Alcorn $ High
School Reinsiaied
By Board Trustees

The Board of Trustees of Alcorn
College meeting recently, ''reinStat-
ed the High School Department
at Alcorn College on the basis of
proposal submitted by Mr.. Segrest.
County Superintendent of Claibor-
ne County, to the effect that he
and Supt. Winters of Jefferson
County, would reimburse Alcorn
College for elementary pupils at
the rate of $3.50 annually and high
school pupils at the rate of $500
annually"
1t was tragic for the Board of
Trustees to hae to discontinue the
high school here; Alcorn College
did not want this to happen. But
greater financial cooperation of the
local counties was an absolute nec-
eSSity. Now that we have this CO.
operation, the high school depart
ment at Alcorn College should be
better than ever before.

To Death al Chicago Hotel
By the Associofed Press

CHICAGO, May 24.-An attorney
and his wife plunged nine floors to
death early today from their North
Side hotel room.
They were Harry Grundy 40, and
Lourena, 48, of Taylorville, III.
The bodies struck the sidewalk in
front of the Commonwealth Hotel at
2757 Pine Grove avenue foot apart
after crashing through window pane
and screen of their rooms window.
Mr.. Grundy's body was clad in
pajamas, that of his wife wrapped
In a housecoat. Her shattered wrist
watch stopped at 5:35 o'clock.
1t. Albert Hoffman of the Shef-
field Avenue police station said a
medical case report found in the
Grundys luggage indicated that the
attorney had suffered an illness and
was subject to fits of depression. He
said there was no sign of a struggle
in the room.

We cannot spare him from the
urgent jobs before his department.
I urge the Department of Com
merce to reject his resignation and
to demonstrate our confidence In
him by inviting him to remain at
his post.
Let us show the Communist
world that we judge each man on
his own merits: that we do not hold
an established citizen accountable
for the failings of others. John
Virden deserves to stay in our Gov
ernment. Let us keep him there" "
Criticism of Mr.. Crawford's part
in the case came yesterday from
DR.. A. Powell Davies, pastor Of All
Souls Unitarian Church, who ac-
cused Mr.. Crawford of stupid and
unnecessary blunders" for demand
ing the dismissal of Mr.. Virden.
DR.. Davies, in a sermon on Per
sonal Relationships in Time OF
Crisis" cited the Virden case as
clumsy handling of a painful and
sensitive personal relationship"
Points to Fellow -BlundererS."
The pastor, who witnessed the
Communist coup in Czechoslovakia,
said Mr.. Crawford's action was a
boon to the Kremlin."
1T sometimes seems to me that

munist collaborators known as fell

ought to recognize a second cate
