Thought Control
“As they roused in mankind the
determination to win political free
dom from dynastic tyranny, we can
ignite in mankind the will to win
intellectual freedom from the false
propaganda and enforced ignorance
of Communist tyranny. Through
knowledge and understanding, we
will drive from the temple of free
dom all who seek to establish over
us thought control—whether they
be agents of a foreign state or
demagogs thirsty for personal pow

Reporters asked James C. Hag

“demagogs,” or in any other sec

“I am not going to try to inter

Death Toll
Tops 300 Mark
For Weekend
By The Associated Press
The toll of dead on the nation’s
highways topped the 300 mark
Mbbday and a possibility, appeared
that homeward bound motorists
would break the all-time record for
Memorial Day holiday fatalities.
The National Safety council ap
pealed to drivers returning home
from weekend trips to drive safely.
During the first 72 hours of the
holiday after 6 p.m. Friday traffic
deaths across the nation totalled
301. There were 68 drownings and
53 deaths from miscellaneous
causes for a grand total of 422.
Ned H. Dearborn, president of
the National Safety council, said
that as the weekend dreAV toward a
close death was “playing a grim
nip-and-tuck game with motorists
to see if the traffic toll can be
held below the preholiday estimate
of 340 deaths.”
The traffic toll was far above
the fatalities for a “normal” May
weekend. Figures compiled by the
Associated Pi'ess for comparative
purposes for a 78-hour period, 6
p.m., May 14, to midnight, May 17,
showed 253 traffic fatalities, 50
drownings and 66 miscellaneous
deaths for a total of 359.

it shows Brazos county has from 25 to 50 per cent Negro students. Only
three counties—Harrison, Marion, and San Jacinto, all in East Texas, have
more Negro than white children. In another 77 counties, Negro school-
age children make up less than 5 per cent of the total. In 80 counties,
the figure ranges from 5 to 25 per cent, and in 41: counties, including
Brazos, the Negroes comprise 25 to 50 per cent of the total. (Fort Worth

SAN ANTONIO, Tex., May 31—

nation’s two returned turncoat pris
oners of war in Korea, today

ceive some $4,000 in back pay.
Batchelor did not speak during
the 20 minute session in the Ft.

Lt. Col. Francis R. Boyles, as
sistant staff judge advocate, 4th
Army, swore Batchelor to the af
fidavit and told Westbrook the
money would be paid by check “in
the next few days.”
In view of this action and the
Army’s agreement to supply trial
records of the Cpl. Edward Dicken
son case, Westbrook said he would
withdraw his application for a writ
of habeas corpus from the U. S.
District Court here.
The attorney for the soldier who
at first refused repatriation while
a Communist prisoner in Korea,
said he would ask the court to
“withdraw the action for the time
being.” He had also asked the
court to require the 4th Army Fi
nance Office to show cause why
Batchelor should not be paid.
Batchelor has been confined in
the post prison while the Army in
vestigates the possibility of court-
martialing him on charges of col
laborating with the enemy while a
prisoner.
