morning after being called back

be considered by the Grand Jury
along with several other similar
cases.
The child was taken to the court
house in an ambulance Wednesday
morning in order to appear before
the Grand Jury. She had already
positively identified the white
man in a police lineup on the day
following the crime.
On Friday following his arrest
the 48-year-old white man con-
fessed to police that he had raped
the 14-year-old Negro girl.
Spurred by the fact that this
was the third case in Jackson and
Kinds County in recent months
where low teen-aged Negro girls
have been raped by white men,
and none of them having even
been brought to trial, prominent
Negro women of Jackson have or
ganized the Negro Womanhood
Defense Committee, whose purpose
is to raise money, and do every
thing else possible to bring about
the prosecution of the white man
in TINS case. The first act was to
call civ wide mass meeting at

crime. A second meeting was held

The W ashington Merry Go Round sCopys.ght. 1851. by Bell Syndicate. Inc,
 By DREW PEARSON

W ASHINGTON-It may get a diplomatic denial, but the unfor- tunate fact is that there has never been so much serious friction be- tween U. s. and Latip,American representatives as at the LIN Gen. eral Assembly session in Paris.
 Not since 1945, when the other 20 American republics threatened to walk out of the United Nations organizing conference at San Fran cisco, have so many harsh words and mutual recriminations been ex- changed among western hemisphere neighbors.
 Ironically, our Latin friends were on the verge of a walkout six years ago because, they said, we had done too much appeasing of the Rus- sians. Now their chief complaint is that we are getting too tough with the Commies.
 This doesn't mean that they've suffered change of heart; however, it's just that some of our recent tactics on the international front have responsible Latin Americans

 Cliff Gardner, big fisherman who tends bar at the Baranof Bubble Room during the winter, goes pretty soft when he reads the Dear San ta" letters. He has been the early Christmas morning Santa for the Winfield Home for the past three years.
 The forty bartenders in Juneau provide the funds to buy gifts for the 40 youngsters at the Home.
 Nearly all letters say, Dear San- ta, we hope we can see you again. :"
 Most of them make their own requests but one 13-year-old girl wrote T will write for few girls who cannot write. :" She lists the girls names and ages and what they hope for. Dolls rank high along with "bastinets" doll clothes, shoes, pair of furry mittens, a book, pencils and toothbrush. Older children want suitcases and gloves. Many hoped for flash lights.

Buying, Selling
 Foreign Monies

LONDON, Dec. 15- R Britain ea3ed her iron-handed control over the buying and selling of foreign monies today with the aim of res- toring world confidence in her own weakened currency.
 The bank of England authorized private individuals to trade British pounds for foreign money-includ- ing the dollar-subject only to a government limitation on the prices.
 The action, which relaxes but does not end exchange control res- trictions, was regarded as a small first step by Britain to let the pound find it's real value on the money markets of the world. The Bank of England may seek more U. s. money aid next month.
 The official dollar value of the British pound remains at $2.80 and the official price of gold remains at S35 per fine ounce.
 Dealers buying or selling lorelgn monies for immediate use will be able to swing their prices anywhere between $2.77 and $2.83. Dealers buying or selling foreign monies later use (forwarO will be able to vary their prices still more. The only limitation is that they cannot buy or sell at prices which the international monetary fund would deem unreasonable.
 An official bank statement an- nounced that the foreign exchange market will be reopened in London Monday for dealing both in spot and forward currencies.
 It has been closed since 1859.

Sub-zero Gold Hiis Mid-We est In SnowstoYnl
By the Associated Press

A blast of sub-zero cold struck areas from the Rockies to the mid west today and the coldest weather of the season was in prospect for most of the country.
 The biting cold came on the heels of fast-moving snowstorm which yesterday dealt damaging blows and inconvenienced millions from the midwest to the North Atlantic states.
 At least 27 persons died from causes attributed to the mid-Decem- bere snowstorm, which left record falls in many areas across the northeastern quarter of the coun- try. The wind-swept snowfalls dis rupted transportation and com munications in scores of cities.
 Temperatures dipped to far be- low zero early today in Montana, Minnesota and North Dakota, as the frigid blasts swept across the Canadian border. It was -23 at Miles City, Mont, and -21 at h. ternational Falls, Minn., Dickinson, ND. and Lewiston, Mont. It was zero in Denver, above in Elko, New, and above in Chicago.
 The colder weather was headed for most sections of the country, including wide areas of the south. Readings of Is were predicted for areas in Tennessee and 20 above in central Alabama. New York fore casters predicted a sharp drop to around Is above tomorrow
 The icy blasts extended into the Texas Panhandle early today with low of 13 above at Amarillo. The chilly air extended into southern Texas as the cold mass moved east ward and south from the frigid mid west.
