EIGHT MEDFOHD (OREGOK) MAIL TRIBUNE Thwdr. 29, HA Quotes From the News Br UNITED PRE6S Berlin Soviet military engineer G. I. Pokrovski, quoted by the East German news agency ADN on Russia claim of having tested an intercontinental ballistic missile: "Essential quality of the modern missile is its extreme accuracy of aim. Possible errors are expected to be not larger than six to 12 miles." Chicago Th National Safety Council, In appealing for I low holiday wek and death toll: . 'W did it on Memorial Day. Wdid it on the Fourth of July. W can do it again over Labor Day." Los Angeles Teamsters Union President Dav Beck, en his second indictment in less than four months on income tax evasion charges: "I certainly am not guilty. I never made out my own Income tax. I hired public accountants to do it. If mistakes were made, they made them. It s a legal question whether I'm responsible or not. Tokyo Itsuro Hayashl, dfeni attorney for GI William Girard, attacking lawyers Joseph S. Robinson and Earl J. Carroll for criticising Japanese legal procedures when they were 7,000 miles from the courtroom: "Robinson and Carrol don't know Japanese law and It takes tea much time to explain to those stupid American lawyers." New York Evangelist Billy Graham, on his New York Cru sade which ends Sunday: "I've been revived myself spiritually by what has happened in New York." Book Officially Closed on Emmett Till Murder Case By AL KUETTNER j United Press Correspondent Sumner, Miss. (IP) The Em mett Till case isn't mentioned around here any more. Not un less an "outsider" inquires about it. Then the old bitterness and anger wells up in the voices of the people. It was exactly two years ago that the 14-year-old Negro boy from Chicago, visiting an uncle, was snatched from his bed at 2:30 a.m. His body, battered and shot once through the head, was found four days later, feet float ing on the surface of the Talla hachie river, torso held down by weights. His offense had been "acting fresh" towards a Mississippi white woman. A jury of 12 men acquitted half brothers Roy Bryant and J. W. Milam of young Till's mur der after a sensational trial in th early fall of 1955 that OF FINAL DAYS ENDS SATURDAY AUGUST 31st brought reporters here from across the nation. Book Closed Today the book is officially closed on the Till case. The legal presumption must be that, since Bryant and Milam were acquit ted, the real . killer is still at large. But there is no continuing investigation. Barring the highly unlikely possibility that someone with conscience pangs comes forward to confess, there seems no like lihood that the case ever will be revived. Actually this is one of the most "progressive" areas of rural Mississippi in race relations. The state is completing for October the dedication of a fine Negro consolidated school two miles from the scene of the Till trial. There are good Negro schools dotting the landscape, including two at Money. No Crusade For the present, at least, local Negroes seem to have no heart for making any attempt to de mand school integration or breaking the color barrier. Outwardly, the Till incident seems to have created no lasting racial friction here. Negroes with whom I talked spoke of good feelings" between the two races. In the next breath, however, they acknowledged that the little town of Money has had few Negro visitors in the past two years because colored folks say they are afraid to stay here."
