Officials Laud Ru|inq
Barring Privates From
Suing Five Officers
Exemption From Domoee
Claims Also Applies
To Police, Keech Says

District officials yesterday hailed
decision last Monday in District
Court by Justice James w. Morris,
dismissing $4,000 damage suit
brought by District fireman
against a lieutenant for having
filed charges of which he was &C
quilted by the Fire Trial Board.
The court held that officers of
the department should not be sub
jected to suits for damages for de-
cisions they made respecting dis
cipline of those over whom they
have supervision
Corporation Counsel Richmond B.
Keech said the rule would apply. to
police as well as firemen, since dis
cipline and trial board procedure
are substantially the same and he
voiced belief the decision was of
special Importance, since he felt a
contrary ruling would have affected
disciplinary measures in the de-
partments and the morale of re-
sponsible officers.
fa1Se CnargeS AleRed.
The suit was filed by Pvt Ray A.
Wren against 1t. Julian H. Fincher.
The plaintiff alleged that his su-
perior falsely and maliciously"
charged him with violating rules of
the department. 1t was said the
private was accused of having OBJ
jected to an assignment order, but
he was acquitted by the trial board
Justice Morris said:
Whatever may be the rule else
where, l think it is settled, and
rightly so. in this jurisdiction that,
in consideration of the public in
terest. an act done by an official
with respect to matters committed
to his charge is privileged and does
not subject such official to civil
action for damages. even though it
be alleged that such act was done

Thousands Hear Gypsy
Smith In Kos(iusko

The Attala County Revival con-
tinues to hold the interest of thous-
ands who come from every section
of the state for the opportunity of
hearing the gospel messages Of Gypsy
Smith. Jr.. beloved evangelist, who
is conducting the meeting. Rev. and
Mrs. Steve Kimbrough, of Birming-
ham, Ala, are assisting him in the
revival by directing the song SER
vices. The meeting is being held in
Kosciusko in specially constructed
tabernacle on the High School
| grounds.
Overflow audiences each night at
the tabernacle, hundreds of rededi-
cations by Christians who have re-
+; allied a need for a closed walk with
God, many conversions, greatly in
creased at prayer services are evil
dences of spiritual awakening in
Kosciusko and Attala County.
Gypsy Smith, Jr., is not a sensa-
tional preacher, and does not use
sensational methods in this revival.
He presents the gospel messages in a
clear cut forceful manner. He uses
simple language, easily understood,
but brings powerful messages, striv-
ing to inspire men and women +
live nobler, finer lives. To Chris
tians, he brings the message that
Christianity means more than having
names put on church rolls; to sin
ners, he holds Christ as the only
means of salvation from sim He has
never preached sermon against
gambling, immortality, or worldly
pleasures, stating that he wants to
probe deeper and reach the roots of
sin. He says that when the roots of
sin are torn out, the outward or
superficial branches will easily die.
From Gypsy Tent to Pulpit will
be his theme Friday night. He will
tell something of his own life, and
reveal the origin, manners and Gus
toms of gipsies whom he says are
members of the lost tribes of Israel
His references to his early life in
England, where he was born, are
very interesting. A touch of sad
ness comes into his voice when he
talks Of the destruction of many of
his relatives homes in warn-torn
England, and tells of conditions
there.
Services will continue through,
Sunday night, June %, Kosciusko
and Attala County are extending a
cordial invitation to people of ad-
Joining counties, and all sections Of
the state to continue attending the
services in delegations or as individ-
uals.

The first of two volumes of an up

eral and permanent laws in force as
of January 3, 1941, made its appear
ance yesterday. 1t is the first revi-

Provision has been made for fu-
ture annual supplements in the
form of insertable pocket parts,
rather than in separate volumes. As
a special feature, the code contains
interpretive annotations of court

discouraging obstacles. BY a COIN
cidence, the signing would take
place on his 54th birthday.
Difficulties Great.
Among the almost insuperable
difficulties overcome were the tradi-
tional Argentine diffldence toward
enhancing United States influence
in lower South America, Argentine
resentment over sanitary measures
barring Argentine meat from the
United States, time-hallowed Argen-
tine trade affiliations with Great
Britain and the fact that both
Argentina and the United States
have been burdened with wheat
and corn surpluses.
The European war provided a
special incentive for overcoming
these obstacles. The British blockade
and Germany's occupation Of
France, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Poland and Norway deprived Argen-
tina of nearly half her export
markets. In 1910 the country had
an unfavorable trade balance for
the first time in years.
Stern Reality Paved Way.
A growing realization that what
ever may have been the old pref
udices against collaboration with
the United States, stern economic

suited on lend-lease purchases. The
War and Navy Departments sign
all contracts themselves.

smaller producers to speed up the
production program and spread en-
ployment.
Associate o. P. M. Director Hill

concerns itself with problems aris-

The Office of Price Administra-

sees to it that prices do not get out
