tions.
President Truman" said Dr.
Foreman, has expressed his horror
at the latest mass lynching but the
Federal Government has no power
to act
When the rights of an American
citizen are violated in a foreign
land, the Government of the United
States is ready to stand behind him
with battleships, II necessary.
And yet American citizens are de-
prived Of their God-given right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness' right here in our own
country"
CHICAGO, Aug. S (P).-A mass
meeting of Chicago Negroes yester-
day adopted resolution urging that
Congress be called into special sess-

ing law. The meeting also urged
President Truman so recommend

ties as Monroe, Ga" for the benefit

Conference Seeks Identity
OF Girl Circus Fire Victim
BY The k,socioted Press

HARTFORD. Conn, Aug S.
Police Chief Michael J. Godfrey says
he believes the mystery OF the un-
claimed little girl victim of the cir
Gus fire can be explained by a
mixup in the identification of the
known dead, but he planned a con-
ference today to consider the as
sertion of a woman in Wyandotte,
Mich, that the child is her grand
daughter.
One of the 1853 persons who died
when the Barnum and Bailey d.
Ringing Brothers big top burned
July 6, 1914, was a girl OF about six
Her body was unmarked, but she
never has been identified and has
become known as Little Miss 1865
the number of her grave in a
Wilson Cemetery.
Saturday the Detroit Times, in a
copyrighted story, quoted Mrs. Ger
trude Landers of Wyandotte as hav-
ing identified a picture of Little
Miss 1865" as her granddaughter.
Chief Godfrey said last night he
thought Mrs. Landers must be mis-
taken, and that If she were correct
the official number of dead would
have to be raised from 1853 to 1859.
There are seven unidentified dead
but police have list of seven miss
ing persons, including two little girls,
to balance this.

The Bikini mice set up housekeep-
ing today at the National Cancer
Institute to produce offspring and
memoirs. The latter will make best
seller reading for scientists two
years hence.
These memoirs of the mice, ghost
written by their KEEPERS, are going
to tell about the effects of the atom
bomb on their love life, among other
things.
The 100 mice travelled more than
$4,000 miles from Washington to be
exposed last month to the rays OF
the atomic explosion.
DR.. Egon Lorenz, senior biophysi-
cist in charge of the experiment,
says the things scientists hope to
learn include answers to such ques-
tions as these:
Does exposure to an atom bomb
burst make person sterile? If so,
how long is 1t before this inability
to reproduce manifests itself, and
how long does sterility last?
IL otCIlllty S ilOt permanent, 90
the parents transmit i'll effects of
the explosion to their offspring?
Does it change the characteristics
of the offspring?
Does the bomb burst produce can
Ger in some individuals, retard it in
others?
Scientists know that high energy
radiations increase the mutation
rate In certain species. For instance,
cosmic rays sometimes change the
color OF the eyes of the fruit fly from
blue to pink.
VIII the atomic rays produce a
mouse with entirely different char
acteristics-such as three ears. extra
large eyes or web feet; or more or
less ability to- ward off common
diseases?
Mice have approximately the
same stages Of development as hu-
man beings. only they live much
faster" DR.. Lorenz says the Bikini

.CounfyAcfs Replace
Officials 0usted in
Athens Election Riot
By the Associated Press

ATHENS, Tenn. Aug. 5.--McMinn
County moved today toward re-
establishment of constitutional
government to replace a Citizens
Committee which assumed author
ity after bloody election night
battle forced the abdication Of its
top officials last Friday.
There was possibility that the
Quarterly Court, which has the au-
thority to fill any vacated county
office, would meet to consider a Sue
cessor to Sheriff Pat Mansfield and
perhaps other county officials.
The committee announced yes
terday that the resignation of
Sheriff Mansfield, last seen here
early Friday after the end of the
six-hour gun battle for the county
Jail, had been telegraphed to Gov.
Jim McCord, who passed 1t on to
the court.
Election to Be Certified.
Also slated for today was the
formal certification of the election
of a bipartisan all-veterans slate of
candidates for county Offices, whose
vigorously waged political campaign
against the incumbent Paul Can't
rell Democratic administration was
climaxed by the election day battle.
Maj. C. A. Anderson. a member of
the three-man committee, said the
election will be certified Monday by
the election commission as provided
by law, and the GI-ticket candidates
approved"
The veterans slate was running
ahead by a 2-to-1 majority on the
basis of unofficial returns from
seven of the county's twelve pre-
cincts when the removal of two of
Athens ballot boxes by deputized
county officers to the Jail partici-
pated the battle for the prison build
ing.
designations Uncertain.
Otto Kennedy, Republican men,
ber of the commission and staunch
supporter of the veterans slate, said
he and George Woods, a high lieu
tenant of the Cantrell organization.
would canvass the returns. The third
member of the commission is the
deposed Sheriff Mansfield.
There was no definite indication
whether other county officials sup
ported by Mr.. Cantrell for re-
election would follow in resigning
Armed guards, appointed by the
citizens committee and operating
under it's interim authority, pa
trolled the county last night but in
reduced numbers and a spokesman
said conditions are returning to

Tension was high here Saturday
night when there was a report the
ousted officials were advancing in
neighboring Polk County for an in

kept close watch over the countys
highways. The report proved false
