Korean Situation At A Glance -.--
Wednesday. July 5. 1850 (By The Associated PreSS)

communist troops duu CdIlhS trapped an American infantry po- sition in the Korean fighting to- day and pushed mass offensive drive southward from captured Suwon apparently aimed at lop- ping off the whole Suwon-Ichon sector.
 The spearhead of the communist push reached the area of Isan, Il miles south of Suwon, it seemed designed to open the way for a drive on Taejon, military center 73 miles south of Euwon.
 The Communist tank thrust, coming after an engagement with American artillery units which cost the Reds tanks, blocked off the escape route for an undisclos- ed number of CTS in the advance infantry position. The North Ko- rean Reds, meanwhile, poured re- Inducements into the blazing bat tie area while U. s. arms and men flowed in a steady stream from Japan by sea and air.
 While the Communist war blazed, diplomats worried over the next Communist move. Ob- servers in Hong Kong predicted the Soviet Union is setting the stage for another surprise blow in the east against the U. s. These observers said it could be expect ed that within the next month the Chinese Communists would rush troops from Manchuria to support North Korea in its war against the South.
 This tied in with London spec ulation that Soviet foreign min ister Andrew Gishinsky, appar- ently missing from the Moscow scene since May IS, might be in China-or even in North Korea planning the next Soviet blow against the Allies in the Orient.
 Chinese Nationalists, alarmed over their governments ban on offensive action against the Chi nese Communist mainland, were assured by the government this would not mean passive resistance to any Red aggression against their island bastion of Formosa.
 The air war ragged in Korea, with American and British carrier planes joining the fray in tough strikes Monday and Tuesday against North Korean points, in cluding the capital, Pyongyang.
 But the setback on the fighting front had the Americans anxious. The situation of the trapped Americans was reported "desper- ate," but some hope was held out. An undisclosed number of South Koreans were also caught.
 An advanced American head quarters spokesman said there was a chance the Americans could a chance the Americans could punch their way out of the Com munist pocket and make safe withdrawal. The Americans, set ting up a position south of Red captured Suwon, had met a Red spearhead of eight tanks with ar tilltry fire in which two com munist tanks were knocked out.
 Front dispatches said the sur- viving Red tanks wheeled sud- denly and rammed themselves be- tween the infantry position and

u. 5. SUPREME COURT IS ASKED TO Lend
INTERVENTION IN VIRGINIA RAPE CASE

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA)
is the death penalty in cases
of rape upon white women re-
served in Virginia exclusively for
colored men?
The United States Supreme
Court is asked to answer that
question in petition for review
of the case of seven Martinsville
(Virginia0 youths, who are in the
State Penitentiary at Richmond
under sentence of death.
The petition was filed last Sat-
urday. This is the second time
the high court has been asked to
review the case. The court on
June 5 declined to review the
judgement of the Virginia Su7
preme Court of Appeals affirming
the convictions.
wExecutions of the men were to
take place on July %, but two
days before Martin A. Martin,
chief defense counsel, filed pet
itionS for WritS of habeaS corpus
in the Richmonds Hustins Court,
Part II, alleging that the sentences
of death imposed upon the men
denied to them the equal pro-
lection of the laws guaranteed by
the Fourteenth Amendment.
w. Frank Smyth, Jr., superin-
intendent of the Virginia State
Penitentiary, was directed to shaw
cause why the writs should not
be granted. After a hearing the
court denied the Writs, and the
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
declined to review that decision.
Attorney for the condemned
men are now asking the United
States Supreme Court to decide
the question of whether the death
sentences given the seven men for
rape violates the Fourteenth
amendment in that no white man
has ever been convicted of it, and
numerous colored men have been
executed.
Mr.. Martin, who came to Wash
ington las Saturday to file person
ally the petition for review in
the Supreme Court, said he has
been unable to find where any
court has ever passed on SINH
lar question.
The petition points out that Vir-
ginia had antebellub statutes fix
ing greater penalties for colored
persons than for whites. Since the

Junior Police

Seven hundred junior traffic
policemen were guests of the
Phoenix Police Department and
the State Fair Commission last
week. Lunches prepared in the
kitchen at the Police Compound,
and cold drinks were served at
the Fairgrounds. These junior
traffic patrolmen are to be COM
mended for their excellent CO.
operation with the City Police
Department in the school safety
program.
~~~~~>~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~>~~~~S~~s~~e~~~
Civil War, the petition states, Vir-
ginia law has not required such
distinctions but has authorized and
permitted them.
Virginia courts and purieS the
petition alleges, have consistently
sentenced colored men convicted
of rape on white women to differ
ent and greater punishment than
white men.

If you didn't see it, you certain

I am referring to the Royalettes
Fashion Parade of 1850 at the
Phoenix Union High School last
Saturday night. Fifteen lovely
models displayed the last word in
style and color. 1t is regrettable
that the show didn't receive the
support it deserved and frankly,
we need to be exposed to enter
tainment of this high calibre more
often.
The models in the order in
which they appeared were Miss
Flora Mae Jordan who showed the
ultimate in teen-age fashions,
Lucille Dickey, Goldie Hart, "Tiny'
Rosser, Josephine Smith, Erma
Bowen, Dorothy Williams, Eva
Smith, Hazel Williams, Madge
Oliver, Eleanor Ragsdale, Ludea
Johnson, Levi Williams oman
about town.; Milton Lewis Chat
debonair gentleman and the fas-
cinating Marva Louis Spaulding,
guest artist. At each entrance
Marva brought a gasp from the
audience with her startling crea-
tions. It is easy to see why she
is such a successful model because
she is vivacious, has a vibrant per-
sonality and her timing is perfect.
And our local models were well
poised and graceful too. I would
never stick my neck out to give
either one an edge over the other
they were all superb!
Incidental music was played on
the organ by Mrs. Charlesetta
Banks and piano by Mrs. Rachel
Ward. During the intermission,
Mrs. Eva Smith accompanied little
Maxine Johnson who sang "Boun-
Gin Ball Boogie" (and how she
sang IT'D and that popular School
Days." A new touch was added by
the dancing of Jacqueline Harvey
who gave an interesting interpre-
tation of a Siamese dance. The set
was designed by Mr.. Eugene Grigs-
by, art instructor at Carver High
School. Mrs. Louis Jordan, club
sponsor and Mrs. Mozell Mack al
ternated as commentators.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Burns of 113O
East Jefferson ST., had a little
"get together" party last Sunday
from about four pm. until mid
night. The Burns usually do this
each year about this time. Whist,
canasta and bid whist were played.

KOREA and the VIRGIN ISLANDS

a@ 0A1 uu1 I6 V4RA1AN 1oLANDO
KOREA IS a long distance from the Virgin Islands, but
what is happening there may, sooner than we think, greatly
affect US here. It is not only because we are part Of the United
States and, therefore, involved, whether we wish it or not,
with everything our Mother Country does. Or what is done
to her. 1t is even closer than that due to our great dependence
on the outside for 50 many Of the things that keep us going.
EVERYONE, FROM the President down, has declared
that there is no need for alarm, that our retreats are only In
cidentalsto the final outcome of the Korean situation. Never
theless, New York banks are currently meeting to plan. on a
decentralization of their records day by day, in order that all
shall not be lost in the event of an atomic attack on the Big
City. Elsewhere, American shoppers are demonstrating that
they fear the worst and are buying all they can get at almost
any price asked.
WHEN SUCH extreme groups show concern, it is time
for us to start thinking on how we shall weather any hard
ships, if the U.S.A. is 50 hard pressed that ships and air
planes cannot bring in merchandise regularly; if there is not
the foodstuff to bring in, or if the Nation must so trim its
spending that it can only give the Virgin Islands the crumbs
that fall from the table. On the other hand, how shall ne be
able to make a contribution to the United States, through our
labor, from our fields, through our harbors, through our fight
ing men,etc.
HI VIRGIN STANDS are not too small to make a con-
Hibution to our country, to the United Nations, and to the
cause of world peace and order. Neither is it too small to
suffer.
BOTH LAY citizens and government should get their
heads together now and not wait for extreme crisis. If it may
be wise to start Victory Gardens and raise more of our own
~fOodstuff, we should not wait until every grain is used up. 1t
takes time to grow food Perhaps. we should also plan on a
canning project where we can preserve and conserve what we
cannot eat right away. In World War I there was a slogan,
Eat What You Can and What You Can't Eat, Can"
NO N CAN tell what we will be. driven to; not even
the President Of the U. S. is sure how far the Korean police
actor. may spread. If we don't do some planning, and move
