county and three physicians and pris
on officials decided that the prisoner Is
mentally unbalanced. This finding
was reported to the Governor who has
no alternative save to order the trans
fer of Smith to the Insane Hospital.

the local authorities in preserving or

Only a few strikers have returned tc

Mayor of McComb asking that martha

is called qualified martial law. A let
