The committee is so confused by the unexpected turn of events that it has obteined a two-weeks extension from the legislature for the filing of its report. Doctor Garcia made a splendid witness. He was calm, deliberate and well-informed. He dispelled any idea that might have existed that he is a "crackpot" or rabid rabble-rouser. Bob Smith and Doctor Gercim were supposed to see Governor Jester yesterday morning. Smith, by the way, came down to testify voluntarily and his presence was very helpful. Regardless of what the committee may decide the American G. I. Forum in- tends to publish the entire record in phamphlet form with an explanatory preface setting out the most essential points. Your participation in this matter, therefore, will be available for all to see, and, as a colored men asid, "Right is right, and you can't beat right.' Surely even the bekmighted State of Texas can recognize that what you did is precisely the sort of thing that will enable us to hold our own against disintegration from within. My very best regards to John. More power to you and God. blese you. E Sinpérely your friend, (Gus c. Garcia GCG/1ba [4 of8]
