Father's Day Sunday, June 21, the people of America and the world will observe that day and call it Father's Day. During the calendar year, there are many special days and weeks observed by the American people such as Children's Day, Mother's Day, etc. Now we are to pay a fitting tribute to fathers. It Is appropriate and altogether fitting to give proper recognition to the head of the home. The fathers have a gigantic responsibility to perform and how well they will discharge those duties or responsibilities will depend, in a great measure, on how much encouragement they receive from people they love by so doing. When trouble arises in the home, regardless to the description of it, the fathers are called upon to straighten it out. It may be an incorrigible child, or it may be a rent problem, a food or insurance problem whatever kind, the father is called upon to handle it. He can rightfully be termed the "trouble shooter" in the home, because in reality, that's what he is. When there is a problem of finding a way to send the boy or girl to college, we turn to father. So since he has so many problems and they are so difficult, give him a pat on the back this Sunday by telling him he's a good fellow, that he's doing a great job. That will gladden his heart and probably inspire him to do nobler things and not dream them all day long. On this Father's Day encourage the father's heart. If you are away from where he is, send him a letter, telegram or some other type of greeting. If it is possible and doesn't work too much of a hardship, visit with him this Sunday. He has a hard job to do and in these days of trials and tribulations, his job becomes extremely difficult. If you will take a little suggestion of contacting him by some means or viting with him on this Father's Day, you will encourage him to such an extent that he will never forget it and, in all probability, it will' inspire him to do a bigger and better job. If it is probable that you can, give him some token of appreciation, not a fancy or costly article, but just something. It's not the price of the token, but who sent it and the sentiment behind the sender. So let's everybody give father a great sendoff this Father's Day, which is Sunday, June 21st. Tallahassee Jury Hands In Its Verdict The foreman of the jury which convicted four white young men for the rape of a Negro coed down in Tallahassee, Florida, was quoted as saying the jury decided against the death penalty because there was no evidence of brutality shown. Written in the verdict,' and we quote: "On the basis of, the testimony before us there was evidence of threats with a gun and knife, but no brutality." In making this decision, we think the jury was begging the question. The accused were practically caught in the act– with the victim in a hysterical condition. And they apparently felt their offense would be lightly treated because they almost immediately admitted their guilt. And have never even charged any coercion in connection with their confession. Rape is a most brutal act and to find no brutality in this case is puzzling to us. On the other hand, it is wondered what could have been a more vicious type of brutality than a regimented sexual attack on the person of a young girl, even if no points of gun and knife threats were involved? But when one remembers the prosecutor's statement that the case should be treated the same as if "it was the other way around" and his failure to ask the jury any specific verdict or penalty, one can partially understand the verdict rendered. The prosecutor passed the buck to the jury and asked for no specific penalty It left everything to the jury. Normally in capital offense cases the prosecutor asks of the jury the penalty he thinks is warranted under the law and the evidence in the case. In other words, the prosecution did not follow up its own preamble in not asking a grove appraisal being placed upon the interpretation of the evidence proposed. It never at any time asked for the extreme penalty for the defendants, but contented itself to rock' along in such a manner in which the net results would even change the meaning of his words. Under the jury's verdict in this case, the defendants can get life imprisonment or a probationary sentence. Certainly this case should not take the letter course. The crime is too grave to be treated that lightly. Nevertheless, we are not so much concerned about the penalty as we are with the important principle of equal protection and justice under the law. Under the published evidence in this case and in the light of the law which covers the crime involved, we regret the verdict certainly covering two of the older defendants, does not come up to the equal protection requirements of law. But legal procedure has been carried out in this case and there is nothing else the voters can do about it until the next election in that county. Then they can render their verdict as to whether they approve or disapproved of the manner in which the case was prosecuted.

Barker © 1958, E. M. Barker published by arrangement with Post R. Reynolds & distributed by Features Syndicate. Trouble has broken out angels between old Neck Considine and Rachel Kilgore. The two have been at odds for forty year ever since they took terrible possession of large adjacent tracts of the open range in New Mexico Now some scrub longhorn bulls from the kilgore herds are loose on Considine land, killing or maiming prize Hereford. While two contending bulls were fighting a young girl who stopped to watch fell off her panicked horse and landed in a chilly creek Old Nick's nephew. Slade Considine; pulled her out and took her home to Nick's, house to get dry and, warm, Upon her introducing herself as Martha Kilgore, on her way to her Grandmother Rachel's ranch. Nick Considine flew into a rage. He ordered her out of his house When slade remonstrated. Nick told him to stay away from any of the Kilgore's or he disowned. Martha's arrival at her grandmother's ranch occurs during an argumentment of Rachel and a U. S. govrnment agent Captain Catlin. Rachel has told Catlin she'll shoot any Forest Ranger that steps on her' property. Subsequently, there's a message for Slade when he arrives in Barrnancas The hotel owner, Beulah Denhart tells Slade that Captain Catlin wants to see him and turns her attention to Wynn Thomson the rancher to whom, she Is engaged. . . . "MAYBE I'll have a chance to see Mrs. Kilgore's beautiful granddaughter tonight," Wynn said to Beulah Denhart. "The old lady's all heated up over this Forest Reserve business. She wants all us ranchers In the Chupaderos meet to talk it over. Even sent word to old Nick Considine to come. She asked to let them meet at my place because she knew Nick wouldn't come to the Walking K." The front door banged and Beulah got to her feet and went into the lobby. "Why, Bach!" she said, surprise and some displeasure in her voice as she eyed the ragged, dirty figure. Behind her, through the open sitting-room door, she heard Wynn Thomason's boots hit the floor. The man she had called Bacho looked at the girl through bleary eyes and tried to smile. "Wynn!" he said thickly. "I'm merely in search of my o'fren Wyhn." The girl looked at him with more pity than anger. Bacho (shortened from borracho, meaning drunkard) was what the West calls a remittance man. His high-born English family, embarrassed by the lavish crop of wild oats he insisted on sowing, had shipped him to America years ago to get rid of him. For a long time they had sent him a small monthly allowance to live on, but it had been some years now since the checks had stopped coming, and Bacho had drifted from one job to another, finally ending up as French Quebedeaux's sheepherder. He was a friendly, talkative, interesting man when sober, but his crazy love of liquor made him compoletely undependable. Most folks couldn't understand how the shorttempered, taciturn Frenchman had put up with him as long as he had. "Wynn!" he repeated. "You seen Wynn?" The cowboy in the doorway behind Beulah swore. He crowded his way past the girl and grasped Bacho by the arm. "Bacho! You know you've got no business coming to here! Get out!" The little sheepherder grinned up a him foolishly. "My ol' pal, Wynn! I says to myself fin my fr'en" Wynn. He'll buy me a drink." The cowboy's thin, dark face flushed. "Wynn and I are pals!" Bacho confided to the girl. "We got secrets! I'll tell you—" Wynn Thomason's grasp wasn't gentle. He seized the ragged coat collar, yanked Bacho around, and half shoved, half carried him across the room. He swung the door open, then with his right fist clipped the little herder a blow behind the ear that sent him sprawling into the street. Coming down the stairway inside the hotel, Slade Considine was just in time to see the finish. So too was Frenchy Quebedeaux, who had just made a round of the Saloons in search of his sheepherder. Now he took one look at Bacho, saw him begin to stir, and knew he wasn't badly hurt. Frenchy was big and burly, and tough. He came charging into the hotel like a bull seeing red. Wynn Thomason, half-way across the room toward the desk, turned in surprise. "You skonk! You snake on the grass!" Frenchy bellowed. "You heet Bacho when hee's dronk— by gonie's, I heet you! I theenk I like to keel you!" Frenchy rushed in. His big right arm clubbed Wynn in the stomach. Surprised by the complete suddenness of the attack, Wynn didn't even try to dodge. He sat down, holding a hand over his stomach, his head bent low, while he gasped to get breath. Frenchy danced around him, brandishing his fists, bellowing French swear words, begging him to get up. The cowboy raised his head, rubbed his forehead with the back of his fist as if to clear the mist from his eyes. Then with the suddenness of a cat springing on a mouse, his right hand went for the gun at his hip. Slade Considine jumped forward and kicked at it just as he squeezed the trigger. The bullet nicked off a tip of horn from a mounted deer head over the fireplace. Then Slade tackled the big Frenchman from the rear as, with a squeal of rage, Frenchy lunged forward as if he intended to finish the fight in a rolling rough and tumble on the floor. Beulah Denhart picked up the sixgun and tucked it into the pocket of her dress. "That's enough., all of you!" she said crisply. "This hotel is no place for a brawl!" The big Frenchman stopped struggling in Slade Considine's grasp. He looked at the girl and took off his hat. There Was sudden contrition on his big, goodlooking face, "I am essorry I lose my tamper!" The girl smiled at him "Sure, Frenchy! But don't hold this against Wynn. He didn't understand. He was afraid Bacho was bothering me," Frenchy twisted his hat in his big hands. "Sure teeing, mamoiselle! But you mus' never be afraid of Bacho! When hee's dronk hee's crazy, hee's foolish, but hee's never bad! He won't hurt you!" "I know that, Frenchy, the girl said quietly. She stopped, put an arm under Wynn Thomason's shoulder and helped him to his feet "But I can't have him coming in here drunk, just the same." Frenchy Quebedeaux stood for a moment watching her, in his eyes a kind of hungry longing. Then they moved to the ring on her finger, and it was as if a curtain had dropped over his face, shutting in all expression, as he turned away. "I take Bacho home now, I drop him in the horse trough an' sober him op. Then I keep him home awhile!" I'll go with 'you," Slade Considine said. "I want to talk to you, Frenchy." When they had gone Beulah turned to Wynn. "Get that look off of your face!" she said sharply. "You had it coming to you!"' "That's a fine thing for you to say to the man you're engaged to marry! I thought you'd at least stick by me!" The girl smiled almost bitterly, "I did. Didn't you hear me lie to Frenchy? You don't think for a minute that I thought you hit Bacho to keep him from bothering me, do you?" She came closer, put her hands on his shoulders. "Wynn, what's ailing you lately? You're as grouchy as a bear. We used to have fun together—we used to talk but now you never tell me anything anymore. What was it Bacho started to—" He caught her hands off his shoulders, and- shoved her away from him. "What the devil do you think there is to tell? I get up at six, ride all day, come home, cook my supper and go to bed, day after day. I work like the devil, an' I'm not even making enough money to get married!" The girl shrugged as she walked back round the desk. "Well, we sure sound married anyhow." Her face was thoughtful as she went back into her little living room. Wynn wouldn't forget this. Wynn was a regular Indian when it came to holding grudges. She wished Bacho hadn't made that crack about telling her some of Wynn's secrets. () What has HAPPENED By E. M. Barker © 1958, E. M.

"Sure teeing, mamoiselle! But you mus' never be afraid of Bacho! When hee's dronk hee's crazy, hee's foolish, but hee's never bad! He won't hurt you!" "I know that, Frenchy, the girl said quietly. She stopped, put an arm under Wynn Thomason's shoulder and helped him to his feet "But I can't have him coming in here drunk, just the same." Frenchy Quebedeaux stood for a moment watching her, in his eyes a kind of hungry longing. Then they moved to the ring on her finger, and it was as if a curtain had dropped over his face, shutting in all expression, as he turned away. "I take Bacho home now, I drop him in the horse trough an' sober him op. Then I keep him home awhile!" I'll go with 'you," Slade Considine said. "I want to talk to you, Frenchy." When they had gone Beulah turned to Wynn. "Get that look off of your face!" she said sharply. "You had it coming to you!"' "That's a fine thing for you to say to the man you're engaged to marry! I thought you'd at least stick by me!" The girl smiled almost bitterly, "I did. Didn't you hear me lie to Frenchy? You don't think for a minute that I thought you hit Bacho to keep him from bothering me, do you?" She came closer, put her hands on his shoulders. "Wynn, what's ailing you lately? You're as grouchy as a bear. We used to have fun together—we used to talk but now you never tell me anything anymore. What was it Bacho started to—" He caught her hands off his shoulders, and- shoved her away from him. "What the devil do you think there is to tell? I get up at six, ride all day, come home, cook my supper and go to bed, day after day. I work like the devil, an' I'm not even making enough money to get married!" The girl shrugged as she walked back round the desk. "Well, we sure sound married anyhow." Her face was thoughtful as she went back into her little living room. Wynn wouldn't forget this. Wynn was a regular Indian when it came to holding grudges. She wished Bacho hadn't made that crack about telling her some of Wynn's secrets. () Atlanta Ordered lature "sufficient time" to act upon the plan submitted by the school board. Hooper said that if the school board complies with the decree, and the plan is approved by the court "defendants would have done all they are able to do under the circumstances." "The court will do everything in its power toward working out any possible solution to this matter within the framework of the law as declared upon repeated occasions by our appellate courts." The defendants have been waiting for this final decree before filing their intentions to appeal Hooper's decision. The case was conside red so significant that Hooper took the unusual step of asking a fellow judge, Boyd Sloan, to sit with him while testimony was heard. Hooper emphasized that the federal court has neither duty nor power to order integration but that is "compelled to enjoin racial discrimination." Neither, he said, is it the function of the court to suggest to the school board how discrimination can best be eliminated. He said the court assumes that any plan submitted would "contemplate a gradual process, which would contemplate a careful screening of each applicant to determine his or her fitness to enter the school" to which application was made. He recalled that the supreme, court in the 1954 school decision spoke of "deliberate speed" and he said his court, interprets that expression "to mean such speed as is consistent with the welfare of all our people, with the maintenance of law and order and with the preservation if possible of our common school system." He said that by custom and practice separate schools had been mainitained in Georgia for many years with the approval of the highest courts "and it cannot rapidly and suddenly be ended." Hooper said that numerous witnesses in the trial phase of the case added to the mountain of evidence that segregation is the practice in Atlanta despite courtroom denials by defense attorneys. "Even the most ardent segregationists have now acknowledged that the Brown decision (the 1954 school case)is the law of the land," Hooper said. "Legislatures in many states including Georgia have since the rendition of that decision been passing legislation seeking to avoid its consequences." "For this court to declare as law that which is not law would be not only a futile gesture but a great disservice to our people. "It would add to the confusion already existing in the publics mind, it would build up hopes destined to be destroyed on appeal, and it would delay the efforts now being made by our people to find the best solution possible to a critical and urgent problem."

COLLINS SAYS ASSAULT TRIAL FAIR Collins refused to comment on the justness of the jury's recommendation of mercy, which saved the young rapists from the electric chair. No white man has ever been electrocuted in Florida for raping a Negro woman. Collins said any expression by him on the verdict would be improper, inasmuch as motions for new trials, possible appellate review and appeals to the state pardon board may be made. Attorneys have until June 29 to ask for a new trial. So far, only one has said definitely that he will. Harry Micheals attorney for 20-year-old Patrick Scarborough, said he will ask a new trial. John Rudd, court - appointed lawyer for Ollie Stoutamire, 16 said he might. S. Gunter Toney and Howard Williams, representing David Beagles, 18, and Willon T. Collinsworth, 23, said "they are inclined to think they will not. Toney said he might appeal to a higher court for a lesser term, depending on what sentences' is imposed. All four pleaded innocent, claiming the young Negro coed whose name is protected from publiccation by Florida law, consented to the mass intercourse after they abducted her from her boyfriend at gunpoint. The fate of the youths now is entirely in the hands of Trial Judge, W. May Walker who can hand out any sentence from a stern lecture and probation to life in prison.
