NEGRO LEADERS HEARD AT G.O.P. CONVENTION
DEMAND ACTION ON CIVIL RIGHTS
SAY RACE DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED. POWER IS CITED; PLANK INSERTED
TWO ARRESTED IN DELINQUENCY CASE A man who allegedly kept dates with a fifteen-year old girl at the residence of a woman friend was taken into custody by juvenile court officers this week on a warrant sworn to by the girl's father, charging him with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The woman involved faces a similar charge. Their cases will be heard in Juvenile Court July 14. The accused couple, Wade Mattingly, 46, 1117 Zane, and Mrs. Lucille Bell, 1047 South 7th, were arrested after Earl Clayton, 725 W. St. Catherine, father of the girl reportedly accused Mattingly of "going with" the girl and the woman of harboring them at her home. The juvenile denies all charges against the adults. However, Atty. C. Ewbank Tucker who will prosecute Mattingly said she is "merely trying to shield the people." He added that he has witnesses who will testify to their guilt despite denials. Tucker said he was in possession of information that indicates Mattingly has carried the girl out of the state, into Indiana as far as Charlestown. Clayton, the girl's father, according to reports, sent a brother of the girl who faces delinquency charges to spy on her. The brother supposedly returned and told his father he saw his sister in a car with the accused man. The case came to the attention of The Leader after a tip indicated that two juvenile court workers took $27 from Mrs. Bell at the time of arrest. The men who arrested Mrs. Bell said they allowed the woman time in which to raise bond money in order that she might not have to go to jail. "She has a seven-year-old child and is highly thought of in the neighborhood, so we gave her time to get her bond money," the highly incensed probation worker said. Court records show that the $500 bond was made by Porter Young, a professional bondsman, on June 17th.

White Aspirant Finds Pressure Too Tough
FEDERAL COURT MAY GET CASE AGAIN DENIED ADMITTANCE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY Turned down the second time in the attempt to enroll as a student at the University of Kentucky, it comes to The Leader, that Lyman T. Johnson, member of the faculty of Central High School and a prominent civic leader, will carry his case to the Federal Court. Johnson, who is being supported by the Louisville branch N.A.A.C.P., was denied admittance to the institution as a graduate student at Lexington, Ky., last Saturday by the registrar, Dean Maurice Seay, who said, "the State Constitution and laws forbid Negroes and white students to attend school together. He added, "It's just a matter of law. The only objection I have is its constitutionality. I'm not trying to deny it on the basis of credits or anything like that." When Johnson was denied admission last March, he appealed to the University of Kentucky trustees, and Frank D. Peterson, secretary, said the matter was under advisement. Johnson said he would file in Federal Court charging that the laws are contrary to the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
