WHITE MAN HELD ON RAPE CHARGE WHITEVILLE Charged with attempting to rape a 19-year-old Negro girl, tAiss Mamie White, Ernest Todd, a Columbus County white man, is being held in jail in lieu of $2,500 bond. Information coming from the office of Sheriff J. R. Pridgen, who said that the 22-year-old local filling station operator had been anested over the week-end, was to the effect that the attempt to rape Miss White was made about 11 a. m. Sunday, July 31, near here on the Chadboum - Whiteville Highway. According to the girl’s ver sion of the affair, given to deputies, a man identified as Todd drove by her in his auto as she was on her way to church. He turned around ask ing her if she wanted to ride; but when she refused, the man leaped from the car and at tacked her. He fled, however, when she began to scream and after she had tom a pocket off his shirt. While not admitting the at tack, Todd did admit that he was in the vicinity at the time Miss White says the incident took place. But he stated that he was looking for a Negto woman to stay with his preg nant wife. Whether he had some parti cular Negro woman in mind, or any Negro woman he might by chance come upon, was not stated. STOP CRYING!

DAYS TO ANSWER CHARGES GREENSBORO—^The superintendent and members of the Montgomery County School Board have been ordered by Judge Johnson J. Hayes of Middle District Court to sybmit an answer within thirty days to a complaint filed here on July 29 by a group of Negro parents, all residents of Mont gomery County, in behalf of their school-age diildren. Local Attorney J. Kenneth Lee representing the plaintiffs in the anti-segregation suit said that the long-range aim of the suit is to have the law requiring segrega tion in the schools of North Carolina declared unconstitution al. The plaintiffs, requesting that the suit be heard by a three- judge federal court, stated in the complaint that they in 1954 peti tioned the County School Board to abolish segregation in the county’s schools. The action brought no satisfactory results. plaio^U, ototrlbutes to"«(i. NAAQP now r«4u^ has^n denouat*^ by the issue an order requiring the board to “promptly present a plan of desegregation” which would “expeditiously” end seg regation in the public schools of Montgomery County. The suit has identical purpose with that of suits recently brought in Clarendon County, South Carolina and Prince Ed ward County, Virginia. The three-judge federal court in each of these suits ordered eventual desegrgation by the county, but refused to set a specific date for it to take place. The suit represents the first of the kind to be filed in North Carolina. GA. NAACP RESISTS HEAT ON TEACHERS ATLANTA, G*.

In a special protest meet ing this we^, two thoosand Islanders under the spoasor- ship of the CIO paf 1 tbrM resolutions, which seA the immediate resignation of Gov. Alexander. Accusing Alexander ct “hat ing the people of the Virgin Islands” and making deroga tory utterances to their char acter, the resolution addressed to Alexander ask him qpectfic- ally to resign. In the resolution to President Eisenhower, the Uaaders claim that the act of ’54 under which the islands are govern ed, gives too much authority to the executive and creates a virtual dictatorship. To Con gress, this resolution charges Governor Alexander with un ethical conduct and maladmin istration.

C. The common cockroach may prove to be of uncommon help in developing ways of treating heart disease. Veterans Administra'ftbn said it is using the cockroach in a cholesterol research project at its Center in Wood, Wise., be- causp the insect is peculiarly adapted to research in tlie uti lization of cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatlike ma terial tliat has been shown as one contributory cause of har dening ol the arteries, or ar- terioslerosis. In this condition, plaques of cholesterol are deposited in the lining of arteries, thickening the walls and narrowing the opening to reduce the flow of blood. Cockroaches must have cholesterol in their diet for normal growth. But they can not manufacture it in their bodies from simple chemicals as can human beings. In the tests at the Wood Center, the insects are given compounds similar to choles terol. Some compounds substi tute in part for cholesterol to furnish clues to the steps which occur in the natural synthesis of the material. Other compounds that are chemically similar to choles terol may act as an antagonists ot cholesterol and prevent grow th even when cholesterol is fed at the same time. In human beings, such compound competing with cholesterol, might keep choles terol from t)eing deposited in the arteries and thereby pri- vent hardening of the arteries. The study at the Wood cen ter, which is testing thia ttte- ory, is headed by Or. Jerre No land, a VA biochanist who wrote his Ph.D. thesis on the diet of cockroaches.
