How to Avoid Hay
Fever

Get rid of ragweed now If you
don't want to suffer with hay fever
this autumn. That's the advice of
the State Board of Health.
Pollen of ragweed is the cause of
more than 80 percent of all autumn
hay fever, says the state health de-
partment, This pollen begins to
ripen in August. That's why 1t is
important to stamp out the pesky
weed during July.
You can kiln ragweed in two ways
- take your choice: either spray
the nuisance" plant with an eff
fective weed killer, or, if you need
exercise pull the weeds up by the
roots.
P.S. - Don't forget that tn rag
weeds that grow in the vacant lot
next door are just as dangerous as
the ones in your yard.

Supreme Court Frees
Nan Doomed To Die

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - Id.
Harris, %, of Aiken, S. c. native,
sentenced to die for double MUIR
der in Aiken county in April, 1916
is we'll on his way to being a free
man as result of u. S. Supreme
court decision that his confession to
the crime. was obtained by fear and
physical force. Harris was convicted
January, 1947 for killing Mr.. and
Mrs. E. L. Bennett, White, rural
storekeepers near Aiken and was
scheduled to die in the electric chair
last February 10.
However, he was granted stay
of execution until the supreme court
heard his appeal.
At issue was the matter of wheth-
Ell his confession was obtained by
physical force, violence, fear,
threats, intimidation and duress.
The Aiken county court of general
sessions and the state supreme court
ruled it had been freely and volun-
tarily made" The high court of the
land, in a ga decision, ruled other
wise.
The victims lived over their store.
Bennett was found MORALLY wound
ed near an open, empty cash draw
er by a neighbor. His wife was
slumped on the floor by the kitchen
door. In his dying breath, Bennett
said " A big Negro shot me and robb
ed me-"
Harris was arrested in Nashville
and returned to Aiken for question
ing. After three days, he signed a
confession.
In his appeal, Harris claimed two
of his questioners struck him in the
face and another shook a black jack
at him. He quoted one as saying, III
you don't say you did kill those
people we will get a rope and d
rubber hose and you know what we
will do"
The reversing decision was hand
ed down by Justice Frankfurthei
and was based on the allegation
that Harris was held long time
without being arraingned. Justice
jackson wrote the dissenting opin
ion, sided by Chief Justice Vinsor
and Justices Reed and Burton.

For worker making 500
month, benefits now range from $25
to $3.50 after 80 years. Under the
proposed law this range would be
from $40 to $50, or more than a
so per cent increase.
Under the present law, no more
earnings than $4,000 a year-$25C
a month-are taken into considera-
ton in establishing benefits. The
basic benefit on earnings at that
scale is $40 a month. 1t increases
at the rate of l per cent a year
After 80 years, therefore, the bene-
fit would be $50.
Under Mr.. Altmeyer's recommen-
dation, the ceiling would be raised
to $4,000 a year or $400 a month
The basic benefit would be $40 q
month and after 80 years would
be SOL.
The Stettinius Advisory Councils
recommendation is for a ceiling OF
$4,000, or $3.50 a month. The basic
benefit payment would be s78.75
on earnings at this rate, but there
would be no l per cent yearly in
crease.
At present, if a beneficiary works
to add to his small income he. is
deemed not to have retired If he
makes as much as SIS a month
and he is deprived of his monthly
check. It is proposed to raise that

books. But the government said it
would be necessary to revise all
school books. Now, Education Min
lister Gyuala Ortutay's censorship
division has purposely delayed their
delivery for such a. time that the
shortage Of textbooks on every sub
ject has become general. Is the
church to be blamed for that?
There is no diplomatic represent
ative of the Vatican in Hungary any
longer. There is no longer a single
Catholic daily in the country. There
are II major daily newspapers in
Budapest and 4S in the provinces.
Just imagine that and then realize
that there are 6S.2 per cent Cath
olics among Budapets population of
!, ,162,800!
The President of the republic
promised to allow us to print one
daily paper. We never received any
newsprint ALLEGATION. OF the 81 po-
litical weeklies, there is only one
Catholic weekly. In addition, we
have exactly one purely religious
weekly. Yet both our political and
religious weeklies are subject to the
most rigid censorship. Very often
Communist compositors and print
ers refuse to handle certain of our
articles. We have no presses of our
own. So. to all intents and pur-
poses, we are subject to a double
censorship.
Spies Take Down Sermons
All sermons are taken down in
shorthand by Communist spies.
Even with the Russian occupation
forces long departed, village priests
are still frequently arrested. Educa-
ton Minister Ortutay, who is also
in charge of religious affairs, has
never even tried to deny the arrests.
Nor did he deny that vital newsprint
was withheld from us.
AS if to remove doubts about the
Communist Party's good intentions,
Ortutay is paying the nationalized
bishops a cabinet minister's salary
He also had the Budapest Catholic
Basilica repaired at state expense
on the initiative Of Mattyas Rakosi
secretary general of the Communist
Party.
But, as against these outward
signs, our work is being hampered
and destroyed. We continue to re-
sist. And we raise our voice to be
heard in a free world-west Of the
iron curtain.

a radical poet and writer for leftist

Our Answer to Reds
Accusation Of
Imperialism
By Edword TomIinson

Government in Puerto Rico today
is our. answer to Communist and
other extremist charges of Yankee
imperialism in the Western Hemi-
sphere. This island of nearly two
million. people not only enjoys more
autonomy than any Territory of the
United States, but more real free
dom than any other island or coun-
try i'll the Caribbean. 1t is an elo-
quent example of the fact that
given intelligent leadership, free from
interference by arbitrary military
cliques and ambitious strong men
Spanish Americans are eminently
capable of maintaining self gov
ernment and progressing under it
Today the Puerto Rican people
inaugurate Luis Munoz Marin as
their first elected native Governor
The islands new chief executive was
chosen in contest that was as
democratic and peaceful as a guber-
material campaign in Maryland
Missouri or California. Some OBJ
servers say it was even more So
Election day produced only one
casualty on the entire island, and
that when lightning felled voter at
a rural polling place. Eighty per
cent of all the eligible voters, men
and women. went to the polls and
cast their ballots.
Eager for U. S. Capital
Extreme nationalism has become
the all-consuming passion of many
politicians and officials from Mexico
to Argentina. In Brazil and Colom-
bia. in Peru and Argentina, fences
and walls are covered with national
istic slogans and veiled warnings to
the Yankees. such as, The oil is
ours or I'VE can develop our own
resources, or mo more foreign
monopolies." Although most of this
is the direct result of Communist
propaganda. responsible leaders,
both in and out of government, do
little or nothing to counteract 1t.
Many designing army officers and
military juntas even cater to it, for
the resulting disunity serves their
ends, eventual seizure Of power.
But in Puerto Rico officials and
politicians are out to WOO Yankee
capital, industries and factories
from New England and New York,
from Detroit and Chicago. They
not only WOO it, but attempt to
sweep it off its feet and set it down
in Puerto Rico. They hold out every
kind of tempting inducement.
Any manufacturer who will come
to Puerto Rico, set up shop, employ
Puerto Ricans and pay reasonable
wages will be free of all taxes for
II years. Puerto Rican banks will
help him to finance his machinery
and equipment. The insular gov
ernment Win even erect factory
buildings and other facilities and
rent them to him for a nominal
sum. Almost everything is being
done to create work and produc-
ton for Puerto Rico and its peo-
pie. AS one island Senator put it,
I'VE know our people can't eat
slogans or exist by hating foreign
ers and Yankees. Besides" he add
ed, I'VE are United States citizens"
The man who conceived and
sponsors many of these ideas and
policies is the most interesting per-
sonality in the entire West Indies
