AXIS Make Appeal To Qualified
Women To Join WAVES, SPARS

Washington, d. C. Oct. 27.-The
National Non-Partisan Council on
Public Affairs Of Alpha Kappa AL
pha Sorority, this week, made a
special appeal that all qualified
Negro women interested in joining
the Women's Reserve Corps Of the
Nave-WAVES or SPARS-make
application Immediately to their
nearest recruiting station in order
that a backlog of recruits be es-
tablished for induction after JAN
uary LIST in accordance with the
recently announced plan Of the
Navy.
Making the appeal for the AKA
Council, Norma E. Boyd, national
chairman, urges that women take
advantage Of the hard-won gain to
serv their country and help them
selves personally. Speaking of the
Nays new policy to accept Negro
women, Miss Boyd said, "We have
only gotten over the first hurdle,
and that was an important one, but
our larger responsibility is that
Of following-through to e that
Negro women take this advantage
to forge ahead to greater oppor-
tunity for themselves and to help
bring about the ultimate defeat of
the enemy" She added, ct is a
misconception to think that the
war is nearly over and there is,
therefore, no need for the service
Negro women can render at this
stage Of the game. AS much as
we wish the peace, we know the
var is finished when the last shot
is fired and who ear say when that
will come. Besides, the need for
the services of the women's corps
will go far beyond the period when
hostilities cease"
Benefits which accrue to women
veterans when they are discharged
are the same as those which men
receive" Miss Boyd said. "These
include the provisions of the pop

Liberty, Miss.-The Amite Conn-

Southern tradition, has indicted six
white men for the murder of a
Negro.
The Grand Jury, which had been

the indirect pressure of Attorney
General Francis Biddle who had
denounced the Staying of Isaac

Judge R. E. Bennett accepted
$4,000 bail for each man, then
granted %severances permitting each
of the six men to be tried sep
arately, placing the case on the

Brown explained that under Mis-

tory when asked for, and that muir
der is not measured by degree, but
the punishment, life Imprisonment
or death, is fixed by the jury if it
is unanimous in its verdict Of
guilty.
Witnesses Disappear
Early last week, when the Grand
Jury took up the Simmons case, it
appeared that the inquiry would
collapse because four key witnesses
were missing, including Eldridge
Simmons, son of the aged victim,
who had signed an affidavit des-
cribing the murder of his father
and naming four of the accused
men.
Sheriff Wiley Smith explained
at the time that the missing Ne
egroes had vanished from the COM
munity for some reason he was at
a loss to explain. He said the case
might be shelved for lack of evil
dence, but Attorney General Bid
die at Washington announced that
a report on an FBI investigation
of the crime was being given to
the Amilite County prosecutor
with a request that it be placed
before the Grand Jury.
Biddle disclosed that he ordered
the FBI probe in August when he
learned that, although the murder
occurred in March &c, no action
had been taken by Mississippi au-
thorities. "Our investigation shows
that a particularly revolving crime
has been committed" said Bidd.e,

there was a re-announce-
