Phenix City Jury
Recessed as State
Ends lis Testimony
BY the Asseeioied Press

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. Feb. 26.
The jury trying Albert Fuller
for the murder of State Attorney
General candidate A. L. Patter-
son at Phenix City was given a
long weekend recess today as
the State finished its testimony.
The recess followed testimony
by the last two of A State wit
nesses, who agreed on a story
vital to the States case.
Judge j. Russell McElroy
granted a defense motion to re-
sumo at 9 am. Tuesday, but later
asked the defense to try to be
ready by Monday afternoon.
Roderick Beddow. chief of De-
fense counsel, said he saw little
chance of being ready before
Tuesday.
Cecil Padgett, young construc-
ton crew foreman and the
States chief witness. and his
wife Mrs. Edith Padgett, were
the days only witnesses.
All Former Officials.
Mr.. Fuller is one of three
former officials charged with
Staying Mr.. Patterson, last June
%. The others, both awaiting
trial, are Arch Ferrell, ex-prose-
cutor at Phenix City, and former
Alabama Attorney General Si
Garrett. the man Mr.. Patterson
would have succeeded.
The prosecution contends that
Mr.. Patterson, pledged to wipe
out Phenix City's multimillion
dollar vice and gambling empire,
was slain to prevent him from
carrying out that promise.
Fuller was chief deputy sheriff
at Phenix City when Mr.. Patter-
son was shot down. The chubby
ex-offcer was placed directly on
the parking lot with Mr.. Patter-
son at the time of the shooting,
by the construction worker.
Mr.. Padgett testified he saw
Fuller and Mr.. Patterson walking
toward the lot; that Fuller had
a pistol in his holster. and that
Fuller and Ferrell were standing
by the Patterson automobile
few seconds after the shots were
heard and then bolted for the
back of the lot and out of sight.
Describes Position.
Mr.. Padgett. asked where were
they standing when you looked
around after hearing the shots?"
said Fuller was leaning against
the halfopened car door, with his
left hand on it, and Ferrell was
standing beside him.
Previous testimony had shown
that Fuller's fingerprints were on
that door. The defense, which
has announced it would claim an
alibi, revealed in cross-examina-
ton it would contend Fuller had
to enter the car to remove a

man between the time Mr. Pat
terson was shot and the finger.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j.. Feb.
26. - AFL President George
Meany said today the Govern
ment should help States in the
South meet their expenses in
ending racial segregation in pub

But he said not penny should
go to States trying. to evade the
Supreme Court decision and pre-
serve the archaic doctrine of
segregation"
In speech to meeting Of the
Jewish Labor Committee, Mr..
Meany said many Southern
Communities face heavy ex-
penses in switching from sep
arate facilities for Negro and
white children to joint system
for both.
THE Federal Government
should help" he said. Such aid
would. in turn. speed the carry
ing-out of the court decision that
school segregation is unconsti-
tutional.
On the other hand, he said,
the AFL is absolutely opposed"
to any aid to States trying to
evade the decision by turning
"the public school system into a
private school system"

'Shakedown
QuiizPressed
By the Associated Press

The Senate Investigations
subcommittee said yesterday it
is examining new charges of
"shakedowns and graft" in Gov
ernment spending.
Robert F. Kennedy, chief
counsel to the subcommittee, told
reporters staff investigators have
started interviewing informants
who claim to have evidence of
many cases of corrupt practices
in dealings between Army Quar-
termaster Corps employees and
contractors.
He said the complaints were
made in letters from eight or
10 persons. and deal with bribes
some of the writer's contend they
were forced to pay in shake
downs" Others, he said, come
from former Quartermaster
Corps employees who claim
knowledge of "payoffs" in which
they were not involved.
The informants, he. said, all
offered their information after
reading about the subcommittee's
investigation of alleged graft
in the buying of clothing for
the armed forces.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat,
of Arkansas. presiding at the
inquiry, says it already has
shown that "a nest of small
grafters" reaped improper profits
from contracts for uniform
clothing handled by the Quar-
termaster Procurement Office in
New York. That inquiry Is in
recess until Wednesday.

FIesch Is Correct

Congratulations! BY printing
replies to the book by DR.. Ru-
dolf Flesh, "Why Johnny
Can't Read" you have well DEM
onstrated that DR.. Flesch's criti-
cisms apply to teaching methods
in our local schools. Modern"
educators assume that pupils
start with "tabula rasa. a"
whereas even the 4-year-old has
respectable vocabulary Ito
which the written word merely
needs to be related.
Vocabularies need to be en-
larged, but only after the prin-
ciple of correspondence between
the written and spoken word
has been firmly established. DR.,
Flesch is correct in charging
that this principle is not the
cornerstone of modern methods
of reading instruction.
The inane claim that we
used phonetics too" Is a sur
prising response for a group Of
Phi. DIS in the educational field;
but then perhaps they do not
realize that in practice no fun
damental method is taught in
most schools these days.

Schools Have Improved
To the Editor.

10 the Editor:
1t is true that some languages
are more easily adapted to pho
netic analysis (sounding out let
ters and letter combinations .
English is different. Each letter
does not stand for a certain
sound. Children learn to
read not only by phonetics but
by several other methods as we'll.
Some words are easily learned by
context. For example, 1.-THE dog
wags its -" Why spend
minutes sounding out each let
ter when the word tail Is OBJ
vious?
Some children learn by OBJ
serving the shape or configura-
tion of a word. Sometimes pic
ture clues are helpful. Some
children learn to, spell, which is
closely related to reading, by
literally feeling or tracing over
the letters. A skillful teacher will
employ several or all methods
because she well knows the
value of meaningful repetition.
Proof to me that our educa-
tion program is doing a better
job than it was so years ago
is the terrific utilizing of our
libraries and postal system. Nom
readers do not visit libraries or
write letters.

Use V in Teaching
To The Editor

To The Editor:
I firmly believe that phonics
should be the common denomi-
nator of early school learning.
If our modern so-called "ex-
perts" desire, to modernize our
schools, one method would be by
more extensive use of television,
or movies with sound tracks.
Phonics would be a natural sub
ject to teach via this means. AL
most any child should be able
to learn by the end of grade one.
Then the child could really start
learning - mathematics, science.
music, history, literature, health.
etc.
I think what DR.. Flesch really
objects to is the stringing out
for five or six years something
which. If taught scientifically,
can be taught in one or two
years. The result is that our
high school graduates end up
approximately two years behind
the high school graduates in
civilized foreign countries. with
the further result that our COL
leges and universities must, of
necessity, be on a lower plane
than those of civilized foreign
countries.

Fourteen Republican Senators
Joined yesterday in a statement
announcing their support of
President Eisenhower's proposals
for speeding immigration under
the. 1853 Refugee Relief Act.
THE amendments suggested
by the President are designed
to relieve requirements which
have proved not only excessively
burdensome to administer but,
as the President points out,
often self-defeating in practice, "
they said.
Their statement was released
through the Office of Senator
Clifford P. Case. Republican. Of
New Jersey, after Representa-
tive Francis E. Walter. Demo-
crat, of Pennsylvania, a key
House figure in immigration
matters, predicted Congress
never would agree to President
Eisenhower's proposals for lib
eralizing the refugee law.
The act. pushed through the
previous Republican-controlled
Congress only after a bitter
struggle and then in~a form far
different from what Mr.. Eisen-
hover recommended, authorizes
the admission of up to 214,000
refugees and other non-quota
immigrants before the end of
next year.
Original Intent Noted
The law was intended primari-
ly to let persons who were up
rooted by the war or other dis
aster or who have escaped from
behind the Iron Curtain find new
homes in this country, in addi-
ton to persons admissible under
the regular immigration quotas.
Mr. Eisenhower, in urging Con-
gress Friday to make changes in
the law to speed the flow Of these
immigrants, said that by doing
so 1--WE shall again reaffirm that

the great tradition of sanctuary
lives on in America"
The IA Republican Senators
said a bill to carry out the Presi-
dents proposals will be intro
duced Tuesday. when Congress
reconvenes after the Memorial
Day holiday. 1--WE welcome the
opportunity to support it," they
said.
Despite their pledge of sup
port and favorable comment from
some other members of Con-
gress, both Republicans and
Democrats. plenty of controversy
will attend efforts to write the
Presidents proposals into law,
immigration legislation cuts
across party lines and has been
a continuing source of dispute
in Congress, as evidenced by the
passage of the basic McCarran-
Walter Act over former Presi-
dent Truman's veto and the diff
culties encountered by the Ref
ugee Relief Act.
Sees No Need for Change
Mr.. Walter, chairman of the
House judiciary Subcommittee
and co-author of the McCarran-
Walter Act. said In an interview
that the existing refugee pro-
gram "can work effectively with
in the framework of existing
law"
Calling the legislation urged
by Mr.. Eisenhower unnecessary,
he said ,"I don't think it will
ever be considered, and I doubt
II 1t will even come up in the
House"
In the Senate prospects were
bright for prompt committee
hearings on the legislation
whatever the final fate of the
Presidents proposals.
The Republican Senators who
pledged their support, in addition
to Case, were Allott of Colorado,
Beall Of Maryland, Bender of
Ohio. Bush Of Connecticut, Carl
son Of Kansas, Dirksen of nli-
nois, Duff of Pennsylvania,
Flanders Of Vermont, Ives Of
New York, Saltonstall Of Massa-
