NEW YORK ~ Roy Wilkins, |
executive secretary of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,

today called upon President

Eisenhower to express ~the in
dignation felt by every decent

American~ at the arrest and

~maltreatment of the Rev. Dr.
Martin Luther King by Mont
gomery, Ala., police.

In a telegram dispatched today to the President at Newport, R. 1, Mr. Wilkins said
that the manhandling of -Dr.
King ~has shocked the nation
and demands in the minds of
millions of Americans a rebuke
from the Chief Executive.~
Previously, the, NAACP leader
had wired Dr. King assuring
him of the Association~s support.
The NAACP, he said, ~along
with the rest of the nation is
outraged at the treatment of
you by the Montgomery police.
We stand ready to assist in any

way to our maximu mability.~

The complete text of Mr. Wilkins~ telegram to President Eisenhower follows: ~

We know that technically
the Federal Government can
do nothing about a_ police
court case in any city, but the
arrest and manhandling yes-~
terday of Rev. Martin Luther
King by police in Montgomery,
Ala., has shocked the nation
and demands in the minds of
millions of Americans a rebuke from the chief executive.
Dr. King is a distinguished citizen of the country, a man
dedicated ~to non-violence. and
peace, but with a passion for
Justice for his people. That he |
should be subjected to the
indignities reserved for hoodlums and criminals is an outrage and an affront to the
American sense of fair play.
This occurrence in the midst -
of a wave of acts of naked op--
pression by state and local
governments and of _incitements to violence by goverors and others against Negro
citizens would. seem to re--
quire from the highest place
a statement reflecting the indignation felt by every decent
Ameriéan.
