A heavily-loaded truck plowed into an
old model automobile on us. Route IL

three of it's occupants and injuring four
others.

out of the crushed car which was jammed
into rock embankment and smashed al.

Lived Near Scene
All of the dead and injured live in the
Dry Hollow section, near the scene of the
accident.
Killed were Roy Charles Lowry, 48-year-
old painter; Mrs. Bertha Bradford, 29 and
her 14-year-old niece, Betty Marie Witt.
The Witt girls mother, Mrs. F. B. Witt,
her two brothers, James, IL and Paul, 6,
and Mrs. Bradford's son, Raymond, z, were
injured.
cit was the worst wreck I've ever seen,'
several officers said as ambulance men and
life saving crew members worked getting
the dead and injured out of the automo-
bile.
The truck driver, Arland Taylor, "a,
who lives at Plum Creek near Christians
burg, miraculously escaped injury when
the truck loaded with seven tons of as.
phalt mix, hit the automobile.
Condition of two of the boys was re-
ported critical at Lewis-Gale Hospital.
Raymond Bradford, whose mother was
killed outright, has brain injury, and
James Witt has broken hip, leg, thigh
and is suffering. from shock.
On Mothers Lap
Paul Witt, who was on his mothers lap
in the front seat escaped with bad cuts
His mother was badly cut but was released
because she told doctors there were other
children at home and no one else to take
care of them
The accident occurred about 100 yards
west of Dixie Caverns directly in front of
Riverside Service Station.

The truck plowed into the automobile,
knocking it off the highway into a rocky
embankment.

An eye witness was Mrs. H. w. Mosher
who lives directly across the highway.

and boosted by one cent the four-cent
charge for an airmail post card There is
no airmail increase in the House measure.
SECOND CLASS MAIL--The House
m sure increased the cost of mailing
newspapers and magazines by 10 per cent
year for the next three years The Sen
ate voted a total of 80 per cent increase
for newspapers and so per cent for mag
aZines over three years.
Some Exempted
The increases do not affect publications
circulated in the Country where they are
published. The House exempted--by an 80
"a standing vote--religious, educational,
temperance and scientific publications de-
signed specifically for classroom or relig-
ious use, whether they make profit or
not. The Senate had voted similarly. Pre-
viously non-profit publications of such or
CARNATIONS were exempt.
The Post Office Department had re-
quested a 100 per cent increase, over three
years, in second class rates. The House post
office committee had urged go per cent
raise. This figure was halved by approval
of an amendment sponsored by Represen-
tative Lyle (D-Tex).
PARCEL POST--The Senate voted in
creases aggregating $62,000,00O per year.
The House bill made no change in pres
ent rates, because the Interstate Commerce
Commission recently approved increases
which are expected to add $105,000,OO0
to present charges. These boosts become
effective next month.
SPECIAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES are in
both bills Special delivery rates under the
House bill would jump from ID cents or
small mailings to % cents; the Senate
boosts them to 20 cents. Both measures
raise registry charges from 25 to 80 cents.
COD. charges will go from 20 to 80 cents.
Each bill would increase by five cents the
rates for insuring parcels for $50 or more.

Goes To Committee
The measure now o e s to a Senate
House conference committee because it

DEAR MR.. RICHBERG:

went on to state your belief in the inferi
gritty of the Negro race and dismissed ali
scientific findings to the contrary as the
work of NEGRO politicians"
Then you wro.a a massage which could
have very easily been mistaken for some
thing from one of MIR. Hitler's speeches in
his early days in Germany Let me quote
it for you;
You wrote: "To maintain superior cul
ture people must take pride in it and
protect it from deterioration
Now, Mr.. Richberg, / don't believe thai

the countries in which they were born 81
because of the color of their skins
You are an intelligent man. You were
fortunate enough to obtain very good ed.
ucation and you have gone forward in your
profession. But there are certain things
about our common American culture that
you simply don't understand.
We live in country which has achieved
greatness because the theory upon which
our government is based and the Christian
religion from which all of our ideals came
advocate the dignity of man---all men, Mr.
Richberg.
Our Founding Fathers were most anxious
to get across this one big idea because
they were wise enough to know even then
what history has always proved, and that
is PROGRESS IN CIVILIZATION is NOT
THE EXCLUSIVE BIRTHRIGHT OF ANY
ONE RACE OR SUFFRAGE.
When white men and women in Europe
were stone-age primitives, the civilizations
of the Babylonians and Egyptians had al
ready reached their peaks and declined
There were Negro states in Africa when
Europe was still wilderness. Negroes
made iron tools and wove fine cloth for
their clothing when Europeans were wear
ing the skins of animals.
Marco Polo found developed civiliza-
ton in China when Europe was still a
frontier country.
The point / make is, since the beginning
of history every great center Of civilization
has had it's day and has given place to
others. The superior culture that you go
rightly want to maintain was not created
by white people alone but is actually the
common heritage of many races of man.
kind.
Our America is made up of peoples from
every part of the world and all of them
have had part in making this land what
it is today. This is land where man is
a man regardless of his religion or his
color.
The United States of America grew on
that principle.
Your plea for a master race does not fol.
low the spirit which has made our nation
great, Mr.. Richberg. But 1 believe that
you will feel like so many other Americans
about this whole matter after you shall
have had time to reflect upon the great
harm that can be done by any appeals IT,
