BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.-With
the 1856 Maryland racing season
down to its last three programs
the usual battle for next years
dates has begun. No compromise
is in sight over the early spring
opening sought by both Bowie
and Laurel.
The next round in the Skirmish
lis set for 1:30 pm Monday
before the Maryland Racing
Commission here.
In a preliminary discussion
with the three major tracks
yesterday, D. Eldred Rinehart,
chairman of the commission,
told Bowie, Laurel and Pimlico
to limit their requests for race
dates between the period from
March to December 7. A total
of 121 days will be allotted.
The extra day is due Bowie for
a Snowed-out card last spring
The decision disposed of the
proposal of Donald Lillis, Bowie
president, to start Maryland
racing on February IL. Lillis
also said he was willing to let
Laurel have the first Is days
and Bowie follow or have his
track operate for Al days with
Laurel following.
Pimlico is not directly involved
in the dates battle. The Mary
land Jockey Club would Sched-
tile a short II or IA day meeting
in May. which would end on
May 25, evading competition
with Delaware Park, and an
other late fall session, following
the Laurel meeting.
Bowie and Laurel are not ex-
pected to work out their dis
agreement over the early spring
dates this week end and the
problem will be handed to the
commission. which has the final
say on the schedules.

"trumped up charges" and is "the
victim of circumstance and racial
prejudice"
The case, which caused days of
anxious consideration by top de-
tense officials, has now come to
the attention of the White House.
Gov. Frank j. Lausche of Ohio
earlier this week wrote to Presi-
dent Eisenhower protesting that
the situation confronting Saunders
was unjust in view of the cir
cumstances." Lausche had refused
to allow extradition of Saunders
to Mississippi on grounds "the ends
of justice would not be served"
Quarles said he decided Saunders
would either have to resign or be
dropped because it would be "im-
proper" for him. to continue in
service with a penal sentence hang
ing over his head.

L
the United Press, Quarles said he
did not review the court trial be-
fore giving Saunders the choice Of
resigning or being discharged "un-
der less than honorable conditions "
He said it was not the response
bility of the Air Force to determ-
inc the adequacy of the evidence.
1t was sufficient for the Air
Force, he said, that Saunders had
been convicted and that the con-
viction had been upheld upon re-
view by the Mississippi Supreme
Court.
Saunders resignation became eff
fective today. The 25-year-old

two choices and finally decided to
quit.

ers of the city whose arrest here
last August on charges of attempt
ed rape, assault and armed robbery
shocked the Negro community Of
the city was given u 45-year prison
sentence Monday by Circuit Judge
Leon F. Hendricks.
With the charge of attempted
rape dropped Bullock was given
years for armed robbery and ten
years each on two counts of as
sault with intent to kill. The sem
fences are to run concurrently.
Bullock, who was represented by
white attorney, Colin L. Stockdale,
shut the door on an appeal to the
higher courts when he changed his
plea of not guilty to a plea of
guilty which made it possible for
the judge to pass sentence without
a jury hearing the evidence pre-
scented in open court.
Bullock was arrested following
an incident in a north Jackson
lovers lane where he shot into a
parked car containing young
white sailor and his young girl
companion. George Tullos, the
young sailor, was shot twice dur
ing a fight with Bullock. The
young girl said that Bullock or
dered her to take off her clothes
and ransacked her purse after mo-
mentarily subduing the sailor who
resumed the struggle after being
shot, before Bullock, who was ar
rested a few hours later, fled the
scene.
Well informed sources here say
the true story Of Bullock's envolv-
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1956-12-08

ment in the incident has not been
told and it is now too late for him
to tell the true story, at least to
do himself any good. At any rate
these sources are convinced that
Bullock went to the lovers lane
looking for something far differ
ent from what he actually found.
A married man with six young
children, the oldest being only
eight years of age, Bullock was
engaged in an affair of long stand
ing with a rather fair-skinned
young woman employee of the Vet
Grams Administrator Facility,
with whom he had been spa.Ilng
over her stepping and over
the-line on him for some time be-
fore the incident took place, who
was not at home, and whose car,
similar to the one in which the
young couple was parked, was miss
ing from the garage when he went
to her home on the night shortly
before the incident took place.
The extent of his affair with the
other woman has come to light
since his arrest. The woman, Mrs.
Margaret Davis, who became es-
tranged from her husband several
years ago has been charged with
perjury for claiming to be Bull
locks wife in order to execute a
deed of trust for over $4,000 In
buying a house for herself and
Bullock.
The trial of the woman on the
perjury charge was continued un-
til a later date after Bullock re-
ceived his sentence Monday.

In Car Crash

Greenville, Miss, Dec. 4.-Roy
Bryant, one Of two white half
brothers who went free last year
when an all-white jury cleared
them of blame in the brutal lynch
ing Of 14-year-old Emmett Till,
was injured last week in a two
car crash here.
Bryant, 25, his wife, Carolyn, ~,
and Negro Airman William Macon
of Greenville Air Force Base, were
treated and released from hos
pital here following the collision.
Officers said Macon was driving
on Highway 1 when he collided
with a car driven by James H.
Holloway of Indianola, Miss. Bry-
ant and his wife were passengers
in Holloway's car. No charges
were filed pending further investi-
cation.
Young Emmett Till, a Chicago
teen-ager, was a lynch victim in
an episode that revolved around
Bryant's wife. The boy allegedly
wolf-whistled at the white woman
near Money, Miss, while visiting
relatives there.
Bryant and half-brother j. w.
Milan were identified as the muir
derers, but a Mississippi jury
cleared them of guilt in one of the
most sensational trials in the coun-
try's history.
