His action came In response to re quests by numerous Interested In human relations and headed by the NAACP.

Demands for federal action were stepped up when a Cook County (Chicago) grand jury failed to Indict a single person who participated In 'the three-day orgy of arson and open defiance of police and' national guardsmen that occurred when Harvey Gaik. Flsk graduate and World War II veteran, tried to move into an apartment, in the gangster ridden Chicago, suburb. That grand Jury astonished the nation, by indictjiig-George Leighton, Negro lawyer who represented tha Clarks; Charles Edwards, Negro-real estate agent who rented ihamj the flat llis CarnUlO TH thtnrtimng'iMGeorge AdimW Negro lawyer' to wbons she i the apartment house. were charged with conspiring toin-jure the property of a large number of persons by treating and causing to be rented the apartment to the when certain persons (In Clfm) objected to said Han ey I Clark residing there Worse Than Whitewash. Spokesmen for the group which urged federal action told McGrath in uncertain terms that they regarded ythe grand Jurys action as "worse than a They pointed out that the effect of its action was to attempt nullification of Supreme Court decisions holding that Negroes have a constitutional right- to own and occupy property anywhere they choose.

A ruling on their motion to quash the Indictment will be decided Monday: While McGrath' was promising federal-action the Chicago grand jury was completing its term of service, apparently well satisfied with the Job It had done. Its foreman was Earl Searborg, a foreman in a meat packing plant. -After the grand jury' was discharged. the members gathered around Sea borg in the corridor, clapping -him on the back and shaking his hand.
