Bill McKechnie did not want to
take any chance on Satch's sore
finger, suffered the other night
in the st. Louis game Friday.
While himself, he had not fully
recovered from his sore ankle
which was true about Larry, as
he limped off the field following
his long fly for the out.
LARRY said he appreciated the
large crowd of colored fans who
turned out in hopes of seeing him
and Satch perform, but in base
ball, it is the first thought of the
management to mend the injuries
of the players before sending them
into action.

U. S. Sues to Get

Carver Memorial

JOHN, Mo-, July Is. (ANP)
A condemnation suit entered by
the United States government in
Federal court here last week be-
came the initial step to implement
a congressionally approved birth
place memorial honoring the dis
tinguished American scientist,
George Washington Carver.
The legal move was made on
behalf of the secretary of the in
terror to acquire the land where
the late DR.. Carver was born. The
scientist philosopher, who through
experiments made peanuts and soy

beans into usable, marketable
crops, was born in a small cabin
on a farm near Diamond, Mo-, a
short distance from Joplin, spent
his early years here and lived and
attended school at Neosho, Mo.
Form of the monument or the
area of land sought was not dis
closed. The suit AYERS that the
government has been unable to
agree with the present owners on
a satisfactory price for the Car
yer birthplace. They ask that a
board Of commissioners be named
to appraise it and that the court
condemn it for the government.
The petition recits that congress
has passed a bill authorizing pur-
chase of the site.

Using Violence
To Fight Civil Rights

white colleges and universities.
The southern white man can't
stomach a Negro running for a
public office.
Ku Klux Khan activities have
increased in the south since Presi-
dent Truman advocated civil
rights for Negroes and the U. S.
Supreme court has handed down
the Irene Morgan decision and the
ruling on the old restrictive cove
nant cases.
There will be more lawlessness
and resort to brute force in the
future as the courts rule favor
ably on cases involving Negro
rights in the south simply because
the south has no interest in de-
mocracy and humanity as they
apply to Negroes,
Police brutality has increased
in several southern cities since
agitation started over the civil
rights issue. On the least provoca-
ton Negroes are beaten unmerci-
fully and unnecessarily. Such
cases get nowhere when protested
in police court. Such instances
have occurred in cities of this
state and in Virginia, North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippie, within the last year.
Civil liberty means different
things to white people-one thing
for white people and something
else for Negroes. This is the at
titude of the white legislators and
lawmakers, the judges and juries
and the county supervisors, sher-
ifs, mayors, governors and U. S.
Presidents - they all recognize
justice as n thing for whites
and a different thing for Negroes.
There is no freedom train in
America. The Freedom train
which passed through the south a
few months ago was not as real
as the underground railroad was a
100 years ago.
The underground railroad ac-
tually carried Negroes to freedom.
The Freedom train had relics of
a struggle for freedom-for white
men attained for Negroes a hol-
low mockery!

Murder Was Result
OF Drinking Party

Another cold blooded murder
shocked residents of the West Side
this past weekend. At about 4:58
.. m. Sunday Mrs. Nettie Spiller
of 528 Blanche street, was shot
three times by a The shoot
ing occurred on McCabe avenue
near Ingram street.
Witnesses to the shooting saw
the slayer disappear through a
nearby alley. A police ambulance
was hastily summoned but Mrs.
Spiller died on the way to the
St. Elizabeth hospital. Death was
homicide by Coroner A. P. Me-
Donald.
According to information re-
ceived by the police, the husband
of the dead woman has been link
ed to the shooting. Police were
still searchingf for the man yes
terday.
Although the number of deaths
from shootiags have dropped off
from last summer, the rate is still
beyond ,whateit should be for a
city of this nagAsgs b curse
it should be- down to zero. But it
will remain the same as long as
we continue se way we
do. For example, this latest shoot
ing, according to witnesses, re-
suited from asday Of wine drink
ing. The husband and wife were
seated in the yard d good portion
of the day drinking and arguing.
Suddenly the husband whipped out
a gun and shot his wife while she
was seated in an iron beach chair.
Pannick, he threw away his gun
as he ran. Police retrieved it.
If we cannot drink without get
ting violent and murderous, we
should cease drinking. But under
all circumstances we should cease
carrying firearms. The courts
should impose severe fines and
work house sentences to all those
caught bearing guns and knives.
