White A Hired
Hate-Monger
MIAMI—A verbal blast by Gov. Fuller Warren at Walter White of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the burning of a 15-foot cross at a Ku Klux Klan meeting featured Florida's bombing news over the week-end.
Warren said White "has come to Florida to try to stir up strife" and continued:
"This hired Harlem hate-monger has poured purchased wrath upon Florida because one of its good colored citizens was murdered by a cowardly assassin."
White, in the state to attend the funeral of Harry T. Moore, Florida secretary of the NAACP who was killed Christmas Night when a bomb exploded under his home at Mims, said earlier the governor consistently refused to take any steps to uphold law and order in connection with recent Miami bombings and the shooting of Negroes charged with rape in Lake County.
Warren's statement said "everything possible is being done to apprehend the killer."
Robed and hooded klansmen held a meeting at Woodvale, near Tallahassee, Saturday night and burned a 15-foot fiery cross.
Florida Grand Dragon Bill Hendrix of Tallahassee and Grand Dragon Tom Hamilton of South Carolina attended. Hendrix said the Klan is guiltless of bombings and planting explosives at Negro, Catholic and Jewish centers in Miami.
