Hodges, according to the inves-
tigating officers. left the door,
but appeared at the bedroom
window a minute or two later,
threatening the couple with a
sawed-off shotgun. He threaten

unless the door was opened.
He directed the wife to open
the door, while keeping the hus-
band covered with his shotgun,
and when the door was opened
demanded that the woman step
outside. She followed his di-
rections, fearing that he would
kill her husband unless she COM
piled. When she stepped outside,
the Negro again demanded mon

the victim again declared that
there was no money in the home.
Following the attack the Ne

sressional Record will probably
not reveal this remark after it
has been deited, but spectators in
the gallery heard Senator Taft
make the statement and also
heard other senators call out
"sh-h-h-h'."
The NAACP telegram urged
senator's not to be a party to the
agreement and to insist FEPC

a score of telephone calls reached
Washington Friday and Satur-
day from NAACP branches q

for cloture and to keep FEPC

One aspect of the trickery in
the deal was the setting Of the

day, February 9. Opponent Of
the bill were counting on the
fact that the daughter of Senator
Chavez was scheduled to be
married at | p. m. February 9,
and hiatt therefore the leader in
the fight for FEPC would be In
no mood to be present and put
up a battle. They also depended
on senators being absent on Sat-

Court Refuses Review
Of Negro Voting Case
BY the Associoted Press

The Supreme Court today refused
to review lower Federal court rul-
ings that Negroes are entitled to
vote in Democratic primary elec-
tions in Georgia.
The rulings were given on litiga-
ton begun by Primus E. King. a
Negro of Muscogee County, Ga,
who was denied the right to vote in
a recent primary. A United States
District Court in Georgia said the
denial violated Kings rights under
the Federal Constitution. The Fed
elal Court of Appeals in New Or
leans upheld the District Court.
Members of the Muscogee County
Democratic Executive Committee,
who were in charge of the primary,
said King was denied a vote be-
cause of a party rule restricting the
election to white electors. In petit
tioning for a review they said:
THE petitioners are honestly and
sincerely of the opinion that under
Georgia law and under the Georgia
system wherein a party voluntarily
comes into being and is not created
by law, they have a right to con-
fine the right of suffrage in primar-
les to white citizens" a.
The Supreme Court gave no rea-
son for it's refusal to review.

For Air Transport
BY the Associated Press

The Army is making very gooG
progress" in revamping all its weap-
ons and vehicles for use by air trans.
portable divisions, Maj. Gen. Henry

Virtually all weapons used in the
recent war, including such big item.
as tanks, are being modified ane

told reporters.
Tanks will retain their tough steel
armor, Gen. Saylor explained, but
will be stripped of much of theil
weight by substitution of light met
ais, such as magnesium and alumi-
mum alloys, in working parts and
other gear not exposed to gunflre.
In the field of artillery the recoil-
less gun designs of World War II
are being adapted to new and fairly
large -calibered ordnance. During
the war recoilless guns (Which be-
cause Of their lack of "kick" require
no massive recoil mechanism were
used in 81 and rs 'caliber size anc

test experiments, from the shoulders
of men.
The program to featherweight al
types of weapons and make them
easily demountable, Gen. Saylel
said, has been given impetus by the
Army's recently announced goal OF
making all standard infantry divi.
sions air transportable.
