A Negro home was bombed in Coronado last week where tension between races has been mounting since the first Negro families moved into homes in the section over a fortnight ago. The Norfolk NAACP branch and other organizations have asked police protection for families moving into the area, but the county sheriff and commonwealth's attorney were studying a three-week-old request for action to prevent violence. The bombing followed by a week a previous attempt to dynamite the house. It was the most serious attempt to date to terrorize colored families who recently bought homes in the section. The whites seemingly are trying to bluff Negroes out, bully them out, burn them out or in the last resort, bomb them out. All things have been tried and Negro families are remaining. The general consensus among native Negro leaders is that Negro families in Coronado are to stay.

PLUMBING RIPPED
When Negro families bought property in the Brambleton section of Norfolk, some groups tried to make it appear that the street burning of Rev. J. H. Mann 10:30 p.m., May 26 - was due to white opposition to Negroes moving in. Fortunately no one was hurt by the explosion. In fact, to date, no one has been seriously hurt. However, another Negro home was entered, plumbing ripped out, and the place flooded before the family was to move into the home.
