Cliff Jackson bucked over from the two for the score. When Moody raced back the second half kick-off all the way for Virginia State’s first score, it put the Trojans only one touchdown behind the ’visitors. But the Eagles struck back quickly in the third quarter to tally two touchdowns and put the game out of reach of the Virginians. The hard running Jackson raced 34 yards for one of the third quarter scores and Mont gomery, catching the Virginia defense by surprise, scooted 55 yards on the quarterback “keep” play for another score in the third quarter. Trailing 27-7 in the final quarter, Trojan quarterback Cal Merritt eluded several would be tacklers and got off a beautiful 33 yard scoring pass to fresh man end Ken Easley. The Eagles came back in the fourth quarter with an insur ance touchdown, tallying on Tom Johnson’s plunge from the two. Deral Webster booted all but two of the extra points for the Eagles, and Curt Camack kick ed one of of two extra points for the Virginians. FUNERAL RITES CONDUCTED DURHAM FOR M. R.

Group Asks Firm To Ban Nazi Magazine NEW YORK The American Jewish Con gress has called upon the Ameri' can News Company to halt its distribution in the United States of Der Weg, a German-language periodical published in Argen tina. Der Weg, the American Jewish Congress charged, is “a scurrilous and hate-mongering publication whoA sole aim is the reinstatement of world N» zism, and whose stock in trade is a violent anti-Semitism.” In letters addressed to Heiury Garfinkel, president of the American News Company, Isaac Toubin, executive director of the AJ Congress, called Der Weg “a mouthpiece of present- day Hitlerism.” The magazine, printed in Buenos Aires, “has been for years a notorious inter national anti-Semitic organ, us ed by the neo-Nazis who are attempting to formulate a new ideological basis for an aggres sive and militarlatic neo-Natlon- al Socialism. Der Weg," Mr, Toubin added, “glorifies Ger many’s militaristic past, opposed democracy and carries on the traditional Nsisl W?r against the iews and other ethnic groups.” The March, 1956, issue of Der W^, Mr. Toubin polnt«d out, carried a Ubalous attack on a number of outstanding and re putable American rabbis. The American News .Com pany, the American Jewish Con gress asserted, was continuhig as late 4s October 1, to accept subscriptions tor Der Weg, de spite the fact that information about the nature of the periodi cal was transmitted to them by the AJ Congress in mid-July, Mr. Toubin expressed “amaze ment and concern” that Mr. Garfinkel had not seen fit to ply to the Congress’ complaint or to provide an explanation why the American News Com pany continues its policy of dis tribution.

He admitted that he voted for Stevenson in the 1BS2 election, but repeated that he was not yet certain as to which candidate he would support in the coming election. “I’m not a politician, and I do not plan to enter Into active politics, he hastily reminded this reporter. Rev. King asserted that the real solution to the problems ^ desegregation in the South Ues in Increased political activi ty by Negroes. "We can get court decisions, but the real problem lies in their implemeiAAtion. Hie recmt court. decisions in the area of segregation are largely unim plemented because of a lack of political activity on the part of Negroes in the South. “The (southern) States will never do anything to bring about the implementation of court decisions or erasing any of the many racial injustices. This will only come about as we are able to wield political power (through the national govern ment.” Turning to Alabama and the Montgomery bus boycott, Rev, King declared that the Negroes of Montgomery were prepared to carry on the boycott until a court decision is obtained. (A suit was filed in Federal Court last winter by- Attorney Fred D. Gray seeking to have invalidated the state’s laws re quiring segregated seating on buses.) “I do feel that passive resis tance, as is exemplified in our boycott, should be included as one of the techniques in the na tional strug^e,” said in re ply to a question as to how far he would go in advocating boy cotts. “I would not advocate the In discriminate use of boycotts,” he said. “We’ve got to defeat the op position by sheer insistence. We’ve got to 'shame them into seeing the injustice of their sys tem. We’ve got to get Negroes so concerned that they will stand up en masse all over the coun try to protest injustice without regard to consequences.” Dreamed Of Act- (Continued from Page One) Smith said “I just don’t know or understand what happened to Curtis.” For 22 years, she and Curtis lived together at 604 Cameron Avenue, where they were buying a home. They have two children: Curtis Jr., nine, and Adrenmle, six. At the time of the slaying Smith had been sleeping In his car, a 1939 Ply mouth. Mrs. Smith, who is employed with the R. J. Reynolds Tobac co Company, said she visited her husband Saturday at the city Jail. Investigating officers had not been able to get anything out of Smith except that he didn’t want to answer any ques tion put before him concerning the murder. Mrs, Smith how ever, said her husband seemed very glad to see her and acted as if he didn’t know why he was in jail.

Dr. Karl W. Bigelow, pro fessor of higher education at Teachers College, Colvunbla University, in the inaugural ad dress, challenged Bennett to teach its students more about unity among them as human beings and less about the differ ences that tend to divide. “The American college of to day,” he said, “is concerned both with unity and with diver sity. It is aware that all of its -sttidents--are -ftUfce, as hi beings; yet, at the same time, different, as individual persons, Mrs. W. H. C.

Greeting from the colleges were brought by Dr. Benjamin E.

His partially opened para chute then hit Sgt Johnson. “I grabbed- it and held it,” said Sgt Johnson. “It was the only thing I could do. But it all happened so fast, I didn’t realize just what had happened. I only knew something was wrong. I thought at first that my re serve had come open. Then I heard Cpl Wise yelling at me to turn him loose.” C:pl Wise, looking up, had seen what had happened. He also saw something else. Sgt Johnson’s parachute was f^ of holes, apparently tom by the jolt of grabbing Cpl Wise. “I told him to turn me loose, when I saw the condition of his chute, thinking we could both pull or reserves," said Cpl Wise. “We weren’t going much faster than the others, but the danger was that hla ‘chute might have collapsed, what with the extra weight and the holes in it.” If this had happened within 100 feet from the ground, it is probable that neither man would have had time to activate his reserve. “I looked up after I heard Wise hollering,” said Sgt John son, “and when I saw those holes, I don’t mind admitting I got a little shook. They taught us in Jmnp School that if you have a hole bigger than your helmet, you should pull your re serve. There were about six in mine, and they looked bigger lah a hdiise fSThe. “I saw we still had a couple of hundred feet to go, so I decided to try to get rid of Cpl Wise. I knew he’d have time to pull his reserve but as it turned out he didn’t have to.” Instead of merely loosing his “hitch-hiker”, Sgt Jdhnson fed o(R Cpl Wise’s parachute hand over hand, shook it out and it caught air. Wise rode safely to the ground. “1 saw he was safely away, but I still had those holes,” said the catcher, "so I pulled my re serve. I guess I didn’t need it.” Body of Mother- (Continued from Page One) church meeting.

After Mrs. Bumpass identi fied "Leroy” as Leroy Har- gnives, police went to hia home WednsMday night and brought him tp the local jail for ques tioning. XJnmarried, Hargraves lives with his parents in the KnoUs development, just a few paces from where the Edwards live. At the C^arrboro jail where Hargraves was brought for questioning, he admitted to -po lice that Mrs. Edwards had picked him up in front of the University Laundry about seven o’clock on Tuesday evening and that they had driven down be low Merritt’s Service station on the Pittsboro hi^way where they parked for a short while, and that an argument ensued. He further told police that she had driven back through Victory Village a little before nine and let him out at Cameron avenue at Roberson street. This was the last he saw of her, he said. Hargraves said that after he left Mrs. Edwards he walked down the block to Long Meadow Farms Store where he bought an ice cream cone and then went across the street to choir prac tice at the First Baptist Church.' Late Wednesday night, Har graves was taken from the local jail to the Coimty jail in Hills boro. He was further questioned there, and on Friday afternoon, he broke down and admitted killing Mrs. Edwards. According to Sheriff Clayton, Hargraves signed a lentby con- tessiooa, relating ithat he and Mrs. Edwards drove to a spot on the Haw River near where the body was found. Following an argument, Hargraves made her get out of the car and forced her to walk about SO yards to the river’s edge. There he said he picked up a rock to strike her but said his arm hit a limb and that he merely pushed her into the water and she drowned. On Saturday morning, a team of Orange and Chatham County law officers found the woman’s body floating at the precise spot Hargraves had described. Her skull had been bashed in just above the left e^, with a blow Chatham Coroner Dr. W. C. niomas said would have (urely resulted in her daath. following tile Questioning of Hargraves, it was brought dut by a number of reports that Mrs, Edwards had engaged in affaln with several other suitors in the area. It was because of bar in volvement in other affoirs which led to the fatal argument be tween her and Hargraves. Her husband, it is reported, eventi&Uy admitted that he had known for sometime that she had been having an affair with Hargraves. The dead woman was employ ed at the University Laundry. Hargraves worked at the Ack- land Art afuwum project.
