Officia! Defends
Brutality In
African Colony
LONDON
Henry Lennox Hopkinson,
minister of State for the Colo
nies, defended the use of irons
on prisoners in B>nya, British
East African Colony when the
practice was severely crtttcised
Intthe House of Commons last
week. The Minister of .State
contended that with outdoor
woridng parties, conditions
were different in Kenya from
what they wei« in England.
Under the Kenya prisons or«
dinance of 1048, he said, cer
tain. adult male prisoners may
be confined in irons to insure
their safe custody.
Irons were not employ^ as a
puxiishment, he said, and could
not be employed for mor#’than
&ree months except by order
of the mmTnisslfin««' of prisons.
WASffiBNQTMf, a C.-
The time has come for the
United States to wipe out ra
cial barriers to employment and
thiu “finish the job” begun by
the Suprmne Court’s decision
acainst school segregation was
the contention of the SecrAary
Mitchell In an address prepared
for tbe annual meeting of Kap
pa Alpha Psi Fraternity at
Howard University last Tues
day.
Because of Mitchell's absence;
from Washington, the address
was delivered for him by Secre
tary Bocco Sidlliano,
Mitchell said the country is
depriving itself of needed man
power resources by three kinds
of discrimination—against older,
workers, the idiysically handi
capped and ttie Negro and other,
racial minorities.
“Individuals within these
groups are not the only vic
tims,” he said. "They suffer di
rectly but the entire nation also
suffers...beeause rich resource
OC manpower are not used effec-r
fively." '
The secretary said the recent
Supreme Court banning seg
regation in public schools “will
probably be known in years to
come as the killing blow to ra
cial discrimination.'’

At The Half-Way Mark
BRINKLEY, ARK.
A brutal murtter committed
here recently brou^it four Ne
groes into the toils the law
last week although there was ao
evidence tha ttbey had anything
u> do with tbe crime.
The victim, Mia. Sue Fuller,
socialite and mother oi tw«
children, was found dead by her
husband, an automobile dealer.
Her skull bad beei smashed in.
i’he husband was reportedly
'asiaep at the time of the siayiuS.

newsboys who''l9M>.they saw
large main in a dailt^o\
teaving the yard of tb«
oomo't^ut two hawn peiar
disvorey tbe booy, walk
ing along • raiiroaa ngm ot way
with “at least one bare looi, ' -
police began a search for the
tuUer.
*nie search moved sevui
north of the town when a ftegro
woman becama suspicious of the
actions at a man stuutg on tue
Cotton Belt tracks. She said tbe
man, who was white a light-
complexloned N^ro, got vpmad
left fiuriiedlS^ WllCB b* ttv Mr;
Bloodhounds were ruahad ta
tbe spot where the wonan wm0
the man but after a pcokiaaid
search, police admitted ttisgr
were without clues.
All indications, however, point
to the fact that tbe pesson was
at least bar^ooted at the ttana
of the crime. In the kitchen ot
the Fuller home, police brand
the muddy prints of bare &et
Barefoot prints were, found in
the back yard near a weedpite,
from which a four-loot-long 2 Iqr

pon, was acquired by be killer.
A reward totaUag $14M has
been offtfed to aayaae
can snnMy tnfuiaation wkleh

the slayer.
Tte chief reascm it seems for
holding tbe four men now in
custody is that one was picked
up as a vagrant and other other
three had worked for tbe Fuller
femlly.
L. B. Frasier, local chairman lina.
of the Membership Committee
of the North Carolina Sym

that the drive for memberships
is progressing as expected ac
cording to voice reports coming
In from members of the Com

according to Srasier.
Some 45 local volunteer wor

The nationally-known Or

F. Swalin, who organized the

rection, it has been reorganized
on a professional footing, and
has undertaken a vast educa
tional program. Over half of
its annual 140 ccncerts are
given free to school youngsters

Th$ North Carolina Sym
