Bilbo Probe
Reveals Anti
Negro Terror

Jackson, Miss. (FP)-A barrow
ing tale of threats and beatings of
Negroes who sought to register to
vote is unfolding here before the
5-man Senate campaign investi-
eating committee which has to de-
eide whether Senator Theodore G.
Bilbo was legally elected by the
voters in his state.
Coupled with the testimony of
the scores of Negroes who have
already appeared before the COM
mittee are the admissions by cir
cult clerks that they advised
Negroes not to try to register and
that when the Negroes insisted,
they were asked difficult, legalis-
tic questions and disqualified
whether or not they answered cor
rectly.
Nearly 2C0 Negroes streamed in
to the courtroom to give their
testimony on the opening day of
the probe Twenty were heard by
the committee and nearly all testi-
fled they had heard Bilbo's pre-
election call to "every redblooded
American who believes in the sup
eriority an integrity of the white
race to get out and see that no Mig
ger votes"
First to testify was Percy
Greene, editor of the local Negro
newspaper, the Advocate, who said
he felt "afraid to register" after
hearing Bilbo's speeches. Greene
pointed out that only 315 out of
Jackson's 10000 Negroes had reg
istered because all the rest were
afraid of threats.
Etoy Fletcher, a war veteran
with more than two years service
in the Pacific, testified that he
tried to register, was turned down
by the officials, was picked up by
four white men as he left the reg
istration place and was taken to
the woods where "they beat me
with some kind of covered cable"
William Bender, Congregation
al minister, also tried to register.
However, he turned back when a
deputy sheriff with a pistol stop
ped him on the steps and dared
him to go inside.
Among the admissions made by
circuit clerks were the following:
81 think | told the Negroes in short
words they would have a hard
time convincing me they were
qualified to vote" 81 told Negroes,
generally, if | were them |
wouldn't show up any more, there
would be trouble" 81 made it a
good deal harder for Negroes to
qualify than for whites"
Heading the committee is Sen
ator Allen J. Ellender, who voted
against the FEPC and against
cloture in the polltax debate. Com
mittee hearings are being held in
the presence of Bilbo, who arrived
armed with battery of lawyers
and laughed the hearings off by
saying they were prepared by
bunch of piggers in New York"

Workers Cleared
On Riot Churqe

Philadelphia (FP)-Shocked by
revelations of police brutality, a
jury of small shopkeepers and
housewives here found IA union
men not guilty of charges or riot
ing, melting to riot and unlawful
assembly during strike against
the General Electric Co. Last Feb
ruary.
The men, members of United
Electrical Radio & Machine Work
ers were indicted as the result of
clashes that occurred when mount
ed and motorcycle police tried to
break up a peaceful parade by UE
members after the courts had
granted an injunction against mass
picketing near the GE plant.
AS the parade followed its line
of march, which led past the
plant, police charged with swing
ing clubs and a general fight en-
sued.
Sixteen men were arrested but
charges against two were drop
ped earlier for lack of evidence.
The jury, composed of eight wo-
men and four men debated their
verdict less than two hours before
clearing the remainder.
One juror, a women, remarked
after the trial that members Of
the jury had been mortified at the
evidence of police brutality and
were determined not to let the
men be sent to Jail.

don't usually quote laws and stuff, but the following sentence from Public Law Is seems to make pretty good sense: "The purpose of rehabilitation is to restore the em- ployability lost by virtue of handi- cap due to a service-connected dis ability"
 After the disabled ex-Joe or Jane has completed rehabilitation train ing, it's the Veterans Administra- tion's job to cooperate with local and national employment agencies to help the veteran get the kind of a job he's been training for.
 Naturally, the VA can't be com pelled to see that every disabled vet gets the right job after he's finished his training under Public Law Is. Sometimes those jobs just aren't available.
 Yet the VA will exert considerable pressure to place Public Is graduates in decent jobs. A disabled vet isn't really considered "rehabilitated" un- til he's got that job he's spent up to four years traning for.
 The VA has been handed large responsibility. When disabled vet applies for Public 16 training the VA vocational counseling boys swing into action. They try to steer him into the right paths of training, be- cause the law compels him to take vocational counseling if he wants to train under Public 16.
 And then, after the training is over, the VA is supposed to do all that's possible to get him. job.
 If an ex-service man said he want ed to get into radio, he'd be queried thoroughly, since surveys have indi- cated that certain types of radio jobs are going to be scarce in a few years.
 Many men got radio experience in the service, so it's likely that

vETERANS' GUIDE
By MAJOR THOMAS M. NAL

certain divisions of radio work soon may be overcroWded. That's why VA might try to keep Public 16 ap- plicants from starting training hap hazardly in the radio field.
 All the foresight possible has to be used in deciding what kind of training programs are going to be of most value for the disabled vets The counselorS must do their best to steer these men into programs lead- ing to jobs-jobs which have the best chance of being available at the end of the training period.
 To help the veteran while the VA is locating a good job for him after his training is finished, the same subsistence allowance he got while training will be continued for two more months. The VA also will pay travel expenses from the vets home to wherever he has to go to get his new job.
 III oilOiI, tllc OlodDlcu cA-oSi FiCc guy or gal who gets into training under this Public Law 16 is almost ward of the Veterans Administra- ton through the whole period of training-and for two months after wards, if it takes that long to find the job. VA looks after his health, gives him enough dough to live on, provides him with four years of the best training he can get, and, if at all possible, gets him a job-a good job.
 That's another reason why you disabled vets who are eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation will be doing yourself big favor if you can get mixed up with Public Law 16. It's much more personal than taking training or education under the CT Bill. But don't forget, the only vets eligible are those who have a service connected disability, pension and a need for vocational rehabilitation.

BEST-5ELLER TALE
 IS ON SCREEN FOR CApITCL'S FEATURE

Robert Montgomery, who served four years on naval combat duty, has the lead in They Were Ex- pendable" opening at the Capitol Sunday.
 This heroic M-G-M picturization of William L. Whites absorbing best seller tale of the part played by Torpedo Boat Squadron No. in the Philippine campaign might
 have been a slice of Montgomery's own experiences in the war, in which he served as a Lieutenant Commander in the South Pacific Unfolded with breath taking realism and stark drama, the pig
 ture faithfully follows Whites nar- rative of the gallant group of PIT shippers who find themselves eX- pendable in the fight to slow the Japanese offensive. Their six PIT boats battle against overwhelming odds, their gallant crews, whether they are victorious in sinking an
 
 enemy cruiser or are forced to sink their own boat when it is sabotag- ed, reveal an obstinate courage that is a glorious tribute to this branch of the service. Only a few of Squadron No. 3 survive in the thrilling action of They Were Ex- rendable,' but this powerful story of their devotion to duty will live as saga of grim bravery.
 Montgomery, as It. John Brick ley, commanding the squadron with an iron will brings the character completely to life in what will rank as one of the finest portrayals of his screen career. John Wayne CO., starred in the role of It. (jg) Rusty" Ryan, second in command, gives a fortnight and honest per formance, with Donna Reed adding a romantic touch as nurce whose devotion makes things easier for the "Expendables."
