ntate employers who now have a
good labor policy.
The bill declares it to be an
unfair labor practice for an en-
ployer, union or employment

ALABAMA SENATOR
ASKS NATL PROBE
OF RACE PROBLEM

WASHINGTON (ANP) - A
startling proposal that Congress
undertake a nationwide study Of
racial and other discrimination
before adopting any civil rights
legislation was advanced here
last week by a Southern senator.
Such a suggestion is surprising
because southerners usually claim
to know all about Negroes and
the race problem"
The pIoposal was made by Sen.
Sparkman Cd. Ala in a radio in
terview, and is looked upon as a
southern strategem to delay any
move to write civil rights legisla-
ton into law.
The senator said he was draft
ing a resolution calling for a
congressional inquiry with par
ticular attention to the "resolu-
ton between discriminatory prac-
tees and economic conditions in
the north and south" He indicat-
ed he would support any action
necessary to end such practices if
the survey disclosed them.
His proposal was based on the
belief that economic competition
between Negroes and whites in
the south is at the root of racial
difficulties there.
'If we could raise the econ
Omic level OF the south to the
point where this economic COM
petition would be cut down,
then a great part Of the race
problem would disappear.
THE reason the race problem
in the south is particularly acute
is because there are two races
trying to live side by side in a
country where economic op-
portunity has not been sufficient
to give satisfactory support to
BOTH" he added.

GEORGIA JURY
FREES MAN IN
LYNcHING CASE
BY Special Correspondent

LYONS, GA. Despite indict-
ment and strong evidence, an ALL
white jury freed William (Spud)
Howell, 80, one Of the two wool
hat" farmers who were indicted
two weeks ago for the murder Of
Robert Mallard, prosperous Negro
business man.
Mallard, a casket and appliance
salesman, had amassed consider
able property and some Of his
white neighbors are said to have
resented his prosperity. When he
purchased q new auto In early No
vember threats are said to have
been made against him which he
ignored.
On November 10, as he rode
with his wife Amy along a high
way, a robed mob of 20 whites
blocked the road, stopped the
Mallard car and shot him to death
as his widow screamed.
The country was Mortified
and sOutherners who have been
fighting against passage Of fed
erRl anti-lynchlng laws went TO
work 10 attempt 10 bring the
murderers to trial.
Led by the Atlanta Constitu-
tion and assisted by the Associat-
ed Press public sentiment was 80
aroused that Governor Talmage
pressed for action which resulted
in the indictment of two farmers.
Tuesdays trial was consummat-
ed quickly. The jury found the
first defendant not guilty after Is
minutes deliberation. The prose
cutor then moved that the similar
charges against the other man,
Roderick Clifton, be dropped.
Jurors Are "WItnesses"
Two Of the Jurors hearing the
case were permitted to testify to
the good character of Howell, the
defendant. Each Of the Jurors said
they would not believe Mallard's
wife, a local school teacher, under
oath. The prosecutor made no at
tempt to prevent the jurors from
serving as witnesses. He also
made no effort to challenge the
jurors statements.
Mrs. MaIlard made n positive
Identification Of Howell as one
Of the men who shot her hus-
band.
Howell took the stand and as
serted his innocence. He was not
sworn or was he cross-exAmined.
Under Georgia statutes the de-
fendant is not put under oath or
cross-examined.
Mrs. Mallard, the slain mans
widow, has put up a valiant fight
to help bring her husbands muir
derers to justice. She has been
threatened and shortly after the
murder she herself was taken in
to custody as having killed her
husband. So intense was the cri-
tiCism by Georgia's largest news
papers that the county authorities
quickly released her,
She has been repeatedly warned
by letters and phone calls that
her husband was killed because
he was biggety and that II she
pressed the murder case she
would meet a similar fate.
Observers on the scene here say
Tuesdays action will spur efforts
Of even some Of the responsible
southern leaders for a federal
anti-lynch law.
