Each week during the seseion of the assembly artists sponsored by their legislators participate in the exhibit aimed to encourage th<tfevelopment of creative arts in doe State. Cpcklow’a collection was the largest but one in the lot, and as did the painting, “Spring'*, reflated life in his environment. These was a feeling of Joy in that picture as two young girls frolicked in the field covered by green shrubs and flower*. There were the elderly women in "Sunday Morning” dressed in their finery and showing a new Best as they walked to or from the.church. In “The Domestic" the artist portrayed the dignity of -labor which be saw in the woman with a paper bag contain­ ing a change of clothes, going toxto an honest day's work. CClssy” was an etched litho­ graphic drawing of his niece, Cfesy, at 12. The atruggle of the Nigro American shows clearly in; “Three Boys", seen with a tenement background, looking uicertain and confused about life. Also In “She Waits, Too." to» this uncertainty and confusion added the element of hope aid expectation.

Only about W\> is theirs. The balance ts distributed all over the world by the self ap­ pointed monitors who feel that they know what is oest for the proletarian slaves, and if the slav­ es never offer any protest the monitors become bolder. Soon well all be working two extra days to support their greed in­ stead of the present one day. I refer to the income tax, of course. Not too many people are aware that six states have voted to peti­ tion Congress to offer an Amend ment to the Constitution which would abolish this evil institution known as the income tax and that other states are expected to follow site shortly. You can help BROOKLYN QU6BN5 make New York the seventh state. Two resolutions, presently being considered by the N.Y. Legisla­ ture would have chia effect. These are Senate Resolution N. 15, by Sen. E. O. Bush and Assembly Resolution Ne. 46 by Assembly­ man Wilson Van Duzer. A letter to your State Senator and Assemblyman urging action upon and approval of these Reso­ lutions would be a striking blow for your own economic freedom. Harvey Crumhorn Brooklyn, N.Y. NAACP Credited Dear Sir: The New York Am­ sterdam News of March 2, 1963, carried a news story about the liberation of J. C. Tannehill, a victim of 36 years imprisonment in Alabama’s Kilby Prison, with trial or confession, and of his deliverance from further cruelty by the granting of a writ of Ha­ beas Corpus by Justice Hyman Barshay of the New York State Supreme Court. Unfortunately the press release upon which your news story was based failed to credit the Brooklyn Branch of the N.A.A.C.P. and its secretary, Mrs. Lucille Rose, with the dis covery of J.C. Tannehill and the injustice done to him by the Ala bama authorities. I wish to give public praise to the Brooklyn Branch of the N.A. A.C.P. for its timely action of this important case. I also desire to congratulate Mrs. Lucille Rose for her recognition of Tannehill’s plight and for referring it im­ mediately to me in September, 1962. Were M not for the existence of the Brooklyn Branch and its alert leaders oriFTTwre victim of southern injustice would probably be spending the last days of his life in the gloomy cell of an Ala bama Jail, for a crime which he did not commit.
