The Phil Silvers show is one

Actually, "Youll Never Get
Rich" is one of the few top rated
shows of its kind with a Negro
regular. His name is p. Jay Sid
ney, a veteran actor who has ap-
peared in over so plays on Broad
way since 1885. Sidney appears
on the television show as Pvt.
Palmer and has been seen in every
show in which his platoon" has

Miss Lucy May
Move ToTexas

Birmingham, Ala, Mar. 19-Au-
Uterine Lucy, who last week filed
legal action to gain readmittance
to the University of Alabama,
says she may move to Texas after
her marriage and that the Univer-
sity of Texas would be an "appro-
pirate place" to continue her stu
dies.
The 26-year-old former school
teacher told a television audience
in New York that no date has been
set for her marriage to Hugh L.
Foster, a divinity student, but that
they probably would live at Powell,
Texas.
Asked if she thought she could
enter the University of Texas
without creating a STIR" Miss
Lucy replied II would hope So"
Meanwhile, an attorney for the
Negro coed asked a federal dis
trict judge to override her ex-
pulsion from the University of Ala
bama and to order her readmit-
ted to the Tuscaloosa school in
September.
Judge H. Hobard Grooms said a
hearing date would be set later.
Miss Lucy was permanently ex-
PEELED" from the university by its
board of trustees Feb. 20, several
hours after Judge Grooms had or
dered her readmitted as a student
by March S.
Trustees accused her of making
false, improved charges against
university officials.
In the motion filed Friday by
Miss Lucy's attorney, Arthur D.
Shores, Judge Grooms was asked to
amend his Feb. 20 return order by
overruling the trustees expulsion
verdict and changing the date
of her return to next September.

Justice of the Peace D. o. Grant.
The farm hand, Edward Duckworth.
was shot to death at a small coun-
try store, near Mize, owned by
Lucky, who also owned the plan
tation on which the slain man
worked as tenant farmer.
The shooting occurred, it was
reported, as the result of an ar
gument over Duckworth's trying to
borrow some money from his land
lord. Sheriff Mobiles said the plan
tation owner told him Duckworth
had been hanging around" the
store all day, asking for loan,
and after being ordered out of the
store, started back and was trying
to pull a pistol as he entered. The
plantation owner shot him with a
.38 caliber pistol.
The examining doctor said Duck
worth was shot five times. The
fatal bullet, according to the doc
tors statement, entered the mans
left chest, severed an artery and
passed through his heart. Duck
worth also received another bull
let wound in the chest, two in the
shoulder and one in the left arm.
Lucky contended that he shot in
self defense after Duckworth
made a pistol break" during an
argument over a loan. He also
told the sheriff that Duckworth
was drunk, or had been drinking.

Negro Farmers
Join In Drive
For Higher Corn
Yields In South

Negro farmers in the South are
joining in the drive for increased
corn yields in that region, say the
leaders of the State Extension
Services.
Since 1885, corn yields have been
doubled in a number of Southern
States. For example, Alabama's
yield has risen from Is bushels per
acre to 80; Arkansas, from IL to
1876; Georgia's from 1O.5 to 22.5;
Louisiana's from 16 to 80; Mis-
sissippi's from Is to 80; and south
Cardinals, from 1875 to %.
These higher corn yields, say the
extension leaders, indicate in
creased efficiency, as we'll as the
development of a sound base for
the expansion of livestock prod
duction in the South.
Typical Of the efforts being
made to stimulate increased corn
production in the region is the
South Carolina State Corn Contest.
Other States have similar contests.
Some call them 1O0-Bushel Corn
Clubs.
Awards in the South Carolina
contest were presented recently to
more than $50 farmers who pro-
duced more than 100 bushels per
acre in 1866. The highest yield of
any farmer was 1887 bushels. This
was achieved by D. D. Grant of
Lee County.
Among the other winners was
Leandres Griffin, a colored farmer
of Spartanburg County who got a
yield of 1O4.5 bushels. County
Agent R. C. Smith says Mr.. Griffin
obtained this yield by following
recommended practices, including
the planting of a certified hybrid
and the application of fertilizer OF
the right composition and in the
proper amounts.
