In the series Of street-corner

Mr.. Mcintyre. whose campaign

Judith coplon xpeeded up today
as II entered its fourth week Il
| District Court after Judge Albert
L. Reeves ruled that Defense At
torney Archibald Palmer would
have 20 stop the repetitive oues-
/ tioning that has stalled the Gov
ernment's presentation Of It's case
so far.
/ Mr.. Palmer protested bitterly
when the judge cracked down un
tactics which enabled him 70 keep
Government witness for almost
| four days last week. cross-examin-
| ing him about direct testimony
he had delivered in Is minutes
Judge. when I argue with you
feel hopeless and helpless be-
cause I never get anywhere. Mr.
Palmer protested. Il can only
protect the record"
"You shouldn't say that because
| it isn't So" demonstrated Judge
Reeves whose patience has evoked
widespread comment among MEM
bers of the local bar. Now get on
with the case"
Another FBT Agent Tesifies.
Special Agent Martin r Carey
OF the FBI was the first witness
called by the Government this
morning. In 20 minutes OF direct
| testimony he told of shadowing
Miss Coplon over a circuitous route
to a rendezvous with her alleged
accomplice. Valentine A. Gubit-
chev, 32-year-old Russian engi-
neer, in New York on March I
Later that night Miss Coplon and
Gubitchev were arrested and the
Government agents found q num-
Der Of top secret documents affect
ing national security in her purse
Under cross-examination Mr.
Carey told Mr.. Palmer ne had
obtained q Master of Science de-
gree from the graduate school OF
Boston College.
What is social science?" asked
Mr.. Palmer.
I'VE all know what that is. now
let's get on with this case" in
terposed Judge Reeves.
Judge Contradicts Palmer.
IT don't know what 1t is" pro-
tested Mr.. Palmer.
Yes you do" said Judge Reeves
sharply. Now proceed to some
other question.
Mr.. Palmer then resorted to his
favorite tactic of drawing from
the Government agent a split
second schedule Of Miss Coplon's
movements on the night she was
arrested and then shifting to the
agents movements on other dates.
Mr.. Palmer asked il Agent
Carey had observed anything un-
usual In the gait Of Miss Coplon
when she arrived in New York on
February 18 for the second of her
three observed meetings with
Gubitchev.
Defense Attacks FBI Agents.
I'VE all know about that" Judge
Reeves interposed. She broke
her shoe strap and there is moth
ing wrong about that"
II say there is something wrong
about this whole case" shot back
Mr.. Palmer. These FBI men
look at things with opaque glasses
everything they see is wrong
and nothing Is good"
When Judge Reeves ordered Mr..
Palmer to break of that line Of
questioning the defense attorney
shouted, Il certainly take excep-
ton to that"
Miss Coplon. who is 90. was
working as an analyst in the

Murder Case

AIKEN, S. C. CAMP l.. D.
Harris, freed several weeks ago
by a U. S. Supreme court ruling
was dismissed from prison last
week when State Solicitor B. d.
Carter announced that the state of
Sounth Carolina had dropped it's
case against Harris.
Harris had been held in the
state prison for weeks although
the Supreme court had ruled that
the confession" on which he was
convicted of the murder of two
whites, MI. and Mrs. Edward Ben
nett, was obtained through force.
Harris was originally convicted
by Judge J. Robert Martin Jr. The
state Supreme court by a Sd vote
upheld the conviction, but the high
! est court of the nation reversed
the ruling. Judge Martin had
sentenced Harris to die in the
electric chair Feb. 20, 1947.
When the couple were found
shot Sunday morning, April 20,
1916, Bennett melted the search
for a Negro when his dying words
were "a big Negro shot and rob-
bed me-" His wife died before she
"culd make a statement.
Although Harris is a small
fellow, authorities picked him up
in Nashville, Tenn, where he work
ed as a laborer and arrested him.
Police grilled him and finally an
nounced that he had confessed
freely and voluntarily"
Judge Martin then appointed
. State Sen. Dorcey K. Lybrand
and former State Rep. Leonard R.
Williamson, and Julian B. Salley
Jr., of Aiken to defend the Negro.
Carter introduced the confession
as evidence, but Harris attorneys
! objected. On this point they ap-

WASHINGTON CAMP Presi-
dent Truman, this week, promised
the National Bar Association that
he would seriously consider it's
invitation to speak at the oath

zenship" in this country.

nous resolution has been passed
at each of the associations annual
conventions for the past three
years, commencing President Tru-
man for the consistently high
ground on which he has conduct
ed his fight for civil rights.
Dodson told Mr.. Truman that he
lent dignity to the Presidency in
this fight such as no other Presi-
dent has done since Abraham
Lincoln.
The President was reminded
that his very presence at this
convention would bring hope to
theoppressed peoples everywhere.
The National Bar association, an
organization composed Of 900 of
the 1900 colored lawyers in this
country, has previously CORES
ponded with the President in re-
gard to the appointment Of quail
fled Negroes to fill some Of the 81
judgeship vacancies which now
exist.
This question, however, was not
discussed with Mr.. Truman at the
Wednesday conference.
Aside from Atty. Dodson, the
other members of the association
which visited the President, were

president; Richard R. Atkinson,
chairman of the program com
