To the Voters of Jackson County

This. perhaps, will be my last opportunity to COM
municate with you in regard to my candidacy for District
Attorney of the Second Judicial District of the State of
Mississippi. First, however, | want you to know that |
have certainly appreciated my contacts with you, and the
fine manner and many courtesies that you extended unto
me while was in your midst. | regret that the limited
time allotted to the campaign prevented me from seeing
all of you.
On next Tuesday, you will go to the polls and vote for
your District Attorney; and it S my sincere hope that you
will cast that vote for CASTOR Henderson Hewes. l know
that / am qualified to serve you, and / desire to prove
that fact to you. | have had fourteen years OF service
as County Prosecuting Attorney in Harrison County, an
office whose duties are similar IN character to the duties
of the District Attorney; and my preparation, both by
study and actual experience during the past fourteen
years makes me feel that am better qualified to serve
you. My ability as a prosecutor has not been questioned,
and the endorsement in four different elections by my
people should display that am not deserving of that
criticism.
AS you know, I have conducted my campaign on a
high plane, as | realize that the dement's of another cam
didate does not qualify me, but that the essential charao-
teristics of honesty, integrity, experience and ability
should control; and that is what | base my hope in secur-
ing this promotion, for which | have prepared myself. /
am not obligated to any person, corporation, or group of
persons, other than the entire populace of this district;
and ! promise that if you elect me as your District At
torney that you will receive an honest, fair and competent
administration during the period of time that | serve
you as District Attorney. The fine reception that has
been accorded me makes me feel that you desire that
kind of administration, and that | shall be your choice
on election day.
In some elections, there is what is known as "last
minute propaganda" and should any appear during the
waning days of this campaign, | ask you to weigh the
source from which such propaganda arises to determine
its truth; and also to remember that the people with whom
have resided since birth have publicly endorsed both my
character as a private citizen and my integrity and ability
as a public official four times during the past fourteen
years.
l appeal to all of the people who are interested in a
fair, honest and competent administration of the duties
of District Attorney to go to the polls on May 1, 1915, and
cast your vote for CASTOR Henderson HeWes.
l again thank you for the many courtesies extended
to me during this campaign.
Sincerely yours,
CASTOR HENDERSON HEWES

fees of the United States Employ
ment Service placed 1,116 workers

flee manager. reported yesterday.
Mr.. Friend said a record was set
in the placement and assistance to
veterans with jobs obtained for 1872
veterans, an increase of 25 per cent

lishments have failed to apply for an
essential listing.
OF the placements recorded by the
Office, 1,001 were with EMPLOYERS
designated as essential or locally
needed, Mr.. Friend said. He said
several automobile repair shops have
not applied for a locally needed
designation, although they are
eligible.
At the two offices, 50 workers ap-
piled last month for statements of
availability, of which 63 were granted
and 10 denied
Active orders from employers as of
January /, totaled 987 and during
the month there were requests for
1,277 additional workers, leaving
1,12Q such requests on file February

Dr.. Byrd Plans to Make U. Of Md.
Center for Study Of i. S. Culture
Courses in American History, Literature
And Government to Be Compulsory

gram, DR.. Byrd said the univer-
sity Is interviewing nationally
known educators in all sections Of
the country in preparation for the
expansion of the faculty that viii
become necessary when the plan
goes into effect.
DR.. Byrd said he could not esti-
mate the number of additional in
structors needed. He added that the
State Legislature already has ap-
proved an increase of approximately
$370,000 a year to defray the ex-
penses of the new program.
Summer Institute Planned.
Because of the radical changes In
the university's curriculum as re-
suit Of the new program, an Insti-
tute of American Civilization will be
held this summer at the university
in which teachers will be trained in
the details of the plan.
DR.. Byrd also revealed that the
university will sponsor a series OF
forums throughout the State at
which lecturers will give the courses
to those attending the meetings No
college credit will be given for such
courses, however.
DR.. Byrd emphasized that the pro-
posed courses will not be ordinary
ones but will stress such subjects
as the relationship of American
geography to regional thinking and
its influence on our national life
"We want to give every graduate
of the university a real idea OF
what constitutes the American way
of life," DR.. Byrd explained. If
we've got something worth while in
this country, we ought to see to ii
that our people understand it,"

JurisdictionoI Dispute at National Airport
Delays Burial Of EmpIoye for 36 Hours

Because both the District and
Virginia refuse to claim jurisdiction
over the National Airport, it took sc
hours to get permission to bury an
airport employe who died on the job,
it was learned today.
Airport Manager Hervey F. Law
tells this story:
A guard, employed as a fire fight
er, was found unconscious in the
guardroom about 4 o'clock one morn
ing. A Pennsylvania Central Air
lines doctor who happened to be at
the airport was called and pro-
nounced him dead.
Realizing that the body couldn't
be moved until a CORONER issued a
certificate, the airport assistant
manager called District police head
quarters to locate the District cor
oner. The District police said the
airport wasn't in their jurisdiction
and suggested the Arlington County
coroner.
Arlington County said it wasn't in
its jurisdiction either, so calls were
Iput in to the Alexandria police and
the Park Police. Again, the juris-
dictional question came up.
Meanwhile, the mans family was
fcalled. A brother requested that
the body be moved to the S. H. Hines
funeral home here. Not knowing
what else to do and reluctant to
leave the body lying at the airport
until jurisdiction could be settled
airport officials removed the body
to the funeral home in an airport
ambulance.
At first the funeral home refused
to accept the body without cor
oner.s certificate, but finally agreed
with the understanding It couldn't

touch the body until the coroner had
seen it. Later that day the under
taker called to report that DIR. A,
Magruder Macdonald, District cor
roner, had refused to sign a certificate
because the man had died at the
airport. Without that certificate,
the funeral home couldn't get a
burial permit.
The next morning the airport
turned over its problem to the Civil
Aeronautics Administration gen.
eral counsel, who also called Mr.
Macdonald. Still unsuccessful, the
CAA discovered the man was a vet
eran and promptly called the Vet
erans' Administration to enlist its
aid.
Late that night, about 36 hours
after the mans DEATH DR.. MacDon-
aid issued the certificate.
"The airport is no mans land,

could happen to airline passengers

Confirming the story. DR.. Mac
Donald said he had only issued the
certificate so the man could be
buried. He revealed that after this
incident he had suggested to the
airport that If some one else dies
at the airport the victim. should be
taken to an Arlington County, Alex
andria or District hospital to be
pronounced dead.
Then there wouldn't be any
question OF jurisdiction" he said
