Seeks Prosecution
OF White Man
For Rape

Jackson, Miss. = Sept Is (DSN
- Prominent Negro leaders joined
by white ministers moved here last
week to bring about the prosecu-
ton Of cOpiah county white man
charged with the rape of twelve
year old Negro girl, a member of
we'll known north Jackson fam
lily.
The whiteman allegedly lured
the Negro child into his car on the
pretext that he wanted to take
her 20 his home to play with his
children for the day. She was pick
ed I'd in north Jackson near her
home and carried her to Copiah
County a distance Of about forty
miles south of Jackson where the
child was raped.
The white man was Unidentified
and arrested a few days after the
incident by Kinds County Law en-
forcement officers and released
on bond after bond being turned
over to Copiah County authorities.
No indictm has been made in
the case.
According to reports the par
ents and relatives of the child have
been approached by persons pre-
sumed to be representing the rap
list offering to pay them certain
sums of money to drop the case
All of these offers have been re-
jected while the parents with the
coming of each offer took further
steps to bring the rapist to prose-
cution.
The offers made to the childs
parents leads to the blief that in
dictment and prosecution of the
man is being purposely delayed.
Since the child was raped in Cop
iah County the indictment and
trial will have to be in that coun-
ty.
In the move here this week At
torney Dixon Pyles was engaged to
assist in having the case consider
ed blythe Copiah County Grand
Jury and to have the rapist in
dicted and prosecuted.

tor of the Agriculture Extensive
Service. Also present were DR..

to the Secretary of Agriculture.
The meeting was called after
seven Immigrant colleges had sub
mitted research projects to the
Agriculture Department in an eff
fort to participate in the research
program authorized by the Resear-
oh and Marketing Act The pro-
jects were disapproved as not COM
ing within the scope of the act or
as Duplicating projects already con-
Quoted.
Mr.. Branner said after the meet
ing that the group had explored
the opportunities open to them in
research and had heard Depart
ment experts outline the procedure
they would follow in drawing up
projects in order that they would
re "contractually eligible.
He said the college represen-
tatives had left the Department
with thorough understanding
of the applicability of the act and
that he felt certain that some OF
the projects submitted by them in
the future would be approved.
Under provisions of the act, the
Secretary of Agrilture is authoriz-
ed to contract with private of pub
lie organizations or individuals to
perform research on given pro-
iect Il in his discretion the work
can thus be done efficiently and
at less cost than by the Govern
ment.
