NAACP Checking
Death Sentence
For Bow, IS

Atlanta. - The NAACP has
launched an investigation of the
conviction by an all-white jury of
e 15-year-old Negro youth for
an alleged murder of white man.
He faces a death sentence.
The lad, Preston Cobb of Hills
boro, Ga, is reported to have slain
Frank Coleman Dumas, who en-
ployed the boys mother, Mrs.
Leatha Cobb.
Blood was found in Dumas
home, but the body was located
Is miles away. Mrs. Cobb has
asked the NAACP to retain a
lawyer for her son.
The NAACP based its interest
in the case on the boys age; the
fact that no Negro has served on
a jury in Jackson county for more
than 40 years; the court-appointed
defense counsel failed to raise per-
tinent constitutional question, and
the probability that others were in
volved in the staying.

pedceIul solutions George Daniels
to political and economic problems
are always preferred. But when
the Portuguese government turns
deaf ears to the pleas of desperate
men who yearn for the right to
choose their own form of govern
ment and participate in the politi-
cal affairs of state, then no one
should be appalled, and shocked be-
cause desperate men resort to des-
perate means.
Angola is in trouble, and no
people are more stubborn in re-
jecting the facts of goth century
life than are the rulers of Portu-
gal.
Portugal is one of the most un-
derdeveloped countries in Europe.
Her people endure poverty and
hardships without freedom. The
vast African colony, her prize pos
session, is a source of pride and
a reminder of greatness. Portu-
guese policy there has been based
on the belief that African nation
alism would stop at the border of
Angola. King Canute had as much
chance of stopping the tide from
coming in.
This is no longer a world in
which the black man, because he
is black, can be held in virtual
servitude and ignorance.
Portuguese presence in Angola
Is characterized by harsh and bru-
tai practices leading to a lack of
economic development, few educa-
tonal privileges or possibilities
and an economic system that bor-
ders on exploitation. The lot of the
African has not changed substan-
tally in 100 years.
