A man Is lynched In Greenville,
South Carolina. Beaten with fists
and feet.... his head pounded to a
pulp with the butt end Of shot
gun.... chunks OF flesh ripped out
with a. knife.... by at least 2S
men.
Then one brute pumps bullets
into Willie Earle.
In court, rs of the defendants
confess to being part of the lynch
mob. Seven of them actually name
the fellow.lyncher who fired the
shutgun. One testifies:
"someone shouted, ~ you're
going to kill him with the gun,
kill him. And don't get blood
all over it,
But despite full. signed confess
sions and five days of testimony.
a jury of twelve good men and
true" acquitted all 2S. The next
day-in North Carolina--lynching
mobs went on the rampage. Why
shouldn't they? A South Carolina
jury had given the green light
to lynching.
Southern senators at enormous
cost to American taxpayers have
filibustered to death federal anti
lynching bills. saying "the states
can handle the problem" South
Carolina has given the answer
only federal law against lynching
can stop murder. The United
States is host to the United Ma
tions which is attempting to build
peaceful world. But every lunch
ing holds up our nation to scorn
and ridicule and makes our pro-
testations of democracy hollow.
When our distinguished Secretary
OF State, General Marshall. gave
his eloquent definition of demo-
cracy at the recent Moscow con-
ference, the Russians Immediately
challenged What about lynching
In the United States?'
America Is not nation OF lynch
ers. But We are equally guilty
unless we really protect the life
and liberties of every American.

ing bill now pending In Congress

NEARLY 1000 DIE m WORST EXPOSION IN
 U. S. HISTORY

AUSTIN, Texas, - What has been termed as the worst explo- sion in the history of our country mas claimed nearly 1000 lives, with thousands others injured, result ot an initial explosion aboard French ship, the Grand Camp. at the dock in Texas City, Texas.
 Following explosion of the Grand Camp, a chain of explosions followed, two other ships loading uitrates, and fire spread into OH tanks and refineries of Texas City turning a two-mile strip of water front into a flaming torch which firemen and equipment could nos hope to control. Texas City was likened to a bomb-shattered war torn city today.
 t Death toll reported is as fol- lows:
 Enblamed dead, S64.
 Positive dead, 400.
 Estimated dead in addition to above, 200 to 25O.
 Injured hospitalized, $50 to 4OO. many in serious condition.
 Governor Beauford Jester issued Ia proclamation declaring a state or emergency in the explosion-shat- tered Texas city, even as reassured residents who fled the city began returning to their homes.
 The Governor would not esti mate the damage done to Texas City by the five terrific explosions
 j. H. Hill, Deputy Mayor of TeA- as City said four major fuel stOr- age tanks had been extinguishe0, but even as he made the report to hal Boyle, Associated Press writer, there was a fresh shower of smoke and flames soaring skyWard. Re- port circulated that a new tank had collapsed and caught fire.
 The explosion yesterday of the freighter High Flyer was described by some as even greater than We'd nesday's death dealing blasts. The ship was reported to have been loaded with ammonium nitrate fef- tiiizer. Reports were that it was felt as far as Baton Rouge, La. 235 miles away.
 This morning the city was vir- tually deserted except for reller md rescue workers. Windows were shattered, roofs tilted crazily, buildings cracked and a 5000-foot wall of smoke floated over the bay
 only 1000 of the city's 15,000 re- .Ad.Aed, Red Cross workers sald. stunned and dazed, they lined up before the school gymnasium to id- entity their dead.
