Army Cutting Dependency
Benefits Of Many Negroes
White Employers
Raging Against

Given AS Cause

JACKSON, MISS. - tANP) =
The persistent raging Of white
employers against the payment Of
government dependency allotments
to many Of their former low
paid employees is resulting in hum
dreds of Negro parents, wives,
and other relatives Of servicemen
being cut off from these pay
ments, it was disclosed Wednes-
day by the Jackson Advocate.
weekly publication here.
I'm recent weeks" said the
Advocate, there has been an in
creasing number Of dependent
parents of Negro service men
whose allotments have been dis
continued, in some cases rather
abruptly, without the dependent
having had prior adequate notice
III time to offer proof Of depend
ency before the allotment had
been discontinued.
From The very beginning Of
the payment Of dependency bene-
fits, there have been complaints
among certain employers, especial
y those In the lower paygroup,
to the effect that the payments
to Negro dependents are largely
responsible for the fact that they
are finding II increasingly diff

probability lay behind the grow.

Viewing the situation from III
angles" concludes the Advocate,
the drive to have the allotments
Of Negro dependents discontinued
or disallowed Is not going to in
crease the supply Of workers for
low paying jobs, but il fast be-
coming another element in the
widespread disaffection, frustra-
ton and bewilderment that is driv-
ing growing number Of Negro
workers out Of the state, and this
aside from the effect upon the
morale and spirit Of Mississippi
Negroes in the armed services
when they learn of the effect Of
such unwarranted action upon the
living conditions and welfare Of

Officer Fires ;
Shots In Mans
Body As He Fell
On Streets Dying

JACKSON, Miss. - AMP =
The victim of repeated threats
of white neighbors who apparent
ly coveted his 25-acre of rich delta
farmland, 33.year old J. C. Col
Inns was shot to death here early
Tuesday morning when at attemp-
ted to flee from a plainelothes Of
fieer.
Witnesses believe Collins, who
with his wife had just returned
to jackson after having been
driven off his farm by a group
of white men. thought the accost-
ing officer was one of the group
who on several occasions had
threatened to take his life.
objective W. A. Bigner, who
killed Collins, said he had simply
wanted to question him, think.
ing him suspicious character.
Collins was shot as he attempt
ed to escape after having been
placed under arrest by Bigner.
Three slugs were fired into his
body before he fell dying on the
street before he could be given
medical aid. Collins had no erimi,
nal record police admitted.
The detective said when he ask
ed Collins to stop walking he de-
clined and kept walking. He said
he caught up with Collins and took
him by the arm A moment later
he fired two shots both taking eff
feet in the abdomen, and the third
striking the fleeing man in the
back.
The shooting Of Collins brought
to light the fact that he, his wife,
Mrs. Thelma Collins and another
woman, Miss Ruth Jones, had just
come back to Jackson after his
life had been several times
threatened by groups of white
men, who drove them off their
farm after they had completed
laying-by a Is acre crop Of cot
ton and corn.
His sister stated that one of
the men had threatened to kill
him on sight no later than Mon
day. On reaching Jackson, Col
Inns first went to Justice Bell, and
assStar to Atty. Wade in an effort
to protect his interest in the crop.
Collins on the morning of the
shooting had sent a truck to his
place to obtain personal belong
ings and two hogs he had plan
ned to market. The farm is To-
Gated at Byrum, eight miles south
of Jackson.
As an outgrowth of the threats
on his life, Collins had assigned
his farm lands and crops to his
attorney, Mr.. Wade.
Although there was no appar-
ent connection between his death
and the crop circumstances, it is
the belief of relatives that fear
resulting from the recent threats,
especially due to the fact that
the officer was in plainclothes,
made him twice attempt to break
away from the officer after he
had been placed under arrest.

"You were never lovlier" may be the title of popular tune but 1t will also be an especially fitting description of our Bradley Field Wacs when they don their new off, duty dresses to be issued in the near future. As matter of fact, a little birdie in WAC supply says it will happen in few days, but we don't want to start run on the supply-room.
 According to description, (fem- inine) given to us by Pvt. Helen Fleck of Wac supply, the G.l. dresses are beige shantung, tailor made with long tailored sleeves, padded shoulders, zipper front, two patch pockets, a neckline that may be worn open or closed, a fitted belt and ornamental buttons. An overseas cap of shantung with the WAC braid and canary yellow chambray gloves and scarf com- plete the ensemble. Pumps may be worn with the dress.
 Given the name "off-duty dress the garment may be worn by the Wacs when not on duty, both on and off the Base.
