Legionnaire Hits Negroes as Delegates
The national vice commander of the American Legion condemned Negro delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Dallas. Everett Page of Carthage Texas faulted a NAACP-CIO coalition for placing three Negroes on the Dallas delegates list and said he refused a delegate post to avoid sitting with them. He criticized Eisenhower’s foreign aid and urged focus on veterans benefits. The Mississippi Legion convention ends Wednesday.
