Detroit - m - Negroes plan
a massive proteit march In
downtown Detroit later this
month and expect 100,000
persons to take part in the
peaceful demonstration.
The demonstration is sched
uled to be held June 23 in
sympathy of the plight of
southern Negroes. It also
marks the 20th anniversary
of a vicious race riot that
ripped the Motor City and
left 35 dead before it was
brought under control.
Racial tension is a part of
the everyday life of the na
tion's fifth largest city where
the Negro population has in'
creased to 30 per cent of the
total.
Some Negroes say the un
rest is reaching the critical
point and 'ethers say they
frankly do not know. Police
Commissioner George Ed
wards said that "the thing
normally termed as racial
tension is not too great in
Detroit."
Negro Leaders Agree
But he added. "This is
big city and the possibility of
trouble always exists."
Negro leaders agree that
anything can happen.
"We can't project with any
certainty a serious outbreak
of racial conflict in Detroit
but we have potential for
serious trouble," Arthur L.
Johnson, executive director
of the Detroit chapter of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peo
ple, said.
Francis A. Kornegay, ex
ecutive director of the De
troit Urban league, echoed
his sentiments.
"It seems to be an explo
sive situation," he said. "For
years things have not been
well and Negroes have swal
lowed things that should not
exist. When fires are set off
in other parts of the country
things sometimes get set off
here. It's a chain reaction,
frankly don't know what's
going to happen."
Statistics Tell Story
A look at statistics could
best explain the situation:
-In 1830, the total popula
tioi. of Detroit was 1,840,868
persons, and 300,506 were
Negroes. But the 1960 census
showed the population of the
city dropped to 1,670,144 and
the Negro population rose to
482,222.
-About two - thirds of the
men and women prosecuted
for criminal offenses in De
troit are Negroes.
-About 80 per cent of the
persons on relief in Detroit
are Negroes.
-Seventeen per cent of the
city's Negro population is un
employed compared with
about S per cent of the white
population.
At the last count, when
the Negro population of the
city was 350,750, almost one
third, 105.000 of them, were
jammed into a smill area on
the near East !de. Johnson
said he expelled the propor
tion would be valid today.
Chief Concern
The Negro in Detroit feels
chief concern in three areas:
housing, education and Jobs.
Negro leaders to a man feel
that these are the things that
are keeping the "Negro the
second class citizen."
Rev. C. L. Franklin, pastor
of a Baptist church and chair
man of the newly formed De-
troit Council on Human
Rights, said racial troubles in
Birmingham have caused a
great deal of uneasiness
among the Negro community.
It is this group that is or
ganizing the demonstrations
this month.

IT'S YOUR LAW
, RrtnKt be Law Malm Dfiwecy Itot
Editor's notei The following
article has been prepared by
the Oregon State Bar as a
public service and Is not in
tended as legal advice. Per
sons having a legal problem
are advised to consult an
attorney.
HABEAS CORPUS
CORPUS DELICTI
Two legal phrases which
arc probably more mtiundcr
stood and misused by laymen
than any other are "habeas
corpus" and "corpus delicti.'
Ine words habeas corpus
lire Latin for "you have the
body." They are commonly
used in the legal profession to
describe a writ or order
signed by the Judge directed
to the sheriff or jailer hold
ing a prisoner or to any per
son who is physically detain
ing another, and commanding
him to produce the body
(alive) of the prisoner (or per
son detained) before the
judge. The purpose of such
an order Is to allow the Judge
to determine whether the
prisoner is being held lw
fully or whether he should be
set free.
The writ of habeas corpus
prevents law enforcement of
ficers from abusing the con
stitutional right of personal
liberty and has been a Jeal
ously guarded privilege.
The words "corpus delicti"
are Latin,- and, liberally
translated, mean the elements
of the crime or wrongdoing.
Laymen incorrectly interpret
corpus delicti as meaning lib
erally "the body," as In a
murder ease.
Must Be Proved
apeaxing tecnmcany in a
legal sense, corpus delicti is
that whtvh must be proved in
every criminal caw. Such
proof must show that an un
lawful act has been commit
ted anrf that it has been com- i
mttted by a human agency.
The mere finding of a deud
body or a burning building
does not mean that there Is
murder on the one hand or
arson on the other. To prove
murder, It must be shown
that the death was unlawfully
caused by a human agency.
Contrary to popular belief
murder can be proved even
though the body cannot be
found. In the case of the burn
ing building, It must be
shown that the building was
unlawfully set on fire by a
human agency.
To sum up then, habeas
corpus is a writ designed to
prevent the unlawful deten
tion or Imprisonment of any
person Corpus delicti, on the
other hand, literally means
the body of the crime, or, In
general, the substance of
crime.
