White House
Attendant Retires
AT Age Of Is

WASHINGTON = (ANP) -
Samuel jackson decided to call it
"Quits" here last week after hav-
ing spent almost az years in the
service of the government, rs of
which he was an attendant in the
White House.
Jackson, who celebrated his 10th
birthday last Dec. 81, said good
bye to President Truman, and ad-
ded, "I'm proud that | was born in
America" The President replied,
Eve are all proud"
He retired on Jan. 2, just two
months and three days short of
having put in AZ years of service.
Born in Campbell county, Va, Dec.
n, 1875, he began working as a
footman for the Federal public
buildings and grounds service on
March 4, 1909. In 1926, he was
transferred to the executive offices
Of the White House, where he re-
manned until last week.
He was something of an unoffi-
cial greeter of White House
visitors-both commoners and roy
alty-taking their hats and coats
when they arrived, and returned
them as they departed.
AS a retirement gift, he received
an autographed photograph of
President Truman.

Bishop Moore became i'll about
two years ago while presiding over
a conference at Columbus, Miss,

lieved of heavy episcopal duties as

airy.
Native of near Huntsville, Ala,
Bishop Moore was the son of
slave parents Mr.. and Mrs. Turner

public schools and at Rust Uni
versity, Holly Springs, Miss. While
still in his teens" he became min

liens and with city officials dis
closed that Lang, native of Port
Allen, West Baton Rouge Parish,
had been employed for many
years by c. ORGY DUPONT, attorney
Tor the tax collector of Iberville
Parish, and was trusted and well
regarded by Mr.. Dupont.
Lang and Brown, according to
reports went hunting Dec. 80, us
ing guns and a boat owned by Mr..
DUPONT. When they failed to re-
turn from the hunt, the sheriff,
Charles A. Griffin, Jr., and the
Negro and white citizens searched
the woods and dragged the bayou
but failed to locate the two men or
the boat they were using.
One Of the bodies was found
floating in the. bayou about 10
o'clock Sunday morning and the
other, about / o'clock that after
noon. Both bodies were badly
decomposed and showed signs of
having been in the water several
weeks.
INQUEST HELD
The bodies were removed to the
Good Citizens Funeral Home
shortly afterward by Molly Powell,
whose wife, Mrs. Lizzie Powell,
manages the establishment and
whose niece Mrs. Anniesteen Lang,
was the wife of Owen (Pete) Lang.
A check with DR.. Rome d. Mar
tinez, Iberville Parish coroner, dis
closed that corener's jury had
been selected and that an inquest
was held in the Good Citizens Fun
eral home Sunday afternoon. The
coroner's jury returned a verdict
of accidental drowning" in both
instances.
The report showed that Lang
led of accidental drowning" and
that he had simple fracture of
the right leg. DIR. Martinez said
this injury could have been sus-
tanned while Lang was struggling
in or near the boat, that there
was no skin blemish over the spot
| where the fracture was located,
and that the skin was unbroken.
NEGROES ON JURY
Two Negroes, Clarence M. Stew
art and Henry Young, ST., were
members of the coroner's jury
which held the inquest. Other
members were Jesse E. Hymel,
Owen A. Miller, Lawrence J. Mil
Ter, Henry Blanchard, John Rupp
and John A. Rupp.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powell said that
any person who wished to do so
could have viewed the bodies but
because the families of the de-
ceased men did not see fit to pur-
chase zinc-lined caskets as pro-
vided by law, the funerals were
held Immediately following the in
quests Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. DUPONT, employer of Lang,
was not in his office, however his
son, c. 0. Dupont, received news
men cordially and told them that
if there had been the slightest in
dication of foul play his father
would have been the first person
to insist on thorough investiga-
ton.

On his 1,70O acres, 80 of which
he owns and the rest he rents un-
der a slong-term lease, Mr.. Hull
plants 500 acres in cotton, 800 in
corn interplanted with soybeans,
and 200 in hay. The rest is in wood
land and undeveloped pasture.
Most of his corn yield of so
bushels per acre is fed to his ex-
panding pig herd, although some
of it goes to market, and some to
the idle mules on the place. He
doesn't know what to do about
these animals, now that he has five
tractors and a combine, they are
seldom harnessed, but he keeps
them mostly for sentimental rea-
sons.

from south of Natchez to Indianola

ter.
They sharecropped from farm to
farm near the town for four years.
BY raising as much Of their food
as they could, they finally saved up
enough to make the down-payment
on mule and blind horse. ITO
gether, they cost us $780," Mr..
Hull recalls.
Now that they had workstock,
the Hulls rented 80 acres, and set
about employing improved farm
ing and management practices to
increase their earnings. They set
up budget for the year and plan
ned their work. Their main crop
was cotton, of course, but there
were chickens and vegetables, too,
to sell in nearby Indianola. And
unlike most farmers in the area,
they rotated their cotton with 9TH
Ell crops and increased their yield.
So impressive were their man
agement practices that a white
planter employed Mr.. Hull to man
age his farm. Within few years,
he was managing a 3,00O-acre plan
tation. He held this position until
1886 - almost 20 years - when
he decided to devote full time to
his own 31O-acre farm which he
had bought piecemeal over the
years. Later, he began leasing adj
ditional land.

HUNT CONTINUING,
 BADMAN N WEST

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Jan. e-sR- A manhunt continued with increasing tempo throughout the west today for the elusive Bill Cook, Missouri badman, wanted for the possible staying of eight persons in a cross country trail of terror
 In the last few days the hunt has centered along the Mexican border but in scattered sections of Texas, Oregon, Kansas, New Mexico and California jittery citizens have re- ported sighting men resembling the 24-year-old ex-convict.
 However, the FBI here was frankly skeptical of reports that Cock had crossed the border back into the United States from Mexico because of the close watch at the boundary line and the extensive roadblocks that have been main- tained.
