Sunday Night
killing Here Result
OF Argument
Between Two
Friends

The shot gun shooting in North
Jackson Sunday night was the re-
suit of an argument between two
longtime friends. This was the
crux of information from investi-
cation by the Jackson Advocate
According to reliable informa-
ton, Fred Gaddis who was killed
instantly by the shot gun blast
was longtime pal and running
mate Of John Perkins, the man
who did the shooting.
Fred Gaddis was the owner OF
a car and in running together al
though Perkins enjoyed to the full
benefits of the convenince of the
car he had become less and less
willing to bear his part of the
expense. AS a result of this ar
guments developed sometime ago.
Sunday night the argument be-
came violent when Gaddis told
Perkins there running together
had ended. During the argument
guns were drawn but friends Sc
parated the two men taking Cad
dis's gun.
Later the two men met This
time Gaddis having obtained an
other gun was approaching Per-
kins with gun in hand. AS he
approached Perkins, the first to
gain shooting position ordered
Gaddis to drop his gun. When he
failed to drop his gun Perkins
fired the blast from his shot gun
nearly tearing out Gaddis' side
killing him instantly.
Before Police could be summon
ed Perkins made good his escape
and as still lat large early this
week.

Sen. RusseI Would
Have Negroes
Move From South

Washington, July 80 - Some
body let the cat on of the bag,
Senator Richard B. Russell in
ferred that he is expected to in
troduce to congress a bill pro-
viding Federal aid for Negroes
desiring to move from the South
to other parts of the country.
Under reported provisions of
the bill - which the Senator is
alleged to have been preparing
for several years as a means of
alternating race problems Of the
South - any Negro family could
stuff their jeans with $1,000 in
Federal funds in changing his
home to another geographic To-
cation for economic and social
betterment. The grant would be
issued to finance the move.
Other provisions cited is that
the measure would make It a
voluntary matter for those Neg
roes interested and no Negro
would be compelled to migrate.
PREMATURE go.
The Georgia Senator screamed,
its all premature after the story
broke. He chained he asked that
the matter be held in strict con-
fidence when he mentioned it
briefly at a conference Of 10
Southern senators on Monday.
The Senator explained after
confirming the proposal:
eve would not move anybody
unless we could improve their
living standards and of course,
the whole thing would be on
a voluntary basis.
He added he had not determined
whether to introduce such legisla-
ton but provisions of the incom-
pleted bill would assist white
people in coming South ans like
wise assist Negroes in moving
out of the South.

Pennsy Railroad
Appoints First
Negro Porters
Supervisor

Philadelphia, Pa. The ap-
pointment of the first colored SUI
pervisor of station porters for the
Pennsylvania Railroad system has
been revealed in the naming of
Peter j. Washington, of Philadel-
phia to the post. The selection
of Mr.. Washington for the job was
made by H. l.. Nancarrow, Gen
eral Manager of the lines Eastern
Division, who believed that this
step was warrented.
In his new capacity, the "a
year old executive will have di-
rect supervision of some 70 sta
ton porters who work out of the
Broad Street, 30th Street, and
North Philadelphia stations of the
system. He replaces assistant
station master Harry Welte, who
previously carried on the re-
sponsibilities of the task, until
it was discovered that the job
required closer attention. In view
of the service record of Washing
ton, he was shortly named to the
job, and assumed his duties, eff
fective July l.
The new porter head entered
the employ of the Pennsylvania
railroad on March 8, 1887 as
station porter, during which time
he saw service in all three sta
tions of the company at Philadel-
phia. Because of his lack of SEN
iority, tire were several occas-
ions when forced reductions in
personnel involved his furlough.
However, because Of his desire to
stay with the company, he took
any job that would become avail
able to him, and at various times
he was a laborer at the 46th st.
Engine House; a trucker at the
Philadelphia Transfer; and an
extra cleaner at Both Street Sta
ton.
1t is believed that this diligence
is largely responsible for the de-
cision nominate him for the SUI
peryisory job. According to offic-
ials for the company, his perform
ance has been more than salts
factory, and there is no regrets
that Negro has been given the
job. His first major assignment
was for the recent Democratic
National Convention just conclud-
ed here, and during that period
not one place of baggage was
tlost, according to company spokes
men.
Mr.. Washington, a native-born
Virginian, lives with his wife and
5 children at local housing pro-
ject, and is active in the civic af-
fairs of the community.

FO MAN HEADS FRASER
CAMPAIGN FOR
HOUSE

Willard e. Fraser, Democratic can
didate for the~congress in the End con-
gressional district of Montana an
nounced this week the appointment
of Lyman Williams, popular young
Judith Basin county farmer, as presi-
dent of the Fraser for Congress club.
Mr.. Williams is a member of Judith
Basin County Farmers Union.
In commenting upon his acceptance
of the presidency of the Fraser for
Congress club, Mr. Williams said, CAS-
a farmer, and as friend, am happy
to accept this position to help send
Willard E. Fraser to congress. / have
known Willard Fraser since we were
room-mates at the university nearly
20 years ago. Willard was also best
man at my wedding.
1T is of the utmost importance to
the Farmers of Montana that the
Democratic farm program be main
tanned, and we can only hold that pro-
gram by sending men like Mr.. Fraser
to congress.
"The Importance of sending men
like Mr. Fraser to Washington be-
comes intensely important when one
stops to recall that in 1882 the total
cash income of all Montana farmers
was only $47000,000 and in 1929-the
high point of Republican prosperity
it was only SAB, 100000; whereas,
last year Q947) the total cash income
of all Montana farmers reached the
almost unbelievable sum of 1897, O00,-
900.
Another reason the wheat farmers
will support Mr.. Fraser is that they
have not forgotten that in 1882, wheat
was selling for 35 cents; in 1929 it
only sold for 90 cents: but in 1947 it
sold for three dollars per bushel
''In 1892" continued Mr. Williams,
farm mortgages were in excess of
S122,000000 with little hope of ever
paying off, but last year, the mort
cages on Montana farms had been re-
1uced to less than SAL, 100000, and |
his years bumper crop and splendid
price will cut deeply into that debt.
so" concluded Mr.. Williams, sit

Ter the terrible farm suffering during

way to continue these good times is

base their opposition on the theme
that it would react dangerously
against the vote the presidential
ticket would receive, which to them,
is the all-important thing this year.
Opposition is further based on lack
of effective organization at county
and local levels throughout the state.
Finally, opponents fear that such
move would lead to the defeat of
every liberal candidate on either old

Shades OF HENRY
DAMPEN Demo
CONVENTION

Billings, September /. Especially -
After generous applause for its con-
gressional and state candidates, an
other Democratic State Convention
passed into history last night. Presi-
dent Trumans name was mentioned
only in cases of necessity and then
with virtually no applause. The shad-
oW of Henry Wallace and his new
Progressive Party plainly appeared as
a dampener on Democratic enthusiasm
for it's national leadership of the past
three years. OF course, the name of
Mr.. Wallace was not openly bruited
about the convention After a three
hour canvass among the delegates by
this reporter, we have come to the
conclusion that perhaps one third of
these delegates will vote for Mr. Wal
lace.

ovation of the gathering.
MILDLY LIBERAL 80.
In what is perhaps the shortest
state platform in Montana political
history, the Democrats declared for a
mildly liberal program of added pro-
lection of civil rights, approval of
President Truman, development of
Montana's resources, better public
schools, increased highway construc-
ion and maintenance, continuance of
2EA, improved living standards for
veterans, cooperation towards more
housing, some extension of social Sc
