we could hear the Brooklyn
accented voice of Coach Jerry
Bush shouting instructions to
first one and then another of his
basketball players.
1t was then we realized the
Rockets would soon be opening
their 29-game cage campaign.
A campaign which includes
some of the toughest basketball
teams in the nation.
The locals open the 1850 sea-
son next Friday night in Akron
against the Goodyears of that
city and close three months
later with John Carroll in the
field house. In between this
time such talented and we'll
known quintets as Michigan,
Illinois, Denver, Niagara, East
ern Kentucky, San Francisco,
Bowling Green and Villanova
will be in action against the
Bushmen.
The team itself is power
laden although somewhat shy
of reserves. Leading the club
this year are Co-Captains Carlo
Muzi and Bill Walker, who are
almost midgets in big time cage
circles but more than capable
of holding their own against
any type of competition.
Walker is one of the nations
top set-shot artists and a ter
rifle ball-handler. He is also the
lad who fires up the team when
it begins to lag.
Muzi is a standout on defense
and has a great one-handeo
push shot. They are the only
two seniors on the team.
Expected to round out the
rest of the first team are juniors
Bob Mcdonald and Phil Morton
and sophomore Jack Feeman
Mcdonald, regular last year
is wizard on getting rebounds
an despecially adept on getting
loose under the oppone t
basket.
Morton, 6-foot, 6-inch lac
from Rochester, N. Y, ha:
shown marked improvement
this year and will probably bt
switched to center. He was
guard last season.
Much has been written about
: the fabulous Feeman, and all o.
it is true. He is the young mar
expected to add the spark Whicf
will make a good team a grea
team. He is a fine ball-handler
"a god defensive player, mar
velous passer and has a variet,
of shots.
Others who will probably SCI
much action are Charlie Moore
Harry Nicholson, Willie Russell
Ralph Carroll, Doug Dietrici
and Joe TubiOlo.

Two Lynched In 1850

There were two ~lynchings in the United States during
1850 according to the annual report OF Iuskegee institute,
one of the best known Negro schools in America. The schooi
sas founded by Booker T. Washington in 1861 at 1uskegee'
Alabama.
One of the two lynching victims in 1850 was a 39-year-
old white man of Pell City, st. Clair County, Alabama. he
was a rolling store operator, Charlie Hurst. Hurst was NOR
sally wounded on February 22nd in his front yard by a group
of nnmasked men. His 19-year-old son who tried to come to
his assistance was also wounded.
A white man in st. Clair County, Alabama, has been
given a 5-year prison sentence for his part In the Charlie
Hurst Staying.
The other victim of mob rule was Jack Walker, alias
Jack Kendall, a 40-year-old Negro laborer of near Gay Meri-
wether County, Georgia. His body was found on August 18th
IN a creek near the Flint river by a group of fishermen. He
had been shot to death repeatedly by a group of men for.
whom he worked supposedly he knew too much about the
illegal whiskey traffic.
In Meriwether County, Georgia, three white men enter
ed pleas OF guilty In connection with the death of the above
Negro. Two OF them were given life sentences in prison and
one of them drew from three to five years in prison.
This record of two ~lynchings in 1850 compares with
three in 1949, two in 1913, one in 1947 and six in 1916.
This is a far cry from 1915 when there were so lynchings
IN the south alone, nine of them in Mississippi.
1t shows that in spite of what other nations NAV think
OF Americans we are gradually becoming civilized.

Firms Interested In
Defense Contracts
May Contact MEG

Persons or firms wanting to
know what the government plans
to award in the way of defense
contracts, and how to go about
bidding on such contracts can Sc
cure the information from the
Mississippi Economic Council, the
MEC's manufacturing committee,
reports.
The MEG is now mailing a num-
Der of interested firms and indi-
viduals a daily report listing spe-
cific contracts to be let and dates
on which they r to be awarded.
Others desiring to get on the list
may try out the service by send
ing a months supply of self-ad-
dressed envelopes to the Councils
headquarters, box 1901, Jackson.
In addition to the daily report
on contracts to be awarded, the
MEG each week sends out a list
of the contracts already awarded,
listing the successful bidders. This
summary is of special interest to
sub-contractors, and other busin-
ess men who desire to service
firms receiving contracts. Each
week several Mississippi firms re-
ceive defense work, the Council
stated.
I'VE would like to emphasize
that this information is free" w.
E. Taylor, chairman of the M. E.
C.'s manufacturing committee,
said. "The only charge is the self
addressed envelopes sent to Coun-
Gil headquarters"
The MEG. has been designated
by the u. S. Department of Com
merce as a statewide cooperative
agency to distribute information

Artificial Breeding
Shows Good Results
In Livestock Shows

In five Mississippi fall livestock
shows, 26 per cent of the blue rib
bons were won by a~rtificially sired
animals, according to A. L. Nc
Laughlin, associate Extension
dairyman.
This is even more remarkable
when you realize that only Is ar
tifically sired animals over two
years old were shown" he de-
clared.
BY artificial breeding, all dairy
men. whether they have one COW
or fifty, can use the best bulls
available, he said.
However, artificial breeding
alone is not enough to insure top
quality animals, he reminded
After the calf is dropped, the job
has just begun. The animal must
be raised, developed, and trained
to show to the best advantage the
good qualities bred into her"
Living proof of the value Of
artificial dissemination is shown by
the number of blue ribbon, artifi-
cially sired animals shown at both
local and national dairy shows,
Mr.. Mclaughlin said, emphasizing
to All Club members that the JOY
of showing a blue ribbon winner
is multiplied when the animal is
home bred.
"Any way you look at it, it paw.
to get the best breeding possible
in the future herd" he said. "Use
of the artificial breeding program
will give you this good breedins

American Legion Gives
Support To March
OF Dimes Campaign

Ralph M. Goodwin, department
commander of the American Lee
glon, has pledged full support OF
his organization to the 1851 March
of Dimes scheduled January 1881.
In a letter to DR.. Felix j. I'm
derwood, State Health Officer.
Commander Goodwin said:
"As titular head of the Ameri-
can Legion of Mississippi, l am
pleased to be able to exercise
some thirty-odd thousand voices
in unison when / endorse the 1851
March of Dimes campaign"
At the annual State Conven-
ton of the American Legion held
in Jackson last July, a resolution
was adopted pledging the Ameri
can Legion membership indivi
dually and collectively to full sup
port of the National Foundation
annual March of Dimes campaign.
We of the Legion hold a deep
continuing concern for the we'll
being of III nation and, particul-
arly, for our children" Command
er Goodwin continued. 1T, there
fore, follows that we are most
grateful for the work which the
Foundation is SO splendidly ac-
complishing daily both in the
areas of research and treatment
of the malady which it seeks to
eradicate. 1t strikes me as being
highly significant that the Foun-
dation conducts activities through
out the year, yet asks such modest
support during the brief period of
a few days.
I'm this straightforward, Ameri-
can way of doing vital and neces-
sary things, the Foundation has
the encouragement, support and
deep gratitude of every Mississip-
pi Legionnaire."

Behind The Scenes
In American Business
by Reynolds Knight

Is the end of farm subsidies in
sight? This stronghold of pressure
economics is beginning to crack a
little but it cannot be concluded
that the whole system of price
supports will collapse.
1t may be a little inconsistent
for the government to be sponsor
ing price supports on one econ
omic front while cracking down
on prices elsewhere, but consisten-
cy has little to do with it. Sup
port for farm prices has long been
fundamental in the credos of both
parties.
True, price support for eggs will
he discontinued after December
81, and the potato program, which
resulted in the Commodity Credit
Corporation buying $500 million
of the l949 crop, and $500 million
over a seven year period, practi-
cally collapsed of its own weight.
These may be straws in the wind.
The proponents of price supports
are embarrassed but are not yet
ready to abandon farm subsidies
altogether. Some prices are suf-
ficiently above the support levels
to make the matter academic at
the moment, but the governments
loss of nearly $64 million dollars
on its price support program in the
first four months of the present
fiscal year is bringing some de-
mands for abandonment of this
costly venture. Best guesses are
it will take years for sentiment to
swing completely away from sup
ports.
BEAUTY AND EMERGENCY
Alert manufacturers of cosmetics
and beauty aids e the national
emergency creating new merchan-
dising trends for their products.
Higher living costs and higher
taxes have already made the av-
erage American woman more bud
get-conscious than ever before. AT
the same time, some 1880, 000
women are already at work, and
the total may soon exceed the
all-time record of 20,400, 900 set at
the war production peak of 1941.
This combination of factors is
seen as a tremendous merchan-
dising potential" by Martin l..
Straus, who during the last quar-
ter of 1850 introduced Tintair, the
first hair coloring manufactured
exclusively for home use. Here
tofore, most hair color prepare
tons had been sold in beauty par
Tors but Tintair transferred a sub
stantial percentage of this busin-
ess to drug and department stores,
and that total is steadily increas-

home hair coloring and home per-
manent waves, manufacturers see

MOVIE MAKER EXTRAOR-

which many a civilian industry

been a striking demonstration OF

industrialist-movie maker. Hughes
has announced that RKO, which
he controls, has a program to
make 80 top-budget feature films,
ten of them in color. This dra-
matte announcement is the more
remarkable since it comes at a
time when many bigwigs are con-
cerned about the growth of tele-
vision and real or imagined jit-
tiers from other causes.
Three-fourths of the Hughes
features are already completed,
the remainder being before the
camera or in preparation. Influ
entail Film Daily hailed the move
for its confidence and resolu-
ton, qualities which far too
many in this industry of ours seem
to find elusive" Hughes RKO

Giannini Is.0rdered
To Call OFF Deal for
Banks or Go 10 Jail
By the Assoeiaied Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July IL
The president of the worlds big
gest bank is under court order to
restore % banks acquired in an
S18 million deal within 80 days-or
go to Jail thereafter until he does.
The order, issued yesterday
against L. M. Giannini, president
of the Bank of America, also ap-
plies to Sam H. Husbands, presi-
dent of the Transamerica Corp,
a bank holding institution.
But both said they intended to
seek a review before the Supreme
Court. Actions are pending to
have the 30-day period stayed
until the Supreme Court can act.
The Ninth United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals issued the
order against Mr.. Giannini and
Mr.. Husbands in holding them
and their institutions guilty of
civil contempt of court.
The Bank of America acquired
the % California banks in a deal
approved by Transamerica. the
controlling stockholder of the
banks. But j. Leonard Townsend,
counsel for the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System,
has hearings in progress against
Transamerica.
These seek to determine if
Transamerica and the Bank OF
America are one and the same and
whether Transamerica tends to-
ward a monopoly.
Mr.. Townsend obtained an order
restraining the deal, saying it in
terferred- with the boards juris-
diction in the monopoly hearings
When the Bank of America went
ahead and opened the % banks
as its branches, Mr.. Townsend OBJ
tanned the contempt action.
