HOUSE of North of Gold Hill AT ft fc mm v , -.. On Display - One of the West's Finest Collections of Gold Dust and Nuggets Winter Hours 9 to 5 Under Founder's Management Since 1930 NAACP Official Says 'Pilgrimage' Impressed Ike - Washington If) Negro leader Roy Wilkins said' Satur day the big Negro "pilgrimage" to Washington should have im pressed President Eisenhower with the need for action in the civil rights field. Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and pilgrimage co-chairman, said the "Prayer Pilgrimage for Free dom" held at the Lincoln Me morial Friday was "the most sig nificant meeting . ever held in thp fipld of rivil riffhts " The orderly mass meeting, at - tended by thousands of Negroes and a few whites from all sec tions of the nation, appealed to both -Eisenhower and Congress for civil rights action. Sponsors of the pilgrimage sue cessfully kept Communists from demonstrating at the mass meet ing and barred them from the speakers platform. The Reds had tried to infiltrate the pilgrimage to exploit it for propganda pur poses. Communists on Hand But top Communists were on hand even though uninVited. Among those spotted in the crowd were Eugene Dennis, New York, the top party leader; Jam es Jackson, New York Negro, member of the national commit tee; Simon W. .Gerson, New York, top party spokesman; Ben jamin Davis, Negro, member of the national committee; James Ford, Negro, once the party's candidate for vice president; Roosevelt Ward of the Commu nist Daily Worker; William J. Patterson, a New York Negro; and Carl Winter, Michigan lead er. Paul Robeson, Negro singer who has been associated with many Communist activities, al so was there but was no on the program. Pilgrimage leaders specifically rejected any Communists aid in the fight for civil rights. There was a dispute over the number of persons who turned out for the three-hour session at the marble memorial. U.S. park police estimated the crowd at 15,000 while pilgrimage officials put it at 27,000. Both figures were far short of the 50,000 which had been predicted.

The extradition order was on a forgery charge. But Scott is also charged in California with slaying his missing wife, Eve lyn Throsby Scott, 63, and steal ing part of her $600,000 fortune. ApproT Waivtr Wayne County Circuit Judge Miles N. Culehan approved Scott's waiver of extradition on Friday and Federal Judge Thom as P. Thbrnton dismissed, a Federal fugitive warrant 'and ordered the US Marshal to re turn Scott's property, including $7,900 cash and a new car.
