Negro Couple Is Target Of Racists Who Thought Their Adopted Baby White SAN ANTONIO, Texas — A Negro couple here last week told how their life became a day-to-day horror after race haters accused them of robbing the cradle of lily-white purity. T h e couple, Sgt. a n dM r s . H a r vey A . Collins, t w om o n t h s a g o w e r e publicized as having adopted i n G e r m a n y a " w h i t e " child. Since then they have been t h e targets o f abuse a n d poisonpen letters. AS A M A T T E R O F RECORD, the couple wants t o point o u t that their adopted child is o f G e r m a n - N e g r o parentage.

Mrs. Collins declared that s h e is s u r e t h e r e p o r t e r i n t e n d e d n o harm, h a dn o ulterior motives, but they have "suffered persecution from t h ehands o fso m a n y biased a n d prejudiced people here i n Texas."
