The girls tumbling team, under
the direction of Miss White, girls
physical education director, enter
tanned the Lions Club at their
semi-monthly dinner on October
26. The seniors who participated
in the program were invited to the

Many of these acrobatic stunts
had catchy names like "fan and
fountain" pyramids, fish flop"
and banana peel" The audience
could be seen holding it's breath as
the girls performed the difficult
task of building the different pyr-
amids and diving over as many as
five people.
For amusement and variety

Wilson, two of the strongest girls
on the team, revealed their
strength in very original act.

looking uniforms consisting of
blue capes with gold lining with a
blue 3D." white shirts with blue
ties, and white trousers with a
blue stripe down the side.
The band made grand showing
considering the short time in which
it had practiced. The drum-major-

"prancing around"
Mr.. Earl, the music instructor,
plans to drill the band in forming
school letters on the field.

250-Car Motorcade.
Among those greeting him at the
station were cabinet members, his
military staff, national Democratic
officials and others.
Mr.. Truman's ride to the White
House was at the head of a 250-ca1
motorcade. The President rode in
an open car with Commissioner Guy
Mason, Arthur Clarendon Smith
president of the District Truman
Barkley Club, and AL Wheeler, chair
man of the District Central Demo-
cratic Committee.
The President was clearly en-.
thusiastic over the reception the
country accorded him and came
home convinced that he was making
an impression with the argument
that the Republicans favor "the in
terests," and that only under Demo
cratic rule can the people" prosper
Public reaction to his visit also
cheered Democrats, particularly in
places such as Oklahoma, Kentucky
and West Virginia, where Repub-
licans can throw around a lot OF
weight.

Man Gets Jail Term,
His 18th in II Years

Philip Eugene Godfrey, At. was
committed to District Jail for a
year yesterday. but the sensation
was anything but novel.
AS his short, but compact record
showed, Godfrey now is settling
down to his 18th jail term in II
years over which time he aggre-
gated more than five years in sem
tences.
Judge Aubrey B. Fennell noted
the "monotonous regularity" with
which Godfrey had been convicted
of grand larceny, petty larceny,
shoplifting, purse snatching and
soliciting aims
With the latest Municipal Court
conviction the man swelled his third
category-he admitted shoplifting a
woman's purse from downtown de-
partment store on Friday. Godfrey

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 2.-Progres-

the Georgia ballot today after what
they protested was fast and tricky
deal by the Georgia Legislature.
They said they had met existing
requirements when they brought
petitions with $4,000 signatures to
Secretary of State Ben Fortson
Thursday. They thought they were
in.
Yesterday, however, the Georgia
Legislature passed a new election
law. 1t was signed by Gov. M. E.
Thompson today. Three hours later,
the Progressives were out in the

Mr.. Fortson ruled they had not

The constitutional issue goes back
to the days of Chief Justice Mar

right of access to Federal courts
outside the District. While Sympa-
thizing with the District and noting
the inconsistency of granting such

territories, he held it was matter

judicial consideration.

Urged by BarkIey
To Elect Humphrey
BY the Associoted Press

MANKATO, Mimi, Oct 2-Sena-
tor Barkley urged Minnesota farm
ers tonight to elect Hubert Hum
phrey to- the Senate to help the
Democrats in their fight for wise
and liberal farm program"
Mr. Humphrey, Mayor of Min
neapolis. is the Democratic Sena-
torial nominee opposing Senator
Ball, Republican.
In the first grain belt speech of
his airborne campaign, originally
scheduled for nearby Rochester,
Mimi, the Democratic vice-presi-
dental nominee attacked the Re-
publican farm record and said the
COP is asking farmers to buy a
horse without being allowed to look
at its teeth"
Criticizing Gov. Dewey's utter
ances on agriculture, Senator Bark
lev said the total intelligence I
have been able to receive from Gov.
Dewey's farm policies is that he is
for the farmers"
The Governor of New York has
Enthusiastically lodged the issue"
he added. Il do not believe that
the farmers of the United States
are willing to allow themselves to
be taken in by doses of New York
soothing syrup, accompanied by the
faint odor of California orange
blossoms"
II the Republicans win in No.
vember, Senator Barkley said. "the
private utility interests and the
great grain spectators will have
major voice in establishing Repub-
llcan farm programs"
Because of restrictions placed on
the Commidity Credit Corp. by the
Republican Congress. Senator Bark
ley said, thousands of farmers have
had to sell grain this year 'at
distress prices and thousands more
will take heavy losses as the crops
come in"
The Minnesota Senate seat is one
the Democrats hope to pick up in
their bid to regain control of the
Senate. Senator Barkley's itinerary
calls for speeches in all States in
which there are crucial Senate con-
tests.

Georgia Police Agent
e
Confirms Abduction
Of 5 Progressives
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTA, Oct. "A State
police agent today reported five
Progressive Party workers actually
were abducted in Augusta last Sum-
day.
The agent was j. P. Hillen of
the Georgia Bureau OF Investiga-
ton. Mr.. Hillen was named by one
of the abducted workers, Mrs. Anne
Leathers of Atlanta, as among those
who carried them off.
The OBI agent in his official re-
port to Gov. M. E. Thompson said
he was sent from Marietta, Ga,
to Augusta after the reported in
cident.
Said Mr.. Hillen: '"The incident
undoubtedly occurred, but it did
not happen just as they stated it
to begin with, and, after its COM
mission, these people tried in every
way to use the publicity to their
advantage"
Says One was Hit in Eye.
The workers story that all we're
beaten, said Mr.. Hillen, wasn't true
One of the Progressive Party
members, Forbes Hill, Mr.. Hillen
said, picked up a baseball bat to
defend himself during the incident
and was hit in the left eye by one
of the abductors,
Hill told me-" Mr.. Hillen con-
tinued, that he had been hit on the
head a couple Of times with a
pistol which: If this had happened,
would have lacerated the scalp
severely and possibly would have
fractured his skull. There were no
wounds on Mr.. Hills head whatever
that I could find and neither could
the doctors at University Hospital" :"
Police Version of Incident.
Mr. Hillen in his report gave this
version Of the abduction:
Forty or so men entered the home
of j. w. Gitt, publisher of the
York Pa) Gazette, through a win
dow and the doors. They came out
escorting the party workers by the
arm, but with no signs of ANY
roughness whatsoever" Mr.. Gitt
is a Progressive Party official and
has been active on the Henry WAL
lace campaign. He offered his
winter home in Augusta for use of
the party.
The motive for the abduction. said
Mr. Hillen. was the fact that the
party workers have been openly
associating with the colored race in
that locality"
The Progressives said they were
abducted by a mob of about 200
men and carried II miles out of
town where they were abandoned
and beaten.
In addition to Mr.. Hill and Mrs
Leathers. those who charged they
were abducted are Gaye Loring of
New York. Betty Wilkins of Wash
ington and Betty Ann Kimmel Of
Atlanta.

Georgia Progressives, Ruled
Off Ballot, Charge Trickery

signers of petitions to get on the
ballot were registered voters in the
last election.
Progressives said such a barrier
wasn't in Georgia law when they
gathered the petitions. They had
their lawyers studying the case to
see if they could claim a spot on
the ballot on grounds they had met
all qualifications at the time they
filed.
The new law, however, specifically
declares it will apply to any petit
tions already on file for this years
general election.
Progressives had sought to run
James M. Barfoot, former univer-
sity professor, for Governor, and
Larkin Marshal, Macon Negro pub
Usher, for Senator.
The furor over State candidates
doesn't bar electors for Henry Wal
lace for President and Senator Tay-

In other labor cases, three rail-

preme Court to rule on legality of
the injunction issued in District
Court last May to prevent a strike
The court also has been asked to
rule on whether an employer must
bargain with union before he can
give merit raises to individual
workers.
Other Cases Await Action.
Other questions awaiting consid-
Grafton include:
Whether the Jehovah's Witnesses
