H Vivian Malone and James
Hood closeted any fear ln their
hearts on the eve of their arrival
at the University of Alabama,
they did not betray it. either by
word or act.
They were outwardly calm
and confident and occasionally
light-hearted last Friday after
noon as they talked with a re
porter of The Amsterdam News
at the office of the NAACP Le
gal and Defense Fund at 10 Co
lumbus Circle.
Miss Malone, a slender, at
tractive coed of 20, laconic of
speech and delicate of features,
seemed the more anxious and shy
of the two. She sometimes twid
dled her fingers and bit her bps,
probably out of weariness from
her travels, the hovering about
her of constantly padding cam
eramen and NAACP ottcials and
the staccato questioning of her
interviewer.
She had planed into the city
that day to apparently discuss
strategy for her entrance to the
nniversitywith NAACP lawyers
and was to plane out Sunday
evening after snatching glimpses
of the city in between possible
' nrre fcruiries and more confer
ences.
With an air that made her
plans sound as «irnple as apply
ing lipstick, she softly said:
“I’m going to register Tues
day.”
Then, as an afterthought, she
added:
“I hope nothing happens.”
Her registration, it was elicit
ed from her. was to be the be
ginning of the unfolding of a
dream of studying business ad
ministration ever since she grad
uated from Central High School
is Mobile two years ago.
Powell Says
Evers Killer
Pro Gunman
The brutal killer of NAACP
Mitalaalppi Held secretary Iftjd-
gar Evers had to ba a "pro
fessional gunman** whc was
hired to do a special Job, Rep
Adam Clayton Powell declared
this week.
Powell said he felt the type
of high-powered rifle used in toe
killing was the kind professional
gunmen use, and be indicated
be was sure the gunman wore
gloves.
The theory was based on the
fact that police have discovered
only one fingerprint, while an
ordinary gunman firing such a
high powered weak >n would
have left several fingerprints.
Powell doubted the fingerprint
wae that of the actual killer,
and asserted that the weapon
may have been left behind to
confuse police in their search
for the killer.
Meanwhile In Jackson, FBI
agents and Mississippi police
were still checking leads on the
murder. To date mote than

the NAACP, has bean offered

Other Deeds
A few of the other deeds the
girls were successful in were:
to beautify the lawn at Scout
House; fill envelopes for the An
nual Fund Drive; give dolls,
which they made themselves,
for underprivileged children at
Christmas; sing Carols through
a number of residential streets
on Christinas Eve; give aid to
a Handicapped Cub Scout Troop
on Saturday mornings; visit In
termediate troops and teach
them songs and games.
For diversion, they had a
splash party at the St. George
Hotel; gave a mother and daugh
ter banquet: went on a few
camping trips; made a one
week-end trip to Albany, N.Y.
This trip was assisted money-
wise by a lovely Washington’s
Birthday luncheon they gave.
None of this could be possible
without the two leaders, Mrs.
Green and Mrs. Daniels who
