1t was a gloomy Christmas for the
aging fugitive whose 29-year-old
wife expects an addition to the
family in January
Mayberry, serving sentence of
one to 20 years for manslaughter,
escaped Parchman in 1887.
Preacher, as he is known best to
his friends and co-workers with
whom he loads banana boats, told
arresting police that not since 1880
when he got into the fight which
caused him to be sent to prison
has he been in any trouble.
Preacher is not an ordained min
lister, but because Of the little ser
mons which he breaches to his
friends on the river he has earned
for himself the reverend title.
In the neighborhood where he
has lived for the past two years
with his wife, "Preacher" is held
in high esteem. In fact, neighbols
feel that rehabilitation in Mayberry
has been accomplished.
Getting back to the trouble which
led to Mayberry's arrest, the latter
said that he got into a fight with
two other men one Of whom had a
gun. Mayberry disarmed one of
his attackers and shot him. Then
came the sentence Of 20 years.
Working as a prison trusty. at
Parchman, Preacher said that two
prisoners under his care escaped
and for this he was beaten by
guards. He then made up his mind
to run away too, he said.
When taken into custody the
long sought for man readily ad-
mitted his identity and waived ex-
tradition, agreeing to return to
prison.

later had conferred with the at
tOrney for the Board, but after all
these steps had been taken the
sheriff still refused to accept
money for poll tax payment from
Negro citizens.
Under Mississippi law, the poll
tax, a prerequisite to voting must
be paid during the month of Janu-
AIRY or on the first day of Fehru-
AIRY each year.
In order to vote a citizen must
have paid his poll tax for two con-
secutive years before he can vote,
and it is held generally in the
state that the poll tax must be paid
in the same manner before citizen
is allowed to register as a voter.
According to report the group
was advised that a mandamus suit
to compel the sheriff to perform
his duties as the sheriff and tax
collector Of the County would be
their most effective action.
Further reports indicated that
the mandamus suit would be filed
before the end Of the month unless
there was a change in the attitude
of the sheriff.
In the group which came here
was a prominent Funeral Home
owner, among the larger individual
taxpayers Of the County; several
other business men and successful
farmers and ministers Of the
County.

NEW YORK (GlobaD-It seems
impossible these days for sportS
writer's to do a colmun of any size
at all without mentioning the hot
test topic in either League at the
moment = Roy Campanella. After
reams and reams written about
Campy as a prize catcher, big hit
ter, and all around nice guy, it
seems the boys in the press box
can't ever finish with him. Just the
other day he came up with a new
record for catchers in the National
League, with 125 runs batted in.
The previous record was held joint
ly by Gabby Hartnett and Walker
Cooper with 122 each. Now Campy
is going for the major league rec
ord held by Bill Dickey of the
Yankees, which was 133. He just
could make some sort of home run
record, too. He now has "a and
with about a month more to go, he
could go on another rampage like
the one his fans enjoyed in the
early part of the season when he,
at one opint, had topped Babe
Ruth's record for that time of the
season. Quite guy, this Campy,
and he will have to be reckoned
with in choosing this years Most
Valuable Player. If he makes it.,
that will be twice for the roly poly
Brooklyn star.
Ever wonder what happened to
Chalky Wright, who won the
worlds Featherweight title in 1941
and then went on to bigger and
better things until he was defeated
by Willie Pep in November of 1857? +?
He's now managing young Mexi-
can fighter named Dave Gallardo
from Los Angeles. Chalky is
grooming his protege in the hope
that soon he will be rewarded with
a match with Willie Pep, the one
man who handed him his bitterest
defeats Chalky tried three times to
regain his title from Pep but was
not successful. 1t has been bitter
pill for Wright to swallow. and
now that his dreams for himself
are over. he has transferred his de-
sires to his young protege, and
hopes the young Mexican can sat-
isfv his illustration.

Getting
Along
BY LAUREEN WHITE

NEW YORK, (GlobaD-It isn't
always easy to determine exactly
what person means by what he
says. The habit of using euphem-
isms to hide harshness disguises
the meaning of a statement. Con-
slider some of the statesments made
by Robert B. Anderson, Secretary
of the Navy last May.
The White House asked Mr.. An
derson about the Navy's racial pol
icy and among other things. Mr..
Anderson stated that segregation
had been followed over many
years by the Navy and was a prac-
tical answer to the problem" which
his department cannot correct by
edict. The Secretary continued
with, Noncompliance with local
practices would lead to disruptive
employee relations, and an ulti-
mate break down of efficiency ac-
companied by lower production"
Now, when one reads exactly
what Secretary Anderson stated,

ranville's day when some real loaf
ers operated.
Maybe Rabbit is just forgetful.
He mentions pampered players, but
he has not a word for the many
who work hard at their tasks.
There are players who play with
broken ribs, as Earl Torgeson did,
who knock themselves out as EnoS
Slaughter does and Pete Reiser did.
There are unqualified great play
ers like Stan Musial, Jackie Rob
inson and Roy Campanella.
Maybe today's stars would be
better if they practiced twice a,
day as Rabbit says he did. But in
your day, Rabbit, you could play
those o'clock games and call it
day by five. Ever try playing a twi-
night double-header, running for
train in the early morning hour
and rattle over the railroad beds
for a few hours before getting out
to a park for a 1:30 game the next
afternoon? No, you didn't"
Guess Rabbit will think a couple
of times before he jumps next time.
Arizona sun., 1953-09-11

it doesn't appear so negative. But
let's consider what it could mean:
First, let us establish the fact
that the Secretary is fairly we'll
informed man and is aware Of
three things: l. That Negroes are
treated unfairly at us. Naval
bases and segregation and discrimi-
nation make it very easy to con-
tinue unfair treatment; 2. That
America loses prestige in world al
fairs when we do not practice the
democracy we preach, and 3. There
would have been very little pro-
gress in the world if the informed
and enlightened of the world had
allowed the uniformed and unen-
lightened to be in control.
Since Mr.. Anderson was well
aware of the above facts, he was
actually telling the world that he
knew Negroes were treated un-
fairly at us. naval bases. He was
admitting that the us. Govern
ment has yielded to the backward
policies Of unprogressive communi-
ties as regards social justice for
Negroes. Our Secretary was stat
ing that the US. government that
had the power to take millions of
men away from their homes and
send them all over the world to
fight for democracy, couldn't make
democracy work at home.
Mr.. Anderson was saying that he
knew that the system under which
Negroes live denies them proper
education, proper housing, proper
hospital facilities, promises eight
years less of life as compared with
other Americans. He also knew
that the people of the US. look to
the government for guidance and
they are inclined to initiate what
the government does However, Mr..
Anderson said enough to give the
undemocratic members of these
prejudiced communities a green
light to continue their practices.
President Eisenhower recently
issued an order for the Navy to end
segregation on naval bases. Per-
haps it was good thing that the
Secretary of the Navy made such
rash statements concerning the
Navy's racial policy. 1t led to an
avalanche of protests by many
alert organizations that believe in
democracy. The leaders of these or
CARNATIONS were capable of cor
rectly interpreting Secretary An
derson's statements.
1t is not sufficient to say that pres
sure groups are responsible for the
change because there have always
been pressure groups. The new or
der isl n keeping with President
Eisenhower's promise to secure
equality for all citizens in every
government department and agen-
cyD
It is only when we are able to-
understand what people mean. de-
spite their euphemiStic language,
that we are able to oppose, COM
bat and correct what they intend
to do.
