HAZEL

Some kind of definite action can now

committee in the State Senate and will
be considered at next Wednesdays SEES

We hope hat the Mississippi State
Legislature will see fit to enact a fair
workmen's compensation law one
that will be fair for labor and attract
i've enough for industry to come to Mis-
sissippi.
Mississippi cannot afford the luxury
of letting the future take care Of itself.
We must do as much as We can to in
sure the future of our men who are now
in the service and will be returning
home looking for jobs. II they cannot
find jobs in Mississippi they will go
elsewhere and we cannot afford to lose
these young and vigorous citizens.
The only one of 4s states not to have
a law protecting workers, Mississippi
cannot bid for industry on an equal
basis with other states. Capital cannot

On January !, this year, Mississippi

this number 1871 800 are engaged in uni

Jap Hates White
Man., Says Emory NJ
Professor Here
Durunt Rotorions
Heur Noted
Speaker Tuesday

The Japanese nave a natural and
fanatical hate for the white man due
to the white mans explorations of
them, said Dr.. Arva C. Floyd, Emory
University professor, in an address be-
fore the Durant Rotary Club at its
meeting Tuesday noon.
DIR. Floyd is professor of Missions and
Oriental History at Emory U. in Atlanta,
Ca, and has lived in Japan a number
of years as a missionary. He taught
in government-maintained schools there
and observed Japanese life and thought
first-hand. He has been a student Of
the Orient for over 20 years.
The speaker said we should not get
up false hopes about the Japanese peo-
pie giving up because they are schooled
in the strictest fashion and the younger
generation knows nothing but the mill
tary.
The Jap is fanatic in its belief that
his Emperor is the son of Goo and that
even the earth he stands on is sacred.
Every Jap feels complete disgrace to be
captured by his enemies and this is
borne out in the few hundred prisoners
America has captured, he said. The
Japs bear out their tradition in dying
rather than being imprisoned.
Christianity has lost a lot of ground
in Japan, DIR. Floyd said, because OF
the military.
The speaker was introduced by the
Rev. w. p. Bailey. p. A. Mitchell had
charge of the program which was en-
joyed by those present.

Leader OF Toughs
Caught In Ithula

Ralph Ward, %, leader of a gang of
~county's "escape-proof" Jail Saturday
afternoon, Feb. Goth, was captured just
outside of Tchula Monday morning,
seven hours after the other two bandits,
Lawrence Motari, 81. and Roy Drake,
20, were captured in Greenwood, thirty
miles from Tchula.
According to reports Ward walked up
to the bach door of A. L. Bigham, Cru
ger schoolteacher, early Monday morn
ing and informed Mr.. Bigham that he
was having breakfast" with him. Mr..
Bigham replied that he was not as they
did not rave breakfast at home. Ward
then confronted him with a pistol after
which Mr.. Bigham invited him into the
house.
He was reported to nave remained in
the Bigham home for about an hour and
when he left intimated that he was
taking Mr.. Bigham with him. On the
ed his mind but did take their car and
told them not to inform anyone until
six O'Clock that night.
Mr.. Bigham was said to have hailed
Jake Parker, another Cruger resident,
and they went uptown finding the
bandit at a gasoline station getting gas.
After a few words were exchanged Ward
took Mr.. Parker's car and sped away.
1t was Parker's car that turned over
and completely wrecked in the chase
that followed, Ward being pursued by
FBI officials and others from Green
wood.
Meanwhile Holmes county law-enforce-
ment officials had blockaded the road
between Tchula and Lexington when in
formed that he was heading this way.
Death penalties will be demanded by
the state for the three youthful bandits
who during their 80 hour of freedom
kidnapped four persons, stole nine auto
mobiles, committed at least seven rob-
berries and trussed or locked up more
thar 20 persons.
The youths were in Jail awaiting trial
for robbing the Robert f. Lee Hotel in
Jackson several weeks ago and have ad-
mitted tina they are in the hottest"
spot they've been in a crime career that
had its beginning in a robbery that put
them in San Quentin prison in Cali
fornia from which they escaped the day
after Christmas.
Theprisoners are being held in Jack
son in solitary confinement according
