in the Gordon murder case, con-
fessed to police that he murdered
MI. and Mrs. Walter l.. Gordon
Sr. in their bathtub at their home,

tense. Deputy District Attorney

cutor.
This confession marked the first
time that Appleby had said any

wife to police. His sister in Pixies
vile, KY. had hired the two at
torneys for him. The public de-
fender had been scheduled to
take his case.

1t Happened
In New York
By GLADYS P. GRAHAM

NEW YORK. March 26. GAN
P)-The city council of New York
is rearranging it's sessions SO that
Councilman Benjamin J. Davis
Jr., alleged Communist on trial
in Federal court, might attend
meetings of the body. This con-
cession gives the Harlem leader
opportunity to defend himself at
his trial and still carry out the
duties of his legislative body.
Difficulties have been expert
enced in securing a jury for the
Red panel. Some 80 talesmen
have declined for n reason or
another. However, an Edge
combe avenue dweller, Thelma Di-
al may be the first Negro woman
in the history of the Federal
court in this area to serve as
foremen at a Communist trial.
Eleven of the alleged top Reds
have seer the seventh week of
examination go by without the
selection of a jury panel to try
them.

NP-George E. Ross, a candidate
for a seat on the city council of
this city, from the third ward
was refused admittance to the
Tabernacle Baptist church last
week, it has been disclosed.
According to Ross, the church
was promised him to hold a meet
ing for the purpose of stirring
up interest in his campaigning for
the office. Ross further stated
approximately 1900 Negroes and
a number of white citizens walked
away from the church after the
Rev. Allen R. Cooper, presiding
elder of the AME conference of
Macon, Ga, who had been in
vited to be the principal speak
er, was denied entrance to the
main auditorium of the church.
The Tabernacle Baptist church

Negroes of Augusta. 1t has the
largest seating capacity of any
Negro church in the city.
Ross stated "I am more deter

1.-THE Mixup"
A Success

The Allen Players presented
the hilarious comedy in three acts,
"The Mixup" last evening before
a very sizeable audience at the
Dunbar High School auditorium
Adapted from Paul S. McCoy's
play, "Here Comes Hattie, it
was directed by F. Arlington
Young.
The play was appropriately
titled for by the end of the first
act the impetuous Greene family
had become so involved in family
entanglements as to drive their
friends out of their minds. The
Greenes are rather anxious to
receive some of the wealth of a
widowed aunt, Aunt Hattie.
Unfortunately, Thomas, the son
sings in a night club and, conse-
quently, his sisters %boyfriend has
to pose as him in order to prevent
the aunt from becoming shocked
to the extent of cutting him off.
AS you can see, the complications
can, and did begin to pile up on
one another.
Top acting chores went to Ro-
sale Young, who played Aunt
Hattie. James Wilson as William
Billings, the daughters boy
friend, also stood out. We didn't
see enough of pretty Norma J.
Strother who played the scheming
secretary ofAunt Hattie. Others
in the play were Cora Harris,
William Caldwell, Ruby Kent,
Robert King, Maxine Wyatt and
Doris Brooks. They all played
creditably for amateurs.
The play was sponsored by the
Allen Senior Ushers Board of the
ALE ma ME Church. Proceeds
were to go the fund the Board
pledged a few years ago to furnish

Aptitude Test Adopted
By Air Traininq Command

The Air Force announced today
the adoption of an aptitude test by
its Air Training Command.
The new test system is expected
to result in more efficient use OF
Air Force manpower, the announce
ment said. It replaces the Armys
General Classification Test, which
was designed more to determine
overall ability rather than aptitude
for a particular job," it added.
The new testing method was
developed by the Research and De-
velopment Division of the Air Train
ing Command after two years OF
study, during which experimental
questions were given to about 1O0,-
900 basic airmen at Lakeland Air
Force Base, San Antonio, Tex. 1t
requires two days for completion and
consists of eight groupings of re-
lated specialties.
