GEORGIA JUSTICE ON TRIAL

Herman Powell accidentally killed a white pedestrian with an automobile in Wrightsville, Georgia, about three years ago. A Georgia court sentenced him to life in prison. Before sen- tence Powell had the narrowing experience of just avoiding be- ing lynched. He later broke out of jail and fled north.
 He was apprehended in New Jersey and held for the Georgia police authorities. But while he was imprisoned in New Jer- sey the honesty of his story so impressed Judge Hartshorn, Representative Hartley and At torney Thomas Potter that they did everything in their power to defeat extradition, but with out success.
 Finally, Judge Hartshorn, who is personally acquainted with Gov. Arnell of Georgia, wrote to him personally in behalf of Powell, who was returned. Gov. Arnell replied, Georgia assured that Herman Powells person and rights will be fully protect ed.'
 But in the meantime Gov. Ar nell's time as Governor of the state is running out fast and Georgia is rapidly approaching the inauguration of the Lily white Talmadge."

TOBIAS ALARMED AT CRIME WAVE

New York-Channing H. To- bias, director of the Phelps-Stokes Fund expressed his alarm at the increasing crime in Harlem in an address the other night before the Cooper-Union Forum in the Great Hall at Eighth St. and Astor Place, New York City.
 MT. Tobias pointed out the fact that dens of iniquity in Harlem apparently work in connivance with the police while the better citizens seem unable to do any thing about the same. Petty thiev- cry is likewise on the increase and the lack of adult supervision in the home from three in the after noon until after six in the evening is responsible for considerable gang development among young SterS.
 Turning to the housing situa- tion MT. Tobias indicated that real estate owners and managers operating in the area were making income their sole concern and very often blocking all attempts at new housing developments.
 Another glaring accusation was the fact that many chain store de- velopments were moving out of the area because petty thievery was a constant source of loss.
 MT. Tobias called upon the city state and private individuals to combine and rid the commun- ity of many of these evils that peo- pie might have a better opportun- ity to develop honest decent lives. He emphasized the fact that this is a responsibility that must also be faced much more diligently by the people who live in the area and are desirous of better way of life.

HARRY T. BURLEIGH RESIGNS

After serving as baritone soloist at St. George Episcopal church in New York City for the past fifty two years Harry Burleigh has re- signed. With his passing goes one of the personality landmarks in the choir at St. George. His an- nual singing of Faure's The Palms on Palm Sunday had become a classic institution.
 In 1914 MT. Burleigh was hon. ored by St. George on the compile tion of fifty years of service.
 During the course of these years MT. Burleigh's fame has spread all over the world wher- ever spirituals have been sung for he has not only written them but arranged many.
 For twenty-five years he was also a member of the choir at Temple Emanu-Ef at Fifth Ave nue and Sixty-ffth St.
 
 But perhaps the most outstand- ing contact that MT. Burleigh had during his musical career was his close association with Antonin Dvorak, the Bohemian composer, when he came to America to teach composition. It was Burleigh's in fuence that later made Dvorak include Swing Low, Sweet Char tot" as the leading theme in the first movement of his "New World" symphony.
 MT. Burleigh as he retires from his musical career is eighty years old.

 There was no authoritative word whether negotiations were progress ing between the Soviet and Iranian governments,
 Iranian political circles believed that the appointment of Hamid sayah as minister plenipotentiary to Moscow may mean that new nego- tlations will start quietly in Moscow. An agreement there might cause Tran to withdraw her case from the Security Council. Sayah went to Moscow with Ghavam recently and attended most of the premiers Moscow negotiations,
 To Risk RusSia's Wrath
 Ghavam apparently was deter mined to withdraw the case only when he became sure that the terms of Soviet-Iranian agreement would not mean a loss to Iran Otherwise, he apparently prefers to risk Russia's wrath while continuing Security Council discussion.
 An airplane survey from Kazvil, 90 miles northwest of Tehran, to the southern coastline of the Cas- plan Sea indicated that Soviet troop evacuation movements were continuing toward the Caspian Sea port of Pahlevi. Three transport ships were seen in the harbor.
 Reports reached Tehran of further Soviet evacuation of north- ern Tran garrisons. The Russians were turning over authority to local gendarmes, the reports said since the Iranian Army had now moved north to reoccupy the soviet-held areas,

 Because of its virtue, as well as its product and Its skill in selling, the UP. prospered in market after market. It showed the AP its for eign heels.

 Cashin said m his letter: "Your real reason at this time, for dis- charging me, can be broken into three parts:
 l. Because l would not force the workers of the Bridgeport Brass who are members of Local 320 on strike against their wishes.
 g. Because l,500 members of Lo- cal 320 voiced their dislike of you at the Klein Memorial.
 3. Because you know I am active in securing signatures for the peti- tion asking for your removal"
 Tn his letter, Cashin, veteran of 30 years in the labor movement and 10 years with the M.M.S.W., re- viewed his record as an information al representative, and cited several occasions on which President Rob- inson praised his accomplishments on behalf of the union and its members.

 An authoritative government source estimated that abstentions from the polls, urged by the FAM parties, averaged 40 percent throughout Greece. The absten- tlons exceeded 60 percent in some strongly Left-Wing districts, and approximately 20 percent in other conservative areas.
 20 Killed In Campaign
 Approximately 20 persons were killed during the election week. end, most of them before the polls opened Sunday morning. Nether- theless, the voting generally was orderly despite high pressure cam- paigning and propaganda efforts both from those parties partici- pating and those abstaining.
 An official communique said eight gendarmes were killed and eight others were missing, presumed dead, in Q clash with so-called Commit nists at Litochorn, near Salonika, Saturday night One man was killed in a clash at the polls in Angelochoke, Northern Greece, and three died Saturday afternoon in the peloponnesus.

 No Left-Wing Candidates
 Despite strenuous appeals by the FAM Left-Wing coalition to boycott the election, an estimated 60 to 70 percent of the eligible voters cast ballots. There were no Left-Wing candidates.
 The Extreme Right, represented by the militant monarchist organi- zation called "X' was soundly de- feated. It boiled only a few hun dred votes.
 Ninety district in Athens and 38 districts in Salonika gave the Popu- lists 33,593, the Liberals l5,022 and the National Political Union l4,4l4. Both Liberals and the National Political Union showed unexpected strength
 The exact extent and significance of the abstentions was obscure. It appeared that an average of 50 per- cent of the voters boycotted the polls In the FAM strongholds of northern Greece, needing the FAM charges that the election was unfair and loaded with illegal voting lists.
 Tn some conservative districts in the Athens and southern areas, there were only 20 percent absten- tions.
 Also pushed into eclipse was the Democratic National Union (EDES) led by Gen. Napoleon zervaS. The strongly Nationalist Royalist Group, which fought against FAM forces in the civil strife of December, 1914, polled only a handful of votes.

orators believed the strike would last for at least two weeks and probably longer. They have been negotiating since March 19 but vir- tually no progress has been made.
 The strike posed Q serious new threat to reconversion at Q time when industry was just swinging into full production after major strikes in the steel, automobile and electrical manufacturing industries. Government labor officials were not alarmed about the immediate fu- ture because present coal stocks will last four to six weeks.
 Intervention Not Foreseen
 Early White House intervention was not expected. After President Truman returned from a weekend cruise on the Potomac yesterday, a White House spokesman said he preferred to see the operators and the miners settle the dispute themselves.
 The Government was taking a more direct hand in the case, how ever. Schwellenbach assigned Paul Fuller of Akron, Ohio, to enter the negotiations today as a mediator. Fuller recently suppressed rubber strike threats until an industry wide wage agreement was negoti- ated.
 The last Government report on coal stocks showed a 2e-day supply of more than 46,000, 900 tons Febru- ary 1. It was believed the figure had increased since then while warmer weather had curtailed the needs of householders.
 While the steel industry has an overall supply for about one month. The need to conserve fuel was expected to cause some imme- diate effect on production with some mills facing shutdowns in about 10 days.
 Trains May Stop
 The Governments February l re- port listed a 28-day supply for the steel industry, 78 days for power plants, 27 for class l railroads, 46 for cement mills and 32 for other industries.
 The immediate stumbling block in the negotiations was the dead- lock over the UM.W.s demand for a health and welfare fund to be administered by the union.
 Operators were wondering wheth- CT Fuller would have any more suc- cess than they in getting Lewis to give a more definite description of his proposal. They doubted that the UNIV. head would be ready to do so for at least another week.
 Management spokesmen said Lewis had made clear only that he wanted controlled fund fi- nanced by royalty of 10 cents from all coal mined. They rejected gthe royalty principal and proposed 8 study of a plan to establish a fund financed by both the union and the industry to relieve hardship cases resulting from mine accidents |
