Jury Frees White Man Charged
With Rape Of Negro Girl In Second
Trial Here Last Week
Faces New Indictment On Charge
Of Statutory Rape Here Months Ago
Released On
Bond Of $4,000

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. IT
(DSN)-A check of opinion in the
Negro community here revealed no
surprise at the verdict which freed
H. L. Morrow, 48-year-old white
carpenter in his second trial last
week on charges growing out of the
brutal rape of teen-age Negro
girl here several months ago.
The attitude of the Negro COM
munity regarding the trial was
best summed up by one of its lead
ing businessmen who said a diff
ferent verdict in the case was too
much to expect, as a different YER
dict would mean that Mississippi
was honoring virture in Negro
womanhood, and would have been
a long step forward toward bring
ing an end to the charge of "rape"
and its implications as a means of
keeping the Negro in the condi-
ton under which he has lived since
1890. Mississippi is simply un-
willing, or unready, at this time,
to make such a change.
1t should be noted he said that
the verdict in the Morrow case
came despite the fact that the COM
munists are using the difference in
the punishment when the charge
is made against a white man as
compared to the charge against a
Negro as the main propaganda
against Democracy in the effort to
convert the colored people of the
world to communism.
The second trial in the case,
which came after a mistrial was
ordered in the first trial during the
previous week, and which was held
behind closed doors before an all
white jury ended last Thursday
when after several hours delibera-
ton the jury reached a verdict of
acquittal.
Under the rule repeatedly gov
erning the trial the jury had three
alternatives in reaching a verdict.

Poles Ban u. ). Liners
In Batory Retaliation
BY the Associeisd Press

NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-In re-
taliation for the banning for the
Polish liner Batory from New
York City piers, the American
owned Moore Mccormack Steam
ship Line has been ordered out of
Poland. The company has been
operating to Poland for more than
rs years.
Robert c. Lee, executive vice
president Of the American line,
said today on his arrival from
Europe that the Polish govern
ment had given him a December
81 deadline to cease operations to
Gdynia.
Mr.. Lee said the Polish govern
ment insisted on acting as agents
for the line on threat Of expulsion.
1--WE are not willing to work that
way" he explained. 1--WE don't
think they could handle it."
He said the Polish government
gave as its reason for the ulti-
matum "the mistreatment OF the
Batory and the State Depart
ment's failure to spank New York
City for putting the ship out"
Moore Mccormack temporarily
suspended Gdynia operations last
April after the Batory's banish-
ment from New York Piers as a
poor security risk.
The Polish order will result in
a negligible" loss of business to
the line. Mr.. Lee said. Ninety
per cent Of freight to Gdynia was

District Blood Center
Needs 10000 Donors
To Meet October Goal

Washington's Red Cross blood
center will need 10000 donors
in October.
Another 10000 will be needed
each month till next summer.
This is the impact of the Ma
tion's new blood donor drive on
the District area.
The new quota, set by Red Cross
leaders last week, is 5000 above
the number of donors this month
1t means 500 donations each week.
day.
Last week-the first in which
the new drive began moving here
public response jumped almost
TO the necessary pace. More than
2,400 donors were enlisted. But
leaders see a long recruiting eff
fort ahead.
3 Million Pints by July.
The drive was launched nation
ally 20 days ago to replace ex-
hausted plasma reserves of the
armed forces. The goal is 3 mil
lion pints by July. Washington and
the surrounding region are sup
posed to produce $4,000 pints, Just
for plasma-or almost $3.50 pints
a month.
Not all blood must come from
the immediate area. Red Cross
bloodmobiles range out over q
radius Of rs miles, and a new
bloodmobile. going into service
this week. will enlarge the dis
tance to $50.
But donors in the immediate
area will bear the brunt Of it.
Many new ones, officials say, must
be recruited.
Red Cross also supplies blood
for direct shipment to Korea and
for area hospitals. Collections for
these purposes must continue.
That is why the big 10000 quota
is necessary.
Biggest Drive Since War.
The new drive is the biggest
since World War II. Defense lead
ers hope the Nation will provide
100000 pints for plasma monthly
The plasma is needed in case of
some new emergency, the Defense
Department says. Even the armed
forces are starting collections at
some Of their big bases to help out.
The blood center here has been
keeping up with current local
needs, and it has never fallen
short on shipments to Korea.
But volunteers haven't been nu-
enough most of the time to
NIL plasma quotas. which the ar
med services have been banking on
Tor months.
Daily Quota Not Met.
Last weeks shipments were
much better. With publicity bring
ing new donors both to the 1880
E street blood center and to blood
stops, the center sent 856
pints to the armed forces-most
Of 1t for plasma. This was more
than half the amount shipped for

A Strange Enemy

Mountains and weather enc
mics which have proved as effec-
tive against the U. N. forces as the
Reds themselves. Last winter it
was cold and snow. You've heard
about that. So far this summer the
temperature has averaged in the
humid eighties. When it isn't hot,
It's raining . steady downpours
for two and three days straight.
It's a strange war here in
Korea. It's a strange soldier
we fight. Reports from intelli-
gence speak Of such things as
"the Chinese may be waiting
for full moon" or "expect an
attack If we get three straight
days of rain." The Chinese are
superstitious. They brighten
easily and they fight fantical-
ly.
Every soldier breads nightfall
The Reds love to infiltrate at night
and launch wild whistle-blowing
banzai attacks. The enemy uses his
artillery most at night. Unlike most
wars there are no clear cut front
lines in Korea. The enemy can be
any place at any time.

The Men Wonder

Soldiers, as always, have their
gripes. Rotation is wonderful, but
sometimes it seems awfully slow in
coming around. When they see
stateside papers with Korean news
mentioned briefly they wonder if
the people back home care.
The men here know why they're
fighting. You hear why not give
them the place" But when you talk
seriously with these same men,
most of them will admit they were
only letting off steam.

Loneliness and Death

WHAT is it like in Korea? What
w Is 1t like to the men who are
here? I think of three things
around me - mountains, loneliness
and death. think of rotation and
home and the future. And I know
that those things are in the minds
and bones of most infantrymen in
Korea.
AS soldier lies in his foxhole
and tries to peer through the mist
that covers the top of a mountain
he thinks of many things. This is
the war in Korea as I see it.
1t seems to me that civilian writ
ers covering the war have not made
enough mention of the hills. At any
rate, the hills have a major bear
ing on the job of the individual
soldier and the entire tactical sit
uation.
