Liberal Union Calls on Truman To Prevent Further Lynchings

A telegram requesting that President Truman take immediate action against the racial violence of the last few weeks, was sent last night by the Harvard Liberal Union after its meeting and discussion of the subject in Phillips Brooks House.

Unanimous approval was given by the meeting to the message which read in part, "recent weeks have seen outbreaks of fascist violence against the Negro people such as threaten the lives of thousands of their race and the civil rights of all Americans--we urge that you use all possible law enforcement agencies to prevent further lynchings."
