She took a long time before
replying. That's all right with

to be rid of him. But I don't
know what you mean by being
mixed up in a murder rap"
She sounded truthful. Shayne
scowled and said, HE told me
you were nuts about him."
She threw her head back and
laughed. That's Grant for you.
Just because he's the boss and
we play up to him"
Shayne got UP. Il want you to

when he saw her. Shayne stepped
between them. You'd better

all about Dinky and the hams
Il only told Dinky I'd buy them

Shut up, Grant," Laura cried.

CHAPTER SIX
The dance floor was crowded
now. Michael Shayne stood out
side Zenro's office and surveyed
the dancers. He recognized some
of the soldiers who had faced hin
in the orderly room. Pvt. Murtry
who had given him the dope or
Laski, was dancing with Laura
Moore. Dave Laski was dancing
with a redhead.
Sergt. Blake came away from
the bar to meet Shayne wher
he strolled into the front room
He said, II was to present Capt
Richards compliments, sir, anc
say all the men are here"
Shayne nodded. He saw Capt
OFT standing inconspicuously al
the front of the bar and he movec
in that direction.
Anything doing?' OFT asked
sharply.
Shayne grinned. I'm tighten
ing a few screws. Something Il
going to snap" He hestitated
"I'm going to talk to the widow
Have Blake round up Murtry. Car
son and Laski. Bring them into
Zenro's Office when 1 go in Win
Mrs. Moore"
The dance was just ending When
he re-entered the rear room. he
went across the floor to Murtry
and Laura Moore who were stand
ing together. He tapped the prl-
vate on the arm and said, Il think
the lady wants to sit this one out.
Pvt. Murtry turned with his
mouth open to expostulate. His
lower Jaw sagged when he recog-
nized the red-headed detective.
Sure" he stammered. sure,
and hastily stepped backward.
Laura was breathing hard and
her eyes were baleful.
Shayne took her arm and guided
her to an empty booth.
Laura demanded. What were
YOU talking to Grant about. and
what'd he call you instead OF Null
rooney?"
"I was talking to zenro about
Dinky's death, and my name

amended harshly.
Some of the color went away

He nodded.

people only that one can become
a communist with the intention of
overthrowing the government, find
himself blocked, and still be pro-

There is in democracy, corrup-

corruption is punished, incompe-

corrected. TIL ese things are
brought to pass because people
themselves are not perfect and
they are the ones who make up

In silent meditation, the entire
audience re-affirmed their faith
in America and the individuality

Field here Saturday afternoon.
The first quarter saw both teams
trying desperately to make touch
down and in the fading moments of
the first quarter, Cecil Mennifield
intercepted a Tougaloo pass on the
80 yard line and ran it back to his
own Is yard line. On three sue
cessive plays the Golden Bears
moved the ball to the A yard line
and big Mennifield went over for
the touchdown. The try for the
extra point failed.
No action of any particular i'm
portance availed in the second half,
the Bulldogs came out on the field
a reJuvinated ball team; but the at
tack of the Golden Bears was too
powerful for the inexperienced
Bulldogs.
In the fourth quarter, the Bull
dogs realizing there was still time
to turn defeat into victory marched
downfield to the Golden Bears 25
yard line and then fumbled the ball.
Miles recovering went to the Bull
dogs 16 yard line and fumbled. Tou-
galoo's ball and first and ten, Perry
carrying the ball was stopped at
the line of scrimmage but attempt
ed to lateral to his center, Leroy
Newman and the ball spurted from
his hands, rolled to the four yard
line where it was picked up by Ma
thanill Evans who went over for
the touchdown. Once again the try
for the extra point failed. This was
the end of the scoring for the after
noon.

Something About Mississippians And
Color In The Korean War

There two magazines published in this country
that nobody dares to charge with having followed the
party line even with belonging to the school of
political thinking being referred to as progressive
conservatism
The two magazines referred too are Life" and
NewsWeek. Whenever there is any matter of concern
to American Public opinion and the welfare of the ma
ton, its Importance be well determined by the at
tcntion given to the subject in Life" and Newswee
In recent editions both publications have pointed
to the existence of Color in the Korean war; and in
American policy In Asia and the East
In a recent edition. in the Periscope, newsweek had
this to say
Support is growing for the proposal that Brig Gen.
Carlos T. Romuo, Philippine foreign secretary join
General MacArthurS headquarters coOrdinatOr of
UN military forces in Korea. Reasons: Cd he was the
last president of the UN General Assembly; (2) he
served with Macarthur in the last war; (3) most i'm
portant, he's an Oriental whose presence might take
the poison out OF Red propaganda that this is white
mans against the coored races.
In support of what NewsWeek has to say it NAV
be well for to point out to Missssppans espe
caly those in places OF power and influence, that Red
propaganda is based also what is happening to the
colored people who here living among and with the
white people in the United States That the coored peo
pie of the world is watching to if the high ideals of
Democracy and justice be- and will be, applied to the
COOred people in the United States.
In spite of the bantant cries about outside nflu-
ence and interference, Mississippi is part of the Ma
ton and other people will Judge the Nation by what is
happening to Coored people in Mississippi.
With the events in Korea and the East as they are
by all MEANS and post hoste, let Brig Gen. Romulo Join
General Macarthur that for the present and future
welfare Of the nation those in the places of and
Influence in Mississippi yet willing to ride any issue
IN order to maintain the status quo of the Negro will
have neither doubt excuse, for not knowing that
there is COLOR' in the Korean war; and that COLOR"
is going to be of the greatest Importance in the future
welfare of the Nation.

An Example For Mississippi Negroes

Up in New York the other day the National Office
announced that Dr. Ralph Bunche, the who brought
Peace to Palestine chairman of the Trusteeshp Divs-
ion OF the United Nations, and easily the worlds most
universally respected and renowned Negro has become
$500 Life Member of the National Association for the
Advancement of Coored People; and at the time
contributed 500 to the NAACP Legal Defense and Edu-
catiOnal Fund.
There old and true saying that people respect
those who respect themselves Everywhere there will be
an increase in the tremendous esteem and respect for
Dr. Bunche in this further evidence of self respect and
respect and concern for the welfare of his race
In most when Negro reaches the top posi-
ton he togets about the plight of the of his peo
pie and starts thinking of only himself and his This is
perhaps, for the most part, the why although
most Negro Professional and businessmen in the state
have been called upon recently that the combined total
of their contribution to the NAACP will not equal what
Dr. Bunche contributed to the legal defense and educa
ona fund To say nothing about it being the equal of
$500 Life membership.
The Negro in Mississippi will give the right kind
of evidence of his self respects, and enjoy a far
greater amount of respect from Others when those a.
mOng him, who others plainly possessed of the
means, start showing more of the spirit of Dr. Ralph
Bunche and follow his example.
