COMPLETELY engulfed the case of the
Army Officer charged with attempt
ed rape of a. Negro girl elevator
operator at a local hotel. The Off
Ger was arrested by local police
following the attempted rape, which
took place on July "a, when the
officer got in the elevator operated
by the girl and had her take him
to the top floor where he began to
make advance to her, and when
she refused, started to force her.

NECESSARY
ANY fair minded person recog-
nizes that the Negroes In Missis-
sippi have had poor educational
facilities particularly IN rural dis
tricts. This condition perhaps might
have been understood In the past,
in light of the general poverty OF
many Mississippi counties. But now,
with financial conditions and with
state Golfers showing a substantial
balance, there is no reason why
Negro educational facilities in Mis-
sissippi educating in excess OF 5000
overhauled and improved.
Catholic priests and various COM
munities of Sisters are doing a yeo-
mans service to the Negro IN Mis-
sisippi, educating in excess Of 5000
colored pupils, only forty percent OF
whom are of the Catholic faith.
Other religious bodies have also ac~
complished much.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
It is interesting to note in the
Delta council recommendations
that vocational type of training
is urged for the Delta schools sys-
TENS. This type of education seems
more appropriate if Mississippi
hopes to retain these students as
future citizens.
A recent experiment along voca-
tional lines for colored students has
succeeded remarkably at st. Fran
els school, 4azoo City, and at a
completely rural school near Cam
den.
The philosophy behind these
schools is the spiritual and physical
welfare of the Negro living in the
rurals, of semi-rural Mississippi
which location can best be served
by vocational training. These two

The highly Influential Delta

political leaders devoted to the
progress of the Delta section of the
State of Mississippi, recently pre-
pared q six-point program for rec

are worthwhile reprinting in full.
They are as follows:
|. That better school buildings
and equipment be furnished to Ne
groes of the State, this to be
effected by legislation permitting
counties to levy up to a two mill
levy and a biennial appropriation
by the legislature of $2,000,000 to
match funds secured by the tax.
2. That multiple adoption Of
textbooks be recommended.
3. That. increased salaries be
paid to better trained Negro teach
erS.
4. That Junior college be es-
tablished in the Delta for training
Negro teachers, to be maintained by
state appropriation.
S. That the county superinten-
dent of schools in the Delta coun-
ties be urged to have county surveys
made of their Negro school systems
with the idea of relocating schools

tional high school, if necessary.

IAavenworth's Tech Tigers, conn ing off an impressive 47-4l basket ball decision over favored Naugatuck high, will be strongly favored to add Wilby's Wildcats to its victims when the two local high school clubs clash Wednesday night at the Grove street gym.
 Crosby, winner over its Alumni Christmas night by 3330 score, and then spelling Torrington's un- beaten string 44-3l Friday, travels to West Haven tonight for a test with Frank Fitzgeralds Shoremen. Tomorrow night, Ansonia, defeated by Crosby, comes to Naugatuck for a game between traditional sports rivals.

 The Leavenworth- -Naugatuck game was a thriller -diller, super-duper, g-dong hoop drama that Coach Bill Tracy earned a 7-2 edge in 4 minutes; but were behind l7-1l In the next four minutes only to pick up and lead at half time 27-24 i; with Naugatuck's strong II to 5 favorite to win before the first whistle. Joe Eiduks and Jimmy Piersall scored 36 points for Leaven- worth, Jack Stinson and Winnie Healey 34 points for Naugatuck; and the final figures on the score board and books read Leavenworth AT, Naugatuck 4l.
 As usual, Naugatuck put on a driving finish. but too late to catch the inspired Tech Tigers; but the finish left everyone limp with ex- citement. Score:

Orange Bowl
 Tulsa 26, Tech 12
BY RICHARD C. GLASS

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Miami, Fla, Jan. 2.-UP)- Tulsa's Golden Hurricane balanced its bowl book" today with glori- ouS 26 to l2 revenge victory over Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl which squared accounts for the loss suffered to the same team in the l944 Sugar Bowl game.
 Staging the first football upset of l945, before 30,000 fans the Tul- sans struck for a touchdown in the first four minutes and left no doubt thereafter that they would conquer the willy Engineers without diff culty.
 Coach Henry Franka. the young mentor who has sent Tulsa to four Bowl games in as many years, crossed up the opposition with q style of play totally unlike that which had held the Oklahomans in good stead through the regular sea- son. Instead Of concentrating on ground game. the oil country boys chose to throw the ball, and passes accounted for two of their four touchdoWns. And on pass defense, their weakest department all season, they were seldom found wanting, hurrying the Tech passers and smothering their receivers to nul- lify an aerial attack that had been effective throughout the 1914 seas son.
 HOcus Focus
 The most spectacular play of the day. a double dazzling lateral from Perry Moss to Clyde Goodnight to Barney White in the third period was good for Co yards and a touch- down and looked as if 1t might have been lifted from Tech Coach Bill Alexander, himself, the old master of gridiron hokus pokus. That play even overshadoWed q 90-yard kick off return for a touchdown by Camp Wilson to provide Tulsa'S final score. Those two were scarcely necessary because Moss, the Tulsa spark plug. and Ed Shedosky had collaborated for the first two all-im- i portant touchdown. Moss tossed a l4-yard pass to Shedlosky for the first score and engineered the drive to the five yard line where She'd losky worked the messy Statue of Liberty play for the second.
 Techs one passing threat produced ] its first touchdown with Prank Broyles throwing 3l yards to Johnny Mcintosh, who went 20 more to score. The last score of the game came on two-yard plunge by Rumsey Taylor of Tech.
 IL was the first defeat after seven straight successes for southeast ern conference team in the Miami classic.
