The FBI. which used up to so
agents on the case. turned its
complete findings over to Mis-

including the names of some
members of the lynch mob.
TV Prosecutions Possible
The Attorney General also
told his news conference there
may be some Federal prosecu-
tons as a result of the Justice
Department investigation into
the television quiz scandals. He
indicated any charges probably
would be against those involved
in producing the rigged shows,
rather than against contestants.
"If it appears the facts justify
Federal prosecution, hope we
would be able to proceed against
those directly responsible for
the deception, the deceit and
the fraud" he said.

ident Eisenhower to investigate
the quiz scandals, expects to

Parker Case Moy Spur
Federal Lynch Lows
BY ROBERT e. CLARK
Star Stan Writer

The administration is considering sponsorship of Federal
laws to deal with lynch mobs result of Msssspps fail
e to do anything about the ynchng Of Mack Charles Parker
Attorney General Rogers disclosed the Justice Department
is studying possible civil rights legislation to permit
Federal prosecution in that of Parker dragged

from his jail cell in Poplarville,
Miss, last April.
The failure of a Mississippi
grand jury even to hear testi-
moliy of FBI witnesses was "as
fragrant and calculated a mis-
carriage of justice" as he could
imagine, Mr. Rogers told a
news conference.
Measures Not Specified
Though sharply critical of
States which refuse to act in
lynch cases, the Attorney Gen.
eral declined to say whether a
Federal anti-lynching law is
one of the remedies under con-
sideration. Other measures
might include tightening of
laws permitting Federal inter
vention in lynch cases.
Proposals for anti-lynching
legislation have met with
strong Southern opposition and
the threat of fllibuster when
ever they have been raised in
Congress.
When Mr.. Rogers announced
last May that the FBI was be-
ing taken off the Parker in
vestigation, Senator JayitS. Re-
publican of New York, intro
duced an amendment to the
then pending civil rights legis-
lation to make lynching a Fed
eral crime. 1t is expected to
be reintroduced at the next
session of Congress, which will
take up other proposed civil
rights revisions.

PACE

KEEPING PACE
SENATOR WALTER /. M. Hodges observations to
the effect that the economy is growing and therefore
calls for action are not receiving the attention it de-
serves. One of our greatest weaknesses lies in our refu-
sal to keep pace with changing conditions. That has all
ways been our trouble. Throughout the years we were
content to get along as best we could, and then people
began coming in and using to good advantage the OPP
portunities which we failed to use.
IT IS AGREED BY all that the tourist trade is our
best source Of income. Yet, we are content to get along,
taking care Of to-day, and letting tomorrow take care Of
itself. This has applied to business, transportation, in
dustry, agriculture, and everything else.
But NOW COMES Senator Hodge calling atten-
ton to what is needed. Take the matter Of air transpor-
tation. The jet age is upon US. Before long the flight
from New York to the Virgin Islands will be three
hours, or less. That is quicker than it takes to 60 from
New York to Washington by train.
TOURISTS r coming here by the thousands,
and that number will increase, perhaps doubling within
the next two or three years. Can the airports take care
Of this traffic? Are there going to be facilities for pas
sengers, or win the service be one-sided in that it will
only relate to the purely mechanical side?
WHAT WOULD BE the good Of an airport if pas
sengers and tourists find the going between the airport
and the towns sost difficult and backward? In other
words, are our roads keeping UP with all else that is
necessary? And what Of facihtes2 Will there be, for
example, good restaurant or even cafeteria where the
tourist can get a meal, vel balanced and prepared for
10 percent higher than on the mainland, or will this, too,
be exhorbitant to the place where the word is quickly
spread that we lack good business sense?

Russians Claim
Altitude Record

MOSCOW, July II (AP).-
A Soviet Jet plane topped
$4,000 feet this week to set a
new world altitude record, the
Russians claimed last night.
The Soviet news agency Tass
reported that Maj. v. s..
Ilyushin piloted a T-431 single
Turbojet plane Tuesday to a
height of 28,760 meters ga, 800
feet.
Documents supporting the
claim have been sent to the In
ternational Aeronautical Fed
Grafton for confirmation of
the new record, Tass said.
The Russians also said Col.

twin Turbojet plane with a
one-ton load to an altitude of
10000 meters 10000 feet for
another world record.
