Washington, DC.—A petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking the release of Corporal Jake Sullivan attached to the Walterboro. S. C. Army Air Field, will be prepared by . XAACP attorneys, it was announe- ' ed here last week by Thurgood Marshall, the Association’s chief counsel. Corporal Sullivan was arrested June 10, 1945 after an altercation in a taxicab leaving the Walterboro | Field for town. City authorities' refused to turn him over to the mil itary, presented his case to the ! grand jury the next morning and/ tried him the next afternoon at 21 pm., without allowing him either aj civilian or military attorney for his defense. As the story goes, in the cab. which had a colored driver were two white soldiers and two white girls in the rear seat, Corporal Sul livan, a colored boy, and the driver in the front seat. After the cab left the gate of the field some re marks were passed. A fight start ed and one of the white soldiers was knocked "cold." From here on the story is a con fused one of the cab returning to the gate, reporting the incident to an M. P. on duty, and then starting out to try to find a passing auto mobile which had picked up the knocked-out white soldier. This hunt finally involved a third car. The woman driver of it called in special policemen and city police men, with the result that Corporal Sullivan was arrested. The city police claim Sullivan (who was an amateur boxer In civ Frozen Hopes r> p. By GEORGE S BENSON c|£{jfyUUj President of Harding College lly f Searcy, Arkansas J|| m ~L SAYING what a man earns, ex pressing it in cents per hour or dollars per year, tells but little about the measure of prosperity he enjoys. Good living depends on many things that change from time to time and differ from place to place. Prosperity depends, in very large part, on what people must pay for the things they need and want. Ben Franklin’s discovery of electricity became a great dis covery when electric lights began costing less than oil lamps. The automobile became a great inven tion when cars were priced down where only rich people could af ford to own horses. Putting con veniences and luxuries in reach of a large number of people helps to build a nation’s prosperity. Pay for .PLAIN people pay Service ri«fcly for favors; plain people are so many. Names like Edison, McCormick and Ford stand for huge estates because these men did a real serv ice for a lot of plain people. Actu ally, the thing that inspires me chanical inventors to invent, is the chance to earn from a free people their reward for valuable service. Edison, McCormick and Ford didn’t need to hawk their ideas, neither did Bissell, Denton, Park er and O’Sullivan, but Foster Gunnison had to sell his. Gunni son’s inventions came later. Do you ask, “Who is this Gunnison man?” Well, he is a great in ventor, not yet famous. But, un less I miss my guess, he is Amer ica’s post-war Henry Ford. I Big Ideas GUNNISON invent For Sale ed a prefabricated house and worked out a plan to build it in mass produc tion. His units were scientifical ly constructed, insulation built in' thoroughly modern in every de tail. Individually, his house mod els are so different that a tourist might drive past 100 of them in a row and never guess that they were drawn by the same archi tect. They come in eight sizes with great variety in looks. They are better than any house possible to build of old - line material for the same money. They have everything from bathtub to gar bage grinder, economy and con venience; a poor man’s palace, amortized to $1 a day. But the inventor sold to the U. S. Steel Corp.—Why ? He lacked capital and, under today’s tax laws, never could make much profit. The giant cor poration can run the project in the red and deduct early losses from war profits. Unless our war time tax laws are changed, every fertile idea in this inventive na tion will have to hatch under the wing of some huge corporation that exists already. TRUE TIME EXTENSION FOR III YINK FARM HOMES Washington, DC—A request that the Department of Agriculture ex tend the time during which bids may'be received on the Delmo labor homes in Southeast Missouri was made last week to Clinton P. And erson SeScretary of Agriculture, by the NAACP. The Delmo homes, in accordance with the recent act of Congress, are to be sold by the Farm Security Administration. They were built in 1939 at a cost of more than $500, 000 following the «^etion of over 1 500 sharecroppers from cotton plantations in Southeast Missouri. Farm families moved in and have occupied the homes up to the pres ent time, but certain influences in the area, including some of the plan tation owners, have been agitating to have the government sell the homes and thus place the share croppers at the mercy ot the plan tation owners on their pre-1939 basis. The farm workers have petitioned the government to delay the selling with the idea that they may be able to raise funds if given time, to pur chase the homes for themselves. A bill wag introduced in Congress pri or to the recesg in JJuly to enable them to purchase the homes but it did not reach the floor. TAKES *l<ktO POLICY IN FAVOR OF NAACP Durham, NC—A T.

In his letter to the NAACP ann ilian life) slugged one of the police men with a hard right to the jaw and was in turn beaten with a blackjack, or vice versa. An investigator from tiie air field was told Sullivan would ?iot l>e turned over to military authorit ies, but was told that Sullivan would be called to trial the same day. Military authorities did^-'Mot learn of Sullivan’s trial until four hours after it occurred. Sullivan was convicted on charg es of resisting an officer and of ’’highly aggravating asgault" and sentenced to two years at hard la bor, beginning his sentence, Juno 13 in the State Penitentiary at Col umbia. Investigation of the ease resulted in the following findings, among others; 1. That the background of ‘"or poral Jake Sullivan is such that he could not have the ability or know ledge to sufficiently represent him self at his trial. 2. That Corporal Jake Sullivan was tried in the court of law for a misdemeanor and a felony without being represented by any counsel. 3. That Corporal Jake Sullivan suffered a substantial injury to his rights by not having had the oppor tunity to procure the advice of coun sel or to prepare his defense. 4. That the indictment and trial of Corporal Jake Sullivan was un fair and prejudicial in its entirety. 5. That the military authorities were not given a reasonable oppor tunity to request, through proof channels, the return of Corporal Jake Sullivan to military control. ouncing his gift, Mr. Spaulding wrote: "I regret that I cannot do more at this time, for by focusing the attention of America on some of Its faults and shortcomings—which might otherwise be overlooked— the NAACP keeps the nation mind ful of its obligations and duties to minority groups, and endorses acts of fair play in the field of human relationships. If your friend ie one who will see your faults and tell you, rather than someone else, then the NAACP is a friend of de mocracy and an asset to our nation for it constantly calls attention to the injustices in our societ-Iy and procedures which tends to under mine the foundations of a healthy morale, and to militate against the principles of true democracy.” SUBSCRIBE NOW!
