Frame Two i'm
Terror Drive

Little Rock, Ark, (CNA)-Having
obtained a stay of execution just one
week before the date set for execution
of James Caruthers and Bubbles Clay
ton, the Defense Committee has taken
steps to bring these cases before the
Arkansas Supreme Court. Attorney
John R. Thompson, white, employed
by the Caruthers-C Clayton Defense
Committee, will present the appeal.
Couldn't Identify Assailants
Caruthers and Clayton, Is and 10
years old respectively, were arrested
in Blytheville, on a charge of rape,
one month after the rape was sup-
posed to have been committed.
The white woman in the case, known
to be of loose habits, at that time
was unable to identify her assailants.
Although Caruthers and Clayton were
daily to be seen on the streets of
Blytheville, she failed to accuse them.
The Defense Committee, initiated
by the local International Labor De-
tense, characterized the case against
the two boys as the climax of a reign
Of terror that has gripped Eastern
Arkansas for several months.
The avowed object Of this terror,
conducted by the wealthy landlords
and their agents, was to smash the
militant Southern Tenants Farmers
Union, composed of Negro and white
sharecroppers and tenant farmers.

of despairs made the future chaos.
Things would never be right again.
In almost telepathic spontaneity
there came a cable from London
reading: Are you all right?-Bill."
1t was from Will Hays who had,
miraculouSly thought, taken time
out from busy conferences to ra-
diate light in dark place.
Too, that lonely first day, when
a rather fat job had just been
shot out from under me, l was
trying for a toe-hold on the copy
desk of the Evening Mail. About
quitting time a fellow effervescing
enthusiasm and vitality came over
and introduced himself. He didn't
of course, have to tell me he was
the best known cartooniSt OF his
time, Rube Goldberg, or did he
have to invite me to ride uptown
in his stunty green roadster. But
he did. And urknoWingly renewed
my waning courage immeasurably.
So / could overflow many columns
of those splendid and simple acts
of graciousness that mean so much
in rospect-fidelities that make
me a lifelong debtor to Webster,
Bob Brinkerhomm, Ryley Cooper,
Gene Buck, Floyd Gibbons, etc,
and to two who are gone, Will
Hogg and Arthur Roche.
That's why want their likeness
es strung around the wall so that
in the cleaning the flicker from
backlog will dance an illumination
upon them. And provide inspira-
ton for those looking-back vistas
from the easy chair that widen our
horizons and bring us so breath
lessly near something that looms,
then suddenly trembles away. The
borderland of that something that
may encompass the unattained
possibility to which we are all
groping-eternal friendship.
