Richardson Given
Death Sentence
In Second Trial

The death sentence imposed on
Johnny Richardson, negro, con-
yicted in circuit court in Jackson
County last fall of the rape of
a white woman was upheld at a
new trial granted the defendant
by the State Supreme Court and
held in Harrison County Tues
day.
The jury, which remained out
of the box an hour and rs min
utes, returned the verdict of
guilty and Judge l. c. Corban
sentenced Richardson TO die in
The electric chair July %. T, !
White, attorney, declared, hove
ever, that another appeal will be
filed. This win automatically
save Richardson from the chair
on the date set as the Supreme
Court is now recessed and will
not reeonvene before fall.
Testimony in the case was vir-
tually the same as that in the
first trial held in Pascagoula but
a crushing blow was dealt the
defense by the state, represent
ed by District Attorney r. c.
Cowan and County Attorney l..
X. Mcintosh, when Richardson
admitted during the preliminary
hearing before the Judge ON adj
mission of the confession into the
evidence that he had read and
signed the confession. When
asked further by Mr.. Cowan if
the contents were true, the ne
gro replied that they were.
The young woman who charg-
ed that Richardson entered her
room at the Victory Cafe on
Canty Street in Pascagoula in
the early morning hours and
criminally attacked her after
she had struggled with him for
more than an hour, took the
sand to tell her story to a jury
for the second time.
The trial was held in Harrison
County after j Judge Corban
granted change of venue during
the spring term of circuit court
in Jasekson County on request of
Defense Attorney White. The
judge pointed out that the case
had received a good deal of pub
licity during the first trial and
he anticipated difficulty in OBJ
tanning a jury in this county.

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-11-25

president ROOSEVELT has
i announced his intention to urge
approval of a universal youth train
ing program by the next Congress,
emphasizing the great need for such
a program disclosed by the nations
experience in the present war.
The wholly DEMOCRATIC
Swiss system of universal military
training has been extremely bene-
fetal for the youth Of Switzerland,
and moreover it has kept Switzer
land OUT OF WAR.
It would be equally good for
American youth, and in all proba-
bility would tend to keep AMERICA
out of future wars.
AS the President observed, the
wartime selective service system
brought out an appalling number of
youths physically, mentally and NOR
ally unfit for military service.
And it goes without saying that
the same segment of American
youth, and for the same reasons, was
almost equally unfit for an adequate
and competent performance of the
duties of citizenship.
OF COURSE this is tragic evidence
" of the nations neglect and waste
of its most priceless asset in the past.
And, of course, comprehensive
and DEMOCRATIC program of ma
tional youth training, for defense of
the country in time of war and for
high level performance of the duties
of citizenship at all times, would
largely prevent such neglect and
waste in the future.
The President refrained from lay
ing down more than broad outline
of the desirable and beneficial pur-
poses of such program, saying it is
the responsibility of Congress to de-
termine the vital matters of scope
and method.
Mr.. Roosevelt is absolutely
RIGHT about that.
1t is the responsibility of Con-
gress.
Congress should make very ex-
haustive study of the nations un-
happy experience under selective
service, and the reasons for it.
Congress should especially inform

THE American people most GER
l. tainly do NOT want system of
permanent military reorganization.
1t would be one thing, and very
good thing, to have every American
devote certain period in his youth
to requirement of the essential skills
and technical knowledge of national
defense and competent citizenship.
It would be quite another thing,
and very bad thing, to have per-
manent and professional military
CLASS emerge from this system, and
especially to have an arrogant mill
tary ARISTOCRACY grow out of it
There has been at least one nation
which has gone about universal mill
tary training the RIGHT way, the
efficient and wholesome and DEMO
CRATIC way.
That nation is, of course, the ad-
mirable and democratic Swiss nation.
Switzerland, though surrounded
by belligerents in two great wars, has
maintained it's peace and security; in
contrast with the United States
which, though remote from the
original belligerents in the same
wars, was unable to maintain either
peace or security.
Switzerland was able to do this
without being military power.
It was able to do it by building
up over a period of years a formula
BILE structure of trained civilian re-
serves, which every able bodied
Swiss citizen participated in and
which every nation in Europe has
RESPECTED.
The American people are very
much interested in this successful
and democratic Swiss system.
The American Congress should
make very earnest study of the
Swiss system.
It's the best EXAMPLE we have
before us of the attainment of our
own essential and vital detectives,
and from the very beginning of the
important undertaking which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has now recon-
mended to Congress we should be
sure to FOLLOW good example.
