Mr- Of futt said that the amount of the budget was established only after two months of personal study of each agency budget by all mem bers of his committee.

WHITE MAN BEATS NEGRO TO DEATH; LOSES JOB Memphis, Aug. 22 (ANP) With evidence developed, indicating thet Roger Richardson, Shelby County Penal Farm inmate, died last week from a beating at the hands of a guard rather than the heat as Was alleged by prison officials, Chief of Police Oliver Perry assigned 2 deputy sheriffs to investigate the case. The dismissal of a gang foreman, P. O. Morrow, and a guard, L. G. Wilson, followed closely Richardson’s death. This action, according to County Com missioner 0. . Ellis, was taken not because of Richardson’s d tath, however, but because the circum stances were incorrectly reported. The action of Chief Perry im scheduling tyfo deputies to the case came after a prisoner wrote him, declaring Richardson’s death to be the direct result of a beating by a guard, who is said to have struck him three times after he, apparently overcome by the heat, had fallen to the floor. County Commissioner Ellis, in reporting the case, said that Rich ardson refused to return to work Wednesday morning after a rest peiod, and appeared dazed by the heat. Wilson ordered, him hack to work and a scuffle followed, bringing to the scene another guard, Coleman, who slapped Ric hardson down. It was then that Wilson allegedly struck the pris oner several times. Removed to the Penal Farm from Cap'eville where the gang was working, Richardson died almost immediate ly. He was working out a $25 fine for drunkeness Kinston School Damaged By Fire Kinston, N. C. Aug. 22 (ANP) A fire of undetermined origin did considerable damage to the Tower Hill School here last week.
