Attorney John H. Pratt also
introduced the names of about 7C
protesting residents of the area.
Homes Suggested.
Summarizing the opposition, Mr.
Pratt pointed out that the section
is one of the last few open spots
in a restricted neighborhood close
downtown.
He contended that no serious
study apparently had been given
to developing the area in single
family dwellings. despite argu-
ments that single homes were not
practical on the topography.
A year ago, the commission
turned down a proposal by the
owners, Ned Bord, Thornton w
Owen and Edward c. Baltz. te
build apartments on about II
Iacres of the Woodley property.

A plea to ''hold the line" on
Twenty ninth street was before
the District Zoning Commission
today as it faced another decision
on whether apartments should be
allowed to spread to the rolling
grounds adjoining Woodley.
Residents of the exclusive Sec
ton were vigorous in their oppo-
sition at a hearing yesterday or
the proposal to build apartments
on 3 acres west of Twenty-ni
street between the proposed Gar
field street extension and Cleve-
land avenue.
Fear for Property Values.
They saw the plan as an open
ing wedge toward further break
down of the single-family home
restrictions, and as a vehicle fol
depressed property values and
added traffic congestion.

at the hearing included Rear Ad.

Goaiweed Problem

Jim Murray from Thompson Falls
told most interesting story of his
struggle to control a local pest, the
goatweed, which has invaded thou
sands of acres in western Montana,
and all the states further west. This
weed has somewhat poisonous eff
feet upon livestock, but is considered
a bad actor because it takes over
grassland, crowds out all other plants
and weeds and has, itself, no value
as a forage plant. It is not killed by
2,4-D or by chlorate sprays, and is
solidly marching across vast area
of grassland.
In Europe and Australia, there is
a beetle that effectively destroys this
weed and Mr.. Murray has obtained
some of these beetles from California,
where it seems to be really eating
up the goatweed. Last years at
tempts to get the beetle to work here
were only partially successful, but
Murray expects better luck this year.
So far. he has been working single
handed, but now he has the associa-
ton behind him.

Brand Re-recording

Ralph Miracle explained the mag
nitude of the job Of re-recording
nearly $4,000 brands, as 1851 is the
year that this has to be done, and
spoke of the tremendous advantage
of talking to an assembled group of
stockmen, rather than explaining the
same things, by letter, to each of 200
stockmen.
DR.. Wilkins spoke Of the necessity
of organization in controlling live
stock diseases, of the progress there

Increased Production

At the dinner, Bill Burkitt of
Montana State college painted a
vivid picture of the problems that
face the stockgrower in his effort
to feed a steadily increasing popula-
ton. Burkitt pointed out that great
increase in livestock numbers could
not be expected, but that greater
production of food products could be
expected from the present number
of animal units by making use of
newer nutritiona1 and management
methods. He expects, and this /
must see, at least 200 eggs a year
from each hen, so pigs a year from
each sow, and at least four lambs a
year from each eve, and all this
without additional feed or labor

There were some committees that

made and carried, the treasurer was

and from time to time, amendments
were made to the rules Of parliament

feet was of sincerity, Of teamwork,
of effectiveness, and an earnest de
sire to accomplish, through organiza-
ton, the things that no stockman
could hope to accomplish single
handed.

Important As Ny Life Is...

The following is the text of an appeal
for pardon signed by Willie MCGEE, Missis-
sippi Negro worker facing death on May 8,
addressed to Governor Fielding Wright of
Mississippi:
Va II, Willie MCGEE, confined to prison in
jackson, Mississippi under sentence of
death, hereby apply for a pardon in ac-
eordance with my right thereto as provided
by the Constitution Of the State of Missis-
sippi.
II respectfully submit that the pardon
should be granted upon the following
grounds:
Il am SO years old born and brought
up in Laurel, Mississippi, the son of wild

Mrs. Troy Hawkins of Laurel, Missis
sippi, claimed that she had been raped at or
about a o'clock in the morning Of November
2, 1945 by someone whom she was unable
to recognize. I was picked up by the police
and despite my protestation of innocence,
arrested "for the rape of white lady" No
evidence was presented to prove my guilt
except an alleged confession which was not
made of my own free will.
Nov, almost six years have elapsed;
three trials have taken place and Mrs. Haw

raped her. l, as always, insist that / did not

The Boys Who Never Sleep

Since the crest of its influence in the
New Deal thirties, the labor movement has
come to expect, in successfully more reae-
tionary Congresses, subtle and hard-to-ex-
plain anti-labor amendments and riders
to legislation. Thus workers gains are con-
stantly hacked away by the representatives
of wealth and concentrated economic power.
In the scheme Of things it was to be ex-
pected that sooner or later the apostles
of bigotry in Congress would also begin TO
hack away at the limited progress made by
Negroes in recent years. So careful students
of social forces are not surprised to see the
clever Winstead amendment to the UNIT
manpower bill providing for so-ealled
voluntary" segregation for those "sensi-
tive" GIs who wish to exercise their OPP
ton" to draw the color line all the way
from Fort Dix to Korea.
True, the hush-hush approval OF the
amendment by a Republean-Dixiecrat Goa
lition in the House Armed Services Commit
tee is a national disgrace. True, il feeds the
propaganda fires of the Russians and ere
ates anti-American sentiment wherever men
of good will reside. True it is one more
sorry item which the Voice of America can
not possibly explain away. Even II never
finally enacted into law, the damage al
ready is enormous.
But the most significant aspect of this
amendment is what it forbodes for the fu-
ture. We, the common people of America
face the boldest, most lavishly financed, most
skilIfuIiy handled counter-attack on our
4. II JorI
of living that we have ever known. For in
dustry it isn't enough to show in 1850 the
most scandalous profits on record. Labor
must be regimented, stymied by wage
freezes and bureaucracy, even subjected to
q labor draft in order that profits may 60
still higher.

BY EARL

THE RIGHT STEP: A great occasion will
take place in Washington on May % and %
when some fifty national church, labor, fra
ternal, civic and minority group organiza-
tons will heed a call by the NAACP to at
tend civil rights conference. | do not wish
to predict the results of such meeting. but
this conference can be Of great significance
to us or it can turn out to be a great in
termingling mess mainly because of the
present growing field of irresponsible lead
ership. Since we are realizing the increasing
need for unity, we should carefully choose
our leadership so as to keep alive those
things which are SO vital to our becoming
first class citizens. think one Of the pur-
poses of this conference is to stimulate ma
tional unity among the masses, which can
not be attained through incompetent lead
ership in either race.
Here in the changing south we often
think of ourselves as entering a new era of
opportunities and since for the most part
this is true, each individual has his own

lieve would prove my innocence. II had,
would not face death
my efforts in the Courts to establish
the truth have been unsuccessful. II the
complete story of the MCGEE case lay hid
den for five years the fault must be placed
less upon me than upon the mores and Gus
toms which prevail in our State, when re-
lations of Negro and white are involved
That the Courts rejected my efforts in no
way changes the fact of my innocence but
only means that the procedural rules pre-
vented my innocence from being established.
In considering the pardon, the Govern
or is not bound by such restrictive procedur-
al requirements Unless l get the chance to
tell my full story, shall die. What may be
sufficient for the Courts should not suffice
for the executive. The Governors conscience
cannot be satisfied unless am given that
opportunity.
Particularly is this so because of the
nature of the charge for the fact is that
men convicted for the crime of rape have
not been electrocuted even when the facts
were undisputed and unchalleged. More
over, the death penalty is an unusual and
excessive punishment for this crime which,
by policy in this State, has been reserved
only for Negroes and not for white people.
Important as my life u.s. of greater i'm
portance Is that no State or Government
should be guilty of sending an innocent man
to his death. The granting of pardon will
prevent such an injustice Men whose guilt
has never been questioned have been par
doned have always been good citizen and
a provider for my family These six years
spent in the shadow Of death would alone
justify the granting of the pardon
Therefore, ! respectfully request that
pursuant to Section 124 Of the Mississippi
Constitution, the Governor exercise his exec
utive power to pardon me or in the altern-
alive to commute my death sentence and if
he deem it necessary, to grant me reprieve
for the purpose of investigating and con-
Quoting a hearing himself or with the as
sistance Of the Parole Board, at which and
my counsel shall be present and have the
opportunity to subpoena witnesses and that
thereupon pardon or communication be grant

Ii isn't enough for Negro servicemen
TO be left alone to enjoy the limited integra-
ton which the Army has painfully insti-
tuted in the past several years. No, as long
as Negroes in uniform fraternize to any de-
gree with Congressman Winsteds CT con-
stituents, the whole structure of segrega-
ton totters uneasly. So segregation
hitherto administrative and not 100 percent
rigid : must now be enforced through
mandatory legislation. And amidst all the
talk these days about racial progress, let's
make no mistake about one point. The con-
seriousness of racial distinctions is so pro-
foundry imbedded in white Americas mind
that many northern CT, when alerted by his
Army superiors to the Winsted choice,
would decide, under such respectable Off
cial auspices, to demand assignment to an
all-white unit.
Thus runs the mental processes of
those holding the real political power in
Washington in the spring of 1851. They
our adversares : never miss trick. They
never sleep. Aping the Communists in the
art Of deception, they seek to convince
confused and distracted public that black
is white, that "a fishpond is a table, that
Jim Grow and soaring rents spell democracy
and freedom.
Our opponents are determined to ma
nipulate, control and exploit America. They
are too intrenched TO be handled by few
overWorked liberals whose reception in
Congressional offices gets colder by the day.
Our fight, if we are TO succeed, must be
taken up by millions of common people; We
must appeal to the hearts of our eitizenry.
This fight for equality and human brother
hood must become a crusade crusade
that will show the people Of the whole
world that the heart Of America is in the
right place.
