"Gee whiz,

Right now, for a nickel a day, about one
third of all American families light their
homes, play their radios, run their vacuum
cleaners. It's a fact that the average house
hold rate for electric service is only about
half of what it was 15 years ago.
For two nickels a day, about two-thirds of
all American families operate lights, radio,
cleaner, toaster, percolator, clocks and
washer.
That makes the electric nickel just about the
biggest double-decker in the world!
How was it done? By good business man

LAUNCH IN
VESTIGATION
INTO FATAL SHOOTING OF
NEGRO SERGEANT
Little Rock, Ark., April 2 (ANP
The fatal shooting of a Negro sol
dier by a city policeman here last
Sunday evening during a melee in
the Negro district in connection
with the arrtst of another colored;
soldier has brought on two separ
ate investigations to determine
who was at fault, and whether the
accounts of the principals involv
ed in the altercation are true. The
separate investigations were be
gun early Monday, but neither
militant authorities or civil auth
orities would release any inform
ation other than that a full report
will he made public after the in
vestigations had been closed
The victim of the shooting was
Sgt. Thomas B. Foster, 30 year
old native of Zebulon, N. C., who
enlisted in the army last May 31,
at Baltimore. He was a member
of the 92nd engineer battalion,
which was sent to Camp Robinson
here several months ago to do con
struction work.
According to city police, the
shooting began with the unsuccess,
fu] attempt of a crowd of Negro
es, led by Foster, to liberate Pvt.
Albert Glover, also of the 92nd en
gineers, who had been arrested by
MP’s for drunken.ess. Patrolman
A. J. Hay, who shot Foster four
times said that he and Patrolman
George Henson went to the assist
ance of two military police who
had arrested Glover and were
barred by a crowd of Negro civil
ians from taking him ti their army
truck.
“I asked the MP’s to let me help
them as I had been trying to hold
the crowd back. I got hold of
Foster and he threw me down on
the ground and took my night
stick. I jumped up before he did.
I pulled my gun and shot him.”
Foster was shot four times, two
bullets entering his abdomen, one
breaking his left arm, and the
fourth entering his left side
Eyewitnesses, however, tell a dif
ferent version. They say the epi
sode began when Pvt. Glover was
ordered out of town by MP’s who
charged that he was intoxicated.
Glover agreed to leave as soon as
he found a buddy, whose identity
is unknown as yet, who would ac
company him back to the post.
Later he was accosted again by
MP’s to whom he explained why
he still remained in town. He
was thereupon arrested.
A sworn statement made by
Gliver, who admits being drunk,
states that the MP’s grabbed him
and beat him, but that he “doesn’t
remember civilian police having
anything to do with his arrest and
beating.” Reliable eyewitnesses,
however, saw civilian police club
Glover with night sticks, injuring
him painfully. Glover had to be
taken to the Medical aid station
where first aid was administered.
Still in custody of military pol
ice, Glover was taken from tV
state to the MP patrol car park
ed about a block away Foste”,

ped the arresting MP’s to question
them about the incident. His re
fusing to move away without any
explanation caused the MP’s to at
tack and arrest him.
Foster, determining not to be
arrested, fought them off. Here
conflicting stories are told as to
the rioting mob. White dailies re
ported that "a mob of Negroes
was aiding Foster,” while eyewit
nesses say that Foster was fight
ing alone, with bystanders looking
on.
Six other MP’s joined the fight
to subdue Foster, using night
sticks. Civilian policemen, who
followed the MP’s throughout the
altercation, entered the fight and,
Sgt. Foster was clubbed until he
quieted By this time the scene
had shifted across the street and
about one fourth of a block from
the medical aid station in front of

his back against the wall, Foster
was beaten Until he subsided.
Policeman Hay is then said to
have reached over the shoulder of
the MP who had Foster by the
shoulder and hit the defenseless
soldier. Fostipfr- immediately re
sumed his fight, this time attack
ing Hay. Although he knocked
Hay down, he was himself beaten
to the ground by MP’s. Then Hay

while Foster was lying on the
ground in a semi-conscious state,
and drew his gun and emptied five
chambers, four of which struck

out that although students and

the students, “If you keep at it.
