\ ''Under a recent ruling of the
United States Supreme court, the
department of justice is bound to
take action leading to prosecution
in these three cases. The lynchers
are guilty under federal law. In the
past the department has weaseled
out of such prosecution on the ex-
cuse it lacked jurisdiction. That
excuse can no longer be made. The
lynch-murderers can be prosecuted
under the Federal Civil Rights
law, imprisoned for from one to

mother Of the villa, is the guy the
gals call for when tempers become
frayed. With only two bathrooms
and one telephone in the place, the
fraying comes easy.
Trouble f1ared the first night after
the trial opened when a French
woman correspondent got her Paris
Office on the line and began dictat-
ing her story in a loud voice.
AS time and her story wore on,
a British woman correspondent
emerged from her room and de-
clared:
Il will give you just is minutes
to get of that phone. You're keep
ing everybody awake"
Twenty minutes later, with the
French lass sill going strong into the
phone, the British woman few out Of
her room. She yanked the telephone
out of her colleagues hand and
clamped it firmly between her knees.
II told you'll" she shouted.
Instantly every room in the villa
erupted with girls Of all nations in
curriers', pajamas and other f1imsies
crowding into the hall.
Somebody screamed for Mike.
Mike arrived quickly and put
down the disturbance. The tele-
phone was banned from then on for
long distance use.

Then there was the affair of the
bathtub.
A girl representing a Paris news
paper discovered the bathroom en-
tirely deserted one night. Overjoyed,
she turned on. the warm water, went
to her room to collect her towel and
toilet articles.
When she got back the door was
locked and some one else was
splashing in the tub.
Enraged, the Paris girl shouted
This is too much. Get out! Get out!
Get out!"
When she met no response she
shattered the glass in the door with
a blow from her fist.
Again the females spilled into the
corridor. Again came the distress
call-"Hey, Mike!"
Rubbing the sleep from his eyes,
