Appeal Is Denied
Convicted Negro
Milton Thomas, 35-year-old Ne
gro bellhop of Macon, continued
his stay in the Houston county
jail today after the Georgia Su
preme Court upheld his conviction
on charges ofraping a 19-year-old
white girl.
A Houston county superior
court jury convicted Thomas last
summer and he was sentenced to
20 years.
The victim of the alleged attack
is a young Macon girl, who testi
fied that Thomas forced her and
another girl into his car, drove to
a spot in the northern part of
Houston county, where he assault
ed one of them.
Defense attorneys complained
that Thomas was “forced” by po
lice into a car for identification by
the young woman. Another defense
complaint was that the defendant’s
case was perjudiced when Sol. I
Gen. William M. West asked a wit- 1
ness if she knew that Thomas’ 1
“a lib i” witness brought mag
azines to jail for him to read which '
contained pictures of nude and
semi-nude women. A Macon white
woman had testified that she and
her husband talked to Thomas in
Macon at the same time the al- 1
leged attack occured in Houston
county.
Thomas has been in jail here for
about two years, pending the out
come of his appeal. It is believed
that the case will be carried to the
United States Supreme Court.

BILL WAS A GENTLEMAN I
By Virginia Morris
Stifling a yawn, Bill Harding
forced himself to look at the
weirdly lighted stage. He’d enjoy
‘‘Marondo’s Modern Ballet” if it
killed him—Bill that is. Marondo
was probably good for another
twenty years.
Bill glanced at the rapt girl be
side him. Janine’s eyes never left
the stage; even when she leaned
her head on his shoulder, she con
tinued to stare at the performer.
“She really loves the arts," Bill
thought gloomily. ‘‘That’s probably
why she thinks so much of that
educated slob, Tobias.”
He shitted his body carefully,
trying to ease a cramp In his leg.
Just because he’d never learned
to appreciate the finer things in
life ... he thought longingly of the
boxing match he was missing. It
was really all Aunt Ellen’s fault
... he remembered the first let
ter that had come . . . he'd been
stationed in Missouri. . . who was
Janine Lewis?
Opening the letter, he’d read:
"I honestly can” say I remem
ber you, but Aunt El, who gave
me your address, insists we are
back-door cousins. She’s certain
that we have a great deal in com
mon, and tells me that you are a
perfect gentleman. Would you
mind if I wrote you once in a
while?”
Once in a while turned out to be
a couple of times a week, and they
got to know each other pretty well.
Bill learned that Janine liked con
certs, the opera, musical recitals,
and the ballet. She also seemed to
like a certain Tobias Zediker . . .
Bill was interested in the fights,
the Dodgers, and an occasional
beer party on Saturday night, but
he was determined that this girl
shouldn't find it out.
Fooling her then had been easy
for Pfc. Rich-Boy had helped Bill
write the proper letters home, but
fooling her when he got back
would be harder.
Things had worked out. He
found, to his delight, that she was
the girl he’d dreamed of, One look

into her soft brown eyes and he
knew he’d do almost anything to
keep in her good graces. He asked
her to get tickets to the things she
wanted to see, and he went along
for the ride.
Once we’re married. Bill planned
optimistically, we’ll ease into an
other kind of life. The fights, a
ball game—
He moved uneasily. Why didn’t
they make these blasted seats
larger? Janine seemed comfort
able enough.
Guiltily, Bill admitted that his
discomfort might not all be the
fault of the seat. My fool consci
ence, he almost groaned. He re
membered reading somewhere that
inside of all men, even gentlemen,
there is a conscience. A nuisance,
the writer had explained, but there
all the same.
Bill was beginning to feel guilty
about fooling Janine. How could
he even ask her to marry him?
“Let’s face it. Bill Harding,” he i
told himself sadly. “You hate the
finer things of life. You can’t fool
her, and you can’t fool yourself.”
There. It was a relief to admit
it. Tobias, the gentleman would
win.
Bill relaxed in his seat and
watched the dance. That Morondo
wasn’t so bad . . . he’d have made
a good basket ball player.
A sound from Janine caught
Bill’s attention. He looked down at
her sharply. He’d have sworn . . .
A suffocating tenderness tightened
Bill’s chest. He grinned—Aunt El
len telling Janine that he was a
gentleman! The poor little darling!
When the applause thundered
around them, Janine sat up straight
and clapped like mad. And Bill,
a gentleman always, said not a
word. Enthusiastically, he joined
in the applause.
Bill sighed happily. He had real
ly enjoyed the evening, especially,
most especially, had he enjoyed
Janine’s contribution, a gentle,
persistant, lady-like snore.
That fool, Tobias, didn’t hava a

Court Holds IBM
Must Pay Taxes
On Robins Machines
The Georgia Supreme Court
ruled Tuesday that the state and
Houston County can collect taxes
from International Business Ma
chnies leased to Robins Air Force
Base.
In making the ruling, which dis
putes many federal decisions, the
state tribunal held the Georgia
legislature cannot exempt an area
within the state from local taxa
tion as it attempted to do with pas
sage of laws.
IBM had sought an injunction in
(Houston Superior Court to keep
from paying the taxes, saying they
had been exempted by the legisla
ture.
Judge A. M. (Phil) Anderson
ruled there that a tax on the pri
vately owned IBM property on De
fense Department lands “does not
constitute an unconstitutional or
unlawful interference with the op
eration or activities of the United
States.”
The decision handed down Tues
day by the Supreme Court affirm
ed Anderson’s ruling.
Chief Justice W. H. Duckworth,
writing the unanimous opinion,
said, “that which the state consti
tution forbids the legislature to do,
the constitution of the U. S. can
not require done.”
The decision continued, “ . . .no
legislature, without express con
stitutional power, can surrender
the state’s sovereignty. Therefore,
the attempt to surrender it is ef
fective only to the extent of al
lowing the U. S. to own and use
the land free from state interfer
ence by taxes or otherwise.
“But individuals cannot be giv
en such privileges.”
He referred to IBM as a corpor
ate individual. The decision said a
considerable number of IBM ma
chines are being used at Robins.
The business firm sought the in
junction against county Tax As
sessors H. E. Evans, Lawrence
Hunt, David Crockett, J. H. Rosen
burg and J. O. Jacobs, Tax Receiv
er E. W. Marshall and Tax Collec
tor Florine C. Rainey.
