"a GREAT BLESSING

THE MUCH CONTROVERTED
case Of Jesse Hollins, Of 0klaho-
ma, convicted Of criminal assault
on white woman, has been set
aside By the highest tribunal Of
the nation.
mus the United States Supreme
Court is again on record as offer
ing its decision chat. as full-fledg-
ed citizens, coloaed Americans can
not legally be excluded from jury
service.
The action, Of course, is impor-
tant in that it signifies that q new
trial is IN store for the convicted
man.
The decision delivered by Chief
Justice Hughes was in answer to
an appeal filed by Hollins from
Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.
The courts recent opinion in the
scottsboro case setting aside q
death penalty melted out to clar-
ence Norris for an allegedly SIM
mar offense, was quoted by the
jurist, Hughes.
TT rs COMMON knowledge that
these decisions were born of q
gross system Of justice miscarri-
ages practiced in the Southland;
long tolerated prosecution Of our
people il that section of this coun-
try.
The fact that coiored citizens
had been excluded from the jury
that tried him constituted denial
to Norris Of his constitutional
rights.
THAT is THE MAIN POINT
as well as the means by which the
south win be compelled to cease
railroading its defenseless Negro
citizens to the electric chair and
otherwise maltreating them mere
" to give vent to the vicious spir-
it Of vicious ignorance and race
hatred
The two United States court rul-
ings on the Oklahoma and Scotts-
boro cases are blessings in dis
guise.
The whole country and the south
in particular win be benefited by
it, and happily SO.

when tie Ohio State University
team arrived for its meet with U.
s. c. last week.
Although jesse Owens. 21-year
old world record holder, is the adj
mitted star Of the team, officials
of the olympic Hotel refused to
accept him as a guest.
Learning of the alleged segre-
CATION policy of the hotel, Coach
Larry Snyder firmly refused to
allow any of the team to stay at
the Olympic, and, with Deputy
City Attorney Bert Mcdonald,
made quick arrangements for his
men to stay elsewhere.
Sigma Chi fraternity at the Uni
versity of Southern California
came to the reseae and offered its
swanky house, one of the most
beautiful frat houses in the state,
to Snyder and his team.
Owens and Mel Walker were
welcomed with open arms, as was
a citizens committee of colored
people, when the group escorted
Owens and his team from the
railroad station to the house. It
is reported that this same hotel
located near the Coliseum, also
refused quarters to Tolan and
Metcalis during the olympic
games.

Quoted under the direction Of the

commerce through Brownsville IN
the early days. the early day sail
ing vessels. ETC.. on down to the
steamers.
The parade and pageant. accord
ing to plans now. will trace every
step in the transportation struggles
OF the border here. stressing the
tact that transportation has been
the big problem OF Brownsville and
the Valley since the city was first
populated. and the fact that with
the best rail connections. the city
now with deep water az its door
finally after hree-quarters OF q
century has solved the problems OF

A tractor is being placed at the

available.
In the Houston area most Of the
trees being taken out are trifoleta
stock, from which the budded citrus
was frozen off. There are many
thousands OF these. none Of which
are producing.
One Of the big problems in clean
ing up the Valley will be the des-
friction CT citrus nursery stock
which has not been budded. Millions
OF sour orange seedlings were being
planted annually while the industry
was expanding at its greatest rate
and when planting Of new orchards
came to a stop many Of thu trees
were never budded. They have
grown up to form jungles OF big
sour orange trees, which will be dug
out and burned.
