Harvest Time Brings
Chances Of Accidents

Farm people suffer more acci-
dents during harvest season than
at any other time of the year. To
help avoid harvest accidents, the
nation is now observing National
Farm Safety Week, July "a to 80.
Be especially careful during the
rush of harvest, when the chances
for accidents mount rapidly. Har-
vesting is a season when too many
farmers get in so big a hurry that
they fail to take necessary eau
tion.
First step for safe operation of
harvesting machinery is to put it
into good condition before the 'har-
vest begins. This>means that seats.
controls, steps and the mechanics
of the machine should be in good
repair Shields or other safety
guards must be in place before the
machine is taken to the field.
So save yourself and your pock-
etbook by following these few
safety rules:
/. Always be alert; never take a
chance.
2. Keep all shields and safety
guards in place.
3. Always stop all machinery be-
fore oiling, adjusting or unclogging
it.
4. Do not wear loose or ragged
clothing around machines.
5. Always operate your tractor at
safe speed, and be extra careful
with tractors and other machines
on highways.
6. Keep small children far away
from harvesting machinery.
z. Do not jump off equipment
while it is moving.
8. Obey highway rules and signs,
and use proper headlights and tail
lights at night. Whenever possible,
keep off the highways at night with
farm machinery.

All-White Jury Acquits Pair in Negro Boy Killing

SUMNER, Miss, R-An all- white jury, composed mainly of Delta cotton farmers, acquitted two white storekeepers of the murder of a 14-year-old Chicago Negro boy Friday, but the half brothers spent the night in a neighboring county jail.
 Roy Bryant, A, and John Mi lam, 36, still face charges of kid daping Emmett Louis Till from the sharecropper shack in Leflore County where he was vacationing with his uncle, Nose Wright.
 The two men were tried in Tal- lahatchie County because a bat tered, bullet pierced body-buried as Till's, but later rejected by the .jury-was fished from the muddy Tallahatchie River inside the county line.
 Jury Foreman J. A. Shaw said identification of the body was the deciding factor in the l hour ' minute deliberation that resulted in an innocent verdict on the third ballot.
 "The verdict is as shameful as it is shocking" said the National Assn. for the Advancement of Col ored People. ''The jurors who re- turned it deserve medal from the Kremlin for meritOrious ser vice in Communism war against Democracy"
 Bryant and Milan spent the night in the Leflore County jail when their attorneys differed with state officers over the amount of bond needed for their release un- der the kidnap charges.
 The quiet announcement of the verdict came as an climax to the ringing oratory of summing up arguments that held jury and audience in rapt attention.

REED OPPOSES TAX CUTS

The chief Republican spokesman on taxes in Con- gresS Representative Daniel A. Reed of New York, says tax relief next year would be premature"
 Reed, the senior Republican member and former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, says the present outlook for world peace and the homie position in the United States does not warrant an immediate tax cut Reeds comments are interesting in view of recent statement by Secretary of the Treasury George Humphrey.
 Humphrey said that balanced budget "can' be achieved if certain economics are made, and if good business assures heavy tax collections Humphrey said projected deficit of $ 70000O0 900 could be wiped out by economies and gherthan-expected tax collections.
 Reed believes the economic position of the govern ment is improving but doubts that the present nerna- tonal situation ustifies tax cut He says there is little prospect of substantial reduction in military expendi- tures which now running well $30 billion, and believes that until military expenses be cut taxes cannot be reduced.
 It is almost certain that Reed will run into major opposition, from both partes in the next session of Congress, many members of which want to vote tax cuts in election year. The Republicans would like both to balance the budget and cut taxes; and Demo- crats who tried to cut taxes last year will not want to oppose such cuts in election year.

Lyng's Death Leaves Legal Issue on Write-ins

Continued from Page One) gates seat. He did not submit a nominating petition with the re- quired number of signatures, as required by law. That fact alone might eliminate him from cOnsid- eration for the vacancy.
 On the other hand, Walsh did receive the next highest number of votes, even though his name was not on the ballot.
 The convention election was governed by the Alaska law, which sets forth how ballots should be prepared. The law spec flies that the official ballot of a general election (and the Sept. IS special election was conducted under the same procedure) shall provide spaces equal to the num- Der of candidates for an office "upon which the voter may write the names of persons for whom he desires to vote and whose names are not printed on the ballot
 The Constitutional Convention election ballots were printed ac- cordingly, with the proper num- Der of blank spaces for write-ins.
 It would appear that the intent of the law governing elections was drafted ain such manner as to provide an opportunity for the election to office of those persons who have not filed. nominating petitions.
 The territorial Attorney Gener- al's Office is pondering the ques- tion now and is trying to decide how to advise Gov. Heintzleman Ia to what he should do regarding the Lyng vacancy.
 Apparently. the Attorney Gen. erals Office has three ways in which it can advise in it's draft of the opinion requested by the gov ernor::
 l. It can advise that Heintzle- man call a special election.
 2. It can advise that the govern  or declare Walsh legally entitled to fill the Lyng vacancy.
 3. Or it can advise the governor to declare the seat permanently vacant.
 At any rate, the question still remains: are write-in votes valid or not?

Bronson Writes Indignant Letter To Heintzleman
 Over Board Appointments

Representative Lester Bronson of this division has requested publication of this letter showing his indignation at no appointment having been made for Second Division member of the Board of Road Commissioners to replace Ben Young of Nome.
 Gov. Heintzleman,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 Sir:
 The Representatives and Sen ators of the Second Division here in Nome have watched your eff forts in the appointments and re- appointments to various boards presented to the 22nd Legislature. We are frankly disappointed that you did not follow the recommen- dations of the elected body from this division. They were very clear and concise. There was but one change requested and the name for replacement was put be- fore you. It has been brought to our attention that you have of fered this position to another in dividual.
 Personally I wonder who guides this decision of yours to disre- gard the wishes of representatives of any part of the Territory. This attitude of Alaska's executive de- partment indicates that real AL askans shall be more determined to have statehood as quickly as possible for more direct compli- ance to their majority wishes.
 If you remember, sir, the only change requested was on the Board of Road Commissioners. This was the decision of the ma jority of the elected body and if your advisers indicate that you should deviate from our recom- mendations I think that you should fire the bunch and find more suitable replacements.
 Most sincerely,
 Lester Bronson
