TINY WORD 'IF" ALMOST
SPELLS MANS DEATH

Joliet, Ill, Oct. (CNA)-A typo
graphical error, changing the word
"is" to "if" almost sent John Col
Inns, II, to his death in the Joliet
Penitentiary electric chair this
week.
Penitentiary officials were pro-
ceeding with arrangements for ex-
ecuting the youth, convicted of kill
ing Lieut.. Police Lancaster, white
Civilian Conservation Corps camp
commandment, in payroll robbery.
They were acting on advice of a
communication from the Mt. Car
roll court clerk which indicated an
attempt to delay the execution but
contained the words, eff stayed"
Ira Silbar, International Labor
Defense attorney for Collins, of
Chicago, discovered the error in
time.
He rushed to the prison with a
corrected certified copy which read
'tis stayed to December IT,"

Neal Trial
Set For Next
Monday, Oct. 80

The second trial of w. Squire
Neal on a charge of concealing
$4,000 in golf bag in the now
celebrated Neal case will be called
for Federal court Monday.
Neal was convicted on three
counts last year but upon appeal
to the U. S. district court of ap-
peals the conviction was reversed
and a new trial ordered.
The U. S. district attorneys Of
fee had the alternative of agree
ing to dismissal or trying to con-
vict Neal again. It chose the latter
course.
Evidently the U. s. attorneys
will try to send the funeral director
to prison. General opinion is that
if the government could not estab-
fish a case that would stand against
Neal during the heat of the trials
months ago it will have tough sled
ding trying to do it now. Public
sympathy which was definitely not
favorable to Neal at the time of
the first trial has altered and peo-
pie now feel that he has been
prosecuted enough" as a St.. Paul
business man called it.

LEON ABBEY SAFE m PARIS

The only known Twin Citian in

Abbey of Minneapolis, famous vio-
linist orchestra leader. His par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Abbey,
of Ala East oath St., say Mr.. Abbey
will return to the States within the
next 80 days.
Because of the war it has been
difficult to secure passage to Amer
lea on any ship. The Minneapolis
musician is one of the outstanding
musical figures in the dance or
chestra field.
He left the Twin Cities years ago
with the j. Rosamond johnson or
chestra following an engagement
that group had in Minneapolis at
one of the Orpheum houses.
Three years ago, after an abb
sence of 10 years, he returned to
the Twin Cities for brief visit.
His orchestra has played in every
European city of consequence and
in India, Asia and South America.

No POrgy At
~" If Students
Have Their WAY

The Negro Student Council at
the University of Minnesota turned
thumbs down" on "Porgy," fam
Gus Du Bose Hayward drama.
After answering the call We'd
nesday of Reid Erickson of the "U''
theatre department for tryouts the
council voted to disapprove presen-
tation of play. A committee was
named to give the Councils view.
At a meeting of Negro Student
Council held Monday, October %,
the following resolution was
adopted and unanimously approved:
Feeling that the impressions en-
gendered by the production of
"Porgy" by an all Negro cast would
be both undesirable and detrimental
to the best interests of the Negro
student body, the Negro Student
Council has by unanimous vote un-
conditionally refused to give it's
support to the play"
A committee consisting of Hilda
Moses, Samuel Reed and August
Piper has been appointed to select
a substitute play and will present
their recommendations in weeks
time.
Samuel Reed, public relations
council of the group, said at the
meeting Monday: Realizing the
and the necessity of a
unity of opinion among Negro stu
dents, it is hoped that those few
Negro students who did not attend
the meeting or openly voice disap-
prevail of the Councils action, will
be willing to subordinate their own
interests to the best interests of
the majority of colored students"

it, he declared.

Mcknight, Mrs. Julia Douglass,
Mrs. Carrie McWatt, Mrs. Louise
Hargraves, Mrs. Lucille Hargraves,

A plea for cooperation in the
closing days of the drive was made
by all workers.
