Louisiana Attorney General
Fred Leblanc said he had not been
asked for legal opinion as to
whether the Negro youth could be
executed" a second time. Gov. J.
H. Davis had rescheduled the
execution for next Thursday.
Willie spent a quiet Sunday in
his death row cell. In a pensive
mood, he read from the prayer
book, occasionally pausing to sing
Negro spirituals. He was convicted
it was "the Lords hand" that had
saved him last Friday. The jail
warden said it was faulty cleo

Leblanc admitted he had been
studying the legal aspects of the
case and said there would be some
controversy if an objection were
raised. There is the question
whether Willie's execution could
be carried out on date not set
in the court sentence. On the other
hand, state law stipulates that a
convicted murderer must pay with
his life.
Leblanc said neither the COVER
nor nor the sheriff had asked for
an opinion. The Negroes attorneys
could make an appeal, he said, but
there has beel no indication they
will do so.

Problems Of Veterans
Housing and Jobs
Discussed al Forum

Many veterans, anxious to get
work in hurry, have taken jobs at
wages where they cant possibly
keep their families decently," Rob-
ert c. Goodwin. director OF the
United States Employment Service,
declared yesterday.
Mr.. Goodwin, National Housing
Administrator Wyatt and Refrain
ing and Unemployment Admins
traitor Erskine discussed the vet
erans' twin problems of housing ana
jobs at panel discussion presented
by the Womens National Press
Club.
Linking the two problems, Gen.
Erskine pointed out that lack of
housing in some communities had
prevented veterans from going to
those communities, even though
jobs were available there.
Looking at the employment pic
ture from a different angle, Mr..
Wyatt warned that a shortage of
skilled labor in the building trades
might become the No bottle
neck" after materials unless COM
munities take steps to increase the
training of apprentices.
Mr.. Goodwin reported that while
the overall picture of veterans en-
ployment looks good" dif1icult and
complex veterans job problems still
remain to be solved. He cited the
problems of veterans who returned
to old jobs or took the first one that
came along and are now looking
for better-paying work, veterans
who had no work experience before
going into the service, veterans who
learned trade In the armed forces
for which no civilian counterpart
exists, veterans whose prewar occu-
pations no longer exist because Of
chronological changes, and physi-
cally disabled veterans.
On housing. Mr.. Wyatt said he
thought the record of 1900 homes
and apartments under construction
and 287 900 completed since the first
OF the year was pretty good" He
predicted that the latest Govern
ment cuts in nonhousing building
would make it possible to start
thousands of new homes this fall
and to complete thousands of new
homes before winter.

Reply to Tito
(NeW York Times

The American Government has served notice that it expects Yugoslava to pay suitable indemnifcaton to the families and dependents of the American fiers shot down by Yugosav guns well compensation for the destruction of and damage to American planes and other property This demand is made in claim and purely factua note and of State Clayton let it be known that if Tito complies our Government will be willing to consider the incident closed
 What Tito will do remains to be seen He has repeated his previous attempts to justify the attacks on unarmed American planes by charging the Am orleans with flying almost daily and in droves over Yugosav territory in deliberate and brutal" violation of Yugoslav sovereignty supposedly, he told the press, for the purpose of spying upon Yugoslav m- tary dispositions He specifically repudiates any re- sponsbility for the tragic incidents which he says have been caused by his armys effort guard the inviolability' of Yugoslav territory.
 But the American Government clearly demon straes, after thorough and comprehensive nvestiga tion, either that there is something seriously wrong with the reports of Yugoslav observers that there is another factor in the situation as yet unreveaed For while Tito charges 278 unauthorized American flights Yugoslavia since July 16 the records of the American Army Air Force show that there were only forty planes anywhere near Yugoslav ter rtory during that period and while it conceivable that bad weather might have forced some of these planes off their course that cannot be and is not true of all of them. The rest of the planes seen by Titos men, says the American note must have been other than American planes. While the note does not elaborate on that point, it will be remembered that thousands of American planes have been supplied to European countries under LendLease and that those surviving the have never been returned
 In any case, whatever Tito may say for domestic consumption, he has already acknowledged the cul- pability of his forces by prohibiting repetition of the attacks and he has acknowledged his responsibility by his formal apology Preparations will not bring back the lives Of those whose sorry remains are now on
 their way home, but they still essential to absove the dead, to uphold the dignity of the United States and to discourage future incidents that might have graver conseQuenceS.

ANTI-LYNCHHING COMMISSION

President Truman is considering the appointment of new White House commission to make com plete review of lynchings. This was discussed at a recent conference be- tween the President, Walter White Advancement of Colored People, and James B. Carey of the CIO United Electrical Workers.
 The two men told Truman about several atrocities against Negroes, one of them the case of Isaac Woodward of New York City, a young war veteran whose eyes were gouged out by policeman near Aiken, s. c.
 Woodward was turned over to the police after an argument with a bus driver, who upbraided him for spending too much time in a bus depot Washroom The vet, who serV- ed three years in the Army, includ- ing Is months in the South Pacific, had been discharged in Atlanta, Ga, three hours before the incident and was on his way home to New York.
 Carey and White reported that Woodward has been held in a South Carolina veterans hospital ever since the incident and no one has been allowed to talk to him.

JUSTICE SPEEDS UP

Already salutory results have become apparent from the change in Federal Court rules to permit a person charged with feonious crime voluntarily to waive his Constitutional rights requiring indictment bv 2 grand jury before charge may be prosecuted against him.
 Especially in Alaska, where judicial facilities are limited are advantages of the new procedure haugur- ated earlier this year manifest.
 An example is the whiting down of the docket of pendng criminal prosecutions which has occurred in the District Court during the past two months Of 14 cases bound over by magistrates within the jurisdiction of the Juneau to await grand jury action on charges of felones, onehaf already have been disposed of-with the next meeting of a grand jury here still four months distant. Of the seven cases disposed of five handled thorugh the new indictment procedure. The two others were dismissed after the defendants had admitted crimes of lesser degree-a procedure familiar under old rules as well
 In all the five cases here where indictment was waived the defendants pleaded guilty and were later sentenced-so that the gain may at first be appar ent However those defendants need not have pleaded guilty and whether admission of guilt or determined defense is to follow waivng of indictment and whether the defendant later to be convicted or is to go free on acquitta there be a gain of invaluable days of weary waiting for grand jury to meet and deliberate formerly necessarily endured by the prisoner charged For those added days of confinement there is no recompense for the later acquitted nor were they necessarily taken into when sentence imposed upon the guilty.
