official role as federal judge that he
spoke to a special Grand Jury Mon-

citizens when he said he was "sick-
ened" by the Sunday bombing of a
Negro church in which four young
girls died and many others were
rinjured.
iJudge Allgood called the crime it
blackening sin against humanityfi
It is to Birmingham's and Alabama's
everlasting disgrace that conditions
existed here which were conducive to
such an atrocity.
"ln recent weeks." this federal
judge said in his charge to the jury.
we haie witnessed what amounts to
ir.~cke:'5 rt" our Iaus. a mockery h}
those who would cut the very roots of
our American system of justice: who
ill in Filling aunriii style the groittli
of our way of life. and snuff out

tiona1it}'."
This was not a "Northern busy-
body," a "do-gooder" with no concep-
tion of Southern conditions. This was
a Southerner. an Aiahantian. out-.
raged by the horrible thing which had
come to pass. =;
The deep and abiding tragedy oi
this and other acts of violence is that
those who commit them do so in de-
fense of what they conceive to be a
"Southern tradition." Nothing could
be t'urtiier from the ideals of our
beloved region, and those who think
Sn are the ones who least understand
hat that tradition is.
"Those who resort to this type of
violence in the pious name of free-
d-nn and tradition blaspheme their
nt-igiiiJot'. their country and their
Goal." Judge Aligood said. If they
think that in their insane frenzy they
are serving the cause of segregation,
tliey are traitors to tiieir cause. They
do the South a disservice and will be
condenmed by all decent thinking

Although there have been
approximately 46 bombings in
Alabama 19 in Birmingham
alone - since January 1959, the
church bombing ls only the
fifth such case where WI
agents have been told to make
a full investigation.
Since the latest bombing,
Negro leaders have been ask-
ing why the FBI hasn't delved
into the other Alabama cases.
Herc is the Explanation given
by Federal authorities:
The Justice Department has
taken the position that the
primary jurisdiction for inves-
tigating the bombings re-
mains with local authorities
and that Congress wanted it
that way when it passed the
bombing sections of the Civil
Rights Actoi19BG.

The magazine said the FBI
considered it a premature ar-
rest which tipped off the bomb-
ers that authorities knew a great
deal about their activities but
also showed they did not have
enough elvidence to'con92{ict them

. To prevent any of the gang
from talking, themagazine said
a .kiss of death meeting was
held with all of the group in-

The bomber is being so care-.
