INDICTMENTS RETURNED

Last week in an almost unprece-
dented action an Amite County
grand jury returned murder in
dictments against the six white
men for the brutal, lynch-killing
of Simmons, the Department OF
Justice announced. The Staying re-
suited in an FBI investigation,
the results of which were turned
over to the District Attorney for
presentation to the grand jury,
which group later brought forth
the indictments of the six whites.
Grand jury actioll, at first was
believed improbable because Negro
witnesses had been frightened
against testifying and had disap-
peared, was made possible when
the FBI turned over to the District
Attorney dispositions taken from
witnesses In their homes and told
the officials where the witnesses
could be found.

All White Jury
Frees Leader OF
Mississippi Mob
May Not Bring
Others To Trial,
Says Prosecutor

LIBERTY, Miss.-(S N S-Noble
Rider, SO, was acquitted by an all
white jury Friday night of muir
der charge in connection with the
Staying of Rev. Isaac Simmons
well known local minister and
farmer, and after he had been
freed District Attorney Joe E.
Brown indicated that there was
some doubt that five other white
men, charged in the Staying OF
the aged preacher, would ever be
tried.
Following the jury's verdict,
Brown stated that he brought RI
der to trial first because he believ-
ed he had the strongest case
against the 33-year-old white far
mer.
Rider and five other white men
of this community were indicted
last week for the Staying OF Rev.
Simmons near here m what the
state charged was a dispute over
the ownership of farm owned
by Simmons and his son, the latter
who was run from this community
after his father had been brutally
murdered by the group of white
men who wanted possession OF the
valuable farm property of the SIM
mons family. Simmons was muir
dered on last March 26, 1t was
stated.
FBI ENTER CASE
During the latter part of Aug
ust of this year an investigation
was begun in the case Of the re-
ported lynching of Simmons, who
was 66-years-old when he was
slain, by the United States JUS
tice Department at Washington. Al
that time the incident was report
ed to the civil liberties section by
both the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation and the United States At
torney'S Office in the New Orleans
area toward the end of July, ano
the investigation was begun or
August 4, of this year.
According to information CLEAN
ed from the civil liberties section
and the NAACP, which interested
itself in the case, the Rev. Sim
mons owned a 220-acre debt-free
farm in Amite county here. Sew
eral whites in the community
learned that there were possible
oil deposits, and certainly large
timber areas on the land, and be-
gan to inveigle the property away
from him.
For a period, however, certain
tax payments were due and they
hoped to get the property by auc-
ton. Rev. Simmons later paid up
these back taxes, which angered
the whites, and on March 26 three
of the white men went to the Sim
mons home and took him and his
son, Eldridge, in their car. The
pair was taken into the woods
where the elder Simmons was
beaten, taken down a road, and
both were put out of the car. The
aged minister started to run from
the whites after alighting from the
car and was shot in the back as
he fed The son was later run out
of town.

| For Tree Pests

With only q third Of the man
power usually available for work on
District trees, it looks as If the
caterpillars and other insects are
going to get their fill this summer.
Ordinarily the spraying machines
handled 1875, 900 trees at least once
a year and the majority of them
twice. Last year only 10000 got
sprayed and this year trees in only
a few sections of the city have been
sprayed.
Complaints have been received
about caterpillars, but the limited
force of men available to the tree
and parking division makes it i'm
possible to do both the necessary
cutting of low limbs and spraying.
Some trees are being eaten by
the elm leaf beetle, but it is too
late to do anything about them,
even if men were available to
spray them.

Ohio, has been commended for ex-
ceptionally meritorious conduct on
the Fifth Army front in Italy.
Commanding officer of a medical
unit, Morton patrolled his line of

despite the fact that German snipers
and ambush patrols were known to
be present in the area of 88th In
fantry division operations.
With great efficiency and using linn
tied means, he supervised evacuation
of the wounded over long distances.
Morton, at the same time, rendered

unteer to help get in the crops. There
can't possibly be too much food next
year for the peoples of the world; in
fact, we can use quite bit right here
at home, with or without ration points.
There is one wee small matter, how
ever, which is worthy of the atten-
tion of the experts, and that is our
ability to take care of this huge crop
after it is harvested and gathered.
Can it be stored until consumed and
delivered to the consumer in usable
condition?
We know of course that tremendous
quantities of various kinds of food
have in the recent past, after long
periods of storage, been destroyed
because of its condition 1t could have
been released before it spoiled, and
our people could have used it.
If this tremendous farm crop is to
to be harvested and stored only to
be destroyed later it might better be
allowed to dry up on the vine. The
question naturally arises, what have
our food experts learned from exper-
fence in the last three years?
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1944-09-15
MORE FOOD FOR WHAT?

The Quartermaster General and
other high officials are calling for
volunteers to help gather the farm
crops, which are said to be larger than
in 1943, in order that our fighting
men overseas will have plenty OF
food.
1t is also necessary to gather and
preserve this tremendous amount OF
food to help feed the released popu-
lations of the nations until recently
under domination of the Nazis. 1t will
be several years before they are able
to feed themselves from their wartorr
soil.
There can be no doubt of the neec
for thousands of our citizens to vol.

GREATEST STAKE
IN SAFETY DRIVE

Washington, D. c. ILNS).-Labor
has the biggest stake in accident
prevention, Secretary of Labor Fran
ces Perkins emphasized in explaining
the nationwide drive for million
fewer accidents and setting forth the
methods by which local unions may
qualify for certificates of merit in the
drive.
Sees Union Opportunity
"I am sure that labor organizations
will participate actively in the attain
ment of the goal of million fewer
accidents during the period July, 1914
through June, 1945," she said in a
folder, Something to Shoot At.
"The nation, management, and labor,
all have stake in the prevention of
industrial accidents. But labor's stake
is greatest in that it is personal
"Those unions which have already
undertaken activity in the important
field Of job safety, will find in the drive
new opportunity to obtain the active
interest of their members.
''To those unions which have not yet
put their plans for safety into action,
here is a chance to launch their pro-
gram as part of a national campaign
"Local unions which work with
plant management are achieving a re-
duction of at least 40 percent in the
accident experience of the preceding
year may join with management in
applying for the certificate of achieve
ment to be awarded for success ir
bringing about this reduction.
Committee Ready To Help
"The services of the Department Of
Labor's National Committee for the
Conservation of Manpower in Wal
Industries are at the disposal of or
ganized labor, in working out the de-
tails of sound safety program ant
in establishing training classes fol
training selected members of loca
unions in the basic principles of ac
cident prevention"
