cident with a repeatedly grow
ing movement for his impeach-
ment, Atty Gen Tom Clark an
nounced last week that he has
ordered the Monroe, Ga. lynch
ing last July, to be presented to
a Federal grand jury.
At the annual Herald-Trib-
une forum here Clark made the
announcement following a
stirring rabuke to American
justice made by Oliver Hat
tington of the NAACP. who was
also one of the forum speakers.
For the crime of race hatred
and lynching,' Harrington
pointed out, there has never
been a conviction in the history
of the United States" Harring-
ton further charged that jus
tice in the United States IS for
whites only"
Clark did not state that his
department knew the identity
of any of the lynchers, but he
felt certain that he had Suf1l-
cient information for a grand
jury presentation, Harrington
called the forums attention to
the record the are Department
Of Justice had not tracked down
a single person responsible for
the vandalism in the colored
community at Columbia, Tenn.
Clark did not mention the
date when the Georgia lynch
ing would be presented, but it
is known that the next Federal
jury will convene at Athens,

Atty Banks's efforts in saw
ing Ward 9's only public park
was cited as proof of his fit
ness for office. When plans
we're being carried out to
close Madison Park as a recre-

State law on parks which stat
ed that Commons and parks

the law to him. The Commits

NAVY LOOKS AHEAD

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, Chief of
Staff for the Navy, says that warships are
likely to present difficult and unprofit-
able targets for atomic bombing" because
they will be dispersed and possess consid-
cradle mobility. - f1,. nav ,H"oraP
He urged the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee to provide advanced bases for
future operations, saying that the next war
may be largelya struggle for air bases
from which to launch bombing attacks and
insisted that our carrier-based' aircraft
could make it very difficult" for an enemy
to attack this country with atomic bombs
The Admiral also called attention to-
the possibility that the submarine. might
become the'vweapon of the future being
adapted for carrying atomic weapons
within short distances of coastal targets
and for insuring accuracy in the use of
guided missiles
The Admirals testimony was backed
up by Secretary of the Navy Forrestal, who
expressed the view that eff this country,
in the present state of the world, goes back
to bed, we don't deserve to survive" He
had reference, of course, to the disarma-
ment after the last war and the ostrich
like tactics of the nation in the succeeding
years.

awakened, because on that day, for the
first time since the books were opened in
January, line formed in the lobby of the
courthouse, leading to Supervisor Eng

The line, at times, was twenty feet or
longer, and as soon as it was shortened,
more residents arrived to qualify.
It demonstrated that residents gener-

1t was Indicated this morning at the

sixth and seventh precincts, at Marathon
