Every WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY at 546 BEALE — Ph. JA. 6-4030 Member of SCOTT NEWSPAPER SYNDICATE W. A. Scott, II, Founder; C. A. Scott, General Manager Entered in the Post Office at Memphis, Tenn. as second-class mail under the Act of Congress, March 1, 1870 STANLEY S. SCOTT Managing Editor ROBERT MORRIS Circulation Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Year $5.00 — 6 Months $3.00 — 3 Months $1.50 (In Advance) The MEMPHIS WORLD is an independent newspaper — non-sectarian and non-partisan, printing news unbiasedly and supporting those things it believes to be of interest to its readers and opposing those things against the interest of its readers. Now, Bring On The Fifth Debate Now that the "Famous Fifth" Debate is in the air with the prospects that there is on tap further enlightenment on this unprecedented media of campaigning; let the country look forward with hopes that it may materialize; that the two contenders for the presidency might further aid the people in deciding which at least has the best grasp on our international relations and those pointers that will in all probability prolong and guarantee the peace and prosperity. For if the peace is lost-all is lost. Fortunately, again for the populace, Vice President Nixon is asking that the forensic comprise the Cuban situation, which will bring along first hand information to millions of voters who do not fully understand the Castro regime following the overthrow of the Batista government. This will of course be known as the "famous fifth" because this situation around which the discussion will center is right at our back door, in hollering distance of the mainland of Florida and South Georgia. The people will have the opportunity of listening in on a discussion which will have much to do with the keeping of the peace. The Vice President says that Senator Kennedy's policy for Cuba would rather invite war than obviate it; that Russia would have an open invitation to come in if we intervened directly. The people, before casting their ballots would be interested in the brass tacks in this foreign policy question and we hope the fifth and final debate will cover it. A Shocking Action The refusal of a DeKalb County Judge to modify or reverse his ruling Tuesday that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., serve four months in prison for allegedly violating a prior twelve months suspended sentence in connection with a traffic matter is received by us as a shock. News that Dr. King had been sent to the Reidsville State Prison even before the judge heard the case for reconsideration of the sentencing makes the action more appalling. The defense attorney pointed out the original twelve-month suspended sentence was twice as long as could be meted in such a traffic case. The law limits six months in such instances. But regardless of the question of time in connection with the matter, in view of the fact charges were dropped in connection with the case which brought the basis for the charge of the violation of the probation, it seems to us the cause of justice could have been served by also dropping the violation charge. We regret to see such a situation develop and still hope in the interest of inter-racial goodwill and understanding some further action will be taken which will result in the release of Dr. King. Although an appeal will be made in the case, it is unfortunate that this section must continuously go through a period of tensions, created on the one hand by a segment of American citizens who simply desire the elimination of segregation, and op the other by some who seem steeped in opposition to this change. The course of wisdom would be to seek this change within the framework of law. Goodwill Homes For Children Open House Goodwill Homos for Children, held its first Annual Open House Oct. 23, 3:00 - 5:00 p. m. The crowd of friends who attended expressed their pleasure over seeing the beautiful, modern children's home.

(John 4:42). The theme saith we believe, the text states I believe because we have heard for ourselves. I readed a story of young woman, who was in school by her teacher to writer a composition on "The Most Interesting Person She had Ever Met." She wrote this: "The most interesting person I have met is Jesus. I think he is the most interesting person because he saved my soul one day and has saved others. He's pleading for us to accept him and to put every weight of sin aside. When she was a young girl she found him as her refuge in the time of trouble and her shelter in the time of storm. Those who are unacquainted with Jesus must find him today, he's calling you to come closer and closer to the crass. NOW WE BELIEVE By REV.

Nixon Demands would "establish again in our time a nationwide network of black markets." Food prices, he said, would rise by 25 per cent. On the farm front, too, Nixon demanded that Kennedy admit he was wrong. He called on his opponent to "apologize" to America's farmers, and to "express regrets" to the housewives. Nowhere in his daylong tour in hot pursuit of Ohio's 25 electoral votes did the candidates altogether abandon what has come to be called his "basic speech" — the one in which he warns that Kennedy's election would mean higher prices, higher taxes and a critical loss of leadership in foreign affairs. But prestige and "peace without surrender" were his watchwords Wednesday. His increasingly biting attacks on these points came as balm to state party leaders who have been warning Ohio could go Democratic unless Nixon makes good on his pledge at the outset of this week's Midwestern tour to "pour on the coal" in a stretch drive for victory on Nov. 8. Nixon has appeared at times all set to "turn the heat on" — another expression he used this week-and at others to back away from his own harsh words. Wednesday the heat was on, and it helped dispel the gloom, chill and rain that marked the Ohio Weather. At Middletown, Nixon's first stop on the long day's grind an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 partisans turned out in a cold drizzle to cheer the vice president's plug for a hometown sports hero.

Taking his position there, convoying an attitude of indifference to a courtroom full of people watching every move he made, he gave the witness a severe and searching scrutiny. Mickey Beers crossed and uncrossed his legs nervously. "Mr. Beers," Marker asked innocently, "this special tool with which you opened the locked desk. Do you always carry a burglar's tool when on duty?" "It wasn't a burglar's tool" "Oh, really?" Marker gave the jury a sad smile "Well, as you wish. Now, Mr. Beers, you and Mr. Callahan were boyhood friends, were you not?" "Objection. Immaterial." 'It's very material. Your Honor. The jury is entitled to know ..." "Sustained," Judge Hoffman interjected. Marker frowned. He scratched out something from his notes. "Before you searched Mr. Hart's office, did you and Mr. Callahan discuss the effect this case might have on Mr. Callahan's plans to ran for Governor?" Callahan slammed the table with his open palm. "Your Honor! I request that counsel be held in contempt for that remark." "Confine yourself to relevant questions, Mr. Marker." "Yes, Your Honor. Mr. Beers, the night that Mrs. Hart died, you learned, didn't you, that Mr. Hart was a nephew of exGovernor Hart?" "That's right." "And you were aware of the publicity, he unusual, publicity, that the prosecutor in, a murder trial of an ex-governor's nephew would receive." "Mr. Marker." Judge Hoffman sold sternly. "I've already instructed you not o proceed with that line of inestioning." "I'm sorry. Your Honor. Mr. Beers, you saw nothing in Mrs. Hartys bedroom Chat night to cate than accidental did other man accidental, dirt you." Beers nesuated "Well, you get hunches about these things.

"Your Honor," Marker said, "I do apologize, but the crudeness of this scheme shocks me. He advanced on Beers. I call your attention to the night of Mrs. Hart's death. THERE was nothing there to indicate the commission of a crime, absolutely nothing, yet, you intentionally set out to ..." "There was plenty there," Beers said hotly. "Indeed!" Marker put his hands on the witness box. "A moment ago you told us yon had only a 'hunch.' Now you tell us there was 'plenty' there. I find you hard to follow, Mr. Beers. Perhaps, though you can explain yourself." "I can explain myself, all right." Beers voice rose triumphantly, "The minute I walked in that bedroom I knew what had happened. Because I'd been out to talk to Mrs. Hart before. The time her husband tried to kill her will- a carving knife." There was stunned silence in the courtroom then pande monlum broke loose. Judge Holman added the panging of his gave to the up roar. Marker was vio Above the uproar Marker cea. Mistrial! Mistria Your Honor Your Honor, this is absolutely grounds for a mistrial. This is the most damaging piece of viciously improper, false, and prejudicial evidence I've ever heard in a courtroom I demand a mistrial!" Judge Hoffman looked angrily down on the courtroom. He banged his gave again "I am going to clear this immediately it do not have order. Mr. Ba escort the jury to s quarters. A minute later he said. Let the record show that the jury is present. The Court will now hear arguments on the motion for a mistrial. Mr. Marker." Marker said. It the Court please, the defense is aware of the general rule of law that the granting or dennt a motion for a mistrate usually rests in the sound discretion of the trim court However" an incident can be so flagrant that a denial ii the motion amounts to an abuse of discretion and is consequently reversible error. And it ever there was such an incident, this is certainly it. I have never heard—and I'm sure the Court hasn't either-of a murder trial in which the prosecution has been allowed to inproduce an allegation not only unsupported by evidence but impossible to support by evidence. So this testimony conrenting it oven, if it could be believed, is hearsay. It rests on an alleged statement made to Mr Beers by Mrs. Hart. But Mrs. Hart is dead. How can we cross-examine her?" You can put your client on me Stand and let him deny the truth of the assent." Callahan said. "Now, you just wait until I'm finished. Mr. Callahan. You Kinic that has to do with the issue. The only issue here is the defendant has been so prejudiced in front of the jury by Mr. Beers last statement that the damage could never be undone. The introduction of inadmissible hearsay of a harmless nature is one thing, but this hearsay goes to me heart of the case furthermore.

Ale Simon's whisper coaxing him into a federal judgeship with his hoary old pitchman's call. The test was, he thought miserably, to survive. Or was it? "The Court," he said austerely, "has listened closely to the arguments of counsel. It is of the opinion that the statement made by Mr. Beers is highly prejudicial." Judge Hoffman clenched and unclenched his hands. His voice dropped to a whisper.

Eisenhower took a day off from his cross country speaking tour billed as "non - political" by the White House — to play golf with friends at the Eldorado Club. James C. Hagerty, presidential press secretary, did not rule out further political appearances by Eisenhower in the final two weeks of the campaign. The president's disclosure that he will try to swing New York votes-to Nixon at a giant - sized rally came after Hagerty conferred with the Vice President's aides by telephone Friday night. Eisenhower will deliver an clection-eve political plug for the Nixon - Lodge ticket over nationwide radio and television and vote the following day in Gettysburg, Pa. He declared that Nixon was the best qualified man to succeed him in the White House at a GOP rally in Chicago late-last month. He repeated the endorsement in a question-and-answer session with Republican women about two weeks ago. These were the two major presidential efforts on Nixon's behalf since the campaign started. Hagerty said Eisenhower and Nixon will ride into New York in a motorcade earlier on Wednesday, Nov. 2, before they appear of the Coliseum in midtown Manhattan. This followed in the wake of a million-person turnout for Kennedy last Thursday, sharp increases in Democratic registration in New York City and polls indicat ing Kennedy may barry the state. Eisenhower has apparently been told by his advisers that a victory in New York is essential to Nixon-Lodge triumph this fall. TAKES DAY OFF steam in critical New York state.
