FIT. BENJAMIN HARRISON,

victed in the 100000 riot here on
May 81 when eight barracks were
burned down.
The three men we're picked out as
the leaders of 500 who ran amuck in
an effort to release prisoner from
solitary confinement. Capt. Lipsey,
the convicted men charged, had hit
the confined prisoner and subjected
1im to other brutal treatment.
The men convicted by a military
court here on charges of violating

Marsh, seven years; William H.

James William Darlington, a

releasing a prisoner from solitary
confinement, who had been placed
there by Capt. Lipsey. Another wit

Washington entered the barracks
with black jack, a knife and rocks,
then broke out windows, opened
cells and released prisoners.
Upon cross examination by de-
fense lawyers, Denton's story was
discredited. The government esti-

been caused by the burning of the

The promise to insist upon early
consideration in the senate of leg

FEPC was promised in a joint
statement by Sens. Joseph H. Ball
of Minnesota, and Harold Burton
of Ohio, both Republicans.
In their statement the two legis-

FEPC item from the legislative
program for next fall outlined by
them. They took no cognizance,
however, of the failure of Sen. Rob-

In British politics, the prime min

majority party in commons, with
its 615 members. Thus should the
conservatives ride to power again,
Churchill again could be looked for
to lead the government, or turn the
job over to fellow-partisan like An

FREIGHT RATES:
Equal Break

The South's long struggle for par
ity in freight rates was partially won
with the Interstate Commerce COM
missions order equalizing rail
charges for manufactured and high
grade goods in all sections from the
Atlantic seaboard to the Rocky
mountains.
AS result Of the ices order call
ing for an increase in so-called class
freight rates in the East and a re-
duction in the South and West, in
dustrial products in the latter two
regions will be able to enter mar
kets on a more equal footing with
eastern manufacturers.
At the same time, however, both
the South and West were allowed to
enjoy lower rates on such bulk COM
modities as coal, livestock, lumber,
grain, cotton and sand. As previ-
ously worked out, the freight rates
favored eastern industries and south
ern and western prime producers,
establishing an economic pattern
which the South recently has been
fighting in order to attain more bal
anced economy for full utilization Of
her material and labor resources.

MORE DRIVING:
Up Gas Rations

Lessened demands following Ger
many's capitulation plus the tremen-
dous production of the industry
made possible an increase of from
four to six gallons in the "a" card
gas ration and the boost in the max
imum "B" allotment to $50 miles a
month for the whole country.
Because Of the necessity of re-
arranging manufacture, transporta-
ton and distribution facilities, the
increased rations will not become eff
fective before June % for the "a"
and June II for the "B" cards.
With the bulk of U. S. shipping
slated to haul supplies over great
er distances to the Pacific theater,
transport demands for fuel will be
even larger than for the German
Jap fronts combined, thus dimming
any prospects for an increase in oil
rations for home heating.
