lass in the 1st Cavalry, 18th Reg

class in the 1st Cavalry, 18th Reg
iment, arrived in Korea in August,
1850. He was captured in the dis
astrous November push of the
same year when his unit gave out
of ammunition and was surround
ed" by the Reds.
He was wounded in three places,
two bullets in his leg, one in his
shoulder, but the Reds made him
walk for three horrible. nightmar-
ish weeks until they arrived at
Camp One, run by the North Ko-
reans. They stopped for few
hours at time, but mos of the
time they had to keep plodding
dong, Clarence said. Lots of the
soldiers died before they ever
reached Camp One and those that
survived this death march found
little to reward them in Camp One.
The treatment was bad-the food
was sorghum seed. They stayed
there only short time, few
weeks, and then they were pro-
noted to Camp Five.
Clarence doesn't know why he
was moved to the University.
There were several other Missis-
sippians, both white and colored
boys, who went there at the same
time. Here it was they met that
strange new phenomenon in ma
tional loyalties-the progressive"
who was not sure which side he
wanted to be on. According to the
story that Clarence relates the
progressive" (and he did not call
them progressives at that tlme)
posed problems that probably no
other American prisoners of war
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-10-24

have had to deal with-problems
OF their own countrymen squealing
on the regulars, problems OF see
ing those favored ones getting all
the cigarettes they wanted, all the
SAX they wanted, of doing just as
they pleased. For these colored
boys there was no digging bitches,
no punishment. For them-the
progressives-they only went to
school and listened to the lee
lures.
And there was plenty of Com
munist literature around for every
body. In fact, that's all there
was to read, and Clarence, a high
school graduate, said he saw lots
of books of communism and
plenty of the Daily Worker" He
was forced to read them, too, but
none of it changed his ideas about
coming back to mississippi and
home.
One time during his imprisOn-
ment Clarence and "a blond headed
boy from California" figured out
a way to escape. They got away,
and for two days hid out in the
mountains. Then they were re-
captured, and they knew that some
progressive had tattle-taled. When
they were brought back to the
camp they were tiled up for about
ten days" and they were beaten,
but they were never thrown in "the
hole" which happened to some
POWS.
Treatment would be better when
truce talks became more serious,
and quite often some of the pro-
gressives disappeared in the
night" Clarence never thought
anything had happened to them
because "if they had wanted to
shoot them, they would have done
IL llSHt III lIoIl Vi US.
Sometimes the situation at Camp
Five got so bad that the regulars
would try to figure out ways to
kill some Of the worst progressives.
They would be so fed up with the
way the progressives were treated,
that they could hardly stand it.
Clarence never really took part in
any intercamp violence-probably
because he just plain wanted to
come home and didn't want to
take chance on anything keep
ing him from coming home if the
war ever ended.
And he did get home-on stretch
er and straight to hospital. He
arrived in the United States over
month ago, but got home just
about ten days ago. He has to
go back to Camp Sampson Hospital

in the action of Mr. Barfield in
turning thumbs down on the Bates
Appointment.
Dr.. A. H. Mccoy, prominent
Parish Street Dentist, and Civic
Leader, who is Chairman of the
Advisory Committee of the Parish
Street Branch YMCA, said that fol
lowing his letter to the Board
turning down the Bates appoint
ment, he went to talk to Mr.. Bar
field about the matter, in an eff
tort to get him to change his stand
and that during the discussion Mr..
Barfield told him that Mrs. Bates
suit had some part in causing him
to turn down her husband for the
job as Executive Secretary Of the
Parish Street Branch "Y".
AS the news of the action of
Nh. Barfield spread through the
Negro community Of the city there
was a growing opinion that his
action is going to have a serious
effect on the future operation and
good work of the Parish Street
Branch YMCA. Among Negroes in
Jackson there is nothing that has
begun to arouse their resentment
like the feeling that only that
Negro selected by the White PEG
pie is capable Of giving the right
kind of leadership to the Negroes
of the City
The action of Mr.. Barfield has
also aroused deep feelings and re
sentiment from members Of tht
Board, a number of whom are re-
ported as ready to resign rather
than serve as a member of the
Board having only the name of au-
thority, but with no real authority
in fact. One member of the Board
who asked that his name be with
held at present said that it would
be better that Negro Children and
young men play in the street and
fields than be led by some time
serving, "Uncle Tom" hat-in- hand
Negro, satisfying only to the White
Board members, while posing as
Executive Secretary Of the Parish
Street Branch.
In a meeting of the Board Mon
day afternoon, according to re
/ ports, the question arose concerning
| the status of the Parish Street
YMCA. 1t was pointed out that
under the present set-up the Parish
Street YMCA is neither branch
nor an independent set~up, being
more Of an affiliate of the Central
! YMCA Of which Mr.. Barfield is
the Executive Secretary. A MAORI
ty of the members of the Board
are said to favor an immediate
move for an independent status OF
that of a true YMCA BRANCH.
The future action of the Board
of Management in regard to the
matter is said to depend on the re-
ply made by Mr. Barfield to a
letter sent by the Board following
the Monday Meeting.
The members of the Board OF
Management of the Parish Street
Branch YMCA are as follows: Prof
B. B. Dansby, Chairman, Rev. A
B. Keeling, Sec'y. and Messers

Ala. Civil Rights
Case To Get Fed.
Court Hearing

Mobile, Ala, Oct. l9.-1rial was
scheduled at Mobile yesterday for
three Alabama lawmen charged
by a Federal grand jury with vio-
lating the civil rights of Negro
woman.
The three men, Choctaw County
Sheriff Ourvin M. Covington and
Deputies Otis wainwright and Harry
Leon Clark, Jr., entered pleas of
innocent before Federal Judge
Daniel H. Thomas.
Judge Thomas said that trial Of
The three men would be held some
time during the term Of Federal
:ourt beginning on Nov. 16.
The Federal Grand Jury alleged
that Covin"ton and the deputies
beat the Negro woman, Mallie
Pearson, with clubs, sticks and a
belt, in order to force her to con-
TESS to, or supply information
about a crime. The indictment did
not describe the crime about which
the woman al!egedly was being
questioned.

Maintaining their lead in the Railbelt Conference, the Anchor age High School basketball team defeated the Palmer Moose 44-32 in rather one-sided game played in Anchorage January IT.
 Exceptional defensive work by the Anchorage Eagles kept the Palmer boys from effective plays in trying to work the ball into scoring position many times throughout the game. Not having made a point during the first quarter, forward Jack McKechnie scored IA points for his team in ;he last three quarters of the game:
