give a reason.
A murder charge was to be
placed against her today.
Three other Negro women pa
tients in the office at the time of
the shooting said there was an ar
gument over the size Of Mrs. Nc
Columns bill.
The sheriff said four spent
shells were found in the Negro
woman's revolver and that Adams
was shot once near the heart, once
in the left shoulder and again in
the side. Police Chief Worth How
ard said the doctor was found
clutching a 500 bill in one hand
and fountain pen in the other.
At one point after Howell re-
turned from Raiford, a delegation
from the crowd was taken through
the jail to prove Mrs. McCollum
was not there. There was no de-
monStration.
The sheriff said the gathering
indicated more or less curiosity"
but that the state patrolmen would
stay the night to prevent any pos
sible demonstration after dark.
Howell also ordered all beer and
liquor establishments in the coun-
~ closed.
Adams practiced in Live Oak,
town of about 400, for many years

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS
By HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK R-There is a pc
riod in the lives of most boys when
they want to be a cowboy, fire.
man or a cop.
When / was that age I had a
different ambition. l wanted to
grow up and be a Saturday night
sport" 1t seemed like life could
hold nothing finer.
You don't see many Saturday
night sports any more. Like the
village blacksmith, time has
passed them by. But to me they
will always have a memorial CLAM
or, because they were the heroes
Of my childhood.
Just what was the Saturday night
sport? Well, he was the forerun-
ner of the cake-eater, the drug
store cowboy, and the modern-day
corner wolf. But he was much
more than these. He had flair,
an aura of temporary splendor
about him-the nonchalant air of
dead-game guy ready for any
adventure.
During the week the Saturday
night sports of my childhood were
just ordinary fellows grubbing out
a living. One was an undertaker's
assistant. One was a grocery clerk.
One worked in a cleaning shop.
Another had a steady job with the
city.
But every Saturday night they
crawled out of the cocoon of the
commonplace. They met at the
corner barbershop and took turns
| lolling in the chair like million
aires while Verne, the barber,
gave them the works-shave, hair
cut, massage, and tonic.
ALI the time they kept up a line
of rapid-fire chatter, knowing in.
side stuff about baseball, babes,
and politics. I was selling news
papers on the corner then, and ]
used to love to come into the bar
bershop and sit quietly and listen
to them.
Every once in a while one Of
them would toss me a nickel for
a two-cent paper, and say, "That's
all right, Sonny, keep the change"
It wasn't the three-cent bonus that
thrilled Mccullough in those van
ished days fellow Of my years
didn't sneeze at a three-cent tip
it was the offhand magnificence
with which they did it. J. p. Nor
gan couldn't have shown more
aplomb in buying yacht.
When they were all barbered
and shined, these corner dandies
| would nudge each other ana say:
"Well, sport, let's 60 out and
paint the town a new color"
This rather puzzled me, because

Devastating Drought Creates

Assistant Secretary Hutchinson

The outlook -. for the next IL

This staggering blow to the re-

back a thriving young livestock
industry which, in a few years,
has become a major source of in

Their pastures burned out by the

Revision Of Taft Law
By COP. Congress |!
Seen Almost Certain
by the Assoeioied Press

Signs on Capitol Hill pointed
today to major rewriting of the
Nations labor law by the new
Republican 83d Congress pos
sibly even supplanting the Taft
Hartley Act with a new law.
Representative Mcconnell, Re-
publican. Of Pennsylvania. who
steps up to the Craftsmanship of
the House Labor Committee in the
G. o. P.-controlled Congress. told
a reporter:
I'VE are certainly going to have
changes in the labor management
relations law. I certainly antici-
pate them. but how they will be
made I can't yet say"
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio wants to keep the law that
bears his name, but revise it
through a series of amendments.
Some Seek New Law.
Strong feeling is reported to ex-
ist among some G. o. P. law
makers for completely rewriting
basic labor management legiSla-
tion-and in so doing, bury for
good the controversial association
of Taft Hartley with the Republi-
can Party.
Speculation has also been re-
ported among some labor union
officials on the prospect of an
entirely new law emerging from
the House Labor Committee under
Mr.. Mcconnell.
AS the committees ranking mi
nority member in the last Con-
gress, Mr.. Mcconnell worked out
q mine safety bill satisfactory to
labor, operators and the Govern
ment after getting all parties
around table to compromise
their differences.
May Use Same Approach.
Mr. Mcconnell was reported to
have in mind the same sort of an
approach to working out a new
labor-management relations act to
replace Taft-Hartley.
Mr.. Mcconnell, an investment
banker and not a lawyer, has
never disguised his belief that
Taft-Hartley is too legaistic and
obscure to be understood readily.
He said he has not yet talked
to President-elect Eisenhower on
the subject, and in no event would
he proceed Aalong lines which did
not have administration approval.
Generally regarded as a mod
crate by his fellow Republicans,
Mr.. Mcconnell is considered
friendly to labor and has voiced
opposition to Federal interven-
ton in labor-management rela-
tions which interferes with pro-
duction Or endangers free col
lective bargaining.
He has also been opposed to
Government seizure of industry as
a means of preventing strikes.
