Dolan Sentence
Suspended By
Governor Wright

William A. Dolan was granted
a six months suspension of sen-
tence by Governor Fielding A.
Wright following a lie detector
test concerning the prisoners al
legged nocturnal attack on a young
Pascagoula couple six years ago,
according to an announcement
made by the governor.
In regard to the recent lie de-
tector test which was undergone
by Dolan at Parchman Prison
and witnessed by Governor
Wright, the governor declared
he is not fully convinced that
Dolan is innocent but rather than
run the risk of seeing an inno-
cent man serve time | am giving
Dolan the benefit of the doubt
and offering him a six months
suspension of sentence"
Dolan was sentenced to ten
years for the brutal beating of
Mrs, Terrell Heidelberg with an
iron pipe as she and her husband
were asleep in their home on
Communy street in 1912.
Governor Wright said that the
test served to increase doubts
in my mind that Dolan is guilty"
and added that the findings cor
roborate evidence submitted by
various citizens of Jackson Coun-
ty who believe in Dolan's inno-
cence.n
May Expect Pardon
The governor said that if Do
lan's conduct is good. he will fur
ther extend the suspension of
sentence at the end of six months.
and that if his conduct continues
good. Dolan may expect a full
pardon within three years.
The lie deteetor test was given
Dolan by a private detective and
was sponsored by the Jackson.
Miss, Daily News. The delicate
machine records on a graph pulse
beat and respitory reaction to
questions asked the person UNI
dergOing the test.

Dangerous Malady
:, By GEORGE S. BENSON
President OF Harding College q

WHAT THE Russians stand for
has lately come under heavy at
tack from almost every group or
individual in America. We are al
most unanimous. Current Con-
gressional investigations at last
eeem to be hitting pay dirt. Rus
Eia herself, by strangling little
Czechoslovakia nd conducting
the "cold war;" has been losing
BONE of her friends. Influential
Communists are deserving, once
they see what Russia's "ideolo-
giles" really are like.
No matter by what name you
FALL it, state control has grown in
almost every country you can
name. This has happened in our
generation. After World War I,
politicians in many nations
sensed their opportunities for
power. Usually, this power was
obtained through economic tyran-
ny. Heavy taxes, false money,
md tinkering with production
and distribution kept the tyranny
in power. Finally, it was Ger
many, Italy, and Japan that
brought on another terrible war.
Recognize x THEY WERE the
The Infection "statist" nations.
In each of these
nations aggression against other
countries followed aggression
against the individual at home.
Little nations, weakened by sta
tism Of their own, were easy VIC
Inns. When their people did not
care to resist and nothing seemed
worthwhile, totalitarianism could
find easy pickings. Now, statist
Russia continues this sorry bust
hess.
The infection of statism is at
its worst in Russia, but we have
not escaped it in America. We
cannot always call it Communism,

ways wear the name. Yet it's eff

It is untrue that the cure for
high prices lies in controls and
rollbacks. Nothing would do more
to discourage production and to
give the country a taste of what
the public state is like. Infla-
ton must be attacked by dealing
with causes, not symptoms. Eco
nomical government combined
with tax policy that offers in
centives should be the first step.
