McVeigh Issues
Inncocent Plea
.. BRUNSWICR, Ga.,-Jan. 20—
(AP)—Johnny McVeigh declared
yvesterday that he was innccent
of the slaying of Patricia Ann
Walden —the 19-year-old girl
who the state contends was mur
dered because she “knew too
inuch.”
The case was cxpected te go
te a Glynn county Superier Court
jury today after the corcluding
argument by Defense Attorney
Vance Mitchell.
In a 30-minute unsworn state
ment, permissikle under Georgia
law, McVeigh cherged that Mus
cogee county (Columbus) offi
cials had “made a chump” out of
him to convict a so-called gang
in Phenix City, Ala.
(The state has maintained that
the girl ard a man, John Frank
Stringfellow, were killed to keep
them quiet about the operations
of a dope and liquor ring in the
Columbus, Ga.-Phenix City, Ala.,
area. McVeigh is serving a life
sentence in the Stringfellow
case.) !
The 35 - year - old defendant
charged that cfificers investigat
ing the case last year denied him
a lawyer, moved him-about from
jail to jail, and tolé¢ him he
would be _electrocuted if he did
not confess Kkilling the girl.

Red Counsel Continues
Attack On Jury System
NEW YORK, Jan. 20. — (AP) — Counsel for eleven
Communist leaders, continuing their attack today on the
Federa! jury system here, say they plan to call the senior
U. S. District judge for questioning on the system.
The lawyers said yesterday dur
ing long argument—punctuated at
times by sobs and shouts—that
they would call Judge John C.
Knox, the commgisioner or jurrors
and other jury-selecting officials
in the federal district, Y
Counsel for the Communist
chiefs, charged with working for
the forcible overthrow of the U. S.
government, contend the method
of picking federal grand juries and
trial juries here is un-democratic.
Judge Harold R. Medina, pre
siding at the trial now in its fourth
day, reserved decision yesterday
on a prosecution motion to throw
out one part of the defense attack.
That part is an attempt to void
the conspiracy indictment on the
ground it was voted by a grand

THE FULL STORY OF MRS. TRUMAN'S HAT
| NEW YORK — (AP) — Wo-
Imen’s hats don’t just happen.
| They are made to happen.
And there is quite a story be
hind the first hat of the land to
day-the hat that America’s First
Lady will wear in Washington af
ter husband Ivarry’s swearing-in
ceremony.
Bess Truman’s inaugural re
seption hat proves v-e do live in
one world. It is a kind of United
Nations hat — welding together
the artistic talents of Arid Afri
|ca, Italy, France and Hungary.
The price — undisclosed —is
[strictly American.
“There is only one hat of this
kind in the world — and there
will never be another,” said Su
zanne Remy, petite French de
signer.
- “And it will be worn just once.
After that it will be put in the
Smithsonian Institution, where
they also have a hat worn by
Martha Washington.”
- The Smithsonsion also recently
acquired the first airplane flown
by the Wright Brothers.
. But to get back to the hat—
; Anonymous Ostrich
Africa’s contribution came from
'an anonymous ostrich, which do
nated ten tail plumes. An elderly
Italian, the only man left in New
York who can do this sort of work,
then spent two weeks laboriously
tearing the feathers apart and
gluing them back together in the
pattern Mlle. Remy designed. |
He had to try 25 separate dyes
before he could achive the fivei
shades of mauve the hat required
to go with Mrs. Truman’s grey
dress. The hat was then shaped |
and completed by Mlle. Remy's
Hungarian assistant, Nanouchka. 1
“It is really an international
hat,” said the designer, a pretty
blue-eyed blonde of 28. “Mrs.‘
Truman had two fittings. She said
‘the boss’ had seen it and liked it.” '
What else could a diplomatic
husband — even the President ofl
United States — say?
The mauve ostrich feather crea
tion was one of three hats Mlle.
Remy designed for Mrs. Truman
to wear during inaugural cere
monies. Daughter Margaret took
one — a red hat with a big side
bow.
day to have a judge brought in
from outside the district to hear
the moves to prevent a trial under
the present setup.
Judge Medina refused to dis
qualify himself or the other
judges of the district as prejudiced
in favor of the jury system. The
Communists’ lawyers charged that
Judge Knox “fathered” the jury
system which they contend is “il
legal” and excludes persons of low
income, negroes, Jews and mem
bers, of other minority groups.
The crowd of spectators has
dwindled during the lengthy argu
ments that started Monday, and
most of the guard of 400-odd po
lice and federal agents has been
withdrdwn.
The deferidants were indicted
last July, along with Communist
National Chairman William Z.
Foster, on charges of conspiracy to
organize a party advocating over
throw of the government by force
and vielence. Trial of Foster, who
lis ill, was separated from that of
‘the others,
Mrs. Truman was quick and de
cisive in her choices.
Success Story
“She knows exactly what she
wants,” said the little milliner.
“I wish more of my customers
were like her.”
Designing the inauguration hats
capped a pleasant success story
for Mlle. Remy nerself.
“l came here from Paris in
1941 with only S2OO and some ma
terials,” she recalled. “When I
was down to my last twenty cents
I had to do something. So I called
up my frienc¢s and began design
ing their hats.
“lI worked all alone in a base
ment. It was the happiest time of
my life. Now I have the reputa
tion of making the most expensive
hats in New York. But I wish I
was back in my basement. All I
really want to do is to sit alone
m a locked room and design hats.
“I will never give up hats.
They are my life. But I don’t care
about selling my hats. I am a poor
business woman.”
She seems to be alone in this
opinion. Among her customers are
such well known bargain hunters
as Sonye Heine, Barbara Hutton,
Hildergarde, Gene Tierney and
Mrs. Harrison Williams.
Mrs. Truman was so pleased
with her three hats that she in
vited Mlle. Remy to attend the
inaugural reception and ball.
Mlle. Remy is going, of course,
but—
“l haven’t a decent hat to wear
myself,” she moaned. “I never
do. I don’t think I've ever had a
good hat in my life.,”
She finally decided to wear a
small beret with a hole in the top.
“When I get off the plane, I
will stick a big feather through
the top,” she laughed. “How do
you think it will look?”
PRUNING APPLE TREES .
If good selection is made in
pruning apple trees during the
first two years, pruning in later
vears will consist mainly of re
moving undesirable sucker growth
and thinning the top.
FARM MECHANIZATION
The most important change tow

‘farms has been the use of tractors
instead of mule power. There are
laround 45,000 tractors in the state

Garry Davis: ‘Citizen
Of The World’
His World Assembly Idea Is Gaining
A Following That Stuns The Skeptics
BY ROSETTE HARGROVE
NEA Staff Correspondent
PARIS.—(NEA)With the biess
ing of the President of France,
28-year-old Garry Davis has a
large and growing organization
working for a World Assenibly,;
which he plans for the summ:r of
1950. The Assembly, he hopes,
will select delegates to a conven
tion that will frameé a constitu
tion for a world" federal govern
ment.
The young =x-bomber pilot has
come & long way sinee ‘he got
headlines less than a year ago by
swrrendering his American - citi
zenship to become the first citi
zen of the world,
President Vincent Auriol has
expressed interest in Davis’ world
government project, and assured
| him that, although he no longer
possesges citizenship in any na<
tion, he will not be expelled from
France.
Hailed by some as'“the Don
Quixote of Peace,” by others as
a “Modern Messiah,”” Davis calls
himself the “first citizen of the
world,” and declares that his one
ambition is to get people warld
minded.
Out of a dingy fifth-rate hotel
in Montparnasze, the artists’
quarter, an evangelistic organi
zation of volunteers is gaining for
the expatriate American an in
ternational following that stuns
those who were shrugging him off
less than = y2ar ago.
Considering that young Davis
dramatically insisted on renounc
ing American citizenship, it is a
bit ironic that his headquarters
should be in the Hotel des Etats
Unis. This is run by Polish refu
gees who are so interested in
Davis’ ideas for a world govern
ment that they are presenting no
kills for the tiny bedroom occu
pied by him or the seven rooms
used by his “permanent staff.”
Davis, secn of en American or
chestra leader, renounced citi
. zenship to dramatize his dislike
'for nationalism. He made head

views in his tiny bedrcom, which
is crowded with a kitchen table,
typewriter and chair. His press
}agent, Russell Benedict, has a
tiny cubicle littered with press
clippings.
Letters flow in from 35 coun
tries at the rate, the staff says, of
from 1,200 te 1,500 a day. Many
}are addressed just “Garry Davis,
Paris.” He answers all that are
personal and all that bring con
tributions for the cause. Many
contain offers to do any sort of
work he cares to assign.
There is nothing flamboyant
about Davis. On the contrary, he
seems naive. He has a stock of
slogans that e reels off in a
soft, unhurried wvoice almost @&s
though he were reciting a mems
orized lesson.
On a wall is a large map, with
pins marking 35 countries from
which letters have come. Neither
Russia nor China is represented.
This does not seem to trouble
him.
