sinister plot of his white employers
to murder a young cook and of the
accidental killing of one of the en-
ployers when the plot miscarried was
unfolded before the Alabama Pardon
Board of Tom Perkins, who was to
have died in the electric chair last
week but was granted a two weeks
reprieve after the Board heard his
story.
Sentenced to die. for the killing of
Clifton Mcneil, young Monroe County

Mcneil and his sister, Mrs. Marvin
Owens, ordered him to kill young
cook at the Owens home, where Nc
Neil also lived.
He said he obtained shotgun from
the Owens home and fired at the Ne
gro girl as she stepped on the back
porch, but accidentally struck Mcneil,
who also was standing on the porch,
and the white man died few minutes
later.
/ Il is believed that Mrs. Owens and
Mcneil were trying to cover up. pos

name is Bruno Lemke, headed his
tribe in the famous Kalahari Desert
and is the holder of native secrets

European, Lemke has been sentenced
to two years in prison at Windhoek.
Lemke, with rifle as his most
treasured possession, fell in Wit the

when it was threatened with starva-
ton. With the waterholes drying
up throughout vast arid waste, the
black men found game increasingly
difficult to find and kill. This was
where Lemke came in with his rifle
and skill as hunter. He kept the
whole tribe in sufficiency, if not in
plenty, and in gratitude there print

Spring, Ill.-Refusal to pay checks
for food ordered was the answer of
the Chicago delegation to the State
Conference of the American Youth
Congress to the denial of service to
Negro delegates in n local unit of
John r. Thompson chain restaurants.
Further protest to the owner of
the restaurants will be undertaken,
the delegation said. Tony Morton
and Cortez Morango, representing the
Youth Committee of the National Ne

discrimination.
When informed of the Thompson
incident, DR.. D. E. Webster, secre-
tary of the local N. A. A. C. P.
branch, commented that no downtown
buffets, except a small cafe, served
Negroes and that the same discrimi-
natory action was rampant in the

apolis and June in St. Paul are

for two delegates from each youth
organization in the Twin Cities. It
is hoped that every group, whether
it be organized for religious, social.
athletic, or study purposes, will real
lie the purpose of this conclave and
will send representatives. Because of
the lack of time it will be, in some
cases where the club does not meet
again before the time of the confer
ence, more expedient for the Presi-
dent Of the club to appoint two men,
bers as delegates. All University
or college students will be admitted
without the otherwise necessary club
credential certificate.

rapidly nearing completion. Robert

LINK JOHNSON WITH
Wise. VICE RING


The slim, blonde "slave" Of the
Washington avenue vice overload,
with whom she was brought back to
Minneapolis two days ago after a
hurried flight to Milwaukee, told her
story to County Attorney Ed ]. Golf
and his assistant, Peter S. Nelson,
and Earl Williams, federal depart
ment of justice operative from st.
Paul.
Will Ask Indictments
At the conclusion Of the question
ing, Golf and Nelson said they had
obtained sufficient evidence investiga-
ton by police to ask indictments on
two and possibly three counts against
Johnson when the grand jury meets
Tuesday.
At the same time, as a result of
Johnson's flight to Milwaukee. with
the white girl, federal officials were
said to be preparing a Mann act
charge against him. Williams would
not comment on this phase Of the
case, however.
Evidence points strongly to john
sons being member of a ring which
may have national ramifications,"
Nelson declared. ave know he had
business contacts in at least three
cities and before we get through with
the investigation we expect to unsov-
er stiff grilling by police detectives.
Resume Questioning Today
Johnson, reported "indisposed"
Thursday afternoon following a stiff
grilling by police detectives under the
direction of Captain Al Marker, is
to be questioned Friday morning by
Golf and Nelson. Federal Agent
Williams will sit in on the interroga-
ton.
Another witness to be examined
Friday is an 18-year..old white girl
repeatedly taken from Minneapolis
by johnson and placed in house
of i'll fame at Superior, Wis. When
arrested, however, the girl denied
johnson had taken her to Superior
and implicated instead another Negro,
Rufus Brown, who Thursday night
was held in the city Jail without
charge pending the outcome of the
investigation.
Sleepless since her arrest in Mil
waukee with Johnson, the white girl
questioned Thursday at first was
hesitant about revealing details Of
her association with the vice-master
and the sordid life she was compelled
to live. She was afraid to talk.
Collected Her Earnings
But upon urging, she admitted she
had been working for Johnson since
last November. She became Is last
February Is. Johnson, according to
Nelson, placed her in houses in Min
neapolis, St. Paul and Superior, col
Letting her earnings nightly and al
lowing her barely enough to live on.
The girl said she was afraid to
flee, according to Nelson, because
Of fear of what Johnson might do
to her.
The Negro overload, who seemed
to have a way Of getting out Of jail
without bond and of getting his en-
ployees out of the werkhouse before
they had served half their allotted
time, fled with the girl to Superior
during the midst Of his trial in NUM-
|, cipal court two weeks ago On vag-
rancy charge.

BENSON TO GET SEAT
ON DEMOCRATIC SIDE
New Farmer.Laborite Will Re.
ceive Committee Assignments
From Majority.

BY the Associated breSS.
The decision Of the Senate's newest
member-Elmer A. Benson, Farmer
Laborite of Minnesota-to sit on the
Democratic side instead of the Repub-
lican side, as does his Farmer-Labor
colleague, Henrik Shipstead. was noted
yesterday in the first Senate majority
conference.
Democratic Leader Robinson said
Benson would receive his committee
assignments from the majority. In
return for this Benson would be ex-
pected to vote with the Democrats on
matters of organization-but not nee
essarily on iSSues-and attend party
conferences.
Benson has said his decision did not
necessarily mean he would always vote
with the Democrats.
This was not considered especially
important, however, because of the
huge Democratic majority and the
fact that Republican independents
and Shipstead often vote with them.
