GEORGIA JUDGE RApS
U. ). SUPREME COURT

ATLANTA, Feb. IA (ANP)-
Justice Warren Grice of the Geor-
gia Supreme Court took time out
to rap the United States Supreme
courts attitude on the rights of
Negro citizens while sustaining
the death sentence against 17-year-
old David Watkins, for the Staying
of Mrs. J. J. Council, 68-year-old
white woman, in robbery at Ma
con, Ga.
Not only did Justice Grice hold
that county jury commissioners
were not required to place Negroes
on jury lists in the same ratio as
whites, he dug into an old 154
Georgia decision that held the
Georgia Supreme court as co-equal
with the United States tribunal
and not subject to it's orders. The
Georgia justice reviewed the q. S.
Supreme courts ruling in the
Scottsboro case that granted a new
trial to Negroes convicted on rape
charges on the ground that Ne
groes were Systematically and ar
bitrarily excluded from jury rolls
bcaus of color.
1--WE have not reached the point
in the social affairs of Georgia
which would make it possible for
Negro jurors and white jurors to
work together and possibly eat to-
gether and sleep together, and
serve the ends of justice" Garrett
pointed out. The prosecutor has
been within his rights in keeping
Negroes off criminal court juries
since 1919 through the exercise of
peremptory challenges, Gri c e
opined, in ruling that youthful
David Watkins must die for the
murder of the aged white woman.

BABY DEVELOPMENT CLINIC
TO BE HELD AT ADLER'5

~ II uuhk0 ~ Az A6N -
The Baby Development Clinic
is a program given by registered
nurse on the staff of the Chicago
organization bearing the same
name. The program consists of a
full-color motion picture known as
Babies Can Be Fun" This silent
16 millimeter film shows the care
of the baby from the time it is
brought from the hospital to its
first day at nursery school,.
In the film, the young mother is
taught to give the bath, to dress
and diaper the baby, how to steri-
lize bottles and make formula if
baby is bottle-fed, how to begin
its toilet habits and many other
matters of Notwithstanding upon
which the well-being of the child
founded.
1t is recognized that families to-
day will not have nurses in their
homes to care for the newborn
infant, so a registered nurse is the
one in the film who teaches the
young mother the correct methods
approved by the medical and nurs-
ing profession.
Elsie Fuchs is the Registered
Nurse given the program the week
of March 18th at Adler & Child
Store.
Miss Fuchs augments the film
with running discussion and am
plifies it with the use of a demon
stration doll and other equipment
which she carries with her. Ques-
tions Of general nature will be
taken up for discussion and ans
wered insofar as practical. No
medical advice is given; whenever
a question indicates that the ad-
vice of a physician is needed, the
questioner is referred to her doc
tor.
The information supplied by the
film and by the nurse pertains to
the actual care of the we'll infant
and child in the home. Miss Fuch's
presentation Of this subject de-
pends upon her audience. Home
economic students who wish to be-
come mothers helpers will be
drilled in those duties which as a
student they can be expected to
perform safely. Nurses in training
at hospitals receive information
which augments that received in
their hospital training.
A gift booklet is given to each
person who attends the Clinic. This

Continued from Page D might be granted 1ast-minute re- prieve by the man who was his most hated enemy through the four years that De Gaulle led the French forces of resistance outside France.
 Only a reprieve from De Gaulle can save Laval, former premier of the Vichy government, from death before a firing squad. He was sen- fenced to death for treason by the French high court Wednesday.
 Laval declined to appeal to De Gaulle for mercy, but his counsel, Albert Maud, told the United Press that he expected to see the presi- dent 'in the very near future to plead for a new trial.
 Protest
 Maud said he had written De- Gaulle a formal protest against the conduct of the trial which resulted in Lavals conviction. Laval first was barred from the courtroom for insulting the court, then refused its invitation to return on grounds that he had been prejudged.
 De Gaulle was in Brussels at the time of Laval's conviction.
 It was revealed that Laval en- couraged a member of the German Gestapo as the condemned man was led past fte former premier's cell to be executed.
 Don't worry" shouted Laval. Tt lasts only few seconds and you can tell yourself it's just as though you were killed in a bus accident in the Place de LOperal"

Mystery Shrouds Nature
 OfAtOnlic Bomb Defense

Washington, Oct. 12 = (UP) - A veil of mystery shrouded House Naval Affairs Committee statement today on the progress made in de- yising defense against the atomic bomb.
 A committee report recommend ing postwar Navy of 1,082 combat ships said yesterday:
 There are indications that an ef- fective counter measure to atomic bombs has been developed to such an extent that they can be exploded far short of their objective without the necessity of locating their po- sition."
 No Comment .
 Committee Chairman Carl Vim son, D., Ca, was not available for comment. Several other members said they had not seen the report before 1t was made public and did not know the basis for the state- ment. They said 1t was not brought out in testimony of naval officers during discussion of postwar naval strength. One member said he would make inquiries.
 Rep. Ed V. Izac, D., Calif., how ever, told the United Press that 1t was information the committee has of the progress that has been made" He said the information came from officers of the Navy"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-10-12

Another member said whoever was responsible for teh statement has been listening to Bing Crosby or his brother" The Crosby Foundation, headed by Larry Crosby, brother of Crooner Bing, recently reported dis covery of an atomic bomb defense University of Chicago scientists who worked on the original bomb have denied a defense has been devised.
 British Claim
 GA British newspaper said recent ly that Britain had developed de- fense against atom bonnbc consisting of rocket-like projecticle that could be exploded before reaching its target by means of proximity fuse.)
 Maj-Gen. Leslie R. Groves, Army head of the atomic bomb project, declined to comment on defense measures before the House Military Affairs Committee last week ex- cept to say, we're not sleeping" :" Rep. Robert Grant, R., Ind, thought the statement in the Naval Affair Committe report might be an attempt to forestall efforts to learn what effect an atom bomb would have on @ major combat ship before fixing the size of the postwar Navy Some quarters, have argued that atomic bombs might wipe out all need for a navy.

action while serving aboard the submarine Perch.
 Several months later, convinced that Earlywine was dead, she mar ried another Navy man, John Pershing Ryder, in Cleveland, O.
 But people began to talk. Sev- eral wrote her leters saying that husband No. 1 wasn't really dead. Mrs. Earlywine Ryder got jittery, so she obtained an annulment.
 Deeper and Deeper
 Police said she then bided her time until early this year. Finally, after hearing no further word about Earlywine, she decided that he must be dead so she married husband No. 3.
 Two weeks ago Mrs. Burnett re- ceived a telegram from Earlywine saying that he had been rescued from a Japanese prison camp and was in Mani'a.
 He arrived Wednesday night and went directly to the Burnett's apartment ito talk things over" ," While No. 1 and No. 2 discussed their mutual problem in the living room, Mrs. Burnett collapsed in the kitchen after taking an overdose of sleeping tablets.
 Asked about his conversation with husband No. 3, husband No. 1 replied bluntly: We didn't get any, where"
 There was no report from hus- band No. 2. Presumably, he was hopelessly out of the running.

CContinued. from Page D the past month due to the fact that the boys are returning home in such large numbers.
 Though local residents have been mailing Christmas packages over- seas for the past four years, 1t is reported they experienced the usual difficulties with finding suitable boxes wrapping and addressing.
 A factor which has been greatly instrumental in reducing the num- Der of packages mailed this year, post office officials believe, was the Navy announcement that no parcels would be accepted by organizations who sponsor campaigns for public contribution of Christmas packages Both Army and Navy also instructed persons who have heard that their son. husband or brother Is expected to be shipped home by Christmas not to mail packages this year.
 Mail
 The most substantial reduction in Christmas overseas mail, however, has been attributed by postoffice of- ficials to the fact that some 1900 Waterbury men are now back in civ- vieS. Though the number of dis charged veterans is approximately one-fifth of that Of men still in the service. officials pointed out that many times 30 to 40 packages were shipped to one Servicemarl.
 The majority of Christmas gifts this year are going to the San Francisco APO, bound for men serv- ing in the Pacific, India, Burma, China, and Japan, post office per. sonnel reported.
 Though postal workers have lit- tie knowledge of contents of pack ages, merchants reported t h a [ Christmas buying for men overseas included far more luxury items than last year.
 Waterbury men, pushing with the Armed forces through Belgium and France to the German border and into the mid-Pacific last fall, re. quested canned food, woolens. soap, shaving cream and other necessities to promote comfort and well-being. Recent sales, the merchants report, comprised for most part luxury items such as wrist watches, toilet articles, books and hard candles.

 First eye-Witnesses to reach here by plane reported that Quonset huts and pre-fabricated huts just took off, in the high winds. Five hun dred nurses literally had their camp ripped from over their heads and took refuge in former burial caves. Communications were wrecked.
 The typhoons began about a week ago and reached their peak Wednesday. Worst damage was along the east coast and complete reports from that area still were not available.
 With ships unable to dock for a week or more, food supplies dwin- dled rapidly. The 20th Air Force immediately assigned 50 Super- fortresses to emergency flights on a seven-day schedule.
 The first 50 landed at Bolo Field on Okinawa at noon today. They carried 284 tons of food, enough for ll5,000 meals. During the next three days. they will deliver an ad- ditional 333 1000 meals.
 Some units had only two days rations left when the planes landed
 Damage Craft
 A Navy announcement at Pearl Harbor reported that 52 ships and 70 additional craft were washed or- to the beaches, while two tugs, 8 patrol yacht, a gasoline barge and a minesweeper sank in Buckner Bay and nearby points.
 The beached vessels included 10 LISTS, l3 LSMs, l7 LCIs, cargo ship, a repair ship, two gasoline tankers, an ocean-going tug, two minesweepers and miscellaneous craft.
 The Navy reported, admittedly in- complete, listed three Navy men dead and 10 missing. However, eye witnesses arriving said scores of bodies of sailors already had been washed ashore on Okinawa.
 (In Washington, the Navy an- nounced that four motor mine. sweepers and a submarine chaser were lost in a typhoon in the Okin- ava area Sept. l6-ls. Eighty-three officers and men aboard the mine- sweepers were missing or dead, the Navy said, but no loss of life was reported aboard the submarine chaser)
 The typhoons moved out to sea and at last reports were circling toward northern Honshu, the main Japanese home island.
