approved.
OF the five applications
which have been approved,
three were for Negro schools
totaling $527 SIG, and two were
for white schools, totaling
| $500, OO3.
Others Pending
Three applications await ap-
prevail by the commission.
One is for white junior high
school amounting to $648, 664,
and the other two are for Neg
70 schools, totaling $959,054.
DR.. Kirby Walker, superin-
tendent of schools, says that
the ratio of pupils to teachers
in the Jackson schools for the
first month of school this year
was 81 to l in the white schools
and 31.5 in the Negro.
But he points out that the
ratio of teachers to the aver

Is to l in both white and Negro
schools.
Walker says that there are

the city and 298 Negro sta
tons. However the pupil en-
rollments for the first month
of school was 14,419 in the
white schools and 1881 in the
Negro.
In education, 1854 white
teachers have bachelors de-
grees, while $50 Negroes have
them. He said TT white teach
ers have masters degrees,
while so Negroes have them.

gains acceleration after every
concert. The dramatic things
in Betty Aliens career hap
pened recently and fast. They
started in 1851 when Leonard
Bernstein picked her as soloist
in his Jeremiah" Symphony.
Then, she sang the Messiah
with the Hartford Symphony
and in 1852 Virgil Thompson
chose her for the major role
of st. Teresa in his and Ger
trude Stems opera -Four
Saints in Three Acts" The
opera had a Broadway run and
went on to Paris.
New and repeated successes
are building Betty Aliens
world wide reputation. She
finds joy in singing and com
municateS this to her audi
ences - one more reason why
her appearance at Tougaloo
Southern Christian College is
so eagerly anticipated.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
every American has rights.
Every American has opportun-
tiles. And every American has
duties. Rights and opportuni-
ties belong to him who knows
his duties" =.
PREPARATIONS FOR FIRST
CLASS CITIZENSHIP In
our preparations let us ever
remember THE FIRST
DUTY OF AN AMERICAN IS
TO UNDERSTAND DEMO
CRAZY. The second duty
of an American is to PLAY
FAIR. The third duty of an
American is to support and
fight for our ideals of FREE
DOM for all our people ,. the
Negro as well as the white, the
foreign-born as we'll as the ma
tive-born. The fourth duty
of an American is to use the
power of his VOTE IN EV-
cry ELECTION to support
the best interests of the peo-
pie. The fifth duty of an
American is to find out what
is right and what is wrong in
the way his government is con-
Quoted - and to help right ev-
cry wrong through the use of
the BALLOT. To see what
is wrong and not to help right
it is not the AMERICAN WAY.
An American knows his
rights, he plays fair, he knows
his duties of citizenship, and
he defends the just against the
unjust. He does that by
helping to elect the right peo-
pie who are for the people. :.

Supreme Penalty
For Murder OF
Estran9ed Wife .

Lonnie Craft, Battling Black
jack one time Arizona light
heavyweight boxing champion,
was found guilty by Superior
Court jury of eight women and
two men, Tuesday afternoon.
The condemned mans trial
started about a week ago, be-
fore Judge Lorna E. Lockwood.
His defense was based on a plea
of temporary insanity and was
not called to testify during his
trial. A former member of the
Phoenix Athletic Commission,
Art Van Harem Jr., testified
during the trial that the de-
fendant's boxing license was
suspended because he lacked the
physical and mental ability to
protect himself in or out of the
ring.
Craft, who fought under the
name of Battling Blackjack, and
was once Arizona'S Hght-heavy-
weight champion, was convict
ed in the shooting and killing
of his ex-wife, the former Vir-
ginia Cook, in a Cafe on East
Washington last March 6. The
jury fixed his penalty at death
in the gas chamber at Florence.
Judge Lockwood, the trial Judge,
will set date of execution Au-
gust 80.
The jury, of which Roderick
B. Johnson was foreman, was
out exactly 81 hours. The panel
retired to deliberate at STA p.
m. Monday and was ordered
locked up for the night at 10:30
p. m.
