FINAL TRIBUTE TO KING
By The Associated Press
I"NDON, England, Feb. I.—Britain said farewell to
Ceorge VI today in a great outpouring of sorrowful gran
deur. and buried him here at Windsor with a hymn of tri
umphant faith.
Elizabeth 11, a queen at 25, led the nation’s final homage
to her father. For 214 hours she rode in a horse-drawn car
riage behind the coffin to the dirge of 10" bands, while
more than a million Britons, packed tight along the chill
streets of London, bowed in reverence. e
Then she entrained for Windsor
with the body and saw it laid to
rest ia a crypt of royaity already
holding George 111 and nine other
sovereigns,
The King’s mother, Mary, stay
ea in London with the weight of
her 84 years, and waved her fare~
well from a window of Marl«
berough house. But the widowed
aueen mother Elizabeth was here
with the Princess Margaret to hear
the choir sing the hymn she and
the new queen had chosen—a

Negro Is Given
In Ocala Trial
OCALA, Fla,, Feb. 15 — (AP)—
Walter Lee Irvin is back in the
Florida State Prison death house
today after his second convicition
for raping a young white woman.
‘His lawyers plan a new fight to
save him from the electric chair.
A jury of 12 white men late
vesterday convicted the 24-year
old negro of helping three others
seize the 17-year-old girl from her
‘ farmer husband July 16, 1949, and
\ra;,#;\g her. ~ S
| ere was no recommendation
for mercy, which made the death
sentence mandatory. Circuit Judge
Truman G. Futch immediately
pronounced the sentence, and
Irvin was taken at once to the
State Prison.
Irvin’s lawyers said they will
file a motion for a new trial Mon=-
day.
Four Accused
Irvin was the last of:the four
negroes who were accused of the
crime which set off a series of mob
demonstrations, shootings, and
burnings of negro homes in cen
tral Florida, and brought about
bitter exchanges between Florida
officials and the National As
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People.
Two others of the accused have
been shot to death by law enforce
ment officers. A third is serving an
uncontested life sentence.
The voung woman and her hus
band identified Irvin as one of the
attackers, Irvin denied any part
in the case.
There was no demonstration in
the packed courtroom when the
verdict was announced. Some of
Irvin's women - relatives sobbed
as he was whisked away to prison.
The young woman who said
Irvin raped her heard the verdict
silently from the front row of the
audience, where she sat holding
her month-old baby.
Alex Akerman, Orlando lawyer
who headed the defense staff, said
the state had failed to prove be
yond a doubt that the girl was
raped or that Irvin had done it.
Identification Sufficient
State Attorney J. W. Hunter and
his assistant, A. P. Buie, insisted
the identifications of the young
woman and her husband were
sufficient to tie the negro to the
crime.
The jury deliberated an hour
and 25 minutes after hearing testi~
mony for two and a half days.
The United States Supreme
Court reversed Irvin’s first con
viction after defense attorneys
contested the verdict on grounds
that inflamed public opirion made
it impossible for the young negro
to have a fair trial in Lake County
where the crime was committed.
The second trial was transfer-.
red to Ocala, inadjoining Marion
County by agreement of State and
Defense counsel.

Key Lawmakers Balk At HST's
Power Request In Cleanup
Officials Term Step
Without Precedence
BY B. L. LIVINGSTONE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—(AP)—Presgident Truman'’s
request for far-reaching investigative powers for Newbold
Morris, his government cleanup prosecutor,. today faced
prospects of reugh going on Capitol Hill.
Key lawmakers were quick to term it ‘“‘unprecedented”
and “a complete departure from established practice.”
So far as could be determined,
Congress was being asked for the
first time to cloak an individual
in the executive branch with vir
tually unlimited subpoena powers,
and the tremendous added author
ity to grant witnesses immunity
from prosecution, :
The sweeping proposal, certain
to run into congressional snags,
states in effect:
Where it is “necessary to the
public interest,” witnesses may not
be excused from testifying or pro
ducing records on grounds of self
incrimination and subjection to
possible criminal Zx;ooocufion. But
when compelled testify, after
claiming constitutional privileges
against self - incrimination, the
witness shall not be prosecuted.
This is a power neéver exercised
by any committee of Congress, as
far as could be determined. The
only gowcr to enforce testimony
used by congressional committees
is the power to cite a witness for
contempt and this is subject to ap~-
proval by the whole House or
Senate.
Somewhat Unusual
Similarly, the power to subpoe
na witnesses and documents out
side as well as inside the govern
ment was considered somewhat
unusual in the present case.
It was said, after a quick check,
that not even in the teapot dome
hearings of the 1920 s did Senate
staff investigators have the power
to subpoena outside the govern
ment.
Mr. Truman told his news con
ference that the did wst know if
the executive branch of govern
"ment had ever sought such powers
before, but said he had Attorney
General McGrath’s full backing.
Heretofore, Congress has grant
ed the power to subpoena wit=
nesses and documents only to its
own committees, and to certain
executive agencies such as the
Federal Trade Commission, the
Immigration Service and Federal
Power Commission.
“We have never given it to an
individual,” said Chairman Celler
(D.-N.Y.) of the House Judiciary
Committee.
Celler, to whose committee the
President’s request is referred in
the House, called Mr. Truman’s
proposal “reasonable, but I want
to be sure-—the Judiciary Commit=-
tee doesn’t want to go overboard.”
“Offhand,” he said, “I should
say the President has a fairly good

Final Decisi
In Libel Trial
LAKE CHARLES, La., Feb. 15.
— (AP) —Attorneys will present
final arguments today in the
trials of five newspapermen char
ged with defaming 16 publie offi
clals and three admitted gamblers
in an anti-gambling crusade.
The argunrents were scheduled
to begin at 10 a. m. (CST). After
considering them and briefs sub
‘mitted by the defense and prose
;cution, Distriet Judge J. Bernard
‘Cocke is expected to hand down
verdicts in several weeks.
The five newsmen were tried
last December, but Judge Cocke
~postponed final arguments in the
cases until today.
- Defamation is a misdemeanor
)and under Louisiana law misde
'meanors can be tried only before
‘a judge without a jury. The max
imumr penalty for each count is a
$3,000 fine and a year imprison
ment.
The newsmen are all members
of the staff of the Lake Charles
American Press:
Publisher Thomas Shearman;
his son, Co-Publisher Hugh Shear
man; Managing Editor Kenneth L.
Dixon; City Editor James Norton,
and Reportér Carter George,
Indicted Last August
They were indicted by a grand
jury last August for allegedly de
faming District Attorney Griffin
Hawkins, his assistant, Melvin
Wetherill; Sheriff Henry Reid, and
13 members of the parish police
jury, the county governing body.
A citizens group protested open
gambling to District Judge Mark
Pickrell and demanded a grand
jury investigation.
Pickrell called a special session
of the grand jury. Before the
grand jury met, District Attorney
Hawkins filed bills of information
against a group of gamblers. Judge
Pickrell fined them as much as
SIOO each and handed out several
suspended iail sentences.
Dixon contended that small
fines without jail sentences “could
not in anyway be a deterrent to
violators of the law.”
The newspaper published a list
ing of names and criminal records.
During the newsmen’s trial, the
state charged the newspaper had
listed under the names of three
gamblers the criminal récords be
longing to three other men with
the same names.

Southern Bell Leader
Cites Growth In South
By RANDALL COUCH
“We of the South, of Georgia,
and you of Clarke county are on
the threshold of a future far be
pond expectations of a decade
ago,” Fred Turner, president of
Southern Bell Telephone Company,
told officers and members of Ath
ens Chamber of Commerce last
night.
“The most significant factor in
the eontinued growth and expan
' sion of this section of the country,”
he continued, “is a combination of
‘the energy and optimism of our
people.
Amoxler the things the South
needs, Mr. Turner pointed out, are
continued expansion of educational
facilities, better health programs
and improved markflpkw for
Southern products, but above all
he said, effective mana’ement md
leadership {s required for the pur
gose of previding insight into the
outh’s possibilities and furnishing
“the fire, energy and enthusiasm
necessary to spur the South for
ward.”
300 Attend
Over three hundred members of
the Chamber of Commerce and
their invited eguest were in attend
ance at the 46th annual blniuet of
the Jlocal Chamber at thens
Country Club last night. J. Smiley
Wolfe, outgoing president, presid
ed during the early portions of the
program. Mr. Turner, the speaker,
was introduced by Abit Nix. W.
A. (Bill) Mathis, newly-elected
Chamber of Commerce president,
was presented prior to the princi
pal address and presided during
the latter part of the program.
| Speaking on the growth of the
South since the invention of the
‘telephone, anad particularly since
the year 1945. Mr. Turner traced
the development of his company
land the corresponding growth of
the South itself during the same
period. |
“The demand for telephone ser
vice has continued and Fs continu=
ing to go up and up,” he stated,
“and this demand is greater in the
South than in any other section of
the country. In the six and one
half years since World War II,”
he emphasized, “Southern Bell has
raised and spent eight hundred
million dollars on new telephone
facilities. This represents twice as
much as the company had invested
in the year 1945 after 66 years of
operations. Actual telePhone ser
vice has been doubled in this sec
tion of the country.”
Referring to the local situation,
Mr. Turner declared that tele
phone service has been more than
‘doubled since 1945 and that the
'demand for further expansion here
remains high.
| Expansion Plans
- “The Telephone Company plans
‘this year to spend approximately
$200,000 in Athens for continued
;expansion," he declared, “and pre
'sent plans call for conversion to
ltho dial system in Athens in 1953
‘at an estimated cost between two
‘and two and one-half million dol
lars.” -
Citing the fear of some that the
South is enjoying a temporary
spurt of prosperity, growth and
expansion, Mr. Turner stated that
the weight of evidence is over
whelmingly in the opposite direc
tion, since present-day Southern
prosperity is apparently built on a
solid foundation.
“The South seems to be ridding
itself of the inferiority complex
which has plagued Southerners for
so long. We are beginning to talk
more and more like Texans,” he
said, and a burst of applause greet
ed this remark.
“The wind is with us in the
South and the time has come to
hit” he concluded.
Prior to Mr. Turner’s address,
Byron Warner of the University
Music Department, and a group
of his students presented a pro
gram of selected love songs from
various operattas.
Immediately following the din

merce President J. Smiley Wolfe
