SENTENCED TO 10
YEARS FOR
1913 MURDER

NORFOLK, Va. - (ANP) -

former resident of Ahoskie, NC.
knows what it means to have ones
past catch up with him. That
happened to him here last week,
and though he was apparently
gone straight after 1948 muir
der, he was sentenced to 10 years
in the penitentiary.
Judge j. Sydney Smith imposed
the punishment after hearing a
pre-sentences report from Proba-
ton Officer George w. Weedal.
Parker was convicted of a second
degree murder in a trial earlier
in the month.
According to testimony at the
hearing, Parker shot and killed
Walter Walker, 20, 1948, at Park
er's girl friends house in Foxes
Lane. Fleeing from the scene
afterwards, Parker learned from
the newspaper that Walker died.
Parker wandered under an as
Sumed name from Key West, Fla.
to New York. He had settled
down in Red Hook, NY. and was
a steady and reliable employee of
a cold storage plant when he was
apprehended and returned to
Norfolk for trial.

ADMISSION TO

NEWS STORY

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.-(ANP)
= Rated by North Carolina news
men as the top news story in the
state during 1851 was the feder-
al court decision opening the
University of North Carolina to
Negroes.
This story which broke in
Richmond, Va, where the U. S.
Circuit Court of Appeals r u e d
that the U. of North Carolina
must admit colored persons to its
law school, broke a custom which
had lasted more than $50 years.
Negroes argued in the now his
toric case that they were being
denied their constitutional rights
because facilities offered at the
state Negro school were not equal
to those at the University Of
North Carolina. Despite argu-
ments by the university that Ne
groes were getting their legal
rights with training at North
Carolina college, the Federal
court ruled IN FAVOR or negroes.
Colored students were subse-
quently admitted to the univer-
sity's summer session without in
cident. However, their battle
against certain factions which re-
sisted the change was not over.
During the 1851 football season,
university officials attempted to
segregate them at home football
games.
Negro students resented this
"hyphenating" of them, and
promptly returned their student
books which designated special
seats for them. This latest form
of racism at the university
aroused the ire of many white
students and organizations on the
campus. Editorials were written
in the student newspaper de-
nouncing the chancellor of h e
university for his attitude in the

Pope Suggests Code
For Medical Research

BY the Associated Press

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy.
Sept. 17.-Pope Plus XII says
medical research must take into
account the interests Of the pa
tient. the community and medical
science, itself, before experiment.
ing with new treatments on liv-
ing persons.
The Pontiff. speaking to 500
brain and nerve surgeons attend
ing the first International Con-
gress Of Histopathology (the med
ical science dealing with the tis-
sues). outlined a moral code for
doctors and medical researchers.
The address was published yes
terday in L'Osservatore Romano,
the Vatican newspaper.
Such q code, he declared, would
prevent medical science from caus-
ing damage (which could never
be compensated by the good" it
is attempting to do.
1T is an evident law" the Pope
said. that before applying new
methods on living men. research
on bodies should be performed or

He admitted, however, that
sometimes this is impossible. There
can be cases. he added, when a
new method. still insufficiently
proved, offers, with dangerous ele-
ments, appreciable chances of sue
cess. II the patient agrees. the
application Of this process is licit
(permitted), but this cannot be
made into a line of conduct for
nomal cases."
The pontif said a doctor has
only so much power over his pa
tient as the patient grants him,
and the patient has no right to
commit "his physical and psychical

research when these interventions
would involve through themselves

STATE RANKS
3rd IN VOTING
Statistics Show 719c Of Della
wares Potential Voters
Cast Ballots in 194S
NATIONAL AVERAGE 52gs

Voting statistics compiled by the
Legislative Reference Servi of
the Library of Congress for recent
presidential elections, Indicate that
Delaware ranks third in the ration
with respect to the percentage of
its potential voters casting ballots
in the last presidential election. II
1948, approximately 71et or sli9ht-
5y more than 10000 of Delawa~e's
10000 potential voters cast bal
lots for president. According to the
state department of election T.
formation, the only states havia2
a better record than Delaware in.
Hhat election Were two far west
states-Utah and Colorado. Utah
led the nation with a 74.6% figure,
while Colorado ranked second
71.49o, of its potential voters indi
eating choice for president. For
the nation as a whole in the 1948
election, just little more than half
the nations potential voters-or
52e6-cast ballots. However, that
figure does not necessarily reflect
true picture since the national
average is invariably pulled down
by the southern states where the
primary elections attract most of
the interest. The states of Ala
bama and South Carolina, both
with slightly less than 1870 of their
potential voters exercising the priv
iIege of voting for president, were
the lowest states in the nation, per-
centagewise, in 1948. Statistics il
Illustrating sectional differences
show that the average for nine
southern states in 1948 was 2596,
while in the New England States
some 6196 of the potential voters
went to the polls. And even though
Delaware's figure of 7196 ranked
it near the top in the nation for
1948, that figure represented a de-
cline percentagewise from the 1914
and 1910 elections. In 1914, 724s
of Delaware's potential voters cast
ballots for, President, and in 1910
approximately 1870 of its voters
did likewise.
Delaware Poorest in Soldier Vote
In the field of soldier voting for
past presidential elections, how
ever, Delaware is listed by Spec
ial Committee of the American Po-
7itica1' Association appointed by the
President to study this field, as
having one of the poorest records.
According to the report, recently
submitted to Congress, the princi-
pal reason for Delaware's low na-
tional ranking is that it still re
sqI1ires members of the armed forces
to register in person. At the pres
ent time, the report points out, only
five other states-Alabama, Flor
ida, Louisiana, South Carolina and
Utah-still have this requirement
I'm their statute books. In these
six states, the service vote was moi
more than three jer cent of the
zotal vote cast for President. AS
