Fla. Governor
Re-checking
Irwin Case

Tallahassee, Fla, June 28.-New
evidence in the notorious Groveland
rape case of '49 has caused Cover
nor Leroy Collins to order an Of
fetal check on it. Key Negro cit
liens appeared before the State
Pardon Board stating how they
were convinced of the innocence of
Walter Lee Irwin, one of four Ne
groes accused Of raping a young
white housewife in Groveland. The
incident set off a series of repris-
ais against Negroes in the area.
New evidence consisted of state
ments by the local doctor that no
evidence Of rape could be found
on the young housewife. This i'm
pressed the Governor as he said
that attorneys interested in the case
had told him that no medical tes-
timony had been produced by the
state that rape actually occurred.

Washington, d. c., June 81
According to . Picking broadcast
to Southeast Asia, Europe and
North America, two Of nineteen
former United Nations soldiers
who are staying in Communist
China and took part in = press
conference are colored Americans.
Stay In China
The press conference followed
an address by a spokesman Of the
Red Cross Society Of China an
nouncing that five Of the twenty
two United States and British SOL
diers and three Belgian soldiers
who had elected to stay in China
were being sent home.
Three of the five were Americans
and were among the twenty-three
Americans who refused repatria-
ton after lengthy Explanations"
carried out in Korea in 1863 under
the terms Of the Korean armis-
tice.
The three Americans in the
group who were scheduled to leave
China, are Lewis w. Griggs, Jack
sonville, Texas; Ohio G.. Bell,
Olympia, Washington, and William
A. Cowart of Dalton, Georgia.
Two Belgians also were scheduled
to leave China.
The Picking radio said the nine
teen former UN soldiers who are
staying in China said they felt
sorry that the five men were leav-
ing.
One of the colored Americans,
Larance Sullivan VISA quoted as
having said he was very much i'm
pressed by the spirit of interna-
tionalism shown by the Chinese
Red Cross. He was reported as
having said that as colored Amer.
lean he enjoyed full freedom in
living among the Chinese.
Referring to the three Americans
who came to China with the group
and were leaving the country, Sui.
livan allegedly expressed the hope
that they would tell the people
back home that the American.
staying in China are both physic
ally and spiritually well and lead
ing a happy life.
Clarence Adams, the other col
ored American, was reported a
having told those present at tn
conference that as a colored Amer

against and oppressed in the Unite,
States, but now in China this il
all replaced by freedom and hap
piness.

administration of the country, the
House Of Assembly, the lower
house, can bypass the Senate.
Bills would be sent over the
Senate's head to the Governor
General, the representative of the
Queen, for his immediate assent.
Any other bill would become law if
passed twice by the Assembly, even
though rejected twice by the SEN
ate.
The net result, says the opposi-
ton is puppet Senate to give the
government an artificial two-thirds
majority in respect of the Color
ed vote, but with no power what
ever beyond that conferred on it
by the ruling party.
"The Senate bill is the decisive
measure which takes away from
the electorate the essential power
that distinguishes democracy from
dictatorship" says Prof. Arthur

When the opposition discovered
that the new Senate, near-doubled
with extra Nationalist Senator's,
tipped the scales so heavily in ia
vor Of the Nationalists that an
alternative administration would be
almost impossible again in the fore
seeable future, Interior Minister
Theophilus Ebenezer Donges in

the Senate to a constitutional ap-

The effect, say constitutional ex-

Swallowed an all-out drive to ex-
terminate die-hard Mau Mau men,
bers.
Last January 10, the government
made the proposal to permit the
surrender without prejudice Of any
Of the secret society's members who
have been at war with the whites
of this British colony for more than
three years. All so-called offences
against the government committed
before that date have been for
given.
Admittedly the offer was a des-
perate one but the situation has
cost Kenya heavily. Official sources
say that 1852 civilians have been
killed by the Msu Mau. Also killed
in battle against the movement
have been Sal members of the Sc
curity forces.
Bitter criticism resulted from the
announced forgiveness policy" es-
pecially for white settler groups,
who argued that the government
was being too soft. However, $50
Mau Mau members have surren-
dered since January 10, including
20 leaders of the anti-white move
ment.
The basis of the Mau Mau
movement is dissatisfaction over
the exclusion of Africans from the
best lands in Kenya. 1t also has
political and racial roots. The
movement was started some 10
years ago by the Kikuyu, largest
and most advanced of the Kenya
tribes. 1t turned to outright war
fare in 1852, with the elimination
of the white man from Kenya as
a principal aim.

Collect With Your Camera

It's fairly safe to say that practi-
cally everybody has some kind of
pet hobby-whether it's collecting
rare stamps and coins or just old
Fishing hats and string! And we've
always felt that one of the incest
things about photography is the
way it can aid and complement
the pursuit of almost any other
hobby.
In fact, it is only by means of
picture-taking that many hobbies
can become collecting" hobbies
at all. If you're interested in
bridges, old buildings, art treas
ures, railroad engines, aircraft,
sailing vessels or old automobile
models, your camera is the only
method by which you'll be able to
bring home items for your collec-
ltion.
Many collectors items" are
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1955-07-02

fairly small objects, and you'll be
shooting them indoors. The easiest
method of providing the artificial
light you need is using a syn
chronized flash attachment on
your camera. But, if you prefer,
you can illuminate your collection
with photohood lamps or ordinary
household light bulbs and then
make time exposure.
In either case, if the items are
small, you will want to take close
up shots. With box-type camera,
you'd normally be shooting at a
distance of about six feet from
your subject. If, at this distance
your subject seems lost in the
middle of the viewfnder, you'll do
well to get simple closeup at
tachment that will allow you to
move in to three and a half feet.

seizure of power by the Nationalist
and an eventual non-white revolu-
ton.
He is one of nearly 800 profess
sors and university lecturers in
South Africa who have condemned
the bill.
Warning Issued
During the long and bitter Sem
ate bill debates, Mrs. Margaret
Ballinger, leader of the South At
rican Liberal Party and a Natives
Representative in the House OF
Assembly, warned the government
that it was creating a dangerous
situation by setting Africans, Col
oreds, and Asians an example of
contempt for the law and the con-
stitution.
This type of conduct is break
ing the Africans faith in the white
mans promises and his respect for
Christian civilization" she said.
The leader of the United Party
opposition, Jacobus G. N. Strauss,
declared, Nothing can hide the
essential evil nature of this foul
deed. The Senate bill makes a
mockery out of Parliament and
turns the democratic processes into
mere tools in the hands of power
LISTING politicians.
ITO place on separate voters
roll fewer than $4,000 Coloreds
who are not the slightest menace to
white civilization and who fought
for white civilization in time of
war, the government is prepared
virtually to disenfranchise more
than half a million whites in the
various provinces by removing
their upper house representation. "
Opposition Ignored
In the main, the government ig-
nored the opposition's arguments
and the volume of public protest
outside parliament. The row of
empty cabinet benches facing the
opposition during the 30-hour Sec
ond reading debate stung MP's into
expressing the conviction that
democratic institutions were becom-
ing IAN empty sham"
They charged the Minister of
Labor, Senator Jan de Klerk, Mr..
Strijdom's brother-in-law, with
blasphemy for stating: God is
sovereign and His sovereignty is
vested in the people. He vests the
power in the chosen management
Of nation. This power of ours is
vested in the Senate Bill" United
Party M.P.'s also criticized Minis
ter of Justice Charles Roberts
Swart, for stating: eve are not
in power by chance, but by the
will of God"
The Dean of Grahamstown, the
Very Rev. J. H. Hodson, made a
sharp reply. He said in state
ment: ut seems strange that a po-
litical party which claims for itself
the privilege Of being only answer
able to God for its actions should
consider forms of political chican-
cry calculated to do no more than
to call on itself the whole wrath
Of God"
