RADIANT NEW GARB FOR POLICEMEN
Lynching Jury
Fails to Indict
In Mississippi

BILOXI. Miss. Jan. IA CAP)
"A Federal grand jury con-
sidering the Mack Charles
Parker lynch case told Federal
Judge Sidney Mize today it was
unable to return any indict-
mentS.
The 21-man jury entered the
new courtroom at l0:39 am
and Charles Long, jury fore
man, read the decision.
He told Judge Mize that ION
the basis Of the evidence pre-
sented. we were unable to arrive
at any true bills" He said the
jury had heard 80 witnesses.
This was the ninth day of
deliberation into the lynching
of Parker, a 23-year-old truck
driver accused of raping a preg-
nant white woman.
Parker was dragged from a
jail cell at Poplarville. about
so miles northwest of Biloxi,
last April 25 by a hooded group.
His body was found on May 4
in the Pearl River near Boga-
Judge MiZe told members of
the jury-20 white men and
one Negro-that he thought
they had conducted them
selves diligently and fairly"
He then recessed the jury
until February % for the regu-
lar term of Federal court.
The jury's action apparently
has the effect of ending the
Parker case unless Federal
agents uncover new witnesses
or new testimony.
A Pearl River County grand
jury last year failed to return
any indictments. 1t was after
that jury's deliberations that
the Justice Department re-
entered the case and the Fed
eral jury was impaneled.

before it. A 378-page report
on the lynching by the FBI was
also available to the grand
jury.

Judge Nelson Decides
To Retire After Moy1

Municipal Court Judge George
D. Nelson announced today his
decision to retire from the
bench after next May /.
Named to the court by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in April, 1910.
Judge Nelson has served with
out a new appointment since
January, 1857, because his
friends in Congress wanted him
to have a full retirement pen
sion.
Twice, successors were pro-
posed by the present admins
tration, and twice Judge Neil
son was able to withstand the
pressure. AS a result, he will
retire at two-thirds of his ST.
500 salary, or $11 ,666. Had he
lost out earlier, his emolument
would have been about $4,000.
The Justice Department is
expected to recommend a sue
cessor soon. He may come from
a list of names offered some
time ago by the Republican
State Committee.
These candidates, according
to Chairman Carl L. Shipley,
include Assistant United States
Attorney Joel D. Blackwell; AL
fred Goldstein, District Super
intendent of Corporations, and
Attorneys Leo Schlosberg and
Maurice Friedman.

Investigating Senators
learned today that the Agri-

the recommendation of its
auditors that it find out why
it had been overcharged 81
million on storage of Cali
fornia'S 1856 rice crop.
The man who made the de-
cision, Raymond j. Pollock,
director of the grain division
of the Commodity Sterilization
Service, told the Senators he
had never heard of the report,
prepared by the Sterilization
Services internal audit division
in 1858.
When he was shown copies
of his letter rejecting the audit
report, Mr.. Pollock said, My

more for the storage of CAL

justified by the commercial

an estimated 4,800 youngsters

ministration.
He sent to Congress a mes
sage requesting significant
changes in the Space Act. in
cluding abolition Of the seldom
convoked Space Council, and
reinforcing NASA's status as an
independent operating agency.
At the same time, he for
warded the long-awaited Won
Braun Transfer Plan" under
which the renowned RedStone
(Ala) rocket group will be
shifted from Army to NASA
auspices.
Sees Need for Change
81 have become convinced
by the experience Of the is
months since NASA was estab-
lished that the act needs to be
amended so as to place respon-
sibility directly and unequiv-
ocally in one agency. NASA,

Nation to provide NASA

message.
6O-Day Wait
The shift of DR.. Wernher
Won Braun and his development
operations division of the Army
Ballistic Missile Agency now
must lie before Congress for
so days-until March IA. If
in that time Congress does not
veto the proposal, it will take
effect.
The President fired a coup
de grace at the notion that the
Nation has. or can have, a sim
gle all-embracing space pro-
gram. There must be, he said,
a military program side-by-side
with a non-military one.
This requires. first Of all,
elimination of those provisions
which reflect the concept of a

Point of Departure
This was Mr.. Eisenhower's
point Of departure for a radical
revision of the Space Acts pre-

persons close to the space scene
have long felt is more laden
with rhetoric than with mean

space, and the research and

toward that end, are integral
parts of the total defense pro-

pointed out. space projects in

Record Budget
0fS1.3BiIIion
Increase Keyed
To Sales Levy,
Assembly Told
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star STAFF Writer

RICHMOND, Jan. IA new
record in Virginia government
costs was proposed today by
Gov. Almond as he submitted
a Sl.3 billion budget for the
next two years to the General
Assembly.
This is $3.50 million more
than is being spent in the cur
rent two-year period ending
June 80.
Increases in nearly every
field of operations are pre-
dicted upon enactment for the
first time of a retail sales and
use tax. The Governor handed
this politically explosive pro-
poSal to the Legislature yester-
day in order to raise S210 mil
lion in additional revenue. In
come tax reductions and Bene-
fit to Businessmen and Corpo-
rations will reduce the yield to
$142.6 million in added revenue.
Out of the total sales tax
funds, S45 million would be
distributed to the localities on
the basis of population.
AS is customary, the highway
system would receive the larg-
est single appropriation of spe-
cial funds derived from gaSo-
line and motor vehicle taxes,
while the public school system
would take the most from funds
supported by general tax
sources.
1886 Million for Highways
The Governor asked the AS
sembly to appropriate S336.7
million for highways. an IN
crease of % per cent.
For schools, he recommended
$218 million. This would be a
% per cent increase.
Chairman Howard H. Adams
Of the House Appropriations
Committee, in transmitting the
budget, based on a new sales
tax, declared:
1T was apparent that esti-
mated recurring revenues could
not meet estimated recurring
needs. Even If the anticipated
surplus were applied to recur-
ring needs, the available sum
would be inadequate"
