Damage Suit
Continued From Page One

Of spying on a white woman.
Harris was flogged unmerciful-
ly and was left for dead; Jones'
mutilated body was found the
next day, however, Harris who
mad feigned death, fled from the
town and after a cross-country
chase, finally made his way to
thu NAACP office in New York.
NAACP Investigators went to
the scene of the lynching, inter
viewed officials of the Parish and
Negro witnesses Of the town and
learned the names of those per-
sons who lynchd Jones. These
names turned over to the
Department of Justice and the ar
rest of six white men, including
deputy sheriffs and a police, fol-
lowed.
Arrested in connection with the
lynching We're Benjamin CAN'T,
Minden police chief; Deputy Sher-
iff Oscar Henry Haynes, r, son
of Sheriff Haynes; Deputy Sher-
if Charles M. Edwards; Samuel
Clinton Maddry, ST.; William
Drayton slim" Perkins and Hen
ry Edwards Perry.
With the exception Of Can't, all
were indicted and brought to trial
in United States District Court
here on February "a, 1947. At
the close of a trial which lasted
almost a week, the five white
men wre> acquitted despite the
fact that the youth they had fog
ged and left for dead identified
them as mob members.
Feeling against Mrs. Jones,
widow of the lynched man, caused
her to leave her home in Cotton
Valley and move to Shreveport
thnce to California.

fatally shot Wesley Thomas about
three hours later, had left home
shortly before the shooting, arm
ed with a .3s caliber revolver TO
search for a lost hog" the sheriff
said.
The youth told the sheriff he
had tried to capture Thomas and
when "he tried to run into a house.
I let him have it,
A coroner's jury last Thursday
termed the shooting a 'justifiable
homicide saying Thompson had
acted in self defense" because
the Negro was running in a house
where there were two butcher
knives, a loaded shotgun and rifle
and a hatchet.
The NAACP learned from a re.
liable source, however, that
Thomas had been an employee of
q. w. Fuller, who owns a farm
near Calhoun. Thomas is said to
have asked his pay IN wages On
Saturday. The employer is said
to have refused, telling Thomas
otreport for work as usual on
Monday. Thomas did not report
for work on Monday but went &C
work for another farmer instead
Informants told the NAACP
that Fuller is alleged to have
started out to form a mob but
finding it difficult, resorted to a
mother course. Unconfirmed rum.
r were to the effect that a Ne.
gro man was offered $50 to kill
| Thomas.
In the other case, versie John
cor a 3~4-year-old rape suspect,
was shot and killed at Prentiss
Miss, after being taken to the
scene of the alleged crime. Sher-
iff G. o. Barry and two state pol.
icemen, Andy Hopkins and J.
Spencer Pickett, shot Johnson
to death when he is alleged to
have grabbed for Puckett's gun
A determined mob was reported
to have given Sheriff Barry eight
hours to get a confession out of
Johnson. The district attorney
said the filing of charges against
the officers would be merely for
mality and hearing would be made
to clear the white Men.
! The fatal shooting of Elijah Ny
les in New Orleans also resulted
in a no-true bill being returned
despite the testimony Of doctors
and witnesses that Ferdinand Mo-
hr. white city employee, had shot
Myles in the back.

FACTS ABOUT BEER
TARIFF AND TEMPERANCE
IN 1889

Tariff problems occupied the
minds of the First U. S. Congress,
meeting in New York City, just
as they do in Washington in mod
ern times.
On April IS, 1889, with the Con-
gress just a week old, tariff was
tied in with temperance as Con-
gressmen, including James Madi-
son of Virginia and Thomas Fitz-
simmons of Pennsylvania, urged
a high tariff to encourage the
domestic production of malt bev-
erage as an aid to moderation.
Fitzsimmons. according to Gales
and Seaton's History of Debates
in Congress, contended that IF
the morals of the people were to
be improved by what entered
their diet, it would be prudent in
the national legislature to encour-
age the manufacture of malt liq-
uors. The small protecting duties
laid in Pennsylvania had a great
effect towards the establishment
of breweries; they no longer i'm
ported this article, but. on the con-
trary, exported considerable
quantities. and in two or three
| years. with the fostering aid of
Government, would be able to
furnish enough for the whole con-
sumption of the United States. He
moved 9 cents per gallon
mt. Madison" continued the
account. moved to lay an impost
of 8 cents on all beer imported.
He did not think the sum would
give a monopoly, but hoped il
would be such an encourage
ment as to induce the manufac-
ture to take deep root in every
State in the Union"
Mr.. Madison, later to become
our fourth President, was only one

sought by legislation and other
means to encourage the develop

industry as an aid to moderation
and temperance among the people

requests for the right to send mill
tary and civilian missions to these
two countries. But we should not
do this, because it would be merely
a waste of money, If we are not
prepared to follow through and
champion the cause of peoples
everywhere who either want to re-
main free or to acquire freedom.
Moreover, I have an uncomfortable
feeling that we have played stupid
hand in Greece.
We permitted the British to call
the signals for Greece. King George
returned to the throne although
there was reason to believe that
the majority of the Greek people
did not want him. 1t Is all very
well to say that the Greek govern
ment includes 1850 Of the Greek
Parliament who were chosen at an
election last year." Was this a free
election in the sense that the people
of Greece were not under mental
compulsion, imposed by Great Brit
ain, to vote for a government that
meant the return of a king who
had no sympathy with the tradi-
tional liberties of the Greeks?
I would feel better about the
Greek situation If Paul A. Porter,
who was sent recently with ambas-
sadorial rank as the head of an
commission to study the
situation in Greece, had not previ-
ously done so much talking at
Washington cocktail parties before
he left about spending his last
cent to defeat Communism. It Is
to be wondered whether a mind
that had prejudged the Greek situa-
ton and had gone to Athens to
fight Communism, is the kind of
a mind that could impartially sift
the facts and send to his govern
ment a report that could be fully
credited.
Greeks Love Liberty.
Athens was the cradle of liberty
in the world. The Greek people love
liberty. If we believe in a Republic

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1947-03-19

as we say that we do, we ought to
be willing to allow the Greeks to de-
eide freely, whether, with the as
surance of the help Of the United
States, that is the form of govern
ment that they would prefer. For
my part, I am willing that we should
support Greece in It's dire need but
I am not willing that a single Amer
lean dollar should be sent into
Greece to uphold the King, either
politically or economically.
The occasion when this country
declared war, first against Japan
and then against Germany, was no
more solemn or more fateful for the
future than the decision that, on
such short notice, We are called
upon to make today. In effect, we
are asked to undertake world
wide crusade, although not with
arms, at least in the first instance,
against totalitarianism.
This is a time when America
needs to draw upon the innermost
reserves of her character. Whatever
our course is to be, and as I see
it we have no option except to go
to the support of Greece and Tur-
key, we should face the future with
the fortitude that comes after de-
cision thoughtfully and prayerfully
made. And may God help us in the
future as He has in the past.

World War II, from privateS to the
shiniest brass. have had their mo-
ments in the sun. They have been
huzzahed in the large cities and
In their home towns. But Gen.
Macarthur, the man who was once
thought to be the biggest limelight-
seeker of them all, has yet to hear
a single plaudit., He is still thou
sands of miles away, doing a job
without parallel in history.
I wonder how many Americans
noticed the abrupt change that took
place in Gen. Macarthur once VIC
tory was secured. Criticism and
ridicule were directed toward his
communicates during the dark days
of the war in the Pacific. Scholars
spoke of them as nothing but purple
patches, and the man in the street
said they were corny. And they
were, but they served their purpose.
Those were the days when this
country was giving his meager army
little or nothing to fight with, and
so he fought back with dramatics,
the personal pronoun, purple
patches, corn and anything else he
could summon.
Famous Phrase Recalled.
Those who fought under him, and
reached the Philippines with him,
know why he used the much-ridi-
culed phrase, IT shall return" 1t
was the rallying cry of the Filipino
and kept them armed and
fighting when the cause appeared
hopeless. Sailors sang ribald songs
about him, but he must have man
aged to get along with Admiral
Nimitz, because time and tide and
distance didn't keep the soldiers
and the sailors from hitting the
beachhead on the split second.
Soldiers had their jokes about
him, too. We laughed about Dug
out Doug" and how he flew plane
thousands of miles to get neon lights
for his shoulders, but deep in our
hearts we knew then, as we know
now, that we couldn't tie his shoe
laces as soldier, and that we were
under the leadership of a tremen-
dous soldier. I, myself, will never
forget the sight of him wading
ashore at Morotai when the buf-
faloes were still bringing In the
early waves OF assault troops, lem
on-colored gloves in hand, and corn
cob pipe at a cocky angle; or at
Leyte, walking about the beach
head apparently as unconcerned
about personal danger as If he were
in the dugout his GIs had talked
about him staying in so much.
Chose Biggest House.
Nor shall forget his headquar-
ters at Tacloban, Leyte. He chose
the biggest house, as he would, IN
the town. But it so happened that
the biggest house was also the big
gest danger spot, as it was situated
halfway between the two top jap
anese bombing targets-the harbor
and the air strip. Those who were
with him there will tell you that
he never even took the trouble to
cover himself with mosquito net
at night.
Since Gen. Macarthur stood on
the deck of the Missouri, and &C
cepted the surrender of the Japa-
nese, Just try to name one f1owery
speech he has uttered or one bid
he has made for personal popularity.
So. let's bring him home. Here's
one former CT who'll borrow bus
fare to help line the streets OF what
ever town is chosen for the parade.

There seems nothing to lose by this
course. And there might be some
thing gained. Negotiations can al
ways be renewed when the outlook
for agreement is better. The other
course has been pursued without
success. There is q limit.

Perhaps the President and the State
Department were not themselves
aware of the critical situation that
the British found themselves in with
respect to Greece. But If they did
not know, they should have known.
And when they found out, they
should have told the people promptly
and as frankly as the President did
tell them in the end.
If we invest this much money in
Greece and Turkey we will have to
support our investment. If we are
entering the lists as the challenger
of totalitarianism, we may find it
necessary to interject ourselves into
other parts of the world. Probably
we have let the situation in the
Balkans get so completely out of
hand that we cannot hope there to
assist those who are opposed to
But how about the

@. What are the latest figures on
male and female population of the
United States?-J. S.
A. The Bureau Of the Census
estimates that as of July l, 1945,
there were 69,694,98 males and
SO ,926, 450 females in the United
States. In this estimate females
outnumbered the males by some
zoe, 900 but the preponderance of
females over males was confined to
the nonwhite races. In the white
race males outnumber females.
@. What are secondary schools?-
j.. H.
A. In the United States secondary
schools are high schools, i.e., those
schools whose instruction is be-
tween that of the elementary or
primary schools and the colleges.
@. Are camel hides used for max
ing leather goods anywhere in the
world?-D. P.
A. The Department of Commerce
says that camel hides are not used
for leather in great quantities any
where in the world. The reason is
that these hides do not produce good
leather. Camel hides are used in
making leather in Egypt and some
other North African countries but
never in large quantities as the
supply Is limited.
@. To what extent was American
industry controlled by cartels before
the war?-M. E. r.
A. "Cartels in Action" by the
Twentieth Century Fund states that
before the war cartels in the United
States controlled to some extent
about 81 per cent Of mineral prod
ucts, including oil, 80 per cent of
agricultural products, and AZ per
cent of manufactured products in
international trade.
@. Was Jenny Lind married in
this country?-K. M.
A. The singers marriage to Otto
Goldschmidt took place in 1852 at
Number 20, Louisburg Square, Bos-
ton.
@. Do all birds have eyes on the
sides of theft head?-L. B.
A. All except the owl. This is the
only bird whose eyes look straight
ahead.
@. Is a submarine classed as
boat or a ship?-A. G.
A. The Navy Department says
that since it is generally accepted
that a boat is vessel which can
be hoisted aboard and carried on q
ship, the submarine is classified as
a ship because it is too large to be
hoisted aboard other vessels. Sub
marines are given the nickname
pig boats" even though they are
classed as ships.
@. Is the name Pittsburgh cor
rectly spelled with or without the
final "h"?-B. T.
A. In the seal the city is called
City of Pittsburgh. The United
States Geographic Board in 1911 re-
considered an earlier decision and
agreed to the use of the final III.
The correct spelling Of the name
therefore, is Pittsburgh.
