BILOXI, Miss. (ANP)- More
than 800 delegates attended the
18th annual meeting ofthe South
err Sociological society's convent
ion held here last week. Delegates
attnding were from westrn, south

First to blast the inhuman sys-

ceration was Alfred c.. Schur,

charged that present laws govern

others are not kept long enough
The speaker contended for for
from crime, prison inmates should
be released only when it is rea-
sonably certain that they will
make a law abiding adjustment.
In commenting on homicider, it
as argued hat the Negro homi-
eide rate is much higher than that
Of the whites. 1t was pointed out
by Howard Harlan, Birmingham
professor of sociology, Southern
college, that killings were more
frequently committed on males
than females, and occurred mostly
among persons of young adult
years (20-49) than those of other
ages.
Prof. Harlan, addressing a Sec
tional meeting on crime and de-
linquency, said hat murder is
most likely to occur in the CEN
trai business area of the city, the

To Discuss
Proposed Merger

NEW YORK CAMP Future
prospects ola merger to six natl
onal nursing organizations into
one large group will be discussed
by the National Association of
Colored Graduate nurses, Inc,
when they meet this summer in
San Francisco.
Miss Alma Vessels, executive
secretary, and Mrs. Mabel K. Sta
upers, national president of MAC
GIN, will discuss this and other
issues on a tour of various cities
throughout the nation.
The six nursing organizations
have spent 1914, 900 in a three
year study of there merger plans.
Members ofthe NACGN original
| yopposed plans for a complete
merger when Negro nurses in the
South were unable to enter the
American Nurses association be-
cause of bias by local souther
white groups.
Today, a number of nurses in
the NACGN are reported to be
opposing the merger because of
thir desire to hold good positions.
They seemto feel that Negro nur-
SEES would have very little to say
inone big national group.
The ANA already has opened
its membership to all nurses, and
most southern states have drop
ped their restrictions.
On their tour Miss Vessels and
Mrs. Staupers will discuss other
problems pertaining to nurses of
minority groups. For example in
Louisville, they will meet with Of
ficials of the Municipal hospital
School of Nursing, a publicity sup
ported institution, about admittings
Negro nursing students now that
the Day law no longer is in eff
feet. :

LITTLE ROCK CAMP A note
worthy project is being conducted
by the Junior League of Little
Rock among 33 Negro children
ranging images from 3 to Is years
at the Phyllis Wheatley YWCA
here. The project is a speech cor
rection school, which has for it's
purpose to the correction of diff
ficulties in speech due to substi-
tuition of sounds, suffering and
lisping.
The school is a special extern
sion ofthe leagues program which
was launched last month at the
Junior League house. Previously
the group had operated a school
for white children alone, as we'll
as maintaining volunteer staff in
schools to do case work and con
duct hearing tests.
In launching the program for
Negro children the league took 35
cases out of a 100 that needed
immediate attention. Most of the
children with speech difficulties
either substitute sounds Of slut
ter or talk with a lisp. One such
youngster substitutes sounds which
make her seem to be using baby
talk.
For example, she will substi-
tute the go" sound for the normal
9Th" sound, and "w" sound for
app, or the ct" sound for "k".
According to league workers,
the baby talk is not noticeably
awkward when it comes from a
three-year-old but without guild
ance the child will go on talking
that way, primarily because it has
become accustomed to hearing
distorted sounds for the actual
sounds.
The children are taught correct
speech by volunteer instructors
through the playing of games,
dancing or use of color pictures.

VA Plans New Dividend
On GI Insurance in 1851
By the As.eeiatsd Press

The Veterans Administration
said today it plans to start paying
the second dividend on veterans
insurance on January l. 1850. Divi-
dends will be paid as each policy's
anniversary date comes along and
will cover the three year period
since 1948.
The dividend total will probably
not be announced until this De-
cember, but the VA said it will
be far below the $2.8 billion re-
funded this year. The actual divi-
dend rate per $1,000 of insurance
is yet to be determined.
Plans for starting payment in
January, may be disrupted, the
VA said, if it fails to get its full
budget request of $4.8 million for
defraying administrative expenses
of the dividend. It's insurance di-
vision is already overloaded with
about 5000 applications for NSLI
per day now being handled, COM
pared to 1000 per day before the
Korean war began, VA said. The
Budget Bureau, ordered by Con-
gress to trim defense spend
ing, must decide how much to
allow VA for the refund job.

The harvest in the three-State

80 million bushels carried over
from 1949.
"We now have 139 million

Peter Stallcop, managing secretary

can use for feed, seed and human
consumption during the next IL
months is 35 million bushels.

It's beginning to look like we'll

as We were this year. Frankly, !

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. g.
There's no place to store it and
no place to ship it. so farmers in
this rich wheat-producing area
have had to dump more than 81
million bushels out on the ground.
They have had to dump wheat
before but never in piles like the
ones that dot the inland empire
of Eastern Washington, Eastern
Oregon and Northern Idaho to-
day. The biggest before was 5
million bushels in 1916.
The box car shortage, bumper
crops and prices and freight rates
that make it difficult for North
west wheat to compete in the
East and South are regarded as
the big factors in the situation.
The wheat sits out In the wind.

Census Bureau Reports
Increase Of 2,420. 900
Over Same 1o4o Month

Employment hit an all-time
high in August with ga million
persons at work, the Census Bu-
reau reported today.
This figure represents an in
crease of 1.153,00 over the month
before and an increase of 2,420, 900
over August, 1949.
The August employment, which
was for the week ending August
IL, was the first to reflect the i'm
pact of the Korean war on the
economy, the bureau said.
There was a sharp drop in un-
employment to 2.5 million, the
lowest point since the beginning
of 1949 and about 100000 under
July. Nearly all of the decline
was due to additional employment
in non-farm industries.
Non-farm employment was put
at 54.2 million in August. This was
2.8 million above the figure for
August, 1949, and IA million above
the August, 1948. figure.
About half of these additional
workers were drawn from the

Rescue Rushed
For 128 Trapped
In Scot Mine
Teams Work Speedily
To Open Tunnel After
Ruin Causes Cuve-in
BY the Associated Press

NEW CUMNOCK, Scotland,
Sept. 8.-Rescue teams worked at
top speed today to open an es-
cape tunnel for 1913 miners
trapped TOO feet down and threat
ened with drowning in a river of
mud.
There are reasonable hopes
for the trapped men," a mine
workers union official said in
Edinburgh.
The miners were entombed last
night when a rain soaked sur
face area the size of a football
field sank into the workings of
the Knockshinnoch Castle col
liery, 80 miles south of Glasgow.
The sodden earth mass cut off
their path to the exit.
Rescuers tried all night and
through the morning to clear
dangerous gas fumes from an ad-
joining mine tunnel so they could
cut through a 30-foot wall of
coal separating them from their
imprisoned co-workers.
'Tn Good Spirits"
The entombed men were in
telephone communication with
the pit head.
I'VE are in good spirits" one
OF them reported.
None was reported injured and
telephone reports from the men
this morning indicated they were
getting enough air.
The miners were believed to be
together in one room. The mass
of mud clogged most of a tunnel
through which they were getting
air.
They telephoned that there was
a six-inch gap between the mud
and the roof of the tunnel. They
said they were moving coal ana
timber to dam the flow of mud
into their chamber.
Eight miners on the pit shaft
side of the cave-in escaped. One
of them. John Stevenson, Sc,
whose son was trapped. told news
men:
I'VE went along to a turning
about 100 yards from the pit bot
tom and were met by oozing
sludge which came through with
a burst and we had to run for
our lives"
Alan Bell Rung.
Stevenson said they rang an
alarm bell and then got out up
the main shaft.
The cave-in is believed to have
been caused by heavy rain
throughout yesterday.
A colliery official said the en-
tombed miners seemed confident
they would be saved.
On the surface other miners
worked to fill the cave-in with
wood, branches and hay so the
sides of the hole would not COL
lapse.
Relatives of the trapped men
stood around the pithead through
out the night in grim faced, whis-
pering groups.
