Y_The Sup reme Court of Missippi yester day ordered a new trial for Wil lie McGee. 30 year old Negro of Laurel, Miss, who was under a death sentence for alleged rape of a woman. The unanimous decision of the Supreme Court followed an appeal by the Civil Rights Congress through its at torneys headed by Forrest B. Jackson of Jackson, Miss. The Congress hailed the decision as a great victory and announced it is making immediate preparations for the new trial. In an opinion prepared by Jud ge Virgil A. Griffith, the' court held that, because McGee was en titled to a change of venue at the time of the original trial, he is now entitled to a new trial in an atmosphere and with an opportu ne that will permit and will not i paralize the development of the [ case. ; Original verdict in the case which would have sent McGee to the chair on January 7th, was ap pealed by Javkson on the grounds that he was hurried to conviction under pressure of mob and race hysteria. Public feeling in Laurel where the crime was alleged to have been committed and where IJUKls JMEWLAND A\D ARTHUR B. McCAW TO ASSIST THE 0. P. A. OMAHA, June 19, 1946 A whisp of a colored girl put her 115 lbs. against a dam to help stem the rising tide of inflation. She is Doris Newland. daughter of Mrs. Myrtle Collier, 2908 Frank lin St., who this week returned to the ranks of the District OPA office in Omaha after receiving her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology at Bennett College, in Greensboro, N. C. where she fin ished a four-year course in three. Miss Newland interrupted her college year in 1943 to serve with the OPA in controllfng prices and when allied victory was imminent, she left to complete her education. She said she couldn’t resist re turning to OPA at this critical time in order to have the opportu nity to “serve my people in the fight against rising prices”. “When inflation hits, if price control goes, my people wall num ber among the first victims”. ‘ People with fixed incomes, in all races, will suffer untold hard ships if price control is WTecked. “My studies have made me very conscious of the social chaos w'hich would result from another depres sion. Only by maintaining the eco nomic security of the nation with price control can my people, and other people, continue to share in the good things of life.” Miss Newland pointed out that if people pay no more than top ceiling prices, they give the little fellow a chance to get his fair share of scarce commodities. Although Miss Newland is a slip of a girl, her ambition^ are gi gantic. When OPA’s battle is won “perhaps in a year”, she plans to return to college to work for a Masters’ degree in psychiatric social work. The determined gleam in her eyes reflects her hopes for a doctorate ‘some day’. Miss Newland is not alone among her race in the battle against inflation. Edwin R. Moran District OPA Director, has announ ced the appointment of Arthur B. McCaw, Boys’ Work Secretary of the Omaha Urban League, as the racial representative to the Om aha downtown Community Infor mation Panel of the Price Control Board. Since his apointment OPA investigators have surveyed the North 24th Street area for viola UUUS. McCaw called on all citizens to cooperate with the government's battle against inflation by report ing any overcharges to the local Board. He said he would gladly assist any complainants in mak ing such a report. the trial was held, was so inflam ed that McGee’s attorneys were unable to obtain affidavits in sup port of the plea for a change of venue, Jackson charged. Even re latives of the defendant were too intimidated to act, he stated. McGee had been held without bail in the nearby Hinds County Jail for 30 days prior to his trial I ! because the Jones County sheriff had informed the governor that he was unable to protect the pri soner, CRC stated in the appeal brief. Brought to the Jones Coun ty courthouse in custody of the State Militia, McGee was at the time of the trial so incapicitated by reason of insanity, shock and fright that he was unable to ad vise with counsel or to make any coherant statement toe, them, ac cording to the appeal. CRC also argued that, because of McGee’s condition and the at mosphere in Laurel, there was no chance to prepare a defense; that the circuit court refused to ar range examination of his sanity by competent physicians, and that on the basis of evidence presented the court erred in not directing a verdict of not guilty. In addition to a change of ve nue, CRC asked a proper inquiry < into McGee's sanity, delay in the i ■ trial until he recovered from the i shock, and adequate time to pre- ■ pare a defense. < The prisoner was entitled to a change of venue before there was i any hearing on the question of i sanity because h ewas entitled to 1 a fair opportunity to procure a i RELIABLE RADIO j SALES & SERVICE S 2907 Q Street if RECORDS, if NEEDLES if PHONO-COMBINATIONS (SERVICE IN HOMES IF POSSIBLE ) ni- =ir=-=1!--...:..-.ir== -:i- J-in.1-. n SEE P0STE1S AS GOOD AIDS IN TAVEKN SELF BEGDLAT10N LINCOLN—Poster-bulletins issued by the Nebraska Commit tee, U. S. Brewers Foundation, are a subject of discussion here among three of the speakers at the organization’s eighth annual convention, held here last week. Pictured left to right are Jackson B. Chase, chairman of the Nebraska liquor control commission, District Judge Lyle E. Jackson of Neligh, and Charles E. Sandall, state director of the Nebraska Committee. Judge Jackson, who gave the principal address, called the self gulation program as carried on by Judge Sandall and the Ne aska Committee “a powerful striking force for public good.” e declared “the program steers a sound middle course between e extreme of prohibition on one hand and weak controls on the f her”. Helpful suggestions for better tavern operations appear in bulletins such as the specimens shown on the display. Center pages are made up in large posters for display in taverns, and carry messages designed to help retailers maintain orderly and law-abiding conditions. New Platters by Count Basie NEW YORIC—There's good news in sight for Cunt Basie fans with the announcement this week that two new platters by the Cou- j fair and impartial jury on the is sue of sanity as much as he was to have such a jury on the merits of the charge, the decision states. Decision granting the new trial tvill be final June 25th, with the prosecution having the right to appeal in the meantime. The case will be retried in the next term af the Jones County Circuit Cou rt, which begins October 7th. Charged with rape of a white tvoman whose only identification af her assailant was that he had kinky hair and wore a sweatshirt McGee was convicted, according t° Z:RC officials, on the basis of# an inbelievable tale of rape with ‘out waking a child in the same bed. mother in the same room and a lusband in the next room He was jiven a brief sanity trial at which >nly laymen testified and senten ;ed on the same day to death in ;he electric chair. Appeal of the rerdict brought an automatic stay >f execution. Full resources of the Civil rights ■ongress will be mobilized for the lefense of McGee. >y the Columbia Recording Corp. it will be released during the nexl month. The first new Basie Platter, slated for release June 17, paired Lazy Lady Blues’ and ‘High Tide’ two diversified selections that show off the incomparable Basie rhythms to excellent advantage. ‘Lazy Lady Blues’ was penned by Leonard Feather, the noted jazz critic and composer, and serves as an ideal vehicle for the voice of Jimmy Rushing. The flipover, of ‘High Tide’, is a unique Basie or iginal which the Count has been highlighting in his current stage presentation at the Roxy Theatre featuring the ensemble playing of trumpet, clarinet and tenor sax in the opening and closing choruses. The Count’s long-awaited wax ing of Irving Berlin's 'Blue Skies' which also features Jimmy (Mr. Blues) Rushing, will be released early in July with ‘Avenue C’ as its plattermate. Basie will hold over for a fourth week on the Roxy stage through June 21, his fast moving show having won the plaudits o ferities and the public alike. Upon concluding at the Roxy, the Count will embark upon a month of one niters and then re turn to Manhattan July 25 to open a four week stand at the Aquarium Cafe on Broadway in his first local nitery appearance in more than a year and a half.
