Michigan Police Claim
Confession in Fatal
Race Incident on Bus

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, July
3l.-Police today claimed a signed
admission from a young Negro col

because "he made some nasty re-
marks about colored people"
The victim, Edward Stowe, 20,

boris main intersection as scores OF
people strolled past.
Duain c Witherspoon, 20, was
taken into custody a few hours later
at his home after officers traced
medicine bottles found at the shoot
ing scene.
Faces Murder Charge.
Police Capt. Verne Story said
Witherspoon signed statement de-
failing the Staying. The ofdcer said
he would be arraigned on q murder
charge, probably Monday.
Capt. Story gave this account:
He said Bus Driver Arthur Wulf
had parked his vehicle at loading
area last night when Witherspoon
boarded it. Stowe, already on the
bus, apparently was jostled by the
Negro and an argument began.
Capt. Story said Witherspoon sud-
denly whipped out a nickel-plated
revolver and shot Stowe once
through the head.
Passengers in Near Panic.
The single shot threw the other
passengers into near panic and
they streamed from the vehicle.
Two women repeatedly tainted.
In the confusion. Witherspoon
fed down an alley but was arrested
a short time later.
He told officers he was q student
at Benton Harbor Junior College
Stowe, a fruit picker and harvest
hand, had lived in Benton Harbor
for some time. He came from War
dell. Mo. Police said he served
three years in the Missouri State
Penitentiary on a grand larceny
charge. He was the father OF a
9-week-old daughter.

Continued from Page 81
Jacksonville, Florida, who, ap-
palled by the number of high
school graduates in 1888 un-
able to fit themselves into in
dustry, decided to do some
thing about it.
They saw high schools CIV
ing college preparatory cours-
es to boys and girls, 800 of
whom would never see the
door of a college. They saw
students trained only in books
become stalemated in COM
munities where skilled work
men, such as plumbers, electri-
clans, carpenters, machine
men, and sales clerks were
needed. Trade schools were
not the answer, for most COM
munities were too small to be
able to support one. What then
could they use to bridge the
gap between schoolwork and
jobs?
Their simple low cost pro-
gram was the cooperative plan
It that of combining school
work and jobs. However, their
greatest headache came in in
ducing the local merchants
and manufacturers to take on
coop students.
But the program has grown
so large that within ten years
the number of coop students
has increased from 26 to over
5000.
Said the Vice-President of
an insurance company about
one of his coop students, "T
hate to admit it, but that high
school kid knows more about
this firm than most of the regu-
lar employees
However, will this working
during school seriously affect
the efficiency of the student
during class time? Let us hear

his buddies have to say in his

British Face a Long Pull

Cripps, possessor Of . prewar
Churchillian flare for the stark
truth, was reporting correctly when
he said the British have pulled
themselves together" The spirit
the intangible sense of growing con-
fldence, and the production figures,
all feel" better than when this
writer was here last fall.
But Cripps is right, too, when he
says the British haven't yet done
what they must do to survive. Their

for long. They are In position to

keep the wheels turning-the sharp

Clement Attlee, There must be
mass unemployment, and real des-

hands, but it cannot be done by the
British alone. The other part of
the answer lies with Congress.

tall relief supplies must 60 through
their Offices; direct United States
aid to Chinese peasants or Mon
golian herdsmen Is forbidden.
The Communists are, Of course,
not overlooking their opportuni-
ties. The Soviets in Outer Mon
golia have been trying to induce
the Mongols to emigrate into Outer
Mongolia. Within Inner Mongolia
itself, the Chinese Communist Party
has been barraging the population
with slogans, leaflets. pamphlets
and promises-"land to the tillers. y
they cry, and domestic animals
to the poor" not to mention "venge-
ance upon the oppressors."
Rumor in Inner Mongolia has it
that '1and to the tillers" becomes
wealth to the active supporters OF
communism" when the Reds take
over. But many reports credit the
Communists with having estab-
lished fairly efficient administra-
tions in the villages they govern.
Their currency. based on rice, is
exceptionally stable.
have surveyed the territory as
far west as Paotow on the Yellow
River and found its inhabitants on
the whole utterly apathetic, as a
result of confusion, poverty and
hopelessness. Nevertheless, the fact
that Communist propaganda has
had some effect is evidenced by the
number Of Mongolians who have
rallied around the Inner Mongolian
leader, Ulchi Ocher. Some Mon
golians have joined the Chinese Ma
tionalist Army, but by far the
greater majority are endeavoring te
remain neutral in . war which
affects them vitally.
No War of Words ..
Mongolians are not subject to
conscription by the Chinese Army
In the areas of Inner Mongolia
that still preserve q certain degree
Of autonomy. the princes of the
leagues have imposed a sort OF COM
pulsory military service. But, since
the Chinese government Is reluc-
tant to furnish adequate equipment
or even firearms, this militia is OF
little value-though 1t is claimed
by the princes that, as mounted
riflemen, their Mongol militia would
make an excellent mobile force
against Communist raids.
Watching the trainloads OF
wounded and dying soldiers return
ing from the front to their base at
Kalgan makes one vividly realize
that this is no war of words, nor
one of hit-and-run skirmishes; it Is
a grim and uncompromising
struggle. West Of Peiping, beyond
snowcapped Nankow Pass, the Com
munists are contesting the railway
running to Paotow. In the Peiping-
Kalgan sector of the northern front,
Nationalist Gen. Flu Tso-yi, with an
army Of 100000 infantrymen and
cavalry, is desperately trying to
guard this vital gateway to the
fertile yellow River plains OF North
China.
Gen. Flu has carried out sweeping
reforms in the army under his COM
mand. His efforts in providing
warm clothes, adequate rations and
pay for his soldiers has earned
loyalty and high morale. And it's
paying off in terms of defense. But
to keep that army north of the
Great Wall, other reforms will have
to be effected in Inner Mongolia.

poor; now, he would be filthy rich. >"
The chaos existing in Inner Mon
golia is, Of course, grist to the Com
munist mill. The Mongol suppress
sion campaign of some 80 years ago
has left many Mongols embittered
and implacable enemies of the Chi
nese government. Chinese infiltra-
ton and carpetbagging has done
little to erase the enmity. Also,
relief supplies donated to China
suffered an ever-greater maldistri-
button in Inner Mongolia than was
the case in other parts Of China.
Supplies Were Inadequate
Out Of all the supplies allocated
by UNRRA for the people of Inner
Mongolia, less than one-third ever
reached the destitute. and those
supplies that did reach them were
composed largely Of goods that had
no ready appeal to the black mar
ket. In Inner Mongolia today one
can see evening dresses, light cot
ton fabrics and slippers in a sub
zero climate, making tragic bur-
lesque of UNRRA's aid to the Inner
Mongolian people.
Now post-UNRRA aid has been
begun by the United States. The
program is called the international
Relief Committee and has sent $780,
100000 to Chinese people to tide
them over until Congress allocates
funds for its China Relief Program.
The directors OF this relief plan
in Inner Mongolia are Georg and
Gustav Soderbom, two Swedish
brothers who know Inner Mongolia
and are enthusiastically trying to
aid its people. Georg Soderbom
stated that I'VE could do a good
Job, If we were sure Of receiving
even 40 per cent Of whatever re-
lief supplies are allocated to the
destitute of Inner Mongolia. -.a
But he is not certain what share
Of the supplies he will get to dis
tribute. Already Chinese govern
ment officials have declared that
