A Virginia Victory
Thomas Nelson Of Charlottes-
vile, Va, was arrested August 5,
1927, accused of numbering two
aged white citizens and tried and
sentenced to life Imprisonment in
1928. The Association fought for
an appeal. IN November 1929, the
Virginia Supreme Court set aside
the conviction and ordered new
trial. Nelson was liberated on
bail. He was against convicted,
and this time sentenced to rs years
imprisonment. Again the state
Supreme Court reversed the con-
viction upon appeal by N.A.A.C.P.
lawyers. In December 1881, Mel
son was freed on $1,000 bond with
recommendation from the high
court that his case be nolle pross-
ed. In February 1892 he was re-
leased. His defense cost the AS
ISOLATION $500. The attorneys were
McCue and Mccue, white, of
Charlottesville.
Near Christmas 1928, Mrs. J. W.
Wingate, white plantation owner
of Eros, La, instructed a Negro
tenant to receive a valuable dog
loaned to two white men. On
Christmas Day, a party of drunk
en- whites, including the dog Dor
rowers, went to the Negroes cabin
when only his wife, four daugh-
ters and grandchildren were pres
ent. The gang ordered the women
to line up to be killed. Thinking
this a joke, the women did not
run. The mob fired on them. Two
of the girls were killed; the moth
er and another girl wounded. The
N.A.A.C.P. spent $500 prosecuting
the killers. The New Orleans
Branch gave valuable aid. On APP
ril IS, 1929, the two white men, D.
]. Sanderson and Jack Bagwell,
were convicted and sentenced to
life imprisonment.
Charlie and Jake Alexander and
George Benton Oldham, of Lagar-
do, Tenn, were convicted of first
degree murder on January 4, 1888.
for killing Constable Ben L. Nor
thern and Deputy M. E. Brown,
who attempted to arrest them on
September 4. 1882, with blank
warrant. The Jail in Lebanon was
surrounded by a mob of 5000, but
the men were spirited to Nash
vile before the building was
wrecked, the sheriff's wife serious
ly injured, and two colored women
barely saved from lynching.
The two Alexanders were SEN
fenced to life imprisonment. Old
ham was given rs, years. On ap-
peal, the state supreme court re-
versed the sentences and ordered a
re-trial. On August 30-September
4, 1888, at the second trial, Old
ham was acquitted, Jake Alexan-
der was gwen three years for lin
voluntary granddaughter, while
his son, Charlie, was convicted OF
second degree murder and SEN
fenced to twelve years. The state
supreme court affirmed the YER
dict on April 5, 1884, but Jake Al
exander's sentence was cut to one
year and Charles sentence reduc-
ed to from one to five years. The
men are now eligible for parole.
For fear of inflaming the mob,
the N.A.A.C.P. kept its aid secret.
OF the total cost of $50, the AS
ISOLATION paid $3.50, the remainder
being raised by colored and white
citizens of Nashville and the Inter
racial Commission. The N.A.A.C.
P. lawyer was Jesse Cantrell,
white. of WATERFOWL, Tenn.
These remarkable cases not only
prove the alertness, persistence,
and skill of the N.A.A.C.P. legal
but also proves the a.
dage that truth is stranger than
fiction.

A campaign toahave food indus

from drought and crop reduction

Under this program the farmer
would get higher prices for his
products and the consumer would

Clash Expected

To REVANP NRA
ORGANIZATION
Drastic Changes Expected
To Result From Farley
At White House
BY International News Service

Far-reaching changes in the
organization of NRA impended
today as the result of vital
White House conferences within
the past "a hours.
President Roosevelt called in
Recovery Administrator Hugh S.
Johnson, NRA Counsel Donald r.
Richberg, and Secretary of Labor
Perkins in whipping the MIRA
reorganization into shape. None
Of the four would reveal the
changes thus far agreed upon.
Apparently there are several
matters which the President has
not yet decided in connection
with the reorganization plan.
Other conferences have been ten
tatively scheduled. 1t appeared
likely that Mr.. Roosevelt eX-
pected to put the finishing
touches to his new NRA plans
after he gets to his Hyde Park
IN. " home on Thursday.
Drastic Changes Due
Certainly there will be an in
ternal structural change in the
big recovery unit when new plans
are put into effect. Just what
this will bring in the way Of
policy changes is unknown at
present.
A White House conference
which will bring before Mr.. RooSe-
welt every emergency agency head
and Cabinet member in the
Government was scheduled for
the afternoon. The President
has asked all members of both
his national emergency and ma
tional executive councils to meet
at the White House.
NRA reorganization will, of
course, be discussed as either a
major or incidental subject Of
today's meeting. Mr. Richberg,
who has headed both councils
since Frank Walker was given a
"furlough" so as to get back to
his business affairs in New York
temporarily, declared todays
meeting was simply to get every
one together and give them all a
chance to exchange ideas with
the President.
Johnson to Remain
General johnson shed some
light on the makeup Of the new
MIRA when he revealed after a
conference with the President
that he had been asked to stay
on" as part of the Set-up.
Whatever is the new NRA set-up
it's present counsel, Mr.. Richberg,
is certain to hold an important Of
ficial post. He, with Secretary Of
Labor Perkins, has had major
part in the meetings in which the
President outlined future plans.
The presence of Miss Perkins in
the White House NRA meetings
was regarded as significant here
in connection with the Labor De-
partment's recent work toward
solving labor troubles. That there
may be a new and closer union be-
tween the NRA and the Labor De-
partment was regarded as not un-
likely.

RUMORS Of
DELAYS
Assessments to Be Collected
Regardless of Protests in
Four InstaIImentS
BY EUGENE A. KELLY

Regardless of the consequences,
the assessments levied by the
Treasury Department against the
stockholders of five closed banks
In Washington must be paid by
November Is, J. F. T. O'Connor,
Comptroller of the Currency, said
today.
Mr.. O'Connor's statement spikes
current rumors that the Treasury
Department had ordered a change
in the date of payment to give
STOCKHOLDERS more time to meet
their obligations.
First InstalIment Due
The assessments are to be paid
in four installments, the first Of
which was due last week.
Committees of stockholders re.
peatedly have asserted that they
could more likely pay the full
amount of the assessments if given
more time. The assessments total
more than 100000.
Stockholders have pointed out
to the Comptroller of the Cur.
rency the hardships incurred in
demanding that the assessments
be paid in four installments and
by November 10. 1t has been
suggested to Mr.. O'Connor by
several Of the stockholders that
a plan whereby the Reconstruc.
ton Finance Corporation would
buy up all the assets OF the
closed banks here would eliminate
entirely the assessments, or at
least give the stockholders more
time to liquidate their indebted.
ness.
Purchase Plan Backed
Under this plan, which has
been endorsed by The Washing.
ton Times, the RFC would buy
the assets of the closed banks
and liquidate them over 10 years.
The assets would be purchased,
incidentally, not at depression
prices but on a recovery basis.
The RFC is authorized to take
action Of this kind under the
Steagall amendment which was
courageously defended in the last
session of Congress by Represen.
tatlve Clarence j. Mcleod (R),
of Michigan.
Jesse H. Jones, chairman Of the
RFC, has signified his willingness
to purchase the assets Of the
closed banks, but the plan has
been blocked by the Comptroller
OF the Currency. Mr.. Conner per.
siStS in his refusal to make known
Just why he is opposed to the
RFC-purchase plan.
Receipts Kept Secret
How much money the receivers
OF the banks have collected thus
far on the first inStallment due
from the assessments remained
mystery today. No official fig
ures were given out on the pay
ments received. 1t was said the
amounts will not be made public
until fall.
1t was learned from unofficial
but authoritative sources, how
ever, that scarcely half the money
due from the stockholders had
been paid the receivers.
This is exactly what had been
predicted by banking experts
when the assessments were levied.
1t was pointed out then that the
receivers would be fortunate in
receiving half of the more than
100000 assessed against stock.
holders.
