"Murdered" Man Reported Alive; Police Hold Confessed Slayer Miss Thompson, who identified herself as Paul Davul, 22, a Canadian-born, a mannish-looking young woman, walked into the Police Headquarters in Oakland last Wednesday with a thirty-two calibre pistol tucked in to the waistband of her slacks, and said she shot and killed Leer Larkins, a Detroit artist. At the time of her arrest, Miss Thompson alias Paul Davul told Oakland police Larkins moved to Oakland first and sent for her and her roommate, a Miss Janet Robinson; 20, to join him in the west. She stated that she met Larkins in Little Rook, Ark., and the two worked together on a church mural. They rode around town, she said, and argued about her friendship with Miss Robinson, her roommate. As they sat in the car, she shot Larkins twice in his abdomen. Then she said she drove the car with Larkins' body in it, to a bus station where she had arranged to meet Miss Robinson, her roommate. Miss Thompson is reported to have quoted the Miss Robinson as saying "Don't worry, I'll get rid of the body." She said Miss. Robinson, her roommate, put the body into the trunk of the auto and drove off. It was reported that the Miss Thompson, who said that she was a well-known abstract artist who had murdered a friend turned out to be a telephone operator who hadn't killed anybody. It was further reported that Miss Thompson was sent to a hospital for psychiatric test. One report states that police learned that Leer Larkins whom Miss Thompson said she had shot in the stomach, had been seen alive in Oklahoma. They also found out that Janet Robinson,20, had not driven off with the "victim's" body. Miss Robinson was working as a clerk in a drugstore in Cabot, Ark, According to reports, subsequent checks showed that the "body" was very much alive in Oklahoma and that Miss Robinson was in Arkansas, both unaware they weer principals in the "killing." The whole thing was a "figment" of Miss Thompson's "imagination," a police is reported to have said. The clincher, was a postcard uncovered at a hotel in Little Rock, Arkansas, where Miss Thompson formerly worked as a telephone operator. It was sent by Larkins from Sayre, Oklahoma, the day Miss Thompson said she had commit ted the murder here. The reported killing of Larkins, former Dean of a Photographic School, World Traveler and Artist is not being termed a hoax by Oakland Police authorities. Chief Dives denied that Miss Thompson or Davul girl had been committed to a hospital under care of a psychiatrist. He said "we still have not found the body—and the girl is still in our custody." Miss Thompson touched off a widespread search when she told Oakland Police she had killed Larkins in an argument over the friendship of Miss Robinson. Larkins who formerly resided in Detroit, Michigan Memphis. Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas, claims to be a relative of Haille Selasie of Ethiopia and declares he is a native of Africa.

Assistant Police Chief U. T. Vartholomew said the trouble was the outgrowth of a pitched battle Sunday night between five Negroes and three whites at Chelsea and Hollywood. The arrested Negroes told Police it wasn't a "matter of black and white ......... nothing to do with race." However, George M. Hill, Special officer in the Hollywood community, said the trouble "has been coming on for years." "Both sides are to blame. It's half the fault of the whites. Groups form and push one another around....... it's been happening for years," he said.

GOP Labels Sparkman As 'Race Baiter' The Republican National Committee Tuesday called Democratic Vice Presidential nominee John Sparkman "a race baiter" and "another Bilbo" who will never win the Negro vote. A Committee spokesman quoted the Alabama Senator as having said: 'I am against the civil rights proposals (in the Democratic platform)—always have been and always will be." The spokesman asked: "How can 'Sparkman, a race baiter, be for any civil rights after such statements?" He did not say when the Alabaman made the remark, but Sparkman was instrumental in the drafting of this year's Democratic platform. In a statement issued by the GOP committee, the spokesman, Val P. Washington, declared: "Any attempt to sell a race-baiting Sparkman to Negroes is certain to fail. The greatest test of liberalism is "'where you stand on the question of first class citizenship for our largest minority, the American Negro.' On his own statements, Sparkman is another Bilbo." The late Sen. Bilbo (D) Miss, was for many years considered the nation's most violently outspoken foe of civil rights. Washington also lashed out at the CIO. He accused it of trying to "confuse" Negroes into voting for the Stevenson-Sparkman ticket by putting out "bunks" trying to prove the Democratic candidates are their friends.
