Forest Fires Sweep
Thousands Of Acres
In 5 Southern States
By the Assoeio.ed Press

Forest fires cracked and
roared through thousands of
acres of dry woodlands in five
Southeastern States early today
and claimed one life in Ken
lucky.
Fire-fighters, exhausted from
several days of battling flames
in drought stricken areas, we're
gaining re-inforcements from
volunteers and State personnel
in Alabama. Georgia, Tennessee
and North Carolina.
The possibility of arson was
being investigated in Georgia
and North Carolina.
Hunting was banned in parts
of Alabama, Georgia and North
Carolina in an effort to stem
the fires which Sprang up as
fast as they were put out.
Tree Stump Kills Boy.
Three-year-old Prentiss Little
of Pike County, KY. was killed
when a burning tree stump broke
loose from a hillside, rolled down
and struck him as he played in
his yard.
More than 1000 acres of for
est land we're aflame in SO coun-
ties in Kentucky. About 80 of
the fires were several days old
and covered 5000 acres. Twenty
three new fires ate through an
other 1000 acres.
Hunting seasons were closed
in 26 North Alabama counties in
an effort to reduce the hazard.
But 80 fires still blazed early
today after II were put out yes
terday in Jefferson County alone.
Alabama State Forester j. M.
Stauffer said new equipment and
crews were being rushed in from
non-critical areas. He said the
situation had been we'll under
control until last week end, when
the fires began to spring up.
Is Arson Cases Charged.
D. J. Morriss, North Carolina
national forests supervisor, re-
ported that fires had been de-
liberately set in at least Is
places. Gov. William B. Um-
stead has closed hunting sea-
sons in 90 counties.
Thirty-six fires broke out in
a 24-hour period in Northwest
Georgia. The Georgia Forestry
Commission said it believes some
of the fires are being set. Gov.
Herman Talmadge Wednesday
banned all hunting in IL North
Georgia counties after 81 fires
were reported in a three-day
period.
Across the State line in Ten
nessee. about 1000 acres have
burned on Lookout Mountain.

Conscience Conquers,
Potent Receivers

LONG BEACH, Calif.-A little
transaction at the police station
cured a woman of a nervous
breakdown and gave another $35
she lost at Santa Anita race
track five years ago.
The deal was arranged by DR..
Samuel A. Reese, psychiatrist.
He explained that a woman pa
tient was suffering from a break
down stemming from a guilt
complex.
She had found a wallet at the
track in 1948, he said, and ever
since has lived under the fear
that if she turned it in to po-
lice she'd be arrested and if she
didn't she'd be arrested.
DR.. Reese turned in the wal
let and money for her. 1t was
promptly claimed by an amazed
Mrs. Blanche Brandstetter,
whose drivers license was in it.
The doctor said his patient
reported immediate relief.

Tradition Set In North.
1t is in the north of Nigeria
that Britain first established her
tradition of indirect rule-by
local chieftains. It has worked
well for years.
But the north, with its con-
servative-minded chieftains and
its own cherished traditions, has
Jagged behind the south and the
east in political development.
The north is typif1ed by Kano,
the mud-walled city where two
worlds meet-the Kano, which is
the ancient market place of
Northwest Africa and the camel
trains" from the desert, and
the Kano of the international
airport.
1t is in the south and the east
that you will find political fervor
and demand for independence
a demand of which the north is
suspicious. The north will not
be hurried. The south, under
the impetus of a fiery, dynamic
British-educated barrister and
chain newspaper proprietor, DR..
Nnamdi Azikiwe (Zik), says:
1.-THE Gold Coast are getting in
dependence. Why not us?"
"zik" is in London for the
conference, and you may be sure
he will make his presence felt.
Erratic. a man of impulses and
sometimes violent dialectics, he
is also politically shrewd and a
flrSt-claSs organizer.
For years he was the only real
political leader in Nigeria. He
had setback when, in the 1851
elections, his National Commit
tee of Nigeria and the Cameroons
was beaten by the Action group.
Some said that "Zik" was "fin-
ished.' But in the crisis of
March last year, when the Action
Party demanded independence by
1856, DR.. Azikiwe made a come
back by supporting the Action
group against the north.

British Grant Irish Request
For Body of Roger Easement

LONDON, Aug. 10 (NANA) -
The remains of Roger Easement,
Irish Nationalist who tried to
enlist German support in World
War I to get independence for
Ireland, are to be returned to the
country of his birth.
He was executed for treason at
Pentonville Prison in 1916.
Great pressure has been
brought to bear to get the body
of Casement-knighted for his
services to Britain, only to be
stripped Of the honor after his
conviction as a traitor-trans-
ferred to Ireland.
Sean O'Kelly. president of Ire
land, made personal appeal to
Sir Winston Churchill.
The Home Secretary, Sir David
Maxwell Fyfe, told the Commons
only last month that he did not
propose to return the body.
Now he has given the order
that Ireland's wish be granted.
The governor of Pentonville
was called to the home Office
with a plan of the "Potter's
Field" at Pentonville where
scores of murderers lay in I'M
marked graves. The location of
each is marked on the governors
plan-kept locked in a safe at
Pentonville.
Easement is almost certainly
buried with three murderers.

Nigeria and Britain
Thrash Out CoIony's
Future in Par|eys

LONDON, Aug. 10 (NANA) -
Picturesquely garped leaders Of
Nigeria, Britain's largest colony,
are trying to thrash out an
agreed plan for the future of
their country with Britain's
colonial secretary. Oliver Lyttel-
ton, and his advisers in London.
In a few weeks the picture of
Nigeria's future may be a little
clearer. At the moment it is
vague and complicated. For
here is not the usual colonial
picture Of one side demanding
self-government and the other
side saying mot yet," but half of
Nigeria wanting the British Gov
ernment to grant self govern
ment within three years, and the
other half saying: Postpone a
decision. We are not ready for
it,"
Britain is committed to paving
the way to Self-government for
the colony, but in the circum-
stances London cannot feel at
all happy about a policy that
may split the colony in two and
possibly lead to civil war.

you see a mosaic-a mosaic of

In considering the claims put
forward by various governments,
the Berlin conference took little
account of natural tribal group
lngs. Lines were drawn on a
map and sometimes a territorial
boundary went through the mid
die OF tiny village.
Nigeria consists of several
hundred tribal groupings, but,
generally speaking, they all be-

main tribes. In the north are

Tragedy's Little Girl
Now Catching Up
With Lost Childhood
By the Asseeiofsd Press

SEAROY, Ark, Aug. 19.-Shir-
ley Bryant, who at IL has lived
through a lifetime of tragedy,
is catching up with a lost child
hood, thanks to a Nation with a
heart.
Even as very little girl, Shir-
ley was trying to fill a grown
ups shoes. Her mother and
father worked, and Shirley
mothered her six brothers and
sisters who weren't old enough
for school.
Then, just before Christmas
last year. her family was sud-
denly wiped out. Her father,
Hilton Bryant. started a wood
burning stove with kerosene one
morning. It exploded, leveling
their little frame home in the
Crystal Hill community near
Little Rock.
Lone Survivor.
Shirley was the only survivor.
Painfully burned, she spent
months in the hospital. And as
doctors and nurses used their
greatest skillS. a Little Rock
newspaper. the Arkansas Demo-
crat, went to work to provide
for her future.
The papers Shirley Bryant
Fund raised $4,000 from SYM
pathetic contributors all over
the Nation. E. j. Risley, the
Little Rock banker who is the
fund trustee, says that, with
interest. the money will see
Shirley comfortably through
college.
{, Today she is completely re-
covered from her critical in
sjpries. except for a scar on her
left arm which later will be re-.
moved by plastic surgery.
Headed for College.
And she's launched on a road
which will lead to a college de-
gree.
Harding College at Searcy was
selected to carry out the educa-
tional plan.
Shirley came to Searcy last
May. and now lives with Mrs.
Pearl Dodd. a retired college
dietician living just off the
campus. This fall she'll be en-.
rolled in Harding Academy,
grammar and high school run by
the college.
But because she missed so
much school, first mothering her
younger brothers and sisters and
then in the hospital. the little
girl has been receiving special
tutoring from faculty member
to prepare her to enter the
seventh grade.
What seems even more pleas
ant is that, at last, Shirley has
time to play. Sheseven went to
camp tor a couple of weeks, has
learned to swim, and-says Mrs.
Dodd, "she seems to spend all
her spare time swimming or
riding her bicycle"
