A dozen history-making episodes

This collective, tragic mask OF
mankind Is the one captured In
PAramounts 15-minute summary Of
1s47. It is a dramatic sitting Of the
tens Of thousands OF feet of 1ilms
which the company's news photo

IL months now ended. It Is. as
usual, one Of the most engrossing
screen items of its period.
It Is an honest film, as newsreels

depressing one. Paramount's editors
have seen to it that the film has the
right proportions Of dramatic con-
trast. The clown Is permitted to
stick his laughable face into the

haunted look.

State Supreme
Court Rules White
Husband Inherits
Property Of Negro
Wife
CASE BELIEVED FIRST IN
STATES HISTORY

In the first case of its kind IN
the history of Mississippi the
State Supreme Court in an OPINION
handed down here last week upheld
the right of a white man to inherit
the property of Negro wife.
This was the effect of the decis-
ion of the State Supreme Court in
reversing the Chancery Court of
Kinds County in the case of Alex
d. Miller versus James Lucks. and
other Negro relatives of the de-
ceased wife.
The property in question located
on South Roach Street was the pro
perty of Pearl Mitchell, a one time
well known local Negro woman
whom the white man is said to
have lived with here and who mar
ried her after they moved to Chi
cago, Illinois.
The couple left Jackson to take
up residence in Chicago. in 1928
after they had been arrested here
and charged with unlawful cohabi-
tation. After going to Chicago the
couple married and lived together
as man and wife until the death
in 1945.
In the original case in the Kinds
county Chancery Court Judge v
J. Stricken ruled that the white
person could not inherit the pro-
perty of a Negro resulting from
marriage under Mississippi Law.
In commenting on the Mississip-
pi law which forbids marriage OF a
white person to person OF one
eighth or more Negro blood, the
Supreme Court opinion written by
Chief Justice Sydney Smith says:
"These sections of the constitu-
ton and stature of course have no
extra territorial effect, and this
marriage being valid in Illinois,
where contracted, must be reccgni-
zed and given effect as such un-
less so to do violates this stature
or the stats policy as declared here
/, in"
The chief justice cites that nei-
Their Miller nor the Negro woman
ever came back to Mississippi.
ssWhat we are requested to do is
simply recognize this marriage
one of the parties thereto inherit
from the other property in Mississ
ippi." Chief Justiae Smith writes,
"and to that extent it must and
will be recognized.

Miss. Lilly-White Republicanism Again
Rejected BY National Body
DIR. Lee M. Owens On Platform Comm.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. June 10
Lilly-White Republicanism in Mis-
:sissippi was again rejected here
today when the National Repub-
lican Committee voted unanimous
ly to seat the delegation headed by
Perry w. Howard, National Com
mitteeman from his state and the
only Negro member of that body.
The right of the delegation head
ed by Howard, to be seated in the
National Republican Convention
opening here Monday was contest
ed by the Independent Republican
Party of Mississippi; pronounced
Lilly-White group under the lead
ership of George L. Sheldon, q
former Republican Governor Of
Nebraska.
The standing of Perry Howard
at the convention and with the
Republican leadership was seer
before the contest began, when
upon his recommendation DR.. Lee
M. Owens of Vicksburg was made
a member of the Civil Rights
Committee of the National Plat
form Committee.
The fate of the Sheldon group
became evident. after the Georgia
contest which proved to be the
most significant of the pre-con-
vention struggle for delegates
when the committee limited the
argument in the Mississippi con
test to fifteen minutes to each
side.
Attorney Bernard w. Chill OF
Jackson, only spokesman for the
Sheldon Group in an otherwise
brilliant argument, reaffirmed the
Lilly-White position of the grouT
and made the fatal mistake of as
sorting that only "White" leader
