Clyde E.. Ball Should Learn Fate
From Three Top Officials, Thursday

Clyde G. Ball, who has been
held in the Noble county jail
since Jan. 6 under an assault and
battery charge, while officials
investigated the mystery sur
rounding the death of his wife,
Mrs. Lucinda c. Ball, should
learn his fate today.
Prosecuting Attorney Fred F
Fox, Sheriff Donald Conaway
and Coroner DR.. N. S. Reed were
to confer Thursday on the
autopsy report received from
University hospital, Columbus,
and make a final decision rela-
tive to the case.
According to the complete
autopsy report received here, the
pathologists were unable to
determine the exact cause OF
death but said it did not result
from alcohol, drugs or hard
beating.
The coroner expressed his
opinion that no murder occurred
and that death was the result OF
shock and exertion caused by a
fight with her husband, at their
home on the night of Jan. 5.
Ball is now serving a 80 day
Jail sentence on an assault and

Taylor Bus Lines
Suspended TueSddy

The Taylor bus lines,
operating between WOOdsfield
and GAINESVILLE, made its last
run, Tuesday evening.
Howard Taylor, who took
over the LakeshOre line on
June 25, 1858, said today that
he was discOntinuing the ser
vice, due to lack of business.
The bus line operated be-
tween WoOdsfield and Cald-
well and thence to GAINESVILLE
at least three trips a day.
Disseminating the line
means that Caldwell is now
without direct service to
GAINESVILLE and ii will be
necessary to go the long way
around thru Cambridge.
This affects only the Taylor
bus line and does not change
any schedule of the Grey
hound buses.

pany plant if applied to their
particular job,
Realizing the absolute need to
cut the accident rate frequency
at the Caldwell plant, Manager
Matt Fleming offered the saw
ings bond as prize for the best
original safety slogan submitted
during the contest.
During the past year, the
Caldwell plant has rated un-
usually high in accidents among
the Clevite Corporation opera
tions, and for that reason Man
ager Fleming is endeavoring to
have the safety program play a
major part in his scope of plant
planning. Mr.. Fleming contends
that many accidents have oc-
Cured due to careless pre-
occupation, and this has resulted
in many unnecessary hours lost
to the employees.
In view of the fact that Man
ager Fleming is conscientiously
safety-mindcd, he proposes to
have the Caldwell accepted
safety slogan prominently dis
played thruout the entire plant
as a reminder to each and every
employee.
Miss Caldwell is employed in
the washer department as a
quality control inspector on the
first shift. She is the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Okey Caldwell,
of Sharon.

NAACp Sci 10 Sue
School Boards That
BaIk Segregation
Blythe Associated Press

DALLAS. June %. = The
leader of the Negroes anti
segregation battle has indicated
his organization will stand for
no trifling with the Supreme
Courts school decision.
Thurgood Marshall. special
counsel, says the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement
of Colored People will go to
court against local school boards
which balk.
Mr.. Marshall arrived yester-
day from New York for the an
nual national convention of the
NAAPC in this segregated city.
He was a powerful factor in the
May II decision of the Supreme
Court, which outlawed Segrega-
ton in public schools.
He pointed out that some
Southern Governors have been
seeking ways to nullify the
courts decision.
while the Governors want to
circumvent the Supreme Court, ["
Mr.. Marshall said, I'VE are going
to circumvent the Governors. -.
Calls Suits Last Resort.
"since the Supreme Court
spoke. there is no use lisenting
to anybody else.
I'm suits, if they have to be
filed, the school boards will be
the defendants"
However, he would not deny
pro-segregation Governors the
right to speak out against the
courts ruling. He said he favors
court action to compel admission
of Negroes to schools only as a
final resort.
Today, Mr.. Marshall was dis
cussing with other Negro lawyers
how to handle any possible suits.
The lawyers will confer with
State NAACP presidents tomor-
row. opening day of the six-day
convention.
Sees Peaceful IntegratiOn.
The lawyer said the conven-
ton this week will consider othe~
fields in which it will fight segre-
CATION. He mentioned transpor-
tation. housing, recreation and
employment. But, he added,
schools are most important to
me-"
He predicted that desegrega-
ton would be almost completely
peaceful.
Mr.. Marshall emphasized that
the Supreme Court ruling does
not compel people to associate
that it merely orders deSegrega-
ton.
Because of segregation in Dali
las, meetings will be held in
Negro churches and the Sporta-
forum, a wrestling arena. Many
delegates are being housed in
private homes.

Today, almost IS percent of all
NSLI policies are on permanent
plans.
The only CT life insurance which
may not be converted under pres
ent laws is the special five-year
nonconvertible term policy that is
issuable to veterans with service
since the start of the Korean hos
tilities.
All veterans who hold NSII
term insurance issued before April
rs, 1851, may convert these poll
cies to permanent plans of insur-
ance.
Those who convert pay the
same premium rate throughout the
premium-paying life of the policy.
Term policyholders, on the other
hand, pay at progressively higher
premium rates as they grow older.
Permanent plan policies provide
guaranteed values which term pol
icies do not. These guaranteed val
ues, which are available to veter-
ans after premiums have been paid
for one full year. include cash
surrender value, policy loan pro-
vision and reduced paid-up in
Surance.
VA said that thousands of term
policies, which have been permit
ted to lapse for non-paymcnt of
premiums when due but which are
still within the five year term
period, may be reinstated and con-
verified upon application to VA
before their terms expire. Veter-
ans may obtain full information
by writing to the VA office to
which they are mailing their
premiums.
Q-I am a Wolrd War III veter-
an. For the past several years I've
been holding permanent CT insur-
ance in an endowment plan. I'd
like to exchange it for a perman-
ent policy with lower premiums
and, of course, a lower reserve
value. If 1 do this, will have to
lose the extra reserve I've paid
into the old policy?
A-No. The difference between
the reserve on the old and new
policies, less any Indebtedness.
may be used to cover future prem
lums on your new policy. Or it
may be withdrawn in cash, if you
wish.
efficiently I made an invest
ment that netted me several humid
red dollars. Could l use this money
to pay off part of my CT housing
load? If so, will my lender charge
me a penalty for doing so? und-
erstand some do.
A-You may use the money to
pal off part of your CT loan, and
under the law, the lender may not
charge you penalty for doing so.
