Herman B. Bennett, a GRIMM

agent who now heads the Pan

the cast of Twins footprints the

A second defense witness was
Lawrence Burtoft, who brought
the girl into town on the night of
the alleged rape. He stated that
the girl told him that she had
been kidnapped and was in the
woods all night, but said absolute
ly nothing about being raped.
When the States Attorney, Jess
Hunter, asked if there was any
thing unusual about white girl
being in the woods all night with
four 'niggers," Burtoft said,

ed wire fence" Burtoft also said
she told him she could not iden-
tify any of the men who kidnap-
ped her.
Irwin took the stand in his own
defense and raffirmed his -inno-
cense. He stated he did not see
the girl or her husband the night
of the alleged crime. He and
Samuel Shepherd had gone to a
night club in Orlando, he asserted.
MARSHALL MAKES PLEA
In his plea to the jury, Mr..
Marshall said that all of the de-
PENDANTS lawyers were born and
educated in the South. "All good
Americans resent crime and GRIM
inals," he said. every good
American has certain feelings
about sex crimes when a man of
one race and a lady of another
are involved" He asked that the
jury bring back a fair verdict.

trial was condemned to die by an

Here are some of the highlights
on the case that has attracted in
ternational interest.
ROPER POLL BARRED
At the opening of the retrial
on February IL, the NAEACP filed
a motion to introduce as evidence
a poll survey showing that Irwin
could not get fair and impartial
trial in Marion County because
the people had fixed opinions on
his guilt, and that "a per cent of
the Negroes in the county were
afraid something would happen
to them if they served in the jury
and held out for an acquittal. The
motion was denied. The poll was
made by experts from the Elmo
Roper public opinion firm. It was
the first time on record poll
survey was submitted as evil
dence in change of venue case.

LOCAL NEGROES TESTIFY

The testimony of Negro wit
nesses on the "good race rela-
tons" prevailing in this central
Florida city, and their assertion
that Irwin could get a fair and
impartial trial was an important
factor in the courts refusal to
grant a change of venue, Negroes
here believe. Local residents
claim that this testimony was the
most damaging.
Following the courts refusal to
accept as evidence the NAACP's
poll and survey, DR.. L. R. Hamp-
ton took the stand for the state,
and testified that the relationship
between the two races is better
here than in other places in Fla.
"The love and respect the White
man has for Negroes here con-
vinces me that Irwin can get
fair and impartial trial." he said.

/. There is nearly always high
rate of replacement in the white
Ia aor force ("Since most skills are
developed by on-the job expert
ence which Negro workers ordi-
narily cannot acquire, the decision
to introduce a Negro work group
usually means the willingness to
train it from scratch" Such a
procedure is costly when there are
trained white workers available.)
2. Even during manpower short
ages there is nigh elasticity of
the white labor supply available to
Southern industry, especially am
ong white women.
Qn such a situation "a Southern
employer reacts by exploring the
possibility of upgrading white
women, since they can be fitted
into his labor force far more easier
than. Negro men. Hence during
World War ii Negro gains in the
South were confined largely to
those jobs which white women were
unable or unwilling to handle.")
3. The South suffers continuing
heavy loss of above average Negro
labor to other areas.
ESQ long as able Negroes can
not be fitted into predominately
white work groups they are strong
ly tempted to head North and
West" Thus the Southern areas
are handicapped in developing
large groups Of really superior
Negro workers the kind of groups
that might serve to promote the
more extensive employment of Ne
gro labor.

SPRINGFIELD, III. - Senator
Russell Long of Louisiana told
members of the Stevenson press
Thursday that he felt that Cover
nor Stevenson's Richmond speech
was a wonderful speech, an in
telligent speech, which showed
remarkable understanding of the
problems of the South"
Senator Long, in Springfield to
talk with Governor Stevenson and
invite him to campaign in Louis

Democratic program is beneficial to
underprivileged people everywhere.
What will benefit the poor
whites of the South will also bene-
fit the Negroes of the South and
the Nation" Long said. at has
been only when the poor whites
and the Negroes battled against
each other that the privileged class
es Of the South have stepped in
and maintained power"
He said that he felt that Louis
lana will go Democratic and the
the election will not be fought out
on racial issues.
at has been interesting to me
tonight" Long said, that those
who oppose civil rights in my State
have taken great pains not to say
what the Republican position on
civil rights is. Actually, neither
the Republican or Democratic posi-
ton on civil rights is wholly ac-
ceptable to the majority of the
people in the South, but | believe
that the leadership in the South
is now ready to work out problems
IN certain areas Of civil rights with
the cooperation of the national ad-
ministration"
Long said that he felt that Stew
enson's speech in Richmond calling
on Southern leaders to take the
initiative was most intelligent.

judice in the American economy.
There is a definite pattern in the
Southern employment picture
which largely determines the kind
of Jobs that Negro may hold and
the rate of advancement which he
may achieve, DR.. Dewey says.
This pattern, he explains, is
based on two implicit rules" which
are apparently followed by most
Southern employers: Cd Negroes
do not hold jobs which command
white workers and (2) they do not
generally hold jobs where, they
must work side by side at the same
task With white workers.
Under these circumstances the
Duke economist says, the Negro
finds it difficult to compete for
single job openings in white labor
group. When an entire new work
group is needed his opportunities
are much better.
Since a Southern employer in a
we'll established plant will rarely
find it necessary ito replace an
entire work group at one time,
Negro work groups are more likely
to be accepted in new plants, new
divisions of plants, and in new
Jobs created by technical innova-
tions.
Employers who wish to substi-
tute Negro for white work groups
have many difficulties. There are
three important trends which help
