in solving problems
concerning Employment Security. The Council, composed of outstanding citizens represent¬
ing employers, employees and the general public, has played a major role in keeping the Em¬
ployment Security Law current with Georgia’s expanding economy and her worker needs.
Commissioner Huiet praised the Governor, the General Assembly and the Advisory Council
for their efforts in keeping the State’s Employment Security Law close to the needs of the
State’s people and keyed to its economy.
