BY RANDOLPH L. WHITE

To the great surprise of many political

States Democratic Convention held at
Jackson on August 1S. BY vote of 222

eight electors to the Observation-Disclosures
ticket and barring a duplicate slate of UNI
pledged electors which opponents had
sought to enable them to either support
Eisenhower or Third Party ticket
This outstanding victory for the forces
of~true democracy was won over the des-
rerate protests Of Walter Sillers third
party chieftain and former Lieutenant
Governor Sam Lumpkin.
Former Governor Fielding Wright, 1913
leader in the States Rights movement,
reservedly recommended support of the
N. 5ional ticket but said his future course
would depend on the position Stevenson
takes on certain important issues.
All true believers in democracy will hail

majority of the Southern people are daily
becoming more conscious of what they
have at stake, politically, this crucial year.
Not only are the people of Dixieland
awakening from their long political slum-
Der, but they are prodding their leaders to
start practicing true democracy.

Governor Battle POnderS
Fate Of Albert Jackson

AT hearing held in his office, Monday,
August ID, Governor John S. Battle lis
tened to pleas for communication to life of
the death sentence now facing Albert Jack
son, DR., Charlottesville man convicted of
raping white woman on the night of
May So, 1851.
Participating in presenting the pleas
were Spottswood Robinson, III, of the Hill,
Martin and Robinson Law Firm, Rich
mond; Gregory Swanson, the attorney who
represented Jackson before Charlottes-
ville's Corporation Court and Paul R. Stone
"a law student of the T. c. Williams Law
School, Richmond. Stone, while not reg
ularly appointed counsel for the doomed
man, became interested in the case after
he learned of it through press reports con-
corning the delay of execution caused by
lightning that put the chair out of order
for the June 80 execution date. Since that
time he has worked voluntarily to aid the
condemned man.
In addition to the plea made by counsel
for Jackson, petitions bearing the sigma.
lures of possibly one thousand persons
white and NegrO--have been mailed to the
Governor requesting communication to life
of the death sentence imposed upon the
condemned man.
Jacksons counsel did not contend that
he was completely innocent but claimed
that certain aspects of the case showed
the existence of a reasonable doubt, suf-
firient to justify communication to life.
Swanson requested clemency for his eli
ent on the basis of the mans mental his
tory as brought out during the original
trial.
AS matters now tasnd, anless Governor
Battle commutes Jackson's sentence to life
imprisonment the execution will be car
ried out Monday, August 20, barring 9TH
er unforeseen events.

Important News
For Veterans

POst-Korean veterans who
want to learn how to fly will
get rs per cent of their
flight training costs paid by
the Government, under a
new CT Bill signed by the
President in mid-July. The
rest will have to come out
of the veterans own pocket.
The new CT Bill, Public
Law $50, applies to veter-
ans who served since the
outbreak Of fighting in Ko-
rea in June, 1850. Their
service need not necessarily
have been in Korea.
1t provides veterans with
five benefits: education and
training and CT loans, both
administered by the Veter-
ans Administration; and un-
e m p ] oyment compensation,
mustering-out pay and job
finding assistance, handled
by other agencies.
Under the new CT Bill, the
VA will make monthly pay
ments directly to veteran
trainees and not to the
school. Out of the allowance
veterans will have to meet
all their own expenses, in
Guiding tuition.
The VA allowance f o r
flight trainees also will go
to the veterans, but they
must turn the money over
to the flight school, along
with some funds of their
own, to cover the cost of the
training.
The law specifies that the
flight training pay will be
based on rs per cent of the
schools established charge
for non-veterans taking the
same course.
In the case of a veteran
taking flight training along
with some other course un-
der the new CT Bill, he will
receive both the flight al
lowance plus whatever 9th
err allowance he may be en-
