Three Congressmen Demand Probe of Golf Club loan
Reps John Conyers Charles Diggs and William Clay claim Natchez Trace Golf Club in Tupelo Mississippi used three Black workers as cover to obtain a 265000 Agriculture Department loan backed by the Farmers Home Administration. They say the workers were paid by white club officers and could not have afforded membership fees. They seek government reports on Negro participation in similar loans and criticize the recreation loan program as aiding the wealthy.
