Council 10 Consider
Order 10 Improve
Alexandra Jail

improvements ordered by Alex
andria : Corporation Court for the
city's jail are to be considered by
1.-The Alexandria City Council Tues;
day night.
Announcement that the council
would take up the jail situation
came on the heels of a new criti-
cal report on jail conditions by r. M
Youel, State Commissioner OF Cor
rections. The Corporation Court
action last week ordering the City
Council to make certain improve
ments at the Jail was the outgrowth
|of report made by Mr.. Youell last
fall.
Mr.. Youell's new report terms the
prevalence of verrnin in the Jail
"deplorable." He wrote that "a
biowtorch will be needed to rid the
Jail of them"
The report also was critical of the
handl1ng OF women prisoners. MIR
Youell reported that no attempt was
made by guards to determine
whether women prisoners were fully
clothed before entering their cells
On recent inspection tour, Mr.
Youell wrote, he avoided embarrass-
ment on several occasions through
his own efforts to determine whether
women prisoners were clothed.
He further reported that he was
amazed" to find peepholes in the
doors of the colored women's dor
mitories.
Mr.. Youell also said in his report
that the jailer is not paid the full
amount of his annual salary OF
s., 600.
Corporation Court Judge William
P. Woolls ordered the mayor and
council to improve facilities for seq
regation of diseased prisoners and
relocate the jail kitchen.

Boord Votes to Urge
Agency to Delay
Action Till 1o48

The Arlington County Board viii
request the Federal Public Housing
Authority to reconsider It's refusal
to delay the disposal Of two county
housing projects until January,
At conference yesterday, the
board instructed acting County
Manager A.. r. Lundberg to write to
Oliver G. Winston, FPHA field di-
rector. asking that the decision be
reconsidered.
Mr.. Winston informed Mr.. Lund-
berg last week that the FPHA felt
1t was not "in the best interests" of
the Federal Government to delay
disposition of the George Washing
ton Carver and Paul Lawrence Dun
bar housing projects for colored
beyond May /.
Mr.. Winston's letter stated, how
ever, that completion of the DISPOSE
ton of the two projects might take
until January.
The County Board three weeks
ago voted against establishment of
a housing authority to take over
the two projects.
Explaining its stand, the board
said it might be possible to obtain
legislation at the January session
of the Virginia General Assembly,
which would allow establishment of
a housing authority with functions
limited to operating the two hous-
ing developments.
The delay then was requested of
FPHA.
The County Board, 1t was learned,
also decided to ask the Virginia
congressional delegation to support
its plan.
If the boards plan fails, the group
will lend support to a move now
under way in Arlington under which
a group of colored businessmen
would purchase the two projects.

THROUGH
HAZEL
EYES
By rIozel BrGnnon

"As we turn to elect sheriff and
other peace and law enforcement
officials the people should be able
to select men who would fulfill their
campaign promises. No officer who
takes an oath to enforce the law inn
partially and then uses the power of
his office to play favorites and prey
upon weaknesses of the people to
pad his pockets should be permitted
to hold public office. Among crimes,
graft is about the most heinous and
certainly is most destructive to our
form Of government"
The above appeared in recent
issue of The Dixie Guide. monthly
magazine published at Gulfport by
Clayton Rand. distinguished Mississ-
ippi newspaperman. lecturer and
author.

The six men in the race for She
riff Of Holmes County are Edwin T.
Nelson. Ed w. Ellison. Ellis E.
Wynn. George Povall. Clarence Ro-
bertson and Arnold Renacker.
The only question Holmes County
citizens should be interested in when
they make their decision on whom to
vote for for sheriff should be this:
Twill he fulfill his oath of office and
enforce all of the laws of our county
and slater"
There is no question about law
enforcement in Holmes County be-
ing completely broken down the
question now is whether or not we
want present conditions to continue
Cor get worse, as they willy or whe-
Their we want to elect man who
stands for right, one who cannot be
bought and one who will clean up
this county and keep 1t clean -. a
man who not only wants to do the
job but a man who is big enough to
do the job and has the ability, edu-
cation and background to be Gre
dit to Holmes County one of
the finest counties in the whole
state of Mississippi.
