SLAYER OF TWO
COPS GETS DEATH
VERDICT

CHICAGO - CAMP - Ber-
nice (Bernie) Davis, 2l-year-old
accused slayer of two White po-
licemen was found guilty in
Judge julius H. Miners criminal
court room here Thursday, and
his punishment fixed at death in
the electric chair.
Davis waived trial by jury for
a bench trial and pleaded not
guilty. According to court Off
Gals, his conviction is the first of
such a hearing in recent years.
Usually, defendants waving jury
trial place themselves upon the
mercy of the court with guilty
plea.
Formal sentencing of Davis
awaits the drawing of an execu-
ton order by the states attorn-
ey's office.
The doomed man was arrested
shortly after he had shot and kill
ed two detectives who had gone
to his home last July IA to ques-
ton him about the robbery of a
currency exchange in Huntington,
w. Va. Davis defense counsel
contended that the officers repre-
sented themselves as water meter
inspectors and that Davis had shot
in self-defense.
However, Judge Miner refused
to accept this line of reasoning,
saying 1.-THE court rejects the
garble of illegal entry by the po-
lice as spurious and baseless. The
principal measure of crime is the
injury done society. Nothing is
more precious and vital to COM
munity than the lives of police
men. which are braved constant
ly in defense of our lives and
property.
The object of punishment Is
not only to prevent the offender
from further injuries to his fell
low citizens, but to deter others
from committing similar often
seS. Punishment should be COM
mensurate with the crime"
The defense had also pleaded
that Davis arrest and seizure was
illegal and that his confession had
been obtained under duress.

of the family of God" was put on
here last week when more than
1000 persons Negro and
White gathered at a service

kawa, a Japanese-American, who
pastors the First Baptist church

ton that the christian church
requires a daring adventurous
step to save itself from extinction
in secular world"
He pointed out that the
"worlds of sports, diplomacy, ed
ucation, art and music have gone
far ahead of the Christian church
because they have been more
ready to accept Negroes than the
church itself"
He added that his congregation
was mostly White, but accept Ne
gro members.

I'Ue Been Thinking
- BY CAB GALLOWAY
1T CAB GALLOWAY

It is seldom that / turn to lit
erature as subject for this COL
umn, but l have been extremely
impressed with a very scholarly
and all-inclusive work recently
published by Funk and Wagnalls
Company, the dictionary and en-
cyclopedia people. This work, in
two volumes, is called the Folk
lore Dictionary"
Included within its pages are
concise but searching .derivations
and histories of the many stories,
superStitions and beliefs which go
to make up the fanciful world of
folklore.
You'll find complete analyses
of such varied subjects as nursery
rhymes and cannibalism; tongue
Cwisters and the family of Greek
gods and goddeSSeS. To my way
of thinking, these volumes are
invaluable in understanding the
cultures, SuperstitionS, and even
the religions of today. So much
of our life stems from the phases
of folklore which become almost
as realistic as everyday occur
renceS.
The editors who compiled this
voluminouS work are to be COM
mended for the analytical man
ner of their approach. There are
folk tales from many lands with
in its pages and yet there is never
a passage which smackS of intol-
erance. Even the section on can
nibalism is treated analytically
and respectfully.
Many Negro folk-tales are in
Guided in the two volumes, some
of which | have heard and others
which are unfamiliar to me. But
it is interesting to note that Ne
gro culture is not topheavy with
superstition, an impression which
has been widely given.
To my mind this is worthwhile
addition to any good private Ii
brary and must addition to any
city and school library system.
Folklore is the forerunner of art,
music, literature. 1t is well to be
informed on subject so basic as
this. And it is even better to have
such reference material at your
fingertips.
In short, recommend the
Folklore Dictionary" to you,
not for popular reading, but for
interesting lore.

Appeal for Limiting

SEATTLE, Wash. Aug. Ga
constitutional amendment limit
ing the power of the Supreme
Court in deciding disputes be-
tween States and the Federal
Government-Such as the tide
lands controversy-was urged to-
day by the president of the Ma
tional Association of ATTORNEYS
General.
Harry MCMILLAN. North Caro-
lina'S Attorney General and re-
firing president of the associa-
ton, asserted that without such
an amendment the Federal courts
may completely destroy the SOW
ereignties of the several States. /"
At the associations annual con-
vention, Mr.. Mcmillan referred to
suits between the Federal Govern
ment and the States of California,
Louisiana and Texas over owner
ship of tidal oil lands. In each
case the Supreme Court ruled in
favor Of the Government. But
this week the House voted to give
States the ownership of submerged
lands seaward for three miles and
in some cases further. The bill
is in the Senate.
"It is clear to all Of u.s." Mr..
Mcmillan said. that with fed
orally appointed judges serving
for life, umpires are selected and
paid by the United States who
are permitted by their own de-
cisions and assumptions of author
ity to pass upon the conflicting
rights of the National and State
Governments"
by the means of constitu-
tional interpretations" he added,
"the Federal judges, if the present
tendency continues, will effectively
and completely destroy the sover-
eighties of the several States
thought to have been so care
fully retained in the Constitution.
THE only possible remedy for
this steadily worsening situation
is the adoption of an amendment
to the Federal Constitution,
clearly defining and limiting the
authority of the Supreme Court
as to controversies between the
National and State Governments" I"
