Federal Grand Jury to Review Parker Lynch Case Biloxi, Miss. - (UPD-The ques tion of whether the lynchers of Mack Charles Parker will be brought to trial rests with a federal grand jury which convenes here Monday. A state trial on charges of murdering the Negro rape sus-; pect was ruled out in Novem ber when the Pearl River county grand jury ignored the case. One thing is certain: The federal jury will not ignore the lynching. Many Subpenaed At least a score of persons, including some of the seven Pearl River county white men identified by the FBI as part of the lynch mob, have been subpenaed to appear before the jury. The 23-man grand jury will be selected from a venire of 44 south Mississippi men, a few of whom are believed to be Negroes. Also, a few of the men are from Pearl River county. Witnesses' appearances have been scheduled in a period ranging from Monday through Jan. 14, indicating the "jury will spend two weeks or more on the case.

The expedition was sched Japan's Cuts in Birth Rate Follows Economic Recovery Tokyo - (UPD - First, it was Japan's spectacular post-war economic recovery that amaz ed the world. Now, it's Japan's stunning record of cutting its birth rate in half since 1947. In a nation that has nearly 640 persons per square mile compared with about 58 in the U.S., this accomplishment has been called the "miracle of Asia." Only 12 years ago. Japan was listed as the nation with the 40th highest annual birth rate in the world, exceeded only by six Latin-American nations, Egypt, Ceylon and Palestine. Today, its birth rate is one of the lowest on earth. A few of the reasons for Justice Department's civil rights division, Ben Brooks and William Kehoe, arrived here a week ago to assist U.S. Dist. Atty. Robert Hauberg of Jackson in preparing the case. Dragged from Cell Parker, awaiting trial for raping a white woman, was dragged from a jail cell at Poplarville before dawn last April 25. His bullet-riddled body was later found in the Pearl river. The FBI, using up to 60 agents, conducted a month long investigation and turned a 378-page report of its find ings over to state authorities. The Justice Department said no federal laws had been vio lated and the case was a mat ter for the state. But the U. S. government immediately moved back into the case when a regular Pearl River county grand jury dis banded Nov. 5 without even a mention of the case. The jury did not call for any tes timony in the case and did not ask to read the FBI report. Jury Statement In its final report the jury said that "from the standpoint of good citizenship and law enforcement, our county com pares favorably with any in the entire world." Circuit Judge Sebe Dale told the jury that "our county, state and nation will be preserved by citizens such as you." Attorney General William Rogers called the lack of state action "as flagrant and calcu lated a miscarriage of justice as I've ever seen."

Among them: -A large segment of public opinion favors birth control. 2 Children 'Ideal' -The majority of Japanese families today regard two chil dren as the "ideal size1 for a ! family. -There is a lessening of parental dependence on chil dren for support. -The large number of abor tions in Japan. But this tells only part of the story. Japan "had to face a ser ious economic chaos" in the past decade, Chikao Honda, president of the PPRC, wrote in a preface to the survey. "The drastic decline ... (in the birth rate) . . . was-due to the fact that Japanese people were promptly, awakened to the menace of overpopulation . . . ," Honda added. So, in 1948, the Diet (Par liament) relaxed existing re strictions against contracep tion, abortion and steriliza tion. Law Passed A "eugenic protection law" was passed with the twin ob jectives of protecting women whose health would be endan gered by childbirth and pre venting inferior progeny that might be expected of chil dren born to unhealthy mo thers. The law also permits the ex tension of birth control facil ities and sterilization in cer tain cases for health reasons. What led to this was the fact that Japan's birth rate in 1947 had leaped more than 40 per cent over the rate for 1945 -from 23.2 per 1,000 popula tion in 1945 to 34.8 in 1947. Population experts pointed out that at that rate there would be 100,000,000 Japan ese in a land area the size of the state of Montana by 1980.

RIVERSIDE - MEDFORD uled to sail from Seattle, Washington on New Years Day aboard the 100 ft. refrig eration ship "Alert." The voyage is expect ed to take a month. ed with assistance from the Rockefeller Foundation, be gan a pilot project in 1950 for population control in three rural villages. It also estab lished courses on the use of contraceptive methods. It was found that nine tenths of the women contacted desired to limit the size of their families, ith this kind of cooperation, it was not sur prising that within three years the birth rate in these villages declined sharply, And statistics for the entire nation showed that the birth rate had dropped to 17.2 per 1,000 by 1957. Several aspects of post-war Japan aided the decline. For one thing, Japan's post-war generation was marrying much later than its parents had. For another, thousands of Japanese began to emigrate, mostly to Latin America. ... David C. Coyle, writing in a recent bulletin of the Popu lation Reference Bureau of Washington, D.C., cited influ ence of U.S. Occupation Forces in Japan in tending to encour age birth control. Factors Listed He listed such factors under the occupation as the land distribution policy, the aboli tion of primogeniture, the granting of equal rights to women, and the wider educa tion made possible through contacts with Americans. In addition, Coyle pointed out that Japan is the only in dustrialized nation in Asia, has the highest degree of lit eracy in Asia, has had univer sal compulsory education for the last 75 years and has long maintained advanced educa tion and research institution's "comparable to those in West ern nations." Japan's "success in con troling the explosive popula tion growth is the miracle of Asia," Coyle said. Japanese experts have been quick to note, however, that the birth control movement has produced some not so salutary effects. They pointed out for example, the number of abortions had jumped from 246,000 in 1949 to 1,170,000 in 1955. goes along for deride. 'v top hat, white lies, and tales. used by a mountain climber.

In squelching mud and un der a driving rain, 82 mem bers of the "direct action com mittee against nuclear war" had tried to pitch tents on the road outside the Royal Air Force rocket camp. Backing them up were more than 200 members of the na tional campaign for nuclear disarmament, who offered moral support but refused to join in the direct action com mittee's open defiance of the law. But action group members announced beforehand that they were ready to go to jail to publicize what they termed "the suicide" of allowing stockpiles of nuclear rockets on British territory. Christmas in Jail Before they set out for the desolate camp site, the group heard messages of encourage ment from two London pris ons.
