Two Dayton attorneys employ
ed to handle two important trials
involving racial issues would
rather not, according to their
statements given this reporter in
an interview to the Daily Express.
One of them is I. L. Jacobson,
prominent lawyer with a large
number of Negro clients on the
west side, who will handle the de-
tense of the Four Aces Cafe, I'LL
w. Third street. Charged by the
N. A. A. C. P. of brutally and
forceably ejecting four members
of the National Youth Council
from their cafe on. the night of
November II when they asked for
service. They are charged with
violation of the Civil Rights laws
and assault and battery. The trial
will get on it's way next Thurs
day in the Municipal Court before
Chief Justice Paul Sherer after
several delays. jacobson told this
reporter, 81 don't relish this trial
at all since there is a racial issue
involved". "You see I am of Jew
ism origin and have great respect
for the minority groups. Glow
ever, I have relatives in the own
ership of the Four Aces and there
fore | am forced to be on the
side of the legal battle against
the N. A. A. C. P" "As you know

will hold it against me in this
trial in the defense of the Four
Aces against the N. A. A. c. P.
| hope they will understand that
| am only acting in the capacity
of an attorney and in my profess
sion as their attorney and without
any personal feeling toward the
Colored people or the N. A. A. c.
P. who are the plaintiffs in this
case.
Another attorney, Arthur Eaton,
who is defending jimmie Barrett,
18, of 2400 N. Dixie Drive,
charged with assault and battery
on Willie Dan Williams 10, of All
Benton street, along with two
former patrolmen also charged
with the brutal beating Of the
complainant under the Herman
venue bridge on the night of
Jue 27. Eaton is defending both
cases which are being tried sep
arately. One on September 1, and
the other on September 10. Eaton
like Jacobson told this reporter he
too felt his colored clients of the
west side might take the wrong
attitude in his defense of the de-
PENDANTS in the assault case, but
that he hoped they would look at
it from the professional side and
not a feeling of racial bias.

Louis is seriously planning to
come out of retirement. l would
rather see a group of public
spirited citizens raise the cash
necessary to pay Joe's income tax
obligations. Let me hear someone

Joe is a legend today. He did
more for a sport that was = and

you could shake a stick at. 1t is
no secret that there are more
"fixed" fights in boxing than there

LADA News And Views
by Gene Thurmun

This writer finds it interesting
to note the remarks of various
FARMERS over the county. From
those who have depended upon
cotton, and more especially in the
hill section there comes a tone of
regret and remorse.
By far and large the cotton
farmers r economically crippled
to the extent that it will take
more than good crop to put
them back or an even keel finan-
cially.
It's bad business for a man to
work a whole year and invest mo-
ney in his work and come up in
the fall with no pay day. This
writer without any equivocation
goes on record here and now to
say that there is a cure or a re-
medy for this situation. That re-
medy is balanced farming.
I would like to cite one of the
best examples of this in Mr.. R. C..
Spencer's farm near Coxburg.
Mr.. Spencer recently made the
statement to me while / was max
ing a routine visit to his farm,
that these expensive, make moth
ing cotton crops would break him
up if it wasn't for the fact that
he had other marketable pro-
ducts from his farm to counter
balance his cotton. For instance,
he walked to the back of his house
! and there was a 5000 capacity
broiler house, full of broilers. Mr..
Spencer grows these birds at a
comfortable profit which comes
in every three months.
On another side Mr.. Spencer be-
gan calling hogs. Near half a hum
dred of all sizes and ages came at
their masters call and showed
promises of being able to consume
part of an easy 1000 bushels of 100
bushel acre corn being produced
by Mr.. Spencer.
His easy money though, is in his
cattle. Common cows with white
faced calves Craze native lespede-
"a and bermuda grass, that cost
very little to produce. A calf crop

Not only Mr. Spencer but others
who follow this safe, balanced

livestock a permanent fixture on
your farm.
