of the Rivers

Mrs. Roy Morrison likes pic
lures but she has too many OF
them, she says. Her desk at the
county superintendent office is
crammed with the photos which
she collected for the American
Legion when they were antici-
pating the publishing of a sery-
ice book for Big Horn county
veterans.
When the Legion decided not
to publish the book at this
time, Mrs. Morrison was left
holding the pictures. She saws
she has some photos of some
good looking vets and she does
MT want to destroy them, so she
is asking the owners to please
call for them at the office and
help a lady in distress.
With the perfect weather for
beet harvest, there is the annual
lull in the towns of the county
while the farmers are digging
their sugar beetS. Factory offic-
ials say the beets are coming in
rapidly this season-due, no
doubt, to the extensive use of
the mechanical harvesters. In
cidentally, the daily Slicing re-
cord at the mill has been broken
already this season.
The oiling job on. the Hardin
streets has been completed, and
we think it is a very nice job.
1t is a great stride in modern
izing the city. The next major
project scheduled is improve
ments and additions to the city
water and sewage system. We
congratulate the citizens for their
far-sightedness in helping Har-
din grow.
Good luck, duck hunters, but

last war, although Devens did have
mixed USO units and generally
was one of the most democratic
training camps in the United
States and has been for years.
Nevertheless, the question Of
creating entirely integrated serv-

Even at Devens at this writing,

have made inquiries toward serv-
ing on a mixed staff but without
any noticeable satisfaction.

Grand Jury Deplores
Freedom Given White
Chain Gang Prisoners

COLUMBIA, S. G.. Sept. 20. "a
NP)-An appalling" changing
system in which all whites were
made TRUSTEES was exposed last
week by the Richand county
grand jury, R. Roy Pearce, fore
man, in a preliminary report.
The grand jury promised a COM
plete report before the end of the
year. The investigation arose out
of the escap of p~risonre C. O.
"Buck" Grmany who escaped re-
Gently.
The prisoner, when caught,
said he would like to tell about
what was happening to other white
convicts in the Richand county
changing.
After the preliminary investi-
cation, the grand jury said:
"This grand jury is appalled, by
the method used in handling white
prisoners on the chain gang"
This statement was made in a
formal presentment to Judge Mar
tin in sessions court.
Among the things listed wrong
it'll the county chain gang system
were:
"Often times dangerous white
prisoners are taken from the Jail
and made TRUSTEES at once"
2. White TRUSTEES are not un-
der guard. They usually come and
go as they please to visit their
families in many parts of the
state. In one Ease a prisoner had
his own automobile to come and
go as he pleased.
8. Supervisor John L. Cotton
even in some cases had prisoners
on the chain gang whom the ser
iff or solicitor of the county had
recommended for the penitenti-
ary..
These were a few of the faults

Since Devens is one of the fore
most training cities in the north
the "policy" here will be keenly
studied by leaders all over the
nation. 1t is generally expected
that both Devens and the Cape
camp (Edwards) will reflect the
first trends Of any proposed new
democratic change in the armed
forces. 1t was at Edwards that
the mixed New Jersey 372nd ar
hilary unit made it's training de-

TROOPS TO MIX IN

At Fl. Devens here in New Eng
land, the director of civilian per-
sonnet is quoted as stating flatly
that here will not be any segre-

supervisor has absolute control
over the chain gang and how it
is operated.
The grand jury recommended
that the sheriff and solicitor have
more to say on what is to be done
with convicts. 1t also recommended
that the county board of commits
sioners have 0 power over the
hiring of county employees.
This report evidently was re-
stricted to the treatment of white
prisoners on the chain gang.
Nothing was said about colored
prisoners.

Formal Appeal Filed
Against Montgomery

A formal appeal from the Mont
gomery County Circuit Court ruling
ordering a referendum in November
on the proposed county charter was
filed today in Circuit Court at Rock

A. Schneider, Bethesda and WASH
ington attorney, who had filed suit
several months ago seeking to block
the referendum.

ordered removed from the proposed
home rule" plan provisions dealing
with adoption of budget in execu-
tive session each June.
In addition the County Commits
sioners were directed to publish the
revised charter for two successive
weeks between October 10 and
October 30.
Compliance Assured.
Assurances that the Commission
ers would comply with the ruling
were given today by F. Barnard
Welsh, attorney to the board.
While declaring an appeal could
be taken from the court order, Mr..
Welsh said the Commissioners felt
they should not be technical to
save few hundred dollars"
AT the same time, David E. Belts,
attorney for Mr.. Schneider, said the
appellate court will be asked to
give priority to the charter case
when 1t convenes October 5. He
said the court will be urged to hand
down its decree before the date set
for publication OF the revised
charter.
Special Court Session Unlikely.
He added that the court has been
asked informally whether it could
hold q special session to consider
the appeal but had indicated it
could not do so.

torney, will be associated with him
in presenting the appeal. Mr.. Wood
had campaigned for election OF a
