Paris was claiming for itself the
right to appear at that meeting
as West Europe s spokesman.
But most, other West European
governments are unsympathetic
with the French posture in North
Africa. They feared France would
try at a "summit" meeting to
commit other West European gov

latter did not believe.
With the great debate now to be
held in the 81-member General
Assembly, the West Europeans
are, to a greater degree, masters

West Europeans realize that a

WATER VALLEY, Miss. (UPII
An all-white jury Thursday ac
quitted a Mississippi sheriff of
charges he beat a Negro prisoner
to death in a case tried before
the same judge who presided over
the Emmctt Till case.
The dead man's wife immedi
ately announced she would leave
this tiny community for good be
cause she was "scared."
The jury, made up of farmers
and mechanics, deliberated 28
minutes before finding Yalobusna
County Sheriff J.G. I Buster I Trc
loar, 3(i, innocent of manslaughter
in the death of deliveryman Wood
row Wilson Daniels.
While the jury was out, Circuit
Judge Curtis Swango warned the
courtroom crowd: "There mur.i
be absolutely no demonstrations
when the verdict is read." Swango
also presided over the trial in 1955
of two white men accused of kill
ing Emmctt Till, a young Negro
who allegedly whistled at a white
woman. The men were acquitted.
But the verdict was greeted by
groans from agallery of Negroes
who had observed the four-day
proceedings from the courtroom
balcony. There were no further
demonstrations.
"I'm getting out of Wajcr Val
ley for good." said Mrs. Annie
Margaret Daniels, the Negro's
widow. "I'm hurt and I'm scared.
1 don't know how I'm ever going
lo pay Wilson's . medical and fu
neral expenses and take care of
our five children."
Prosecution witnesses luld the
jury Treloar beat Daniels repeat
edly with a blackjack while the
Negor was in jail on a bootleg

. Treloar admitted striking Dan
iels in defense of himself and
other prisoners, but denied hitting
the deliveryman on the head.
After the trial he picked up the
blackjack and put it in his pocket.
Russian Roulette
Fatal To Youth

Warren picked up a revolver in
Moore's home, inserted a bullet
in one of the five chambers and
said. "I think I'll play Russian

nothing happened. He pulled it a
second' time. A bullet entered his
right temple. He died instnhtlv.
ri7 When
UN talk
Uniled States and Britain through
the North Atlantic Treaty alliance
or the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation, in an em
barrassing situation.
West European governments
were annoyed that the U.S. land
ed troops in Lebanon without con
sulting its allies first. And even
post facto consultation and expla
nation has failed to convince all
European leaders that the Ameri
can action was the best possible
move, legal though it may have
been. v ,
But it is one thing for the West
Europeans to carp at the U.S. be
hind closed doors. It is quite an
other thing for them to vote
against the U.S. in the United Na
tions but it might be 'equally dif
ficult for many European leaders
to justify to their own constituents
a vote for a resolution expressing
full support of the American ac
tions in Lebanon.
Much will depend on Ihe word
ing of any resolutions the U.S.
may bring before the General As
sembly. Probably the U.S. will
have to "water down" its resolu
tions considerably, as it did its
resolutions on the Hungarian ques
tion in late 1956.
The West Germans are probably
more relieved at latest develop
ments than any of their neigh
bors. Bonn has always held that
the United Nations was the proper
forum in which to handle Middle
Eastern questions, political and
economic.
For that reason, Germany in
general supports the plan of Ital
ian Premier Amintore Fanfani to
channel economic aid to the Arab
Uates through the U.N.
And West Germany is in the po
litical advantageous posilion of
not being a member of the United
Nations. As an accredited observ
er at the New York headquarters.
it can make its influence felt, but
it doesn't have to stand up and
be counted.
West Germany also feared that
a summit conference might degen
erate into horse-trading in which
there would be an agreement to
neutralize the Middle East in re
turn for similar neutralization of
central Europe.
Official Bonn opposes neutraliza
tion of central Europe, and sees
less chance of such a deal being
arranged at the U.N. than at a
"summit" session.

Salvation Army Profile
Helps Those Who Need
By LOUIS CASSELS
Uniled Press International
Jesus shocked the religious lead
ers of his day by associating with
bums, prostitutes and other sin
ners. , .
In this respect, as in others, the
Salvation Army faithfully follows
in its Master s footsteps.
For nearly a century, its blue
uniformed soldiers have been
scandalizing respectable church
folk by beating tambourines on
street corners, holding prayer
meetings in jails, and mingling
unashamed with the outcasts of
society. '
The Salvation Army was found
ed by an English minister named
William Bootlv who felt that the
regular churches were failing to
reach out to the people who need
ed them most desperately. In
1865, Booth set up a dilapidated
tent in London's grubby East End
and 'began to preach tho Christian
gospel to " thieves, " gamblers,
drunkards and street-walkers. He
won many converts but the

Guild Expected
To Decide On
Defense Fund
SAN JOSE (UPD The Amer
ican Newspaper Guild, meeting in
its 25th annual convention,' was
expected to decide whether
lo "plough" a larger proportion of
dues into its defense fund.
The guild's international execu
tive board has recommended that
the present strike fund of $350,000'
be raised to one million dollars.
It has also recommended that'
each guild local put 5 per cent
of its dues into its own defense
funds.
A committee report on the de-;
fense fund topic was expected to
come before a general session.

West Coast Employment
Increased In May, June
SAN FRANCISCO 1 UPI' west
Coast employment increased with
more than seasonal strength be
tween May and June, according
to the tl.S. Department of Labor.
By mid-June, 5.700,000 wage and
salary workers were employed in
California. Oregon and Washington.-
That did not include agricul
tural and domestic employes.
churches did not want them. So
Booth put them to work to save
others like themselves.
Within a few years there were
thousands, of them conducting
open-air services in London
streets. They 7 were called "the
hallelujah army.'! :
The nickname cave Booth an
idea. In 1878, he organized his
fast-growing band along military
lines and gave it the official title,
the Salvation Army. The following
year the first Salvation Army unit
in the United States was organ
ized by Lieutenant Eliza Shirley,
an English girl who had moved
to Philadelphia with her parents.
Today the Salvation Army has
10,792 local "corps" and "out
posts" in 86 countries: Its U.S.
branch, one of the largest, has
more than 250,000 members. The
national commander is Commis
sioner Norman S. Marshall, whose
headquarters are in New York.
The Army's primary mission is
still the' same as it was when
General Booth set up his tent in
congressional bloc's "manifesto"
against mixing the races in
schools. He also took a more con
servative line than Gore on for
eign aid and foreign trade."
'Gore's victory could not be in
terpreted as evidence of any
slackening in .racial tension. But
his defeat would have' -been 'a
loud; clear signal to southern 'pol
iticians that taking the extremist
position on the segregation issue
was essential to political Sufvval.
There was- a widespread -belief
among Democrats in the' Senate
that Gore's real trouble was not
his record but his failure to give
enough attention to fence repair
in his home state:! ;v ' '
1 Incumbent ' members' of 'Con
gress usually are heavy favorites
when they seek renomination. No
senator who has sought renomina
tion this year' has been defeated
in the primaries so far-. Gore, the
15th to be renominated, won the
hard way and by a margin that
was 'less than overwhelming.

Help Most
London lo preach the Christian
gospel. But today its ministry to
down-and-outers includes their
physical as well as their spiritual
needs. . , .-."'
To outsiders, the impressive
fact about, the . Salvation Army's
far-flung welfare program is' its
utter lack of squeamishness. It
helps the people who need help
the most, and doesn't worry about
getting ils hands dirty in the
process. ' ' '
In more than 100 U. S. cities,
there are Salvation Army rehabil
itation centers' where men who
have "lost their grip on life" are
nurtured back to self-respect and
self-support through work-therapy
and counselingThese centers ac
cept the real skid-row alcoholics
who are too destitute and too dis
organized lo get effective help
anywhere else.
Other Salvation Army services
are almost. po, numerous to list.
The Army,, for example, pro
vides lodging houses for the in
digent and , for unwed mothers:
camps for slum children; Christ
mas cheer for. poor families; con
ducts religious services for pris
oners, organizes golden age clubs
for the elderly, and sponsors rec
reation centers for servicemen.
Its help is given solely on the
basis of need. .The cynic is as wel
come as the convert.
There are ho passive members
in the Salvation Army. Everyone
who enrolls as a soldier is ex
pected to devote as much time as
possible to the Army's work.
' Commissioned officers, the or
dained ministers of the Army, arc
trained at the four "cadet
schools" in New York, Chicago,
Atlanta and San Francisco. They
receive extremely modest sal
aries; out of which they must pur
chase their; own food and uni
forms. If they marry, they must
marry another Salvation Army of
ficer. They live "on post" at Sal
vation Army centers and are sub
ject to call :for duly 24 hours a
day. - . ::,'
Despite rigid economy which
holds overhead, costs to a mini
mum, the Army's vast program
of welfare services requires far
more money than can be contrib
uted by itskbwn faithfuliy-tithing
but generally poor membership.
The Army looks to the public
to bridge this gap. In some com'
munities, itTconducts an annual
"maintenance' appeal." In some,
it participates in Community
Chest or united givers campaigns.
In recent 'yetfrs, the Army has
revived 'considerable -'financial
support from members of the "re
spectable" Christian churches
who, no lorigei' scandalized, are
just a bit humbled by the -men
and women in .the blue uniforms.
