U.S. Jury Considers Parker Lynching According to reliable press reports, the Department of Justiec, angered by lack of state action against the lynchers of Mack Parker, began efforts Monday to bring the accused parties to justice. It is said that a 23-man federal Grand Jury was to be picked to probe the lynching of the 23-year-old pulpwood worker, with probably some Negroes on the panel. It is also said that those mentioned in the 378-page FBI report Which consumed weeks of investigation and were later turned Over to the Pearl River County Grand Jury Which failed to indict anybody for the outrage, will be called. Seeing that such ah outrage was not being given proper treatment, the Justice Department moved in. From the testimony scheduled by every person mentioned in The huge folder it might be possible to ascertain those responsible for the crime committed on society. The Department of Justice gave ample time to the Pearl River County Grand Jury for action. At first it was stated, and so seen by the Department, that no federal law was violated. Accordingly the massive document was turned over to the Pearl River Grand Jury, to get no action. Thusly, there is encouragement in that when state and county officials fail to do little or nothing about such an internal outrage, the court of last resort is not asleep to these indifferences. The Steel Strike Is Settled That the nation was spared the predicament of the hard fought-out steel strike going through into the deep freeze of another struggle past the 80-day cooling off period. This is directly a compliment to the fine efforts put forth by the President and Vice President Richard M. Nixon, and the Department of labor Secretary Mitchell. The strike almost crippled the building program in the midst of a great housing shortage. Industry, using steel and its byproducts, was feeling the pinch. Thousands were laid off while plants were closing every day. President Eisenhower rightly assumed that the responsibility of the nation's economic welfare was vested in the U.S. government. He watched with avidity the struggle as it pressed toward economic disruption and to save the situation he applied the Taft-Hartley measure, resuming production. Few times has any strike ever drifted into the deep freeze of another strike beyond the 80-day period of an armistice. We are proud that the nation at least breathes relief and that our enterprises may move forward with our people finding their original jobs. Vice President Nixon assumed personal means for the settling of the strike. In that he proved his steel as an arbiter and able negotiator. There is no wonder that so sane and upright an individual as Gov, Nelson Rockefeller of New York, observed that Mr. Nixon had rightly earned the right to run for the Presidency without an opposing candidate in the nominating convention. Now, let the steel industry resume normal operations and labor give the highest, efficient production so the public can be spared additional and inflationary costs. The Nation Mourns An Alarming Road Toll It is with regret that the nation stands to mourn a new highway death mark during the New Year's weekend. The road toll alone registers some 360. In addition to this high cost of celebrations, 59 died of fires and 81 in miscellaneous mishaps. This would press the total to 500 with more casualties to come in. During the year just closed the death toll on weekends and regular holidays caused such criticism of the abuse of these feast days, that it was being suggested that this price in lives and property damages was too high. With highway patrol on the guard and the improved makes of machines oh the road, equipped with the latest safety devices, It is strange that common sense and due caution and fare for the lives and limbs of others, do not effect a better account of the American practice of making merry over holiday feast days. To date, the state of Michigan is in the lead with 32 traffic deaths. Thirteen persons reported dead on Georgia highways during the New Year holiday period, bring the total for the year to 972. The ambition of the Highway Safety Department of the State of Georgia to bring the 1960 death toll at least 100 below what it was in 1959 should find cooperation in every person using the highways. Highway Department head Col. Trotter said: "Last December was the fourth consecutive month we showed a decrease in fatalities, We plan a continuation of stricter enforcement throughout the state." With this warning, he seeks the cooperation of everybody using the highways. A fine New Year's resolution would be in keeping with this move to rid the speed fiends and sundry violators of the codes of the highway, causing such an alarming rate of deaths on our weekend celebrations and the observance of our national holidays. Begin now and make every day and every weekend a traffic observance effort. Medic Says Doctors Should Admit They Work For Funds Physicians should admit freely they are in medicine to earn a living and not only to save lives and ease pain, Dr. George S. Pettis said Tuesday. "One would think that our financial compensation is an illegitimate, offspring of our profession," Pettis said in an editorial in the Pennsylvania Medical Journal. "We claim that we are interested in saving lives and easing the pain of suffering humanity and only coincidentally in the compensation we receive. What nonsense." Pettis said physicians constantly" are "chafing about the controls placed upon our practice of medicine within our ranks." He added that they should "remember that the private pratice of medicine is not a private concession run by doctors for doctors. We exist only because we have patients. When we can't meet our patients' need for real and cooperative interest, some outside force is certain to move in." Man Jailed For Dope Sale To Minor A Negro man named Sylvester Weekly was jailed last week on a complaint of selling marijuana cigarettes to a minor, police reported. Weekly was arrested after police found a small amount of the weed on him. He sold the marijuana cigarettes to a 16-year-old boy. Judge Sloan plained that he entered the Doubs House, Inc., airport restaurant in August of 1959 with his party for the purpose of securing a meal under the authority of an airline meal authorization ticket. Coke said he was about to be seated at a table near the center of the restaurant when hostess approached and told him there was a table behind a screen where "yourpeople are served." Coke said the hostess then directed him to a single corner table segregated behind a screen "for the purpose of serving Negroes' and refused to serve him on the same basis as white passengers. Coke said that at the time of the incident complained of he was delayed in Atlanta by a late-arriving plane that was to take him to an insurance convention in Columbus, Ohio. Judge Sloan, prefaced his decision by saying that "this court is bound by the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court and the decisions of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He added that "when a provision of the Constitution or a law has been construed or declared by either the Supreme Court of the United States or the U. S. Court of Appeals for this circuit, this court is not thereafter free to construe or declare such provision of the Constitution or law differently even though this Court should believe it should be differently construed or declared, but is bound by the decisions of such courts. The latest federal court order was the fourth such desegregation decision to be handed down by the tribunal here since January of 1959. In comparatively rapid-fire succession, the U. S. District Court here has spelled out death for "legal" racial segregation in the University System of Georgia, seating segregation on Atlanta trolleys and busses, racial discrimination in public schools of Atlanta, and now the airport and airport restaurant decision. The airport Issue brings to a close the civil actions now final action pending in federal court here in connection with the desegregation of school and transportation facilities.

TOUGH SADDLE By MATT STUART © By Matt Stuart. 1959: from the Dodd, Mead & Co. novel: distributed by King Features Syndicate. THOROUGHLY rested by a full night of sleep in his own bed, Doc Jerome brought his buckboard to a stop in front of the Running M ranchhouse and noppod spryly out. Mandy Madison stood on the porch to greet him, and she too showed evidence of a good rest. "It I may say so, Mandy," Doc remarked cheerfully, "you're looking uncommonly fine this morning. Evidently all goes well with the patient?" Mandy nodded, her lips quivering ever so slightly. "He's conscious, Doctor. He spoke to me." "No! Why, the big, tough sonot-a-gun! Let's have a look at him." Nels Madison was conscious, all right, and he showed a wan smile as Doc bent over him. Scolding with friendly affection, Doc got a mild opiate n him and by the time all was ready for a look at the wound and the placing of a fresh dressing, Nels was sound asleep. Outside, speeding hoofs beat a fast approaching echo across the plain. Doc cocked his head, listening, then growled. "Now what? I'm getting jumpy, for every time I hear fast traveling hoofs, I see visions of more like Nels. And they can't all be that lucky." Doc hurried out and Mandy followed. Over at one of the corrals, Rupe Hahn showed and stood wondering. And the three of them watched Link Asbell come in fast on a sweating buckskin. He had his look at Doc's buckboard, then stepped from his saddle and turned toward the house. Doc nodded and murmured, "I knew it!" He raised his voice. "Link—you're after me?" "After you, Doc," came the curt answer. "And lucky to find you here. If you're done with Nels for a little tune, we'll be riding." "Who for, and where to?" Doc demanded. Asbell jerked a thumb across his shoulder. "The Saddlebacks again, For Frank Dalmar." "Frank Dalmar! You mean— you and Frank tangled?" "No," Asbell said. "Frank and Wiley Goss." "Be damned!" sputtered Doc. "A Shootout?" "That's it. A Shootout" "But—but Goss rides for Double Diamond. Why should he and Frank—?" "I don't know," Asbell cut in. "At least not all of it But I figure that can wait until later. First thing now is to get Frank fixed up so we can move him I'll put a saddle on a bronc for you, Doc." "Where's Frank hit, and how bad?" Asbell indicated the two spots. "Both six-gun slugs." "How about Goss," asked Doc, "didn't he get hit at all?" Asbell hesitated, then laid the fact cold. "He's dead. I killed him. Now get your gear, Doc. We're riding." At the corrals, Asbell explained briefly to Rupe Hahn. "Better come along, Rupe. May need your help. And we'll need an extra bronc. We'll use a blanket pack between two horses to bring Frank in. Providing he's still alive." They were soon ready. As Doc and Rupe headed out, Rupe leading the extra horse, Asbell swung over to the porch where Mandy Madison stood, watching it all gravely. "Be all right if we bring Frank here, Mandy? There were a couple of things he said which hinted he could be on our side in this affair." "Of course you can bring him here," Mandy answered. "He's a hurt human. The rest doesn't matter, Link." When later, Link Asbell and Doc Jerome and Rupe Hahn got back to Running M with a live man riding mummy-like in a blanket slung between two horses, and a dead man across the saddle of another, it was Tom Grant who came down off the ranchhouse porch to meet them. "Link," he said gravely, our good world seems to have gone crazy." "Not the world, Tom," Asbell answered. "Just some of those in it." They carried Frankd Dlmar into the bunkhouse and Doc said to Rupe Hahn: Tll want hot water, Rupe— lots ot it And I mean—hot! Tell Mandy I'll need her, too. Nels is over the hump, now, so she can spare a little time away from him. I got to go after lead again, and with the experience she had helping with Nels, she'll know what to do." Rupe hurried out and Doc turned to Asbell, "What about Wiley Goss?" "I'm taking him out and laying him down on Jonas Dalmar's doorstep." "Not" barked Doc sharply. "That wouldn't be smart—not smart at all. I'll take him into town with me, later, and send word to Double Diamond for them to come and get him." Asbell shook his head. "Which would leave Big Five still turning the other cheek, and we're all done with that Frank opened up to me a little. I told you he said Goss was the one who shot Packy' Lane and Nels Madison. So I'm laying Goss right in Jonas Dalmar's, lap and saying 'Here's your killer. How much did you have o pay him?'" "You do that, you'll Break things wide open." "Things are wide open now. And with the proof I got from Frank, I'm going to get word through to Sheriff Hatfield and demand action. I'll want that affidavit of yours on Packy Lane, Doc. Where is it?" "Charley Tunnison's got it. I still say you should stay away from Double Diamond headquarters. Else you'll be the next I'll be working on." Asbell shrugged. "Never borrow trouble, Doc." Tom Grant, watching and listening, spoke up. "Now I think I'll ride out to Double Diamond with you, Link. Asbell looked at him. "No sense you getting into this thing." Tom Grant waved a dismissing hand, "My friend, you waste your breath." Link Asbell knew exactly what was in Tom Grant's mind. With him along, Double Diamond would hardly dare strike openly at Asbell. That would be Tom Grant's thought and it was plain he would not be dissuaded m his intention. "If you're going to be stubborn about it, we might as well head out," Asbell grumbled. "You won't need us, Doc?" "No. This won't be as rough a Job as it was with Nels. But see that you don't go making a proud fool of yourself." Some of the bleakness about Asbell's eyes broke up. "Reckon I've often been a fool. Doc. But never a proud one. All right, Tom." They went out, and there, just a little way from the bunkhouse. Sue Vincent stood, her eyes very big and sober. As Asbell and Tom approached, Sue turned. Tom Grant, an understanding man, drifted to one side while Asbell went on up to her. "Rough on you, Sue—all this," Asbell said. "Yes," she admitted. "But— but be patient with me, Link. I'm beginning to grow up. Now I must go help with Frank." Asbell watched her turn into the bunkhouse, then went to his horse and with Tom Grant, rode out into the plain, with a horse at lead, carrying a dead man. © By Matt Stuart, 1959; from the Dodd, Mead & Co. novel; distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Worried Neighbors Help Evicted "footless" Man A 39-year-old slum dweller who is sickened by a disease that has practically eaten away his feet was evicted from his apartment Wednesday and set out in the street by his landlords. Worried neighbors flooded the police Station with calls Tuesday asking that something be done about the sick man. Police were dispatched to the scene and the homeless man was taken to Grady Hospital for treatment of the undiagnosed disease. When police arrived on the scene, they said a crowd of people were standing around the man as he sat in the street exposed to the weather while apparently suffering the pain and anguish that accompanied Ms illness. Police said they noticed quilts around the man's feet when they arrived. They said they removed the covering and were nearly repelled by the sight of a man's feet literally crumbling away. The officers said they guessed that the man either suffered with athlete's feet or "jungle riot." They said the decision to send him to Grady Hospital was made when it was discovered that he needed medical care badly and that his nearest relatives were located in a small Alabama city. None of the man's neighbors, police said, would assume the responsibility of caring for the sick victim, so Grady Hospital appeared to be the only answer. Detectives who investigated the incident determined from their observation that the area where the man was found was a Blum area where "the housing standards are below par and generally in an unhealthy and fthy condition." Stubborn Fight ances that, unless they enter into a compromise with the Southerners, the Senate will be tied up by a long filibuster in a year when both Republicans and Democrats will hold their conventions to nominate Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates. Senator Johnson faces two dangers, which he must avoid if his campaign for the Presidential nomination of his party is to get off the ground. He cannot afford to drive the Southerners out of his camp by allowing the Senate to pass legislation backed by the Senate bipartisan liberal bloc, headed by Senators Paul Douglas, Illinois Democrat, arid Jacob K. Javits, New York Republican. Nor can he afford to hold the Senate down to passage of a palliative or meaningless piece of legislation. If that occurs he will further alienate support of the Northern wing of the Democrat party. Without the support of the Northerners, he stands no chance of getting the nomination. On the House side, the Rules Committee can be made to disgorge the civil rights bill Chairman Smith can be forced to call a meeting of the committee to act on the bill, or the House may discharge the Rules Committee from further consideration of the measure. Under House rules, if the chairman of a committee, after three days' consideration, refuses or fails, upon the request of at least three members of the committee, to call a special meeting within seven days from the date of the request, then, upon the filing with the clerk of the committee of a written and signed request of a majority of the committee for a called special meeting of the committee, the committee shall meet on the day and hour specified in the request. The committee has 12 members, four of whom are Republicans, four are Southerners, and four are Northern. Democrats. With Repesentative Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, House Republican floor leader, openly seeking the Vice Presidential nomination of his party, it will not be difficult to get Halleck to have the four Republicans join the four Northern Democrats in calling a special meeting and voting a rule for consideration civil rights legislation. With Hawaii and Alaska admitted to statehood, it will probably require 219 or 220 signatures to a petition to discharge the Rules Committee from further consideration of the bill. A discharge petition the Rules Committee is on the desk of the Clerk of the House and has more than 100 signatures to it. a number of Senators, including Senator Clifford, P. Case, New Jer sey Republican, believe that the House will have to act first on civil rights legislation. The House -approved bill would then be intercepted before it is referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which, under Eastland's chairmanship, has been the graveyard of civil rights legislation. Both Senators Kenneth B. Keating, New York Republican, and Case believe there are enough votes in the Senate to keep a House approved bill from being sent to the Judiciary Committee. The bill, which the House Judiciary, Committee approved, was emasculated. ANSWERING SERVICE 24 HOURS PER DAY Takes, your telephone calls . . . Reminds you of appointments ... . Wakes you up.

"Overall; the educational require ments of Jobs will be rising all across the board." Recent Soviet scientific and technical achievements are bringing about a reappraisal of the U. S. educational methods, Mr. Mitchell noted. "This developing sense of crisis in educational circles is based on the awareness that education has assumed a new dimension — that of a competitive instrument, a weapon, if you will, in the struggle between open and dosed societies," the Secretary pointe dout. However, he warned that "we should not make of our educational system a crash program in an intarnational race for a special kind of brain."

PITTSBURGH STEEL As the Steelworkers Union's 33man executive board voted unanimously Tuesday to accept a new contract ending the eight - monthold steel dispute the first concrete management objection to the industry-wide steel settlement was raised by Pittsburgh Steel Co. The firm said in Pittsburgh that it would not go along with the agreement, "until adjustments are made in our out-of-line incentiue rates. Although the industry's dispute is ended our dispute is not ended." Wilkins Sees realize the importance of the Negro vote," Mr. Wilkins asserted. "They have good erason to doubt that Negro voters will support Senator Johnson or anyone with his background and - record, despite their high regard for Mr. Truman The real test will be whether or not Senator Johnson, as majority leader, can get any meaningful civil rights legislation through Congress this session," the NAACP leader declared. Other highlights of the decade cited by Mr. Wilkins included the growing strength and flexibility of the Negro vote; the 1950 Supreme Court decision banning exclusion of Negroes from tax - supported universities; the courage of southern Negroes in pursuit of civil rights despite intimidions therats and reprisals; and the persistence of the lynching evil in the State of Mississippi. Theodore Johnson College. After graduating, he taught at Hyde Park Elementary School seven years before being leveled to a teaching principal, at Kortrecht four months ago. Johnson is a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, LeMoyne Alumni Association, and Hill's Chapel Baptist Church. His wife, Mrs. Anna Mae Johnson, is a freshman at LeMoyne College. They are the parents of seven children — six sons and one daughter. They reside at 1543 Wabash Ave. Burglar Is also accused of stealing a shirt and a pair, of trousers from Greener's Department Store on North Memphis at Firestone and the attempted burglary of the TG & Y variety store at 1294 Thomas. FBI agents had waived jurisdiction in the bank incident because of the size of the theft. The banks deposits are insured by a Federal, agency and this was the reason for the FBI interest. Police said Spencer, who was, a bus boy at Hotel Peabody before quitting several days ago, served a two-year prison term in 1953 for stealing and selling Government property. He was in the Army at the time. NIGERIAN ATOM SCIENTIST RETURNS HOME Dr. B. CC.
