7 Nudist Magazines
Found Obscene as
Court Upholds Ban

Federal Judge James R. Kirk
land yesterday ruled that certain
pictures in recent copies of two

In his ruling, handed down in

magazine copies in question
through the mail.
The magazines and issues in
volved are:

February issue of the Sun Maga-
zine, published bi-monthly by
the Solar Union Naturisme, Inc
Copies of the. magazines were
held up by postal authorities at
Mays Landing, N. j., as unmail-
able.
Yesterdays hearing on the
question had been postponed
from January 18. pending final

Jury Hears Evidence
OF Woman S Murder
On Poisoned Whisky

The prosecution expected to
finish presenting evidence today
in the first-degree murder trial
of a man accused of killing a
woman in December, 1888. by
giving her poison in a drink OF
whisky.
The defendant is Robert E,
Askins, 35, colored Of the 1900
block of First street NV. The
trial delay was the result Of his
having been adjudged of un-
sound mind not long after being
indicted in 1899. He is accused
in the death of Ruth Mcdonald,
81, colored, who lived in the 900
block of Freeman's court NV.
Askins' trial began yesterday
before a jury of 10 men and 2
women in the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia
The original indictment, re-
turned in 1889. was dismissed in
1943 because Askins was insane.
He was re-indicted last Novem-
ber.
Released as Recovered.
In 1852, he was released from
St. Elizabeths Hospital as a
social recovery" Last year, he
also was named in an indictment
on a charge of second-degree
murder in which he was accused
of strangling another woman
since his release from the hoSpi-
tai. That indictment, however,
subsequently was dropped for
lack of evidence.
Another f1rst-degree murder
indictment. accusing Askins of
fatally stabbing a woman, also
was dropped in 1943 while he
was in the hospital.
Last October l, Askins was
declared of sound mind and
mentally competent to stand
trial.
A key Government witness in
the current trial was Mrs. Alice
P. Brown of the 200 block of G
street S.W., who testified Askins
poured out drinks for her and
several other women. including
the Mcdonald woman, whom he
had just met. All become ill,
she testified. She testified Askins
did not take a drink.
Poisoned Whisky Found.
Another Government witness,
DR.. Richard M. Rosenberg, dep
uty coroner. testified the Nc
Donald woman died from potas-
SUM cyanide. Police Inspector
William j. Liverman, who was a
detective sergeant in 1888, tes-
titled one whisky bottle had been
recovered from the house where
the Mcdonald woman lived and
another from Askins' home. A
chemist testified the two con-
tained the poison.
Askins is being prosecuted by
Assistant United States Attorney
Thomas A. Flannery.
The defense attorney is George
E. c. Hayes. Judge Edward M.
Curran is presiding at the trial.

was when the enrolment was less

Because Southern is bursting at
its seams in every direction and
with mounting demands for new
curricula offerings, the institution
must build fast enough to catch
up with it's present crowded condi-
ton.
One Southern official stated that
if two dormitories each for men
and women were built each year
the size of those presently being
constructed, it would take ten years
to have normal living accommo-
dation for incoming students.
Even though only 20r5 of the
teaching faculty at the school has
the highest academic degree,
Southern enjoys a good qualified
staff.
This staff includes graduates
from Americas top educational in

sional magazines have printed

Students at the state school
demonstrate maturity, balance and
a serious concern for academic
achievement. This is why a large
percentage is listed each year in

American Colleges and Univers-
ties; several become members of
learned societies and recipients of

ends.
Southern throughout its history
has had as a main purpose to
train whole useful person that
will contribute to the higher ideals
of his community and the state.
The University Dean has a long
list of graduates who are now COM
munity leaders in other states as
we'll as Louisiana.
The State Legislature and the
State Board of Education are real
izing the value of Southern and
what it has done and is doing for
youth and adults throughout the
state. So much so, that they are
providing funds to make it one of
the leading educational institutions
that any parent will be proud to
have his children enroll.
Some 400 students will receive
degrees this year with some %
cadets in the ROTC Regiment be-
ing commissioned in the United
States Army Reserve. These South
ernites are our future leaders. Many
have demonstrated these possibili-
ties during their college years.

Georgia, married a fellow school
teacher, Albert Bethune, moved on
to Daytona Beach. By that time
she already had plans for a school
of her own. To raise money, she
baked sweet potato pies and sold
them from door to door. She ped
died fried fish, sang in local hotels.
She borrowed a shack, collected
boxes for furniture, squeezed elder
berries for ink, used charcoal sliv-
ers for pencils. When the Daytona
Normal and Industrial Institute
opened, its student body was five
girls and her son.
With the help of James Gamble
and other men of means, it grew
into a furnishing secondary school
and later, after merging with the
neighboring Goodman Institute for
Men, into a full-fledged four-year
coeducational campus. Bethune-
Cookman's assets rose to more than
S3,500,000, it's enrolment to 1850,
it's faculty to So. Meanwhile, Mrs.
Bethune was making a name for
herself in other ways. "Be a
Daniel" she urged her followers.
Take the vow of courage"

figure, invariably supported by a
favorite cane, became a familiar
one at Negro rallies throughout the

Council of Negro Women (more
than 100000 members), was special
adviser to Franklin Roosevelt on
minority problems ('Mrs. Bethune,

assistant to the Secretary of War

Powell warned the President that
Africa is the next place where
the Communists will try to estab-
lish a beachhead. Money is now
being raised behind the scenes to
get arms to Algeria, Tunisia and
Morocco. One of the leaders of
the Union of South Africa in
formed the Congressman that if
arms are offered to that country
it might lead to one of the biggest
massacres Of all times.
The New Yorker refused to say
where these arms are to be pur-
chased. He was not sure whether
they could be coming from Com
munist countries. He was informed
that few Communists have infil-
trated Africa. While the group is
not large, it is vocal.
The Indonesian conference was
not anti-west, said Powell, it was
not anti-white and it was not anti
American. But they were in unan-
unity upon one question, "down
with colonialism and down with
racism."
The Communists came to the
conference ready to use the race
issue against this country, Powell
told the President, but he was able
to head it off by citing from the
Supreme Court decision and from
executive orders issued by the
President.
But, he emphasized, leadership
in the field of indignation should
not be slowed up but must be
stepped up"
Powell was informed by some
members of the press of the crit
icisms which had been made of him
regarding what some call white

Southern Sets 4tst
Commencement

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, May 10,
1866. On Monday, May 80, South
ern University will close it's 41st
Annual Commencement Exercises
and will award more degrees to
students than the total enrolment
of the institution a few years ago.
Southern University, which be-
gan as a State Agricultural and
Mechanical College on its present
site in 1914 had less than 20 stu
dents and six faculty members. To-
day the institution has grown to a
status of the largest state school
for Negroes in America.
Officials of Southern quickly let
one know and document their
statements that high academic
quality has been maintained
throughout the years in spite of
the fact of limited facilities.
These officials pointed out that
from 1880 to about 1850 no class
