Edgar Hoover said Saturday night that "too often justice is not only blind, but deaf and dumb" in prosecution of the "cowardly jackals" of the Ku Klux Klan and other racist groups. At the same time, Hoover said the civil rights movement has never been dominated by Communists, but does include some "dangerous opportunists and morally corrupt charlatans." The FBI director, in a speech to the Pennsylvania Society, did not refer to the recent dismissal of charges against 19 men arrested in connection with the slaying of three civil rights workers in Mississippi. He did cite another Mississippi case in i nine men were given suspended sentences and probation by a state judge although he said they offered no defense to charges stemming from a series of racial bombings. financing over a two to three year period.

The collection is not paintings alone. Beside acquiring such significant originals as "Self Portrait" and one of Wood's several "Stone City" works, there are also such treasures as his personally-designed easel, upon which he did all of i painting; his sketch box; the Gothic clock from his studio; his library and scrapbooks even his baby cup. There are hundreds of pieces in the collection, and it is intended to ultimately use all of them in a re-creation of his old Turner Alley studio at the new Davenport gallery. The entire collection was made available by Nan Wood Graham, Wood's sister, of Riverside, Calif.

The entire collection is being purchased by Davenport for $30,000. Mayor Raymond O'Brien said the matter of funds is being turned over to the city council's finance committee, and the $30,000 price will be set up for J.
