FORT BENNING, GA.-The
Religious Services at the Recep-

growing in enthusiasm and spir-
itual fervor. More than five
hundred casuals and Cadremen
of this unit packed in and about
the church to attend the regu-
lar Reception Center Sunday
morning Service last Sunday.
These selectees, many of whom
were attending their first relig-
ious service in the Army, sat
and stood throughout both the
preaching service and the Sun
day School, thus testifying to
a wonderful impression made
upon them. Chaplain Andrew

pleasure in welcoming Harry H.

when he was associated with

fishing business and in the Black
Swan Record Company, one of
the pioneers of the old phono-
graph days, which led the way
for the victrola and radio tran
scriptions, we recalled many in
teresting memories.
Anent: Mr.. Pace was visiting
in Atlantic City and a friend in
vited him to visit certain cab
aret to hear girl sing who was
the sensation of the resort. In
those days the "honky tonk"
with sawdust on the floor was
the bright spot Of night life.
They heard the lady sing, and
she chirped a torrid blues, so
they called her over to the table

Salvation Army Hospital
The 1O,e0Oth baby to be born

ternity Hospital. West Newton
street, Boston, is announced in
a release issued this week by the
Salvation Army, which reminds
us that the Evangeline Booth

The hospital is one of the
twenty-seyen units of service for
which the current 100000 cam
paign is waged in Greater Bos-
ton. The use Of the hospital is
for all married women; those
who are able, pay the prescribed
lying-in cost; but those who are
unable to pay are given atten-
ton at a cost which they can af-
ford. The money-raising drive
will have a second report on Oc-
tober %, and the campaign will
continue until the goal of $780,
900 is attained. The long record
of useful service by the institu-
ton commends the effort to all
who can contribute.

Va. Supreme Court Affirms
Walters Death Sentence

STANTON, Va.-SThe Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals last
week affirmed the conviction and
sentence Of death of odell Wal
Ter, 24-year-old colored share
cropper. who shot his white
landlord in self-defense, it is al
legged, in a dispute over crop
shares.
The court held that non-pay-
ers of poll tax are not excluded
from either grand or petit jur-
les by Virginia's constitution or
laws. 1t did not pass on the fac
tual question as to whether non
payers of poll tax are, in fact,
excluded. The court held that
the jury's verdict was justified
by evidence, overruling the ar
guments of counsel as to the al
legged improper admission OF ev-
idence and of the unfairness of
a trial before a prejudiced jury,
composed exclusively of payers
of the poll tax, ten of whom
wer themselves landlords and
employers of sharecroppers.

Defense League chairman, an

inerty and Thomas H. Stone are

Officer of Reception Center.
stressed the Importance Of re-
ligious worship as follows: "As
shown by the report of the
Chaplain, Reception Center, this
organization is still stressing
music, song and religious wor-
ship as important morale build
erS. 1t is believed religious SER
vices on Sunday are an excel
lent means for maintaining
contentment among the selec-
tees received who are few
days only removed from their
homes. Attendance at religious
services conducted by the Chap
lain, Reception Center, varies
from five to eight hundred.
The Morale of the personnel
passing through the Reception
Center is high and it is believed
this is due to the efforts of the
Chaplain and the Morale Officer
in behalf of the receptees and
inductees. We have had no trials
by military courts, nor any con-
finements, or disorders of any
kind within our area, despite
the fact that more than $4,000
men have passed through the
Induction Station, Reception
Center and Recruiting Office, all
Of which are under single
Commandant." This is quite a
fine endorsement of the Chap
lain's work at the Colored Re-
ception Center here, the only
one Of its kind in the entire
United States. No other South
ern Camp where Colored Sol
diers are stationed can boast so
heartily and SO truly of the
Morale Of the men being so high
as at Reception Center and this
is because everybody keeps at
work and there is little or no
loafing. Music by the Reception
Center Chorus, Orchestra, aBnd
and Quintette plays a very inn
portant part in making the sol
diers at Reception Center hap
py, together with the fact that
the Commanding Officer is quite
approachable at all times inso-
far as the problems of the Col
ored Soldiers are concerned
This cannot be said about all
Commanding Officers in charge
OF colored Troops.

where Waller was convicted, and
wer SO excluded in his case. The
time in which such a petition
can be filed is short, for, as soon
as the mandate of the Supreme
Court Of Virginia is filed in the
Circuit Court in which Waller
was convicted, Waller will be
resentenced and his execution
under the law, will probably be
set for ten days after such re-
sentence. Application, however,
has been made to the Governor
of Virginia for further stay Of
execution to permit disposition
0 fan application for habeas
corpus. This denied, counsel
would apply to the U. S. Su-
prem Court for such a writ, and
for a stay of execution.
Should the Supreme Court Of
Virginia refuse, on a writ OF ha-
beas corpus, to set aside Wallor' S
conviction, counsel will immed-
lately ask review by the SUI
preme Court of the United
States Of any scuh refusal. 1t
therefore appears probable that,
in any event, the whole poll tax
issue will shortly come before
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
