N. c. Attorney General Joins
NAACP In Ingram Case Plea
Asks North Carolina State Supreme Court
To Review Assault By Leering" Case

NEW YORK, N. Y.-A sudden
turn in the NAACP's appeal to the
North Carolina State Supreme
Court to have the conviction Of
snarecropper Mack Ingram strick-
en- from the records was taken
Wednesday when h Attorney
Generals office joined the NAACP
in asking the states highest court
to review the case.
Mack Ingram was convicted in
November, 1852, and given six
months for assault by leering at"
a white farm girl from a distance
of IS feet. The six months sem
tence, was suspended.
Following his conviction, attOr-
neys for the NAACP filed an ap-
peal on the grounds that the con-
viction was in violation of both the
state and Federal constitutions.
In their brief, NAACP lawyers
attacked the systematic exclusion
of Negroes from the jury and the
vagueness of the statute under
which Ingram was convicted.
The Attorney Generals offic e
joining in this brief, did not ques-
ton the evidence or the verdict,
but did admit Ingram was denied
his constitutional right in that Ne
groes were excluded from the Cas-
we'll County jury since the CasWell
County jury list had been COM
piled from the registration books
of qualified voters which was in
violation of North Carolina law.
The State Supreme Court ruled
years ago that the only qualifica-
ton for jury service was the pay
ment of taxes, good character and
intelligence.
The Chief Counsel for the MA
ACP, Thurgood Marshall, pointed
out that in all of the years in
which the NAACP has fought for
justice in criminal cases, this is
the first time states Attorney
General has Joined with NAACP

WASHINTON, D. C.--Price con-
trolls are still necessary to prevent
prices rising over broad areas Of
the national economy, according
to Joseph H. Freehill, Director Of
the Office of Price Sterilization.
II think it can be safely said that

This would represent an average
of about $50 annually for every

a family of five.
F'reehill and the price pressures

An increase of 4 per cent in

Prices are also pressing ceilings,

NEW DATE FOR APPEAL

NEW DATE FOR APPEAL
Argument for appeal of the con-
viction of Walter Lee Irwin, twice
convicted defendant in the famous
Groveland rape" case, was post
poned last week until Tuesday,
February II, because of an injury
suffered by one of the lawyers of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
arguing the case.
The appeal was scheduled for
hearing before the Florida Su-
preme Court Tuesday, January II,
but was postponed when Attorney
Alex Alderman of Orlando, Fla,
suffered a hip injury when he was
getting off the plane here on his
way to the court house. Slated to
argue the case with him were
Thurgood Marshall, NAACP Spe-
cial Counsel, Jack Greenberg of
New York and Paul Perkins of Or
ldndO, Fla.
Irwin was originally convicted in
1949 along with Samuel Shepherd
and Charles Greenlee for the rap
ing of a white farm wife. Irwin
and Shepherd were given death
sentences and Greenlee, then 16,
given life Imprisonment. Shepherd
was shot to death and Irwin was
seriously injured by the Sheriff
en- route to the new trial on No
venlber 6, 1851.
At this second trial Irwin was
again sentenced to death. NAACP
lawyers cited twenty-five errors
committed by the court in the
second trial.

CHURCH is PROUD
OF ITS PROMINENT
ARMY Nj f. M B E r S

A 118-year-old church in Brook
Ign, N. Y, proudly lists among
it's members some of the most
outstanding U. S. military leaders
of the past century.
Known as the "Church of the
Generals" St. Johns Protestant

of North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
cation forces in Europe and for
mer United Nations commander in

The famous naval member of the
church was admiral John B. Clitz
who, as a captain, defended New
York harbor against a possible
Confederate attack during the
Civil War.
General Slocum was among the
group who met at a Bay Ridge
farmhouse September 20, 1884, to
found a place of worship for men
at Fort Hamilton. At that time
he was colonel in the forts quar-
termaster department. Thirt y

from 1912 to 1847 when he was
stationed at Fort Hamilton. An,
