Negro Is Slain
Near TylertoWn

A Marion County Negro was
killed Saturday night after an
alteration with a white man, al
legedly over the attempted pur-
chase of beer.
According to Marion County
Sheriff J. V. Polk, Sedgie Forbes,
resident of the Sandy Hook COM
munity, near the Louisiana line,
stated that the Negro, S. L. Marks,
also of the Sandy Hook area, came
to his home around IL pm. Satur-
day and asked that he be sold
beer.
Forbes stated he told the Negro

he did not have any beer a.
that Marks insisted he did. Forh
declared he eventually got a e
and shot at the Negro and t
Negro returned the fire, then g
into his car and fled.
Sheriff Polk said that Forh
stated he got into his own pick
and followed the Negro until
car ran out of gas and then 81
him, after the Negro climbed
fence and fell near the roadside.
A group of Negroes took Mar
to Tylertown, but he was dead
arrival there, the sheriff said.

place in the South's attempts to
solve the Indignation. problem.
Virginians serving on this in

Dabney, editor of the Richmond
Times-Dispatch, chairman of the
reporting service board; P. B.
| Young, editor of the Norfolk Jour
nal and -Guide, and H. I. Willett,
superintendent, Richmond City
Schools.
Pulling no punches, the speaker
took several verbal shots at GER
tain states that he said were try
ing to find ways to circumvent the
Supreme Courts decision. Such
tactics he declared are more or
less foolhardy and will soon come
to naught. what the people and
politicians must think on" the
Carolina educator said, "is the
best method to be used in trying
to comply with the Courts edict
not how it might be circumvent-
ed"
Near the end of his address, the
professor, in humorous vein,
took the States Of Georgia and
South Carolina to task for their
resistance to the Courts ruling.
He said these states reminded him
of story he had heard concern
ing two DRINKS who were stagger-
tng, falling and crawling along a
railroad track. Said one to the
other, "These are the longest stairs
I've ever tried to climb" The
other piped up, "T'aint the length
of these stairs that l mind, but
its trying to git grip on these
durn low handrails that's bother
ing me-" South Carolina and
Georgia are all mixed up" Black
we'll said.
Commenting on Louisiana's re-
cent passage of legislation to per-
NIT the use of the States police
poowers to bar Indignation in its
schools, DR.. Blackwell predicted
that such legislation would be
quickly nullified once it comes be-
fore the High Court.
He concluded his dynamic talk
with the observation that the peo-
pie themselves seem to be much
farther advanced in their thinking
on the integrated school problem
than are many politicians. He
predicted that migrating the
races in the South's schools would
gradually be accomplished and that
such an accomplishment will not
unduly hasten mingling of the
races socially in Dixie.
More than 1000 persons were
in attendance at the night session.
Among them were a number of
Negro educators which included
several prominent officials of the
Virginia Teachers Association.
They were Mr.. E. w. Woodson,
president; DR.. J. Rupert Picott,
executive secretary; DR.. Cooper, of
Hampton Institute and the Rev.
R. T. Evans.
DR.. Blackwell was accorded
generous amount of applause from
the apPreciative and highly at

 Dver Kay Antonsen reported dis .oyery of the 14S-ft. craft by drag sng. He said he confirmed it's iden- ity by diving into the icy 16O-foot ieep waters of Sumner Strait this week
 The tug sank while towing a barge of zine ore southward. The barge wreckage. broken into nine pieces, is on the shore more than mile away.
 Antonsen has been seeking the sunken tug since if sank in the April storm One body was found shortly after the sinking. He re= ported his dragging gear hit the Chelan several days ago, but he was unable to confirm his discovery until quiet water permitted him to dive at the scene.
 He reported it was too dark on the bottom to see much, but he found Che Chelan sitting on it's keel with a 4O-degree list. No deck ear go was in sight
 Antonsen's agent here, Dean Hamlin. notified Frank Water house Co.,, in Vancouver, which i. expected to fly agents here. 1t is be- ieved here it might possibly buy the salvage rights from Antonsen.
 Expecting 10 make an attempi to recover any bodies remaining in the hulk, Antonsen has arranged tentatively to use rigging seows from a cannery to lift the tugboat enough to drag it to shallow water
