Year al Labor

/ PARIS ISLAND, S. c.. Nov.
is pa young Marine drill
instructor who admitted forcing
erring recruits TO suspend them
selves over naked nayonetS was
sentenced today to year at
hard labor and bad-conduct
discharge.
Pfc. Frederick A. Renton. 10,
of New York, paled slightly as
he heard the sentence that also
called for forfeiture of further
pay. His mother, sitting in the
courtroom, apparently failed to
grasp the meaning of the sem
tence as it was read. She and
her son disappeared into the de-
Tense conference room.
The sentence is automatically
subject to review by the Ma
rines and Navy Department.
A 10-member general court
martial yesterday convicted Pfc.
Renton on two of Is charges of
maltreatment. At the opening
of the court-martial, Pfc. Renton
pleaded guilty to two charges of
forcing the men to suspend
themselves over the naked bay
onets.
Maximum sentence on the four
counts is five years imprison-
ment and dishonorahle dis
charge.
! Pfc. Renton admitted making
two recruits, Pvts. Robert j..
Palaisa and Clement r. Ploof,
jr., bridge themselves by elbows
and toes while pointed bayonets
were placed under their stom-
achs for 5 to 10 minutes. Both
youths. Pfc. Renton said, had
violated drill instructions.
/ The court-martial found Pfc
Renton guilty of punching Pvt.
Bradford S. Howe in the stomach
and violating a depot order pro-
hibiting instructors from touch
ing recruits unless connected
with training.
Among specifications thrown
out were charges Pfc. Renton in
duced recruits to beat laggingI

PHOENIX POPULATION
PASSES 10000 MARK

Annexation of a northeast area
of 1.23 square miles by the City
Council last Monday has boaSted
the estimated population of the
City of Phoenix to 17O,221, and
a total area of 36.5 square miles.
The latest annexation, which
absorbed most of the area re-
Gently annexed by ScottSdale
but ruled invalid by the Superior
Court, took in all the property
bounded roughly by 10th Street,
56th Street, Indian School Road
and Thomas Road, with excep-
ton of two small areas where
annexation has been challeng-
ed in the courts. The district
has a population estimated at
$500 and an assessed valuation
of $1,000 867. The areas is the
sixth to be annexed by the City
since mid-April.
Police and fire protection
were extended to the area i'm
mediately upon annexation. Gar
bage Service Company will con-
tinue garbage collection during
July, but the City will pay the
cost, with no charge to the
home owners. The City will
furnish trash collection with
City forces without charge. City
crews are now in the process of
cleaning up the alleys and
smoothing the surfaces. Paved
streets are being repaired and
swept. Dirty streets will be
maintained. Work is being start
ed on placing street traffic and
street name signs in the area
and moving City limits signs to
new locations. Residents of the
area also will benefit from re-
duced water rates. The new
minimum will be So per month
compared with the 81 per month
out-of- city rate. Fire hydrantS
will be installed in the area i'm
mediately and new fire sta
ton will be constructed and in
operation within a few months.
These improvements will result
in reduction of fire insurance
rates by as much as 46 per cent
in some cases. Installation Of
street lights will be started
sometime during the fiscal year

LARGE MEETING

The meeting was called for
June 6 at the SardiS Baptist
Church. According to the Afro
American (June 16), "about L.
500 jammed the church that
had a seating capacity of about
$780,"
Rev. F. L. Shuttlesworth, 81
year old pastor of another Bap-.
tist Church and a member OF
the initiating committee ,presid-
ed. He explained the need for
the proposed organization and
it's statewide implications. A
very promising feature OF this
founding meeting was its COM
pletely democratic nature. There
was no cut and dried, take-it-
or-leave-it plan and program
being handed down from above
but a free and open discussion
of the needs of the Negro peo-
ple of Alabama and the best
ways to proceed.
Before the adoption of a state
ment of principals, bylaws and
S election of officers, a conServa-
tive Negro leader, Rev. G. w.
Murray, took the floor to OBJ
ject. 1--WE should think sanely
of what we are doing. Birming-
ham is too over-organized now.
He referred to an organization
of Negro ministers formed in
the city a number of months
previously.
In reply, Rev. shuttlesworth
indicated that he ACMHR
would not be merely another
top level committee doing little,
and that slowly. He pointed out
the ineffectiveness of the min
isters' committee by remarking,
eff it takes one organization
five months to get a conStltu-
