ATLANTA CAMP A verti-
BILE network now blankets the en-
tire South for the prevention Of
race riots and lynching. The net
work is a function Of the South
ern Regional council whose MEM
bership is divided about evenly be-
tween Negro and white souther-
ners and whose primary purpose
is to rid the area of it's traditional
racial prejudice so that the South
might benefit economically and
perhaps to a lesser degree, social
ly.
The council inherited this func-
ton from the old Southwide Com
mission on ~Interracial cooperation
The latter group got it's start in
the early '2O's as a counter action
to racial terrors following World
War I and the re-emergence of
the Ku Klux Khan. 1t was a mix

Horton, 17-year-old newcomer to

Horace shot at a 14-year-old

violently and caused a near riot.
In boys court, he was ordered

Mass. Superior
Court ExOnerates
Boston Lad

BOSTON, Mass. (ANP)- Last
week young Harold Benders, who
had been curiously found guilty
in Juvenile court of intent to as
sault Gerald Ball, MIA guard who
slugged him with an iron pipe
last July 4, was ex~onerated by a
decision of Chief Justice John P.
Higgins after a conference with
Attys. Gabriel Kantrotviz and Ma
than Greenberg, counsel for Ben
ders, and opposing counsel, in his
chambers. Young Benders had ap-
pealed the decision of the lower
court.
Citizens protest groups express
ed the telling of the community in
viewing the Juvenile court deci-
sion as a miscarriage of justice.
On the morning of the Surerior
court decision a delegation went
to the office of Dist. Atty. Will
liam J. Foley to ask that the case
against the lad be dismissed. The
delegation was led by John E.
Mitchell of the United Packing
house Workers union (CIO) and
included Mrs. Otis A. Hood, Miss
Marion Shubert, Harold Blackwell,
and William Harrison, associate
editor of the Boston Chronicle.
After counsel for Benders con-
scented, Chief Justice Higgins filed
the case, thereby negating the
lower court, in order that the lad
would have no record to tarnish
his reputation, stating that he
would not have pressed the charge
if he had been so empowered.

Riot Network

near of correcting them.
In '3O's DR.. Howard Odum, So
biologist at the University Of North
Carolina, published his monument
al work, Southern Regions of
the United States" This study
convinced both Negro and white
southerners that an agency was
needed to keep people informed
on many phases Of life in the
South. After a series of meetings
the ~interracial organization de-
cided to broaden it's work. The
council was formed in 1915 and
the commission merged with it.
AS it now exists, the network in
any given town may involve a Ne
gro, teacher, lawyer, doctor, minis
ter, banker or editor and his
counterpart. Through long expert
ence, Negro leaders learned to
recognize the symptoms of incipi-
ent racial trouble. Wherever they
feel an incident or series or in
cidents has the making of trouble,
one of their white colleagues is
given the information to pass on
to proper authorities for action.
Though the councils work ex-
tends all over the South, the sys-
tenn is not perfect. Most of it's
5000 members are concentrated
in urban areas, and there, are
hundreds of places where it has
neither members nor connections.
One of the main things which
the SRC steadfastly follows is the
idea that the South's. problems
can be solved best by those with
in region. For that reaso alone,
voting membership in the group
is limited to residents of the 10
states between Virginia and Texas
This does not mean that the coun-
Gil discourages membership by
others.
AS DR.. George S. Mitchell, ex-
ecutive director of the council
from Richmond, Va, put it.:
"The main job of the council is
to get the South to see that pre-
JUDGE and bitterness are, in part,
shadows cast by poverty and in
equality. We have not made a
head-on attack on race prejudice.
We have worked with and through
people who do not have it, to
spread that example into as many
communities as possible.
"But the object Of working to-
gether without prejudice is to get
for the whole South the material
conditions which we think will dry
up prejudices. Thus we press for
whatever will get the South
health, housing schools, jobs and
good farms.
"We never have made it a
point to be SO far inadvance Of

conclusion of armistice agree
ments between Israel and the
Arab states. The report of the
Cancellation Commission, includ-
ing the recommendations of the
economic survey mission, to come
before this Assembly, should
help, he said, provide machinery
for reaching a real permanent
peace in Palestine. "The United
States stands ready to give It's
full support and assistance to
this effort" he declared.
An indication of a conciliatory
Arab mood at the Assembly was
seen in the fact that Faris ell
Khoury, Syrian delegate, speak,
ing during the general debate
on the world situation, conspic-
uously omitted all reference to
the Palestine situation. Aubrey
Eban, head of the Israel dele
cation, may not speak during the
general debate unless the Arab
delegates raise the Palestine is
sue.
Although no official comment
was forthcoming from the Israel
delegation in response to Secre-
tary Acheson's remarks, Israel
circles reacted favorably to the
speech. They gave special weight
to Mr.. Acheson's reference to a
practical" plan Of International
ization of the city, which was as
sumed to mean workable
scheme and one agreed to by all
parties.

cutting and used the trees in the
area to illustrate. He illustrated
the advantages of selective cut
ting by calling attention to the
good and bad features of the
stand of pine.
He informed the cutters that
thinning was the best way to cut
timber and leaving seed trees
was the very least to be expected
of them.
To make the TWO preceding
talks even more impressive, M.
o. Stark, conservation engineer
with the International Paper
company, released a handful of
pine seeds to show how they were
borne on the wind to reseed the
land. Then, accompanied by the
group of pulpwood cutters, he
showed how to select a seed tree.
Each tree so selected was marked
with a small tag designating it as
a seed tree.
Mr.. Stark Toid the cutters that
the international Paper company
was a staunch supporter of the
state seed tree law, but preferred
that even six Or eight seed trees
be left per acre rather than the
four required by law.
Seeds Are Available.
A. j. Franklin, county agent,
told the cutters that pine seed
lings are available for reforest-
| ing timberIands and that any per
son wishing to get some. can do
so without cost by filing an APP
plication at his office. Mr.. Frank
lin pointed out the necessity for
filing applications as soon as
possible.
The demonstration series be-
gan three years ago in Jones
county. The plan of these meet
ings, which are a part of a long
range program of forest %conserva-
ton, is to take the information
to the man who does the actual
cutting, it was stated.
Stencilled warnings, stop
woods fires, which are painted
on the sides of the wood trucks
serve as a constant reminder of
the necessity of fire protection.
