ed to heavily populated commun-
tiles near defense production

ices required in connection with
the national defense. It is regarded
as an important element of the
overall defense planning.
Whenever a big new defense
plant, such as the Atomic Energy

South Carolina, is put under con-
tract, Federal agencies will be en-
abled to begin the necessary plan
ming to provide adequate housing

permanent production workers who
may be needed.
The E. I. du Pont de Nemours

new atomic energy production
plants. They are to be located in

Block Of Prison Area During Execution

RICHMOND, VA. (NNPA) -

morning put to death four of sew
en- youth of Martinsville, Virginia.
They were convicted of the rape
of 32-year-old white woman two
years ago.
The other three were electro
cuted Monday.
The executions in the Virginio
State Penitentiary last Friday
came after long-drawn out court
fight, which twice reached the
United States Supreme Court, and
last-minute appeals to Governor
John S. Battle, Chief Justice Fred
M. Vinson of the United States
Supreme Court, and President
Truman.
AS heavily armed State, County,
City and Military Police roamed
the square block of the prison
area, w. Frank Smyth, prison
superintendent, led 21-year old
Joe Henry Hampton to the execu-
ton chamber at 8:06 am. Six
minutes later = and less than
seven hours after Chief Justice
Vinson had rejected last minute
Plea to intervene in Washington
was pronounced dead.
In order, Howard Lee Hairston,
20; Booker T. Millner, %, and
Frank Hairston, Jr., 20, followed.
Each was pronounced dead ap-
proximately five minutes after
entering the green-painted room
that houses the 42-year old Vir-
ginia electric chair. It required
only fifty-nine minutes to put the
four men to death. The execu-
toner was not identified.
Before the first of the colored
men were executed, George T.
Haley, white, rape-slayer of Mar
ian Lloyd, a 14-year old high
school girl, was electrocuted.
Mass meetings and prayer Wig
lis have been held here during
the last week while attorneys
made frantic efforts to gain a
stay of execution or to obtain
clemency, but there was no dem
onstration at the prison as the men

Accused DisIoya|ty
OF Soldier Shocking

NEW YORK (NNPA) = In a
telegram sent last Wednesday to
Thomas K. Finletter, Secretary
of the Air Force, Walter White,
executive secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, expressed
Shock" at the accusation of dis
loyalty made against Capt. Chas.
A. Hill, Jr., an Air Force reserve
officer.
Capt. Hill, who was decorated
three times during World War II,
said in Detroit, on January 80,
that he had been requested by
the Continental Air Command at
Mitchell Field, Long Island, to re-
sign his reserve commission or
seek hearing on the diSloyalty
charges.
He refused to resign and a
board of senior officers will hear
the charges against him.
There is no indication of any
disloyal act on the part of Capt.
HILL" the telegram said in part.
"In essence he is accused Of as
sociating with and aiding his own
father in an election campaign.
This summary action seems to be
another phase Of a concerted eff
fort to discredit Negro service
men,"
The father, the Rev. Charles A.
Hill, is alleged to have taken part
in the work of organizations on
the Attorney Generals subversive
list.

has them over for dinner two or
three times during the week.
Sometimes it's quite unexpected.
Mrs. @. has good meal already
on the stove, but she has to take
1t off. because they must not hurt
mons feelings. After all, she
won't be with us forever-maybe
not more than 20 years longer OF
80 at the very most!
Several times Mrs. @. has re-
belled. Then nom invites sonny
to dinner without his wife. and
he goes. without his wife.
Where's the spiral Of imitation?
Right here in the fact that Mr..
@. feels a deep hostility toward
MON that he doesn't dare to ex-
press. It's wicked for a man to
hate his own dear mother! The
recognition of this feeling Of hos
Utility to MON makes him feel very
guilty, so he goes out of his way
all the more to be nice to her and
fall in with her plans, so he won't
feel so guilty. But giving in to
her this way makes him feel all
the more hostile. which makes him
feel even more guilty. which makes
him try harder to be nice to her.
which makes him feel even more
hostile than before; then more
guilt, more devotion. more hos
tility, more guilt-up and up and
up, with his wife the real victim.
Where is this spiral of imitation
going to stop? What can his
wife do?
She can't do anything quickly
she would merely increase her
husbands gritty feelings and
therefore give the imitation an
other boost. But she can freeze
the whole business at the present
level and then start a very grad
tual roll-haek. She can encourage
other people to invite her and her
husband out. She can encourage
Iher husband to invite some of his
business acquaintances in. Little
Iby little, she can help him to act
more like a grownup, and that
will make him really more Of a
grownup.
But it requires plenty of patience
to help a husband grow up. Plenty
of wives can tell you that!

of Freedom"
Taking note of the fact that the

the world"
We've got to prove it's the best

talist husbands will be the first att
the lamp-post, if our kind of
democracy is licked in either the
hot or cold war with communism. "
Mrs. Craig declared that self
ishnesS and greed" are the great
est threat to the American kind
of government. Its next worst
enemy, she said. sis the apathy
that keeps two-thirds of the
voters away from the polls at
election day and tolerates dis
honest and inefficient public serv-
ants"
The speaker also expressed con-
cern at the natural tendency"
of the Government to suppress
news that it does not want to
get out" only an informed elec-
torate can make democracy work, :"
she emphasized.
Miss Strauss, past president
of the League of Women Voters
of the United States, deplored the
trends toward following the crowd
without giving thought to basic
facts, lionizing leaders, waste in
personnel placement and shifting
Of individual citizen responsibility
