Lee Harper, SO, a shipyard worker,

According to Mr.. Nowitsky
Harper gave this account OF the
shooting:
He was asleep in a room OF the
apartment he and Mrs. Harper
shared with Chief Watertender and
Mrs. F. L. Richardson when his wife
reused him and asked him to go out
for some beer. He said he refused
her request but there was no
argument between them and he
went back to sleep. He was awak-
ened by a shot and found his wife
IN the chair. He ran into the front
room and told the Richardson's

Current Comment

Tom @. Ellis Second Primary
Chances are bright, there seems to
be no doubt. Once in the second pri-
mary it is hardly to be thought that
his cleanness and ability would fail
TO land him in the Senate seat that
has been occupied by so many other
able and honorable Mississippians.
That is why it is so important to go
to the polls and vote for Ellis in the
Primary. Every possible vote to
add into the state count is desirable.
In one notable campaign Civilians
Vardaman) only 600 votes separated
the contestants. So, let Holmes
county where Ellis, his family and
forebears are so well known pile up
the biggest majority for Tom @. OF
any county in the state.
During Worl Won II our losses
Killed and missing, was near 100000.
Wounded and prisoners near 665,000.
During the, approximate same time
our accidental deaths were near
100000 and accidental injuries more
than 100000. We shudder at the
news Of battle deaths but take the
accident death pretty much as ;
matter OF course. We are SO accus-
toned to hair breadth escapes from
speeding vehicles, from falls and
burns and drownings that we hardly
give them a thought, until our own
family or circle is hit. 1t looks like
10000 of us will die this year in
automobile accidents, more than
half of them avoidable.

Roosevelt complete control of the
Court. The new Court proceeded to
decide each case on its merits" re-
gardless of prior decisions, some
times upsetting long established
principles by to 3 decisions-less
than a majority Of the Court thus

times changing again in later de-
cision so that no man, lawyer or not,
knows what is the law. And now

Additional Needy Cases
Placed On Payro|Is

Recent amendments to the FEEDER
al Social Security Act will mean,
among other things, that the needy
aged, needy children. and needy
blind people who a qualify under
Federal and State laws for assistant
ce, can be put on the payroll during
the next two or three months.
1t does not mean that those alrea-
dy on the assistance payrolls will
automatically receive an increase
since those who have never been
able to get on the rolls on account
of lack of funds must be considered
first. This procedure may take up
all the increase in funds, according
to Mr.. w. F. Bond, Commissioner
of the State Department of Public
Welfare.
Mr.. L. w. Rabb, County Welfare
Agent, will give full information
on this matter and together with
the County Welfare Board of five
members, one from each beat, will
