The Confession Chamber fostering
Sore OF Mississippi And South

In increasing number in Mississippi, and from
the rest of the SOUTH coming to light that re-
veal the evils and brutality of system by which many
Negro victims may have been forced to confess to crime
which they did not commit and for which many have
paid the death penalty, and many others have served,
and are perhaps serving prison terms.
1t is easy to deduce from what has to light in
recent weeks that the practice of subectng Negro
prisoners to the torture of the confession chamber have
allowed many persons guilty of crime to go free, and
that the practice have given the opportunity to
persons of evil purpose to deliberately plan crime to
escape punishment by the enrapment of innocent
Negro in webb of minor circumstances knowing that
the Negro will be forced to confess and condemned by the
evils and torture of the confession chamber.
What is threatened here is the high principal of
American law and judicial procedure which frees an
American Citizen from the effects of confessions obtain
ed under duress which, while being applied only to
helpless and defenseless Negroes accused of crime,
tomorrow may become the instrument with which the
very foundations of society undermined and de-
Stroyed
In fine, the revelations coming from the
fesson chamber in Mississippi and from the rest of the
South disgrace and reflection upon the chrstani
ty, democracy and intelligence of the people of Misss
sppi and the rest of the South
Well founded in American judicial procedure, the
courts of Mississippi quickly get rid of this fostering
by strict adherence to the principle that Ameri
Citizen shall be made to suffer from the effects of
a confession obtained under duress

What S Behind This Offer
(FrOm The Atlanta Daily WOrld)

Joseph Pew Jr, Philadelphia capitalist is so i'm
pressed with the gospel preached in DR.. j. W. Holeys
book entitled "You Can't Build a Chimney From the
Top, that he has to come forward with the unusual
OTTER OF $4,000 to the Georgia Board of Regents that
they may give free copies of the book to selected in
divduals
The book reports say, had had very poor and
limited sale, among white and particularly among color
ed people We think background on the book might be
OF passing interest to readers Dr. Holley deposed
president of Albany State College, started out to write
what he considered evaluation of his work and
achievements head of the college for nearly forty
years He ran into difficulties finding publisher who
wanted to gamble with the chances of selling his works
Around Albany and Southwest Georgia the report is
that friend of the late Governor Eugene Talmadge
persuaded DR.. Hoey to change the title and enlarge
upon the scope OF the book to include discussion
of FEPC and other demands which at that time Negroes
were making and in that way, a publisher could be
found. AS consequence we have the book with it's
present title.
The Regents, of course, very properly rejected Mr.
PeWs offer But if he is sincere about it. there ought
be no strong reason why he could not sponsor the dis
trlbutlon himself All he needs now having the money
already In hand, is to secure the mailing list of many
organizations and agencies of kindred mind But his
best could be realized if he gave this sum to
the National Association for the Advancement of Color
ed People.
But we have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Pew
wants to use his $4,000 for propaganda purposes Many
Northern Capitalists do 1t was done in the campaign
against Senator Claude Pepper in Florida 1t used in
North Carolina against Frank Graham. And we are
told Northern capital helped to finance the Dxecrats
revolt IN 1913 1t is surprising how operate not
against Negroes much against all poor struggling
masses although they give the impression that they
only oppose the advances which Negroes are making

! books on his back and gun on his
shoulder, he treaded the dense THO
kets which is now Broadmoor. Many
mornings DR.. Jones hunted in and
around the area where Morgan Cen
ter is now located, for rabbits and
squirrels with which he paid his
tuition. After returning home from
school in the evenings, DR.. Jones
worked his fathers farm and split
rails until dark. New ground was
cleared, bushes burned and by ten
O'Clock p. M, DR.. Jones was ready
for study by the one brass lamp in
the house; here he studied until the
wee hours of the morning. Never a
well-dressed, exciting person, he
was known as the "Clod Hopper"
Yet, it was he who hoped ahead
for academic honors. He always
won the three dollar oratorical. con-
test offered by DR.. Barrett.
The success of DR.. Jones is due
to the very simplicity of his nature
as a man who gladly gave his life
in service for others through God.
His motto lies in ST. Luke, fifth
chapter, first through the eleventh
verses: "The common man who is
too poor to know a way Of life be-
came his object to support. Let 9th
ers take the credit and give me
greater strength to serve" This is
what DR.. Jones wanted everyone to
know: For. some forty years in his
missionary work, he has never
been sick over one day and for
thirty-six years, he has had no
deaths in his mission. Under the
divine guidance Of DIR. Jones, the
Klag Industrial Mission is now self
supporting-a dream which came
true with the help of God.

youth returning home, after hav-
ing been inspired by the mission
to go abroad for more training to
help their people; and shoulder re-
sponsibilities with the help of God
for the good Of their soul and help
Of mankind"
With these words, DR.. Jones
bowed, with reverence in his heart
and became silent. Then he stood,
walked with great assurance, in
spite of approaching senescence, to
the door and said, II have enjoyed
a wonderful and quiet visit on the
campus. You have been SWELL"

Truman Reiterafes Chdrqe Made April 1t-Sdiis-

WASHINGTON, April 26 --tR--
 President Truman said today it is
 up to Russia whether the war in
 Korea spreads.
 He told a news conference that American foreign policy was out lined in his radio speech to the Ma ton April II.
 i MT. Truman said, too, that he is very well satisfied with Secretary of State Acheson. MT. Truman's April II speech was the one in which he gave the req sons why he said he felt impelled to remove Gen. Douglas Macarthur from his Far Eastern commands. The President said then that Mac ! Arthur wanted to spread the war 1 beyond Korea, but that the Truman administration policy is to seek to confine it there and avoid great war.
 In that speech, MT. Truman also
 said "the Communist side must now
 choose it's course of action" Similarly. MT. Truman told to- days news conference that the
 Communists may act to spread the
 conflict, but that they have the choice of a peaceful settlement. i Acheson is o. K. | MT. Truman's expression of satis- faction with Secretary Acheson r 1 the chief architect of American policy in Korea = came when he
 was asked whether he was consid-
 ering naming Paul Hoffman, former ECA administrator, to replace
 Acheson.
 He said he was not = that he had

 was sounding out Hoffman on tax l ing the cabinet post.

The Issue is Acheson

Now that General Douglas Mac Arthur has had his week and the country has burst it's bounds of anger. and enthusiasm, it becomes clear that politically the quarrel is over Dean Acheson. President Tru- man has indicated beyond doubt that he has confidence in and supports Dean Acheson. The Re- pubiicans will continue their op- position to Dean Acheson and will make such an issue of him that his conduct of the State Department will be before the people from now until after the election of 1852.
 General Douglas MacArthur's dis missal has proved to have been a political errcr on the part of Pres ident Truman. The brusque method did not go with the country. After all, General MacArthur has been in theservice of his country g years and to the public he is g hero. Even those who disagreed with MacArthur's ideas or his con- duct felt that the President might have employed some other method than a disgraceful dismissal.
 A Presidents work. is so arduous, his responsibilities so great that he toe soon becomes a prisoner in the hands of those whom he hires to assist and protect him MT. Tru- man could have been told by his associates that popular opinion has been growing increasingly irritable over the numerous failures of our foreign policy. The country is shocked by our isolation. The ma- chinations of Great Britain have stunned the people.
 I am not discussing whether Dean Acheson or tke British or Herbert Hoover or Senator Wherry is correct; I am trying to apprsise public opinion, and am sure that the enormous mail I have received during the past fortnight is public opinion. For while there is disa- greement and confusion, there is also surprise and shock. India's at titude toward the United States,
