New York-Lynch terror con-
tinued undated in several South
ern States this week, flaring up
in Marshall, Texas, where two
Negro veterans met death at the
hands of unknown persons. y
Although Texas police attempted
to characterize the lynchings as
isolated murders, Negroes in
Marshall live under the pail of
lynch law.
NAACP Investigators have re-
ported what they believe to be
two new lynchings to the Nation
al Office in New York and are
continuing their investigation in
spite of an ominous lack of CO.
operation by the towns police.
The two new victims of the ter
ror, both former CTS, were
Richard F. Gordon, 81, and Alonza
Brooks, rs.
Gordon's death, according to
police, was at the hands of a hit
and-run driver. But one of the
people who saw his body lying
on the road before it was taken
to the morgue, stated that his
throat had been slashed from ear
to ear, undoubtedly by knife,
that his head and body was hor-
ribly cut and bruised, and that
prints on the road leading to
where the vet lay, showed evil
dence that he had been dragged
through the streets tied to the
rear of an automobile. Negro
residents in the vicinity of the
killing, said they were awakened
early in the day by two automo-
biles containing groups of white
men, who were making a great
deal of noise, and who remained

about this in the Interior Department.

that we can attract the same quality

for so long been important in develop
ing industry.

young people always coming in.
Colleges Can Help
SOME of the best schools have been
cooperating in developing a new
breed of public servant. Many OF the
ablest students of Harvard and Yale,
for instance, have come into govern
ment service because those universi-
ties have taken an interest in public
administration If we can encourage
other major colleges and universities
to do the same, we'll get the people we
need and should have in government.
Private industry has successfully
picked good undergraduates for years.
Government should be able to attract
the right people just as efficiently.
Right now we're busy making room
for the thousands of veterans who left
Interior for military service. We are
expecting them to bring back new ex-
perience, new concepts of public serv-
ice, new determination to make their

think it's a very simple point. The
men l know and respect in public
service are there because this is the
kind of government they want to live
under. They realize that it's not

Bogart, Greenstreet, ln Orpheun's Conflict

A perfect" crime whose very perfection leads to the murderer's eventual undoing makes an ex- citing theme for Warner Bros.' new psychological melodrama, Conflict, which plays Sunday and Monday at the Orpheum theatre.
 The 3-star cast is headed by Humphrey Bogart, Alexis Smith and Sydney Greenstreet.
 Bogart, who played more of a romantic role in "Casablanca" and "To Have and Have Not" returns to the villainous type of characterization that first made him famous; and Greenstreet, who has been an outstanding meanie in several films delight fully portrays a brilliant psyche logist, who sets out with all the knowledge at his command to trap a man he believes to be a murderer.
 Returning from the stage to play the part of Bogart's wife is Rose Hobart. Alexis Smith is lovely in the part of the younger sister, whose beauty and charm are the indirect motivation Of the acts that lead to the disap pearance of the wife The mys- tery of the disappearance IS built step by step with growing sus- pense until the "confiict" be- tween Bogart and Greeustreet breaks into a brilliant and dra- matic solution.
