Accident Victim
Mingo pee Vice.
Johnson Killed
Here Monday Night

JACKSON, Mingo John
son, 23-year-old Negro youth Of
124 West Oakley Street, was shot
and killed here Monday night.
Charged with investigation of
murder by city police today was
Milton Jones Steen, Negro of 149
East Davis, who dramatically ran
crying and drunk to Police Of
ficer Ainsworth and told of shoot
ing his best friend accidentally"
Eye-witnesses to the shooting
said Mingo Johnson, his girl
friend, Clara Lou Stevens, and an
other couple, Johnnie Lee and
Beatrice Gage, drove to the High
way 40 night spot about midnight
after the. two boys had several
drinks Of whiskey. They danced
for several hours and went out
side to Mingo's car.
Johnnie Lee Cage, %, and his
wife, Beatrice, 21, got into the
back seat of Mingo's car, police
were told. Mingo, Clara, and Mil
ton got on the front seat. The
trio on the front seat then got
out of the car and started back
in the dance hall. Police said
Mingo got pistol out of the
glove compartment of the car. He
gave it to Milton who said he
wanted to shoot the one bullet
in the chamber.
Clara started toward the dance
hall, Mingo followed at some 10
feet distance. Drunken Milton
waved the pistol in the air and
fired. The slug entered Mingo's
head just above the right ear and
made an exit through the left
side of the head just above the
left ear. Mingo dropped to the
ground as blood poured from the
wound.
Clara ran to his side, according
to the account told police, as
crowd of some so persons gath
cred by the bleeding Negro. Clara
tried to pick him up but the spec
tators pulled her away.
Milton ran from out Of the
darkness to Police Officer Aims
worth who was attracted to the
scene. He blurted, II shot my
best friend!" Then he moved
over and leaned against a parked
car and sobbed.
A Peoples ambulance carried
Mingo to the Baptist Hospital
where he died at l:5O am. Mil
ton was there when he died. So
was Clara, who clung to a govern
ment check for $50 which Mingo
had given her several hours earl
ier. She also clutched Mingo's
car keys, until police led her and
Milton, Johnnie Lee and Beatrice
away and took them to police
headquarters
All made statements describing
the shooting. All agreed that it
was an accident-that the two
young Negro men were the best
of friends.

City
My Dear Friend:
In your letter of March 1st, you
asked me to give you my impress
sion of actual combat conditions
my company faced on Two Jima, a.
long with my opinion Of the New
Republic picture, Sands Of Two
Jima", starring John Wayne.
Well, we hit Two at dawn on Fri
day 10, 1945. There were 10000
Marines in the operation which in
cluded Companies of Colored
Troops.
l was in charge of a company
of Specially trained Negro Marines
who had been hand picked for the
operation. When we landed the
Japs threw heavy motar shells in
to us and kid a few yards in
front of me had his head, both
arms and legs blown off. Another
lad got a hole in his stomach the
size of gradefruit. Several others
were injured.
That Jap Motar fire was pure
murder. Personally l was pretty
lucky. On one occasion two of US
were riding toward the front in
Jeep and a sniper shot the other
guy right between the eyes. An
other time / was talking to three
fellows for an hour and when l
finally did leave, a shell hit and
killed all three that's what /
mean about luck
One day, when things were hot,
the then Secretary of the Navy,
James Forestall came on the island
and asked my men some questions.
Later, upon returning to the Ha-
waiian Islands we received a spe-
cial award. Then on November II,
1948, over three years later, re-
ceived a letter from President Tru-
man saying the outfit had been a.
warded the PRESIDENTIAL UNIT
CITATION which is the highest
honor a unit can receive. You can
bet / felt pretty proud.
Yes, Two was terrific action. I've
seen the picture "Sands of Two
Jima" and it's really great =. Just
like actually being on the Island
again.
I understand that John Wayne
has been nominated for the Acade-
my Award for his great perform
ance as "Sgt. Striker" It's great
picture and / think your public
will welcome it.
With kindest personal regards

MONROVIA - The Liberian
workers on the Firestone Rubber
plantation staff have outlined the
grievances which led to the labor
disturbance here recently. The
trouble started originally as long
ago as November %, and was the
result of pent up feeling. Later in
early February it flared up again.
Beginning in the garages the
strike spread rapidly through all
of the main plantations as far as
the big shipping port of Marshall.
The formal statement drawn up
by the workers said according to
unofficial sources:
II. Increase in pay. They con-
tend their salaries are not COM
monsurate with their living re-
quirements: that they were getting
poorer the longer they worked for
Firestone.
II. Monthly pay. They say classi-
fled employees should receive
monthly instead of daily wages un-

public had misgivings. To allay
them, Mr.. Curtin and his cabinet
pledged that there would be no
effort to nationalize industry dur
ing hostilities."
Mr.. Chifley, who succeeded Mr..
Curtin on the latter's death In
1945, was quickly freed of this
pledge. Almost Immediately, Aus
tralians were jolted by the estab-
lishment of Trans-Australian Air
lines, under a commission en-
powered to take over all Australian
air lines.
Elections of 1946
The High Court, Australia's Su-
preme Court, declared this seizure
illegal. but approved the states
operation of it's own line. The
state-owned line now operates in
competition with private lines.
This dispute still was sputtering
when the elections Of 1916 were
held. Naturalization was not an
issue; but Labor ministers, soon
afterward, were asserting that the
party's platform pledge was well
known, and that the election
therefore had approved . program
Of full socialization.
Fairly soon thereafter, startled
Australians found themselves with

part Of the governmental owned

storm would follow. Protest COM
