Court Sets Jan. Is
AS Execution Date
For Thornton Negro

January Is was set by the Mis-
sissippi Supreme Court Monday as
the date on which George Thorn
ton will die in the electric chair for
the murder of Roy Harrell, his for
mer employer.
Thornton, native Rankin coun-
ty negro, had served about Is
months in the army and was visit
ing here on furlough when Mr..
Harrell was killed in his home near
Brandon a year ago last month. He
was convicted of the crime at the
January term of circuit court and
sentenced to be electrocuted. The
state supreme court later affirm
ed his conviction and sentence but
an appeal to the U. S. supreme
court acted as a stay of execution.
The U. S. supreme court dismissed
the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
With the new execution date set,
Thornton's only apparent hope to
escape the death penalty rests in
obtaining gubernatorial clemency,
barring resort to some unusual le-
gal proceedings.
Under ordinary procedure, the
condemned man will be electro
cuted in the the county Jail some

Board has therefore announced
that, in order to meet the intent
of the law, their benefits may be
recomputed in order to credit to-
wards monthly retirement benefits
the wages they received after they
had once filed claim"
To prevent confusion or mis-
understanding Miss Smith issued
the following cautions:
/. Increased benefits will be
available only to workers IS or
older, who have claimed benefits
and who subsequently have worked
in jobs covered by the Social Sc
curity Act, and, generally, at high
er pay than their former average
monthly wage. The benefit amount
of widows, orphans or aged par
ents whose benefits were based on
wages up to the time of an insur-
ed workers death cannot be chang
ed.
2. Benefits will be re-calculated
upon request of beneficiary.
3. The announcement does not
mean that any person may receive
benefits while working in jobs
covered by the law. The law pro-
vides that benefits must be sus-
pended for any month in which
The Mississippi enterprise. (Jackson, Miss.) 1938-current, 1944-12-23

the beneficiary makes more than
$14.99 on a covered job.
4. There is no need for anybody
who has been working in covered
employment after he filed a claim
to ask for re-computation of his
benefits as long as his pay stays
as high as his average monthly
wage between January l, 1887 and
the date he filed his claim. On the
other hand, if his pay starts going
down-as a result Of illness. re-
duced hours, loss of his job or for
any other reason-the worker who
is IS or older should consult the
nearest office of the Social Secur-
ity Board at once.
The Jackson, Miss, office of the
Social Security Board is located at
124 South Parish street.

STATE

Tonight marks your last opportu- nity of seeing the hilarious comedy ''What A Woman" currently at Warmers state theater. Co-starring Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne What A Woman" is one picture you can't miss seeing. There's Some- thing About A Soldier" with Tom Neal, Bruce Bennett and Evelyn An- kers is the second hit of the current show.
 Another big production in the States parade of l944 hits makes its debut at that theater tomorrow with the presentation of the hilarious comedy No Time For Love" with Claudette Colbert and Fred MacNtur- ray in co-starring leads.
 It's been a long time since these two popular film stars have been cast together and the prospect of seeing them teamed in a picture should be a happy one for movie goers.
 The story has to do with an art photographer, Claudette Colbert, whose work hasn't been pleasing her-down-to-earth editor. Beacuse she is engaged to the publisher, Paul McGrath, her resignation is not accepted. Instead, she gets the as- signment of taking photographs of men at work underground on the Interborough Vehicular River tun- nel project.
 A little frightened, but still game, Claudette goes underground with the sandhogs where she meets q most attractive one in the person of Fred MacMurray who annoys her no end when he refuses to pose for a pic- ture. Thus is love born, although 1t takes a little time and many funny situations before the lady and gent concerned will acknowledge it. The lady is too proud and the gent is too tough. How they finally get to- gether, after plenty of slapstick and ingenious direction in true Leisen style. is said to make "No Time For Love" grand film fun.
 Incidentally, there's a great deal more to the picture than its rough- and-tumble story would seem to in- dicate. At one point the plot calls for a highly exciting and dramatic tunnel cave-in, necessitating the release of tons and tons of murky mud right on and over the heads of the principles. To say that none of them enjoyed the experience, would be putting 1t mildly. The fas- tidious Miss Colbert, who, in other scenes, lives up to her reputation as one of the best-dressed screen stars, received the worst of the mud bath as she was the shortest among the group.
 "Minesweeper" with Richard Arlen and Jean Parker will be the second hit.

NEW YORK-(UP)-The New lie is basically conservative in it's m according to the votes in an audienc

 Shostakovich had 186 votes, four more than Tchaikovsky. Sibelius boiled 155 and Mahler l52. One hundred or less votes were cast, in this order, for Cesar Franck, Mo- zart, Rachmaninoff, Mendelssohn, Haydn and Schumann.
 The symphonies which received the four highest votes will be played this season, between now and April. They are the Beethoven Seventh and Ninth, Schubert Seventh and Brahms Fourth.

Most of the time they seemed very appreciative," she said. T believe they really like the Dance. But that first show on Monday morningsl They whistle and stamp and call out remarks. One time one woman shouted-right after that series of turns when I fall down on one knee-'all right. ee- nuffl It almost broke me up. I was amused. I wanted to go down to the microphone and say, in a very sweet tone, all right, just close your eyes for little while because shall be on the stage only three minutes longer But didn't do 1t and maybe it was just as well. Ballet discipline can be a good thing sometimes. And 1t was only on Monday mornings that they behav- ed like that"

 It seems there was more to that purchase of the Ziegfeld Theater by Billy Rose than met the eye when the cabaret czar laid out $630,o0 for the property in couss the other day. He has a partner, none other than Ben Warden, own CT of the famed Riviera club across the Hudson in Jersey and an all- round business man with many irons in the fire.
 Rose and Warden have formed a corporation, with the former as president and the latter as secre- tary-Teasurer. They have ear- marked a bagatelle of $l,o00,000 for investing in shows and you can look for something extra special to mark their bow as production team next season when they take formal possession of the ziegfeld, which, properly enough, will retain that lustrouS name.
