Folsom Waits for Court
To in Robbery Case

MONTGOMERY. Ala. Aug.
"a tAP).--Aiabama's Governor,
who may have to decide the
fate of a Negro condemned to
be executed for robbery. said
yesterday he prefers to COM
mute death sentences when
ever possible.
IF can find some excuse to
turn somebody loose, I'll always
do It," Gov. James E. Folsom
said at q press conference.
The State Supreme Court is
considering an appeal for a re-
hearing in the case of 55-year-
old Jimmy Wilson, a Negro ex-
convict sentenced to death for
robbinp a white woman Of $l.95.

Wilson was charged with
robbery. which is defined by
Alabama law as the taking OF
money or goods Of value from
another person by force or fear
Of violence, whether or not a
weapon Is used. The law does
not specify any amount Of
money which must be taken
before the offense constitutes
robbery. In Alabama, robbery
Is a capital offense.
Although he was only tried
on the robbery charge, Wilson
was also indicted for another
capital offense, nighttime bur-
elary. He was not indicted for
attempted rape, which is pun
ishable by a maximum sentence
Of 20 years.
hunofeds OF letters and tele-
grams and telephone calls from
as far away as Austria have
come into the Governors ONCE
since Wilson's case first came
to public attention. Many of
the letters included checks for
$l.95. Gov. Folsom called the
news conference yesterday to
emphasize that he can take no
action on the case until it
reaches his desk.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-27

as long as 1t is being considered
by the high tribunal.
Once a condemned prisoner
in Alabama, has exhausted his
appeal TO the courts, only the
Governor can spare his life.
Since Gov. Folsom first took
ONCE in 1947. he has had to
decide the fate Of IS persons
He let l6 men and one woman
die In the electric chair and
spared the lives of IS con-
demned men.
Wilson's fate will rest in the
Governors hands If the State
Supreme Court turns down his
request for a rehearing.

two prison terms for grand lar

Mrs. Estelle Barker, 80. She

problems relating to the pro-
lection and rights Of children.
At a meeting yesterday be-
tween Judge Ketcham, Police
Chief Robert v. Murray, Com
missioner Robert e. Mclaughlin
and other ofhcials, 1t was de-
cided to ask Mr.. Westwood's
group to focus its attention on
the current controversy and to
come up with some recon-.
mendations.
Procedure Is Issue
The controversy concerns the
proper courtroom procedure at
Juvenile Court. Police main
tain the court is becoming too
technical in It's treatment of
juveniles.
Judge Ketcham insists juve-
niles have certain basic legal
rights which he cannot ignore,
even though the court is not set
up as an adult criminal court.
IT don't believe We'll have
much trouble working out
something" Mr.. Westwood
said. "Our group has already
been reading up on the subject
and trying to define what you
might call the key problem"
The attorney said these
types of questions rage all over
the country. They seem a lit
tie bit more acute here because
Of a good judge and an alert,
well-trained police juvenile d.
vision. People here don't just
discuss the questions: they
want to find answers, too."
Following its completion of
the preliminary work, the group
will discuss the issues with po-
lice, the Corporation Counsel'S
Office, court officials, and other
interested parties, according to
Mr.. Westwood.
Experts to Report
Eventually the experts will
make a report to the full Ad-
visory Committee.
Yesterdays meeting was
hailed by both sides as a sue
cessful general discussion of
the problems. 1t was the first
time Judge Ketcham had actu-
ally sat down with police off,

points of view.

1858 State Funds
Being Sent Out
To Subdivisions

COLUMBUS - (SpeciaD - The
first distribution in 1858 of state
funds to local governments was
made Friday by State Auditor
James A. Rhodes with 81 ,999, ,442. .56
in sales tax money going to county
treasurers for ALLEGATION within
the counties by county auditors.
Due to follow this week is a dis
tribution of $1,76O,0OO in gasoline
tax money to counties, and S1,064,-
300 to townships in Ohio. Each
county will get $4,000; each town.
ship, $500.
An emergency partial distribu-
ton of gas tax money to cities and
villages, which Rhodes made in
December at the request of many
officials, left insufficient funds for
a January distribution to munich
palities; however they will receive
one in February.
Looking ahead to February, this
will be one of the biggest months
in 1858 for distributions of state
funds to local subdivisions. On the
schedule are the quarterly distribu-
ton of school foundation money
totaling around $43 million: the
annual distribution of poor relief
money amounting to about $18
million and the regular distribu-
tions of sales tax and gasoline tax
funds.

Louis G. Hseopan director of advertising and sales pro-
motion of Plymouth quoted in the above statement from
recent speech While Mr.. Haeopsn admits that such protests
are BEING made he gives small that anything will be
done TO return greater of Plymouth advertising TO
smaiown newspapers. may be noted that Plymouth and
other made tremendous in smatown ad
verne within The past year when the manufacturers
complete charge of ad programs Formerly local dealers had
and interest in such advertising but
the auto companies have full say-so all ad scheduling
We would like TO remind Mr. Haeopian that most dealers
agree whoeheartedy that hometown ads do better selling
Job than say big metropolitan newspaper simply because the
only better read but that the dealer gets full benefit
of the holding power produced by local advertising ad
appearing metropolitan stresses see your local

the big manufacturers selling national scale

County's Farmers
Told Of Need To
Pay Proper Taxes

Farm maids and plowhands
farm cooks and tractor drivers -
all are the same to Uncle Sam in
sofar as reporting their earnings is
concerned, according to c. c. Dar-
by, Social Security district man
ager.
Before January 81, 1858, farm
operators in Madison County are
required to send in Social Security
tax reports on their employees for
the farm work they did during
1857. Mr.. Darby said all farm en-
ployees, whether domestic or farm
hand, are reported alike.
Darby listed these rules for farm
workers - (including maids, cooks,
and other domestics hired for work
on a farm operated for profit. Re-
port all employees who were paid
cash wages of $3.50 or more, or who
worked for 20 or more days on a
time basis.
Tax reports covering such en-
ployees must be filed during jan
uary, according to Darby. They are
to be sent to the District Director
of Internal Revenue in Columbus.
For more details, farm operators
are advised to contact the Director
of Internal Revenue or the district
Social Security office VIII er G
pamphlets outlining reporting re-
quirements are available.

Mr.. Richard Conway, Publisher
The Madison Press,
London, Ohio.
Dear Mr.. Conway:
Realizing that you were away
during election time / postponed
writing this letter to you. / am sor.
ry, however, that through my care.
Iessness / have neglected to write
to you soon after your return from
your recent trip. I hope you will
understand and will not consider
me ungracious for the efforts you
have made in bringing about the
successful passage of our school
levy.
Although you were away short
time prior to election day the
ground work that you laid before
your leaving town proved very sue
cessful at the polls. Your realiza-
ton of the opportunity that was
presented in the purchasing of the
former parochial school grounds
made it possible for the London
Board of Education with the un-
selfishness of a few local citizens
along with a favorable vote by the
voters to complete the purchase OF
the school land.
Many times the project seemed
to be stalemated, but your willing
ness to learn the facts in the prog
ress of the negotiations that were
involved were greatly responsible
for the land purchase to be COM
pleted.
Please extend the appreciation
of the members of the Board of
Education, the clerk and the facul-
ty for your interest in this school
project and convey these thanks to
the members of your staff at the
Madison Press for their cooperation
and help;
Cordially yours,
