Pateh Shooting Here
Negro Killed By Two Mysterious
Shots In Cotton Field Near Airport
County police today are investigating the cotton-patch
death of George Vaughan, 50-year-old colored man, who
was the victim of two mysterious gunshot wounds vester
day while he and some 15 others were picking cotton near
the municipal airport.
Vaughan feil dead in Hodgson’s
cotton patch, fonrowing three rapid
shots, according to witnesses. One
.22 caliber bullet entered his
chest and lodged near the back
and the other bullet was lodged
in his thigh above the knee, the
autopsy held yesterday revealed.
No one in the cotton patch with
Vaughan at the time of the mys
terious shooting could determine
the exact direction from which
the bullets came, but one witness
revealed that he had thrown him
self to the ground to avoid danger
gtter the first shot had passed
im.,
The verdict of the coroner’s
jury at yesterday's ilnquest, at
which Coroner S. C. Cartledge
presided, determined that “Death
came as & result of .22 caliber
gunshot wounds, delivered by par
ty or parties unknown. >
County officers early today had
not determined whether the shoot
ing was accidental or intentional.
It was hoped = that the inquest
and autopsy would deliver some
clue as to the range and direction
of the shots to facilitate investiga
tion of the source, according to
Coroner Cartledge.
Delay In Coplon,
Gubitcheyv Trial
NEW YORK, Nov. 22—(AP)—
The spy -conspiracy trial of Judith
Coplon and Valentin Gubichev
was postponed today until Dec. 27.
The Russian engineer’s aewly
retained attorney, Abraham L.
Pomeranmo won the postpone
ment when he told Federal Judge
Sylvester J. Ryan he needed the
tim«le to prepare himself for the
trial.
Pemerantz told the court that
he expected to explore the possi
bility that his client should be ac
coded diplomatic immunity. Gu
bichev himself has advanced this
contention several times in court
and it was one of the points on
which he based his decision not to
employ counsel. The Soviet engi
neer changed his mind only last
week and retained Pomerantz.

Hiss Defense
Flays Chambers
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—(AP)-—
The defense today wades into the
testimony of Whittaker Cham

characterization of Alger Hiss as
a pawn of Communist spy big
wigs,
As Hiss’ second perjury trial
moved into its fourth day, the
stocky, impassive Chambers faced
cross-examination by Chief De
fense Counsel Claude B. Cross.
It is Hiss’ denial of Chambers’
story of Red spy deals in prewar
Washington that forms the basis
of the perjury charge against the
former high State Department of
finial 3
Chambers, self-avowed ex-Red
SPy courier who says he reform

the case late yesterday as he ans

falsified his passport application,
using a false name and other

EVERYBODY IN ACT
Metropolitan Opera
Opens 65th Season
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—(AP) —Everybody got into the
act last night as the Metropolitan Opera opened its 65th
season.
On-stage, the Richard Strauss women-dominated opera
“Der Rosenkavalier” went off smoothly with Rise Stevens,
Eleanor Steber and others singing out their arias to six
solidly packed tiers of opera goers. :
Between acts, the great and
would-be great of society put on
their own show for the television
cameras. _
Those who weren’t starred in
sither performance lined the cor
ridors and pointed, oohed and
aahed at celebrities on and off the
stage. o i
A table captain in the bar, vet
eran of 15 consecutive opening
nights, lamented:
“This is the worst I have ever
seen. They all want to walk
around in front of the television
cameras. How can we keep the
aisles clear?”
He couldn’t. He finally gave
up.
High-jinks, such as have en
livened openings in other years,
were few.
Mrs. Betty Henderson, who once
gained fame by hoisting her leg
onto a table, was on hand. If she

Critics found “Der Rosenkava

Steber. singing the role of the
Marschallin for the first time at
the Met, gave what was described
as a “subdued and maybe even
discouraged” characterization:
The audience kept its hands in
its lap for the first act. In the
second, Emanuel List as Ochs fin
ally won the evening’s first bravo.
Nearly 300 persons, some of
whom waited in line since Satur
day, paid $2 each for standing

lauded for their faith, even as
they sprawled exhausted on the

Wreckage Of Dutch Plane
Found: One Child Survivor
Airliner Located In Dense
Woods; 28 Bodies Recovered
OSLO, Norway, Nov. 22, — (AP) — Police announced
today they recovered 26 bodies from the wreckage of a
Dutch plane which had carried 28 Jewish refugee chil
dren and seven adults. The police said one child is known
to have survived.
There was orly the slimmest
chance that there were any more
survivors, the rescue parties re
ported.
The searches found the twin
engined DC-3 ftransport after
searching since Sunday through
the dense forests of southern Nor
way. It was lost en route from
Tunis, North Africa, to Norway
with the 28 undernourished refu
gee children, three nurses ‘and
four crewmen.
The plane smashed into the for
est, cutting a broad swath through
the trees. The front part of the
chartered aero Holland Craft was
badly damaged, but the rear sec
tion was said to have been almost
intact. As rescue workers came
upon it, some of them reported
they could hear faint, feeble cries.
It was reported that the lone
survivor was a 12-year-old boy.
Several bodies were found
strewn about in the dense woods.
The plane was found near Filt
vet, a small town on the west side
of Oslo FFjord, about 30 miles
from the Norwegian capital. The
nearest house to the crash scene
is almost two miles away, and ap
parently its occupants did not
hear the explosion when the plane
crashed.
Rescue Reinforcement
Even though hopes were slim
for any more survivors, squads of
ambulances and rescue teams sent
to reinforce those at the scene, a
hilly, heavily forested place dif
ficult to penetrate.
The child who survived was
taken to a hospital at Drammen,
20 miles from Oslo, poiice said,
and a doctor there was quoted as
saying the boy has a good chance
cf recovery. i i
The boy, one of the pitiably un=~
derfed refugee children who had
been on their way to rest and re=
habilitation in Norway, speaks
French, officials said, but it was
impossible for the time being to
persuade him to tell }}is name.
~ All the children had been destin~
ed eventually to go on to Isreal,
the Jewish state. ; s
A vast hunt for the plane had
been under way since Sunday.
About 2,200 volunteer. searchers
had stumbled through tangled for
ests of south Norway seeking the
plane, which was carrying 28 un
dernourished Jewish refguee
children from Tunis in North Af
rica. It also carried three nurses
and four crewmen.

ATLANTA, Nov, 22.—(AP)
~Athletic Director W. A. Al

fuotball Coach Bobby Dodd
would remain at Georgia Tech.
The announcement set at rest
reports that Dodd might leave
Georgia Tech to become head
coach at another Southeastern
Conference school. Reports had
been received that he had re
ceived an offer from the Uii
versity of Florida.

announcement said that “the
Georgia Tech coaching staff

Dismissal Of Flog
Charges Is Refused
Judge Directs Gov’t To Proceed
With Case Against 12 White Men
ROME, Ga,, Nov. 22.—(AP) —Federal Judge Frank A.
Hooper refused today to dismiss indictments againet 12
men charged with conspiring to flog seven negroes.
The judge directed that the government proceed with
its case against the twelve.
Immediately thereafter defense
attorney. Frank Gleason filed a
motion for a “Bill of Particulars;
that is he asked the government
to spell out the charges against
Dade County Sheriff John W.
Lynch, three of his deputies and
eight private citizens.
U. S. District Attorney J. Ellis
Mundy promptly objected, arguing
that to do so would limit the score
of the case and hand the defense
in advance an outline of the gov
ernment’s evidence.
Before the day is out the district
court is expected to get down to
the business of selecting a jury
with the actual trial getting under
way toimorrow,
Grand Jury Probe
Even while the case of the 12
was before the court, the Grand
Jury which returned the original
indictment was meeting again to
go into the beatings further.
Seven négroes were seized while
in the custody of Sheriff John W.
Lynch of Dade county and three of
his deputies April 2 and flogged
by a mob of 50 to 75 men in Ku
Klux Klan raegalia,
The Grand Jury held in a two
eount indictment Aug. 3 that the
Dade officers conspired with eight
private citizens and “others un
kmown” to have the negroes beat
en.
Righis Deprived
Such a beating, the jury found,
deprived the negroes of their
rights to equal protection under
the law and their right of immuni
ty to punishment save by due pro
cess of law.
Gleason contended that the in
dictment was drawn improperly
and, for the purpose intended,
even under the wrong section of
the U, S. code, He maintained that
the crime was one which the states
should settle in the first place and
that the first count of the indict
ment should have been drawn un
der the general conspiracy section
instead of the specific sections
chosen by the government.
These sections, 241 and 242 of
title 18, were written into the law
in the 1870’s when the Ku Klux
Klan was abroad in the south as
the enforcement to the 14th—
equal rights—amendment of the
U. 8. Constitution.
Nearly every Supreme Court
which has considered the sections
since has arrived at a different in
terpretation of its wordage.

GERMAN POLICY
24-Day-Old Assembly Ponders Move
Of Allowing Germans Back In Family
By The Associated Press
The French National Assembly is debating today
whether Germany should be brought back into the Euro

The 24-day old government of Premier Georges Bidault,
in concert with the governments of the United States and
Britain, stands for the more generous treatment of Ger
many. The debate will decide whether the Bidault govern
ment will stand or fall.
France has been overrun thrice

GOVERNOR’S CONFERENCE
Federal Policies
Attacked By Byrnes
_ BILOXI, Miss., Nov, 22.—(AP)—A former cabinet of
ficer made a sharp attack on government fiscal policies
last night and called for a drop in taxes and the national
debt.
In his second assault on the
Truman administration, former
Secretary oY State James F.
Byrnies told the Southern Gover
nors’ Conference that federal
taxes and the public debt consti
tute the real trouble now beset-l
ting this country.
The cure, added the former ad
ministration stalwart, was to be
found neither in a larger public
Gewe-Nor -a8 & Qcavier tax 153 d,
but he saw no immediate rem
edy.
Deficit spending will continue,
he declared.
Byrnes’ first attack on the ad
ministration came in a recent
speech at Washington and Lee
University. There, he charged the
federal government with “stat
ism,” with taking over more and
more the powers and prerogatives
of local governmrents.
Last night he told the South’s
chief executives:

German Nationalism is very much

An American political authori
ty commented: “The bugaboo of
Communism may soon have to
take a back seat. There’s compe~
tition around.”
Rightist Support
The West German legislative
halls at Bonn have been ringing
mere and more with speeches on
behalf of Germanism. Rightist
parties have won the largest sup
port in German elections. One
delegate proposed recently that
union with Austria, once engi
neered in a bloodless coup, be re
stored.
In the Russian-occupied Eut-‘
ern zone, Germans gave back
civil rights to ex-Nazis, who im
mediately banned together within
the Nationalist Democratic Party
and lashed out against the Com
munist regime’s plan of turning
private enterprise Into socialized
industry,
In Ottawa, Field Marshal Lord
Wavell, former Viceroy of India,
said Germany would eventually
become a greater problem for the
West than the Soviet Union.

The U. S. State Department
awaited results of its proposal to
30 governments that they join in
a concerted effort to free Consul
General Angus Ward from a Chi

The appeal was made over the
week-end by Secretary of State
Acheson in an unprecedented
move. There appeared little doubt
that Britain, France and most of
the Western nations would agree
to bring pressure on the Com

The big question mark was
whether Moscow and the four
other Soviet bloe nations would
agree to take part in the intet-i

new taxes will mot be sericusiy
