Two Americans
 Slain In West Java

JAKARTA, U. s. I. (P)-A Yale professor and an American cor respondent were slain yesterday in West Java-the apparent vic timS of a murderous gang whose motives could not be determined.
 The two were Prof. Raymond Kennedy, 43, of Yale University, a noted sociologist known to his students as "Jungle Jim" because of his urge to explore remote places, and Robert Doyle, 30, na- tive of Chicago, who worked for Time and Life Magazines out of Hong Kong.
 A spokesman for the American embassy said the two were killed on a paved highway near Tomo. This is in a beautiful mountainous area where fanatical guerrilla bands were active during the Dutch warfare. There was an indication the bodies may have been mutilated.
 The road has been considered safe for daytime travel in recent months but most foreigners do not venture along it at night. The road winds through tea and rub Der estates and rice paddles thick ly populated with natives.
 The two left Jakarta Wednes- day for Jogjakarta, capital of the Indonesian Republic. They spent the night along the road and had hoped to make Jogjakarta by last night.
 There was no official account of what happened.
 Col. Karl Hisgen, an American observer, got the first report of the killings from the British U. N. military observer stationed at Bandoeng, It. Col. F. Day.
 Radio Jakarta, quoting its Ban- doeng. correspondent, broadcast this version of the killing:
 Kennedy and Doyle were stop ped in their jeep Thursday noon by a gang of four or five men in uniform. They were taken to a clearing in the forest and were shot. Villagers were forced to bury them. Then the gang made the getaway toward Cheribon in a sedan they stopped on the road at about the same time.
 The villagers reported the shooting to Indonesian army units in the area and the bodies were exhumed.

The Million-aires
Were Really Great

The popularity of the Million
Aires, a quartette, who appeared
here in concert on their first ma
tionwide personal appearance tour
was "cinched" after a receptive
audience heard their unique style
of singing at the Booker T. Wash
ington School Monday night. A
fifth member, the piano accompan-
iSt, assisted.
Booked as the Coleman Broth
rs-Million-Aires," their rendition
included spirituals, folk songs, and
ballads.
Their presentation of these songs
was undoubtedly the most unusual
and unlike any group to sing here
in many months.
The Million-Aires were presented
under the auspices of Wesley Meth
odist Church.

State Anti-Lynch
Law Proposed In Ga.

A State anti-lynching bill. which
would provide payments to lynch
victims or their survivors, was in
troduced in the Georgia Legislature
last week.
The sponsors of the measure are
Representatives Hammond Johnson,
Jr., of Hall county, and Pierre Ho-
ward of Dekalb county. Johnson
said the bill is designed to forestall
passage of the proposed federal
anti-lynch law.
The measure would provide for
a $4,000 payment to the victims
family, the state and county each
putting up half. If the victim were
only injured, he would be reim-
bursed for the actual injury or
damage-up to $4,000.
Awards to the victims family
would be in addition to the punish
ment already provided for men,
bers of a mob.

Walter WincheII Pleads For Live
or Condemned California Prisoner

used only seven times. Of these
seven, five involved Negroes, one a
Mexican, and one Portuguese
American.
The courts have finally passed on
Wells case. Action by Governor
Earl Warren is the only hope of
saving his life.
Many people, these days, express
nice sentiments against diScrimina-
ton directed at minority groups,
and for equal treatment regardless
of race, creed or color. But expe-
rience shows that discrimination
especially where courts and prisons
are involved-does not label or ad-
nit itself as such. It must be rec
ognized in its deadly, concealed
forms, as in this case.
If Wells dies because he was born
black and not white, anyone who
had not acted to help save his life
has lost the right to claim that he
opposes discrimination based on
race, creed or color.
The Civil Rights Congress has
been asked by Wells to help him.
We are doing what we can. The
San Francisco Ministerial Associa-
ton is doing likewise. We in turn
ask you to do what you can.
What is needed is for this story
to be told to the people, and the
people to write, wire or phone Gov
ernor Earl Warren, Sacramento,
California, to save Wells life.
William L. Patterson
Executive Secretary
Civil Rights Congress
Arizona sun., 1950-01-27

Walter inchell, in his last Sun
day nights nationwide broadcast,
sent out a fervent plea to Governor
Warren of California to spare the
life of condemned Negro prisoner.
Mr.. Winchell stated to the gov
ernor-in as much as the con-
demned man had not taken a life,
he did not owe his life to the state.
And asked in the name of human
ity that the prisoners sentence be
reduced to life in prisonment.
A letter to the Sun received this
week from Williams L. Patterson,
executive secretary of the Civil
Rights Congress concerning the
case, reads as follows:
Dear Editor:
On January 9th Wesley Wells
will be executed by the State of
California because he is a Negro.
Being a Negro is obviously not the
charge against him, but any hon.
est examination of the facts shows
that if he were not a Negro he
would not be facing execution.
Wells received the death penalty
despite the fact that he did not kill
anyone, or participate in the killing
of anyone. The charge against him
is that, while serving life SEN
tence in prison, he committed phys
ical violence against prison guard.
AS a matter of fact, Wells was
not serving a life sentence at the
time. The state board which fixes
prison terms had not yet fixed his
term, and under a very technical
rule of law he was considered a
life termer.
The incident occurred when
Wells, in state of hysteria, threw
cuspidor which hit a guard. 1t
is clear that at the time this oc-
CURED Wells was "stir crazy" This
means, according to the prison doc
tor and psychiatrist, that Wells,
because of his persecution as Ne
gro, plus many years in prison, had
an abnormal fear for his personal
safety. Jim Crow and prison terror
had gotten him. The prison doctor
was prepared to testify at his trial
that he was not responsible, as a
normal person would be for such
acts. Two days before the GUS
pidor-throwing incident, the prison
doctor and prisoti psychiatrist rec
commended special treatment for
Wells.
Yet in the trial of Wells, the
Judge refused to permit the prison
doctor to testify. Had he done so,
as members of the jury have ad-
mitted, Wells would not have been
convicted.
All seven members of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court agreed that
the medical officer of the prison
should have been permitted to tes-
tify. But, by some strange, warped
reasoning, four of them "a major
ity and therefore decisive of the
caSe) said that Wells should die
nonetheless. The other three judges
rendered a strong dissent. So
Wells Is to die though all seven
judges admit that he was denied
the right to present almost-con-
elusive medical testimony.
The law under which Wells is
being railroaded to death has been
