Negro Gets Life
Sentence In
Fla. Rape Case

Mariana, Fla. - Negro farm
hand Jimy Lee Clark today was
sentenced to life in prison for rap
ing an elderly white woman.
A circuit court jury May q
found the young Negro guilty of
assaulting the woman and made no
recommendation for mercy. The
verdict meant an automatic death
penalty.
However, Judge E. C. WEIGH
granted defense petition for a
new trial and Clark pleaded guilty.
WEIGH then sentenced him to life
in prison.
Clark was accused of attacking
the 68-year-old grandmother as she
walked down a country road near
her sons home March Is. She
identified Clark as her assailant
and he was picked up at a nearby
farmhouse two hours later.
In asking for the new trial, the
defense contended the Judge failed
to tell the jury that a confession
made by Clark should be considered
with grave caution" The defense
had asked that the judge include
that in his charge to the jury.
Clark, who was the only witness
for the defense at the May trial,
claimed he signed the confession
because a deputy threatened to
"cut off my head and throw it in
the river"
He said the threats were made
while he was confined in the Pana-
ma City Jail for safekeeping. He
claimed he did not rape the woman
and swore he had never seen her.
Clark's sentencing came only
hours after a Tallahassee circuit
judge sentenced four white youths
to the state prison for life for the
mass rape of Negro coed.

white, in an eight-block area here

an whose husband was out of town.
She told officers the Negro wired
her wrists with a coathange~ and
held a knife at her throat after
breaking into her bedroom.
The police chief said each case

The idea for the Atlantic Con-
gress came out of the Third Con-
ference of NATO Country Legis-
lators in November, 1867. The
resolution creating the Congress
held that effective unity among
democratic nations "must be based
upon their peoples" and that the
effort of NATO countries to de-
velop greater unity in the Atlantic
community Should be supple
mented by leading citizens of their
countries"
Former Ambassador to Great
Britain Lewis w. Douglass served
as honorary chairman of the U.
s. delegation to the Atlantic Con-
gress and Eric Johnston, president
of the Motion Picture Association
Of America, as general chairman.

By Mordecai johnson
Howard University President Says Progral
Needed To Meet Threat OF Soviet Union

LONDON.-Some 900 dlStlng
uished citizens representing ID of
the Is North Atlantic Treaty Or
ganization nations ICELAND did not
participate) last week June 1O)
called for the creation of a CEN
tralized international economic aid
program, designed to raise living
standards in the worlds underde-
veloped countries and bring indi-
vldual freedom to those countries
where it does not exist. The ac-
ton followed an appeal by Howard
University President Modecai w.
Johnson, who described present
economic aid as a "puny after
thought tackled on to military pro-
grams"
DR.. Johnson spoke at the Second
Plenary Session of the Atlantic
Congress which convened in Lon
don June $40. He was member
of the 110-man United States del
egation to the meeting, sponsored
by the NATO Parliamentarians
Conference for the purpose of af-
fording leading citizens from
NATO nations an opportunity to
discuss and recommend ways of
developing greater unity in the
Atlantic community.
The resolution, adopted unani-
mously, came as the Congress con-
cluded. The action is not binding
on NATO; however, it has been
Transmitted to the government and
legislature of each member nation
for consideration.
The plea for central program
Of economic aid urged a partner
ship in freedom with the peoples
of Africa, Asia and Latin America
for the great task of development
of those continents" Declaring
that such development is essential
to the we'll being and defense of
the Atlantic community, the reso-
luton stated that the ultimate aim
of the program would be "to help
the peoples Of the less-developed
countries to achieve rising stand
ard of living together with indi-
vidual freedom, human dignity and
democratic institutions.
"It should strengthen the eco
nomic as we'll as the political basis
of real independence" the resolu-
ton concluded.
In his address DR.. Johnson
warned that the West must be pre-
pared to cope with what he pre-
dicted to be an unparalleled eco
nomic and biological offensive by
the Soviet block during the next
10 years.
"We are either going to adjust
ourselves to meet that onslaught
of idea-power and economic or
ganizational power with a vigor-
Gus readjustment of our lives" he
sair, "or we are going down and
possibly lose any power to control
the trend Of history for years to
come"
| The Howard President said that
the Soviet Union now controls one
third of the worlds population
and could increase this figure to
a majority unless the West re-
appraises its policies toward un-
derdeveloped areas. He declared
that the Western powers, through
the colonial system, have exploited
the peoples of Africa and Asia
