Yuma Negro Taken
To Phoenix After
Attack On Girl

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 26. W.D =
Dan Reed, 35, Negro, accused of
criminally assaulting Opal McNew,
11-year-old white girl, at a cotton
pickers camp near Yuma yesterday
was brought to the county jail here
today for safe keeping.
Reed, who denies the accusation.
was arrested early today at Tacna.
by Sheriff T. H. Newman, who had
tracked him there after the girls
report of the assault. The Negro
was first taken to Yuma where ru-
mors of a lynching caused author
tiles to order him removed to Phoe-
nix.
The girl was said to have been at
tackled in her fathers tent while
others in the cotton pickers' camp
here were busy in the fields. She is
in hospital in Yuma. Her condi-
ton is not believed serious.
Negroes were responsible for the
arrest of Reed, according to infor-
nation reaching The Press today
from Yuma. The accused man had
been sick for several days, remain-
ing in his tent on the Lee Dole
ranch where a group Of so Negroes
have been picking cotton. When
news of the assault became known
the other Negroes in camp started
a search for Reed who had fled
eastward. Later in the night he re-
turned to camp and was seized by
two of the Negroes. Reed put up a
stiff battle and one OF his captors
slashed him across the face with o
knife before he was subdued and
turned over to officials.
After having his wound dressed
in Yuma, the police hurried him 70
Phoenix. Yuma authorities dis
counted fears Of lynching so far
as white residents we're concerned,
few OF them knowing about the at
tack, though Reeds co-workers were
wrought up over the attack on the
girl whose parents were in Yuma
at the time.

bringing its listeners an account of the baseball game tomorrow after noon, but the station management is determined in it's stand that the game will so on the air as sched- uled. The attempts to prevent WATR from broadcasting the game have taken several varied forms, but all of them have become known to the stations production department and the necessary steps taken to counteract them.
 Strong public opinion is certain to back WATR, Waterbury's first permanent radio station, in its fight to bring to its listening audience a description of a sporting even that takes place in a public park, park that is supported by taxpayers. The strongest pressure that could be brought to bear by the clements which have sought to prevent WATR broadcast of the game has not proven enough to force the station to change its program schedule for tomorrow and drop the baseball game broadcast.
 There may even be additional reports about the broadcast before game time tomorrow, but the game will be on the air over WATR.

THE JOYS OF MOTORING
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

The joys of motoring are really very great From the moment you leave the family gate, On and away through the open spaces Seeing lots of scenery and going many places Roads are good, they are also poor, One expects an occasional detour. At times when tired of meadows lush and green It's agreeable to lamp dentifrice queen,,. And bowling along among the verdant hills .,, Another sign-board tells you about certain plllS; Cigarettes are glorifed by ladies sweet and smiling While gents slick profile is more or less begung. Then back again to the lambent landscape At lakes and rivers you crane your neck to gape, With scenery passing swift and kaleidoscope You get an eyeful unless you're quite myoplc A days motor trip is very neat and nifty With good old boat that does at least fifty. , You may be tired but you achieved the Mohawk Trail Which ends the trip and ditto this tale.
