Break Expected
BY MAACP In L A
Lynching Terror

New York-What is described
by an NAACP official as "a most
dramatic break in the current
wave of lynch terror lowering
over southern Negro commune
ties is expected almost momen-
tarily, The lynching of John c.
Jones, Negro war veteran VIII use
mutilated body was found in q
Louisiana swamp, may provide
the opening wedge in the desper-
ate drive being conducted by the
Association to drive lynch mobs
out of existence.
Focal point in the drive is AL
bert Harris, shy, gangling l7-year-
year Negro youth who owes his
life to the bungling of Louisiana
law enforcement officers and
the Louisiana lynch mob which
apparently possessed rather
startling knowledge of develop
ments in the local sheriff's office.
The testimony of young Harris
and his father, who fled with him
from what would have been
certain death in Minden, Louis
lana, was of such a positive ma
ture as to virtually assure i'm
mediate federal action. The
youth, whose body bears a raw
pattern of unhealed scars from
the lynches' clubs, ropes and
leather straps, unhesitatingly
named several members of the
mob, all of whom he has known
for many years.
The most damaging part of the
dramatic story told by the youth,
which provides a basic for feder-
al intervention, clearly impli-
aates the Minden deputy sheriff.
According to testimony which
has been made available to the
Department of Justice by the
NAACP, Sheriff Haynes released
young Harris and his cousin,
veteran John Jones, from the
local jail, after having held them
for several days despite the fact
that the women whom the youth
had allegedly planned to rape re-
fused to charge them with any
crime. By a remarkably strange
coincidence, the mob knew ex-
actly when Sheriff Haynes plan
ned to release the youths so that
when they appeared in the door
leading from the jail the mob had
already assembled. Young Har-
ris then stated that the men who
grabbed Jones seemed to have
trouble forcing the struggling
veteran into one of the cars. It

HaIas Doing His Besl
Worrying as Bears
Practice for Giants
By the Assoeiofsd Press

CHICAGO, Dec. l2.-Coach George
Halas worried today about the New
York football Giants defense and
Quarterback Sid Luckmah sharp
ened up his passing arm as the Chi
cago Bears continued night and day
practice sessions preparing for Sum-
days National League title clash IN
New York.
Last night the squad looked at
movies of the October 27 Bears
Giants game and heard Scout Wal
ter Halas' report on the New York
ers' 31-to-0 victory over Washing
ton last week. Then, in unison, the
Halas brothers complained:
"A team that can hold both the
Bears and Redskins scoreless in one
season is coming close to achieving
the impossible -
AS Walter choked up at the very
thought of the tough New Workers
George continued the lament alone
Steve Owens teams are alway!
tough to score on, but this one i,
exceptional. Last Sunday the Giants
not only outcharged the powerful
Washington line, but rushed Sammy
Baugh so consistently he simply
didn't have time to locate his re-
ceivers and get his passes away"
BY the time Halas went from one
end of the Giant line to another, it
appeared that the Bears didn't have
a chance. The Bear mentor had
worked up to his peak fear" of the
season.

Clipper Smith Named
Boston Yanks' Coach
10 Succeed kopf
ax the A..oeiated Prsss


BOSTON, Dec. l2.-The Boston
Yanks Of the National Football
League today produced Maurice
Clipper Smith as their l947 head
coach. "a ss
Smith, who recently waived the
last four Of five-year contract at
the University OF San Francisco
agreed to succeed Herb Kopf here
ON short-teTm basis.
He told Yank officials he stepped
out of San Francisco about week
ago because he doubted he could
produce winning teams under exist
ing conditions. In his new contract
he reserved the right to quit if un-
able to gain immediate success in
professional ranks.
One of Notre Danes earliest
watch charm" guards under Knute
Rockne, Smith Started his college
coaching career at Santa Clara. He
gained his greatest successes at
Villanova from 1886 to 1912 and dur
ing those years was reputed to have
rejected three offers from Boston
College and one from Holy Cross.
During the war he was lieutenant
in the Marine Corps.
Kopf, star end at Washington
and Jefferson, served as Lou Little S
assistant at both Georgetown and
Columbia before accepting the head
coaching berth at Manhattan in
1888. He directed the Jaspers until
1912 when they abandoned football,
and came here two years later as
duration stand lin for Jim Crowley.
Boston officials said Kopf's con-
tract had another year to run, but
that the Yanks' would make "tne
necessary settlement"
