Under the Rules of the Supreme Court, including Rule 21 and 

Rule 24 (4) thereof, the petitioners are required to file a trans- 

cript of the record in the case or cases sought to be reviewed 

upon certiorari, which would, in these cases, include the entire 

appellate record of pleadings, proceedings, judgments, orders, etc. 

and the record in the United States District Court for the Southern 

 



  

District of Mississippi, which became a part of the record of 

the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upon appeal thereto 

by the appellants. 

You are hereby requested to certify and transmit to the 

Supreme Court of the United States the entire record in these 

proceedings in accordance with the Rules of the Supreme Court of

Respectfully submitted,
