killed in line of duty.
Moore died on the way to a
hospital few hours after a
bomb exploded beneath the floor
of his bedroom on Christmas
night. He and his wife, daughter
and mother-in-law, all of whom
are usually away from home in

gether.
Coming less than two months
after the cold-hlooded Staying of
Samuel Shepherd and wounding
of Walter Irwin, defendants in
the notorious Groveland rape"
case, by Sheriff Mccall of Lake
County, Moore's violent death
stunned many complacent per-

ace of the recent pattern of ter
ror in Florida, including the
bombing of Jewish Synagogues
and centers, the bombing of a
housing project and the attempt
ed bombing of Catholic church
all in Miami.
Ernest Thomas, one Of the four
original victims of the Grove
land frame-up, was killed by a
deputized mob in the summer of
1949 shortly after the alleged
crime took place. Shepherd was
slain on November 6, 1851, en-
route to court for a re-trial or
dered by the U. S. Supreme
Court. Moore was the third

THE MIAMI, Cicero. and De-
troit disgraces are all strongly
linked to the vicious mob rule
of Hitler, Talmadge, Malan, col

tain the dying embers of mass
exploitation of peoples of diff

WINSTON CHURCHILL is
slated to be the guest of our
President this week. Mr.. Chur-
chill in his visits with the late
President Roosevelt had a sim
liar mission to this country.
Basically it was a mission to
help Britain carry her burdens.
Mr.. Roosevelt surprised and
even angered Mr.. Churchill by
suggesting that Britain grant
freedoms to subject peoples. Mr..
Churchill continued to advocate
the colonial policy.
~ - -
THE COLONIAL POLICY will
be a major question in Mr..
Churchill's current visit al
though the finance and military
subjects will receive all the
headlines. Nevertheless, Chur-
chill, from past statements,
would like either an English or
Anglo-American colonial control
of the Orient by various meth
ods. Mr.. Truman may demand
greater freedoms for the peoples
Of Asia and Africa as he has
done in Dixie.
HARRY T. MOORE, the Flor
ida NAACP martyr, is therefor
an American minority h ero
whose sacrifice is not just one
race symbol of a minority'S fight
for freedom. The American
Harry T. Moore, has projected
the question on a world wide
basis as to whether a man can
live in freedom not only in Flor
ida, but in Capetown, So Africa;
Canberra, Australia; or Cicero,
Illinois.
THE CLOCK is running out on
the time in which the Western
Powers must get their house in
order. BY a most fortunate cir
cumstance, Mr. Churchill and
Mr.. Truman are in position to
make domestic and world wide
history. With Harry T. Moore
as a symbol, the leaders of the
foremost Western Powers can
proclaim a joint program Of
equality and justice that could
win the cold war.

Biggest Olympic Surprise Wins
Sullivan Award for AshenfeIter
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 81. 49, Horace
Ashenfelter's greatest thrill wasn't
winning the Olympic steeplechase
championship in record time from
Russia's great star. Vladimir Ka-
santZev. Nor was IL winning the
James E. Sullivan Memorial Tro-
ply, an honor which came to him
today as result of his Olympic
victory.
The thrill, cash" said after
learning that he had been chosen
for the 1852 Sullivan award, was
having his wife, Lillian, in the
stands to see his Olympic triumph.
Mrs. AShenfelter was Horace's
high school sweetheart when he
played football, basketball and
baseball in Collegeville, Pa. They
were married before he returned
to college at Penn State in 1916
after serving a hitch as an Air
Force lieutenant.
Once Decided to Quit.
She was one reason why Ashen-
felter once decided to give up dis
tance and cross-country running
in order to spend his week ends
helping with the chores on his
fathers farm.
And she was seated high in the
stands at Helsinki when Horace
negotiated the last water jump
in perfect form to overhald the
favored KaSantsev and win
Americas first Olympic distance
running title since 1908. He
finished nearly seconds ahead
of the Russian.
That victory and Ashenfelter's
time of 8:45.4. fastest ever re-
corded for the obstacle test, has
been described as the most as
performance Of the 1852
Olympics.
Holds Record in Star Games.
Among Ashenfelter's numerous
records is that for the Acacia
Invitation 2-mile race in The Star
Games in Washington. an event
he has won twice. He set the
mark just last January in WASH
ington as he beat Charley Capoz-
