DANVILLE, 111. (IP — The mayor of Danville and the
commanding general of nearby Chanute Air Force Base
feuded today over whether the town’s bawdy houses are
corrupting the general's men.
Mayor , Girth N. Hide* called
t Brig. Gen. A. M. Minton a “pub
licity seeking, swivel-chair gen
eral."
“You look after your camp, gen
eral. and we will look after our
city.” Hicks said In an oped letter.
Minton retorted that eight of his
e airmen had come, down with ve
f nereal disease after visits to nine
- brothers In Danville. ,
- He called for an open conference
- to map plans for protecting his
men.
i “ft is the public responsibility ss
s wen as mine to be concerned with
the welfare of the 17-10 year old
airmen in my command," he said.
The feud boiled up while Hicks
was on a visit to Georgia. He re
turned to find that Minton had
called in Sheri ft William C. Hen
drickson and given him a list at
alleged bawdy houses in this city
of 34,000 persons, located 40 miles
from Chanute.

On Incest Charge
Alonzo McLean, an old

man charged with commit

old daughter, was acquitted
by the jury in Harnett Su

The father of 12 children and
appearing without a lawyer to de

worn in jail, McLean told the jury
he was framed because he refused
to pay the hills on the child bom
to his daughter.
Mary Flora, the 19-year-old
daughter who took the stand yes

had relations with her when she
was 14 yean old and was the father

She had told him, he claimed,
that she had relaUons with two
men and didn't know which of them
was the father. The colored man
spoke quietly as he met the accus

leveled against him.
It took the jury only 35 or 40
minutes to agree on acquittal. Soli
