0NLYTHE GOVERNOR Can SAVE HIM !!
PHOENIX MAN FIGHTS FOR HIS LIFE 81
ASKING THEY NOT EXTRADITE HIM IO MISS

could-and if they could col
lect their money. His mem
cries aren't of pleasant things,
like most have of their child
hood-but of starvation, hard
ships and troubled times. Like
the time when he was 8 years
old, his father and uncle were
beaten up, just for fun by six
white men and came home
bleeding and swollen.
His school was small coun-
try hut where they gathered
pine knots to feed the fire in
an old tin heater. After the
eighth grade, he left school to
become a tenant farmer like
his father. Williams was mar
ried at the age of twenty in
1882. His youthful marriage
soon broke up ten months lat
er and he was married again in
1885. He had four children.
Besides fostering nice fam
lily and making a good living,
Garsie was a religious man;
going to church every Sunday
Gin fact, this is where the So
called murder took place..
Williams was never arrested
during his thirty years, not ev-
en- for speeding and people a
round, knew him affectionate-
1y as "Slim." During the week
end, he went into town and
did "barbering" to earn extra
money. And this he some
times used to help people in
need. When Howard Herring
of his home town got sick and
couldn't work for three months
slim" supported Howard and
his family with his BARBER
ing" money. When people
were broke, he'd loan them
money, never expecting it
back until they got back on
their feet.
This is Garsie Williams -
the Garsie Williams who at
tends church here in Phoenix
the Garsie Williams who sits
alone night after night in his
room reading the Bible-the
Garsie Williams who laid a
wake each night thinking of
his kids and choking back the
tears - the Garsie Williams
who's left lung is collapsed
from his stay in the damp cells
of the Mississippi penitentiary
- this is the man Governor
Fannn doesn't know.

Ethical 'GuideIines'

Offhand, it would seem to be I'M
necessary to provide public servants
with code of ethics to tell them what
is right and what is wrong. An honest,
conscientious employe of reasonable
intelligence ought to be able to judge
for himself whether acceptance of a
particular gift would be improper,
whether his financial interest in an
outside concern would adversely affect
his performance of official duties or
whether a private job is in conflict
with such duties.
Nevertheless, the District Commits
SionerS have decided that recent testi-
mony before the Board of Appeals and
Review has warranted adoption of a
revised code of ethics for District en-
ployes. They also have created a special
committee of city officials to screen
complaints against employees and make
reports, when justified, to the Com
miSSioners. The District already has a
code of sorts in its personnel manual,
which is supposed to govern the conduct,
in and out of office, of municipal
workers. Commissioner Tobriner said
Y this code has been frightened in a num-
Der of ways so as "to provide guidelines
for the employees and the department
heads in order to safeguard the reputa-
ton for honesty and integrity that has
been synonymous with the District
government"
If this revised code will help to
keep the District building free from
scandal, we are, of course, in favor of
it. We have no doubt that honest en-
ployes will try conscientiously to abide
by the code. We doubt, however, that
any code or other "guidelines" will deter
a dishonest employe from doing what
comes naturally to those of his kind
To him, the only real deterrents. are
detection, conviction and punishment.

Good Salvage Job

The House has done good salvage
job on the wreckage of the Federal-aid-
to-education legislation. BY rescuing,
in one operation, the So-called i'm
pacted schools" and loanS-to-s students
programs, the House has moved to avert
an untimely death of educational
measures that are free from the con-
troverSial aspects of the Scuttled ad-
miniStration bill.
We hope the Senate, despite some
threats of opposition on that side, will
follow the lead of the House in approving
continuance of Federal grants to schools
in areas of Government expansion and
of Federal loans to students. We can
see no justification FOR permitting these
established programs to suffer the same
fate as that dealt the main school-aid
proposal.

Life in the u. S. A.

Once again New York police have
had to fight off Harlem mob which
was trying to release prisoner. In all,
some 1900 policemen have been injured
this year while on duty under the con-
ditions of near anarchy prevailing in
the Harlem sector.
There is no good reason, however,
to single out Harlem for criticism over
this past week end. At Lake George,
N. Y, some $500 college students and
young vacationers wound up three
day drinking spree by tearing through
the streets, hurting beer cans through
windows, shouting obScenities and bat
ting police. The little town of Cler-
mont, near Indianapolis, was invaded
by $50 hoodlums shouting I'VE want
booze, we want beer" When this mob
tried to force its way into closed tav-
ern, it was broken up by police, Sheriff'S
deputies, Civil Defense workers and
some State game wardenS. Other ju-
venile mobS held forth at Ocean City,
Md, Hampton Beach, N. H., WILDWOOD

The library is but an ex-

but public edifices have an

Operating in the Dark

1t seems incomprehensible, at this
late date in September, that the Dis
trict still is without an operating
budget approved by Congress for the
year which began last July /. Not in the
memory of budget officials has such a
dilemma persisted for this length of
time.
Municipal agencies, it is true, are
managing to operate after a fashion
under the authority of joint resolution
"a new 30-day extension having been
voted on August 80, following the ex-
piration Of an earlier 60-day authori-
zation). But spending under these res
olutions is limited strictly to the rate
of last year. This means, for example,
that no new positions may be filled.
Nor is the sound planning of new pro-
grams possible. The business of govern
ment is proceeding on a day-to-day
baSiS-all in all wholly unsatisfactory
and wasteful process which already has
been permitted to drag on too long.
The basic fault, however, lies not
in the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee, where the budget is yet to be acted
upon. Committee action has been held
up purposely, and in our judgment
wisely, until Congress resolves differ
enceS in the new city tax bills which
both houses have passed. Only when
the extent Of these new revenues is
known will it be possible to draft a
meaningful and accurate budget. For
which in
however, Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee has failed to
initiate the necessary meeting of House
and Senate conferees.
There is general agreement that
some increase in taxes-as we'll as a
raise in the Federal payments re-
quired beyond the real estate tax in
crease already effected by the Com
misSioners. And since both the House
and Senate versions of the new tax bill
include 1-cent rise in the sales tax,
it would seem that agreement at least
could be reached Oh this provision But
with each passing week, the amount of
new revenues which would be realized
from such a tax is dwindling. When
the sales tax increase was proposed
last spring, it was expected to produce
about SO million annually. If enacted
this month, it would produce no more
than $5.4 million during the remainder
of this fiscal year.
The problem, therefore, is not
merely one of uncertainty and con-
fusion, but of positive loss in revenues;
the greater the delay, the more drastic
the reductions in services and planned
public works facilities, which now seem
inevitable in some degree. We hope
that the responsible leaders in both the
House and Senate will recognize the
urgency of the need for joint action to
clean up this mess, for the time re-
naming for action during this session
is fast drawing to an end.

When we think of the
hopes that once attended the
idea of parks, the wonders
that were expected of them
in the way of good for the
community and it's people, it
is ironic that today, in the
heart of the Nations Capital,
its location in a park should
make a library a peril to visit.
And 1t seems an unhecoming
surrender to this dismal fact
that refuge from this peril
can only be assured by NOV
ing the library.
The park will remain, pre-
sumably still a seat of crime,
but one more beautiful land
mark will be gone, with else
where, in its stead, a plain
and efficient structure, so
specified. This is the pattern
that now prevails in Wash
ington projects. The tempos,
deplored for 40 years, set the
standard of design. Down.

View of Germany

The writer subScribeS to
the principle that all should
stand united in times of ma
tional emergency. He also
subscribes to the principle
that the officials of our Ma
tional Government are best
able to judge as to the exist
ence of such national emer-
gency.
What perplexes the writer,
and no doubt millions of
others who have been follow
ing international events for
many years, is why there
is such emergency, its cause
and justification.
In a totalitarian state such
inquiry would Immediately
brand the inquirer as an
enemy of the state, a coun-
terrevolutionary. In such
countries the leadership"
concept is an absolute. Such
inquiring persons are
promptly put out of circula-
ton, such as Boris Pasternak,
author of Doctor Zhivago."

repute, eminently better quail
flied than the writer, have
attempted to explain the rea-
sons.

LETTERS TO THE STAR
Chain Reaction to New NucIeor Tests

items in Moscow, the capital
of Socialist abundance. They
should now be concerned
over the fact that if Soviet
policies continue in the crimi-
nally reckless fashion to
which they have become ac-
cuStomed, future May Days
may well see a shortage of
Moscow.
Khrushchev has said that
history is on his side and
that he will bury us, but I am
quite certain that Khru-
shchev realizes that SAC and
nuclear submarines are not
intended for dropping or fir
ing shovels. ]. p.
The rapid-fire succession
of Soviet nuclear tests during
the past week may be giving
many Americans, including
our statesmen. a case of jit-
tiers. A natural Interpretation
is that the Russian techni-
clans have spent the last
year or two in perfecting new
and more efficient weapons
of destruction, and now that
Khrushchev has decreed the
resumption of testing, they
are putting their brainchil-
dren through the PAGES.
If this Interpretation is at
all correct, it augurS i'll for
America and her allies. 1t
implies that the Russians
have surged ahead in the
bloody business of devising
nuclear weapons.
But there is another ex-
PLANTATION which takes some
of the edge off the razor. It
may be that Khrushchev's
threats regarding a super
nuclear bomb, his resump-
ton of testing in defiance Of
the entire non-communist
world, his posturing over
Berlin, and even the two as
tronaut ventures, are all
parts of a gigantic propagan-
da campaign, and that the
machine-gun series of tests
falls in with the same pat
tern If this is the case, then
the chief new weapon in the
Soviet armory, over and
above what they possessed
when the gentlemen's agree
ment on testing went into
effect, is Khrushchev's blus-
ter rather than a material
innovation. This has been d.
rected at us for more than S
years, and is thus an old
story.
1t may be, as De Gaulle
believes, that Khrushchev is
attempting to bamboozle the
West int0 Sl1rrenderinp Rer-
lin out Of sheer imperialism.
Or again, he may be encoun-
tering internal difficulties,
and is in need of a quick, spec
tacular victory to bolster his
position. Whatever the mo-
tivation, as the French presi-
dent admonishes, our best
formula is to stand firm.
