With more children per capita

adequate tax revenue to assure
these children good schools and
adequate training for real jobs and
their rightful role in the South's
development.
Healthful, modern housing still
cannot be found by the majority of
Southern families, including a vast
army of veterans who are seeking
to establish family life and COM

As dramatically revealed by
the fact that one out Of every two

vent it from hearing Johnson's APP
peal and johnson from exercising
his rights.
In furtherance Of this conspiracy,
the mob broke into the Jail, took
johnson out and lynched him. The
sheriff and the jailer pretended to
do their duty but really sympa-
thized with and abetted the mob.
The final acts as well as the
conspiracy were alleged as con-
tempt. In an opinion written by
the late Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the court held that even
II the United States Circuit Court
had no jurisdiction to entertain
the petition for habeas corpus Of
one convicted in the state court,
and the Supreme Court had no
Jurisdiction of an appeal from
the order Of the Circuit Court
denying the petition, the Supreme
Court, and the Supreme Court
alone, had jurisdiction to decide
whether the case was properly
before il, and, until its iudg-
ment declining jurisdiction was
announced, II had authority to
make orders to preserve existing
conditions, and a lawful disre-
gard Of those orders constituted
contempt.
The court said it was unable t.
agree that the grounds upon which
the petition for habeas corpus was
presented were frivolous or mere
pretense. 1.-THE murder of the pc
titioner has made it impossible t.
decide that case" Justice Holmes
added.
On the basis of this decision, tn,
Government contends in the con
tempt proceedings against Levi
and the UNIV that the Distric
Court had power to issue the tenn
porary restraining order, and ha
corresponding power and jurisdic
ton to compel enforcement an
punish Lewis and the UNIV TO
wilfully failing or refusing to com
ply with such an order.

HEALTH REPORT
By JAMES L. HICKS

How's your health these days,
Joe? Well, you can take care Of
that by laying off a little bit or
maybe changing your brand, but
how bout that service-connected
disability that used to make you
ride the sick book in the army and
make you miss everything but
chow call from Eeveille to retreat.
Il it's stiIl bothering you, Joe,
you can 90 right around the
corner to your favOrite doctor
and have him fix you up and send
the bill to the Veterans Admins
tratiOn. Won't cost you a cent.
II the doc writes you a prescrip-
ton you can take that back
around the corner to your favor
lite drugstore and get it filed
free Of charge also. II you are
too sick to 60 to the doctors Of
fee. call him up and have him
come to you. The VA will still
pay the bill.
No kidding, Joe, all that service
is available to you under the Vet
Grams Administrations hometown
medical care program. All you have
to do is convince the nearest VA
medical officer that your ailment is
service-connected, and that report
| ing to a VA field station will work
unnecessary physical hardship on
you or cause you excessive loss of
time from your job. Your doctor
doesn't have to worry either-his
dough is guaranteed by the VA If he
has had the initiative to get himself
certified under the VAS statewide
! working contract for physicians.
MADAM, YOUR BED
IS WAITING!
The VAS home town medical
care program is even more liberal
when it comes TO the ills Of milady

Women war veterans may be ad-
mitted to private hospitals by civil
ian doctors for impatient treatment
of both service-connected and non
service connected disabilities if il
is an emergency which cannot be
met by VA because of the unavail.
