Four Masked Men Tie and Torture Houston Negro

HOUSTON, Tex, R = Four masked white youths hung a Negro man from a tree by his heels Monday night and scratched two series of KKKs into his chest and stomach after beating him with chains, the Negro told police.
 Felton Turner, 27, said he freed himself from ropes around his ankles and wrists, staggered to nightwatchman's shack and tele- phoned police.
 The six Ks ranged from IA inches to 3 inches in length and went from Turner's chest to his stomach, doctors said.
 Police said Turner told them he was walking near his home in a Negro residential area at 10:15 pm. when two masked white youths leaped from a car and grabbed him. They carried guns and forced him into the back seat of a sedan.
 Two other masked white youths were in the front seat, Turner told officers.
 Turner said he struggled to free himself bu the youths gagged him and beat him to the floor with chains.
 They took him to a wooded area where he was tied and hung from the tree by his heels, he said. There they beat him with chains and rope, cut off his jacket and shirt and scratched the Ks on his stomach and chest with a knife.
 As the white youths were leav- ing one of them old Turner that if he tried to escape one of them would kill him, the Negro said.
 Turner worked the ropes off his feet and hands and make his way to nearby nightwatchman's shack.
 Police said Turner's wounds could not have been self-inflicted.

Prince Edward
School SaIe0ut
Pending Vote

FARMVILLE, Va, Jan. 1e
(AP-Citizens of Prince Ed
ward County. which abandoned
public schools to avert integra-
ton, apparently will be asked
to decide in a referendum
whether the county's only white
high school should be sold as
surplus property.
The county school board last
night rejected request by the
Prince Edward School Founda-
tion that Farmville High School
be declared surplus and offered
for sale.
The school board said It did
not feel "at this time" that it
should take the sole RESPONSE
bility Of selling the main white
high school in the county" but
suggested a referendum on the
question.
Whites Have Own School
The Prince Edward School
Foundation has operated a pri-
vate school system for white
pupils since the county board
OF supervisors decided last sum-
mer to withhold all funds for
operation of public schools,
white and Negro. to forestall
compliance with a court order
to desegregate.
The private school founda-
tion had indicated it would be
in the market for the high
school here if it were put up
for sale. The school had 430
pupils last session.
The school boards decision
after a 212-hour closed meet
ing was by unanimous vote.
Before balloting, the board in
a test of public sentiment had
asked the overflow crowd at
tending the hearing to make
its feelings known. a..
Vote Is 4OO-2O for Sale
More than 400 persons voted
in favor of selling the school,
only about 20 against it.
Nonetheless the school board
decided not to sell the school
without a referendum.
This school belongs to the
people Of Prince Edward
County and State law provides
a procedure whereby voters
may require and approve such
a sale" it said in a formal
statement. I'VE believe this
statute should be followed
here"
The county's 1,700 Negro stu
dents have been without edu-
cational facilities. Since public
schools closed. A plan to start
emergency clinics for the Ne
groes was outlined last week

Senate Nav
Debate DC.
Suffrage

District suffrage may be
debated in the Senate this
week.
The possibility that a pro-
posed constitutional amend
ment to let Washingtonians
vote for President and Vice
President may be motioned UP
for a vote arose in an an
nouncement by Senate Major
ity Leader johnson.
He said late yesterday that
"a separate amendment pro-
posal would be the first order
OF business after a vote on the
pending free elections legisla-
ton. This separate amendment
would permit State Governors
to fill vacancies in the House
of Representatives in case a
disaster killed more than half
the members.
In scheduling business. Sem
ator johnson noted that an
antipoll tax and possibly other
amendments" would be con-
sidered along with the House
vacancy proposition.
The District measure falls in
the category of possible other
amendments"
Senator Heating. Republican
OF New York, who sponsored
the suffrage amendment, said
he would ask that it be tackled
onto the House vacancy meas
ure If other amendments to
that proposal are suggested on
the floor.
Separation Of the District
amendment from either the
antipoll tax or the House
vacancy amendment was IA
vored last session by Senator
Heating. He still prefers sep
aration, but not if it spells de-
feat for District suffrage.
The Heating proposal was
voted out of a Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee by a vote of
5-to-1 in the closing days of
the 1859 session. Subcommittee
Chairman Kefauver, Democrat
OF Tennessee. said he would
not suggest a vote in the SEN
ate this week, but would sup,
port District suffrage if it were
proposed on the floor.
A similar constitutional
amendment has been in
troduced in the House by

man Celler.
