Famous Glenbrook Tropical Worsteds Coat and Trousers Were $19.75 FLOGGING VICTIM ASKS FOR REPORT Miss Blagden Will Try to Inspect U. S. Data on Share Croppers. Miss Willle Sue Blagden, 28-year- old Memphis social worker, Socialist party member and share-cropper sym- pathizer, who was the victim of a near Earle, Ark, June 15 during trouble between planters and tenant farmers, was in Washington today, determined, if possible, to gain access to a confidential report made to the Department of Agriculture on conditions among the Arkansas share croppers. Her visit was to be brief, however. Arriving here late yesterday, she was interviewed by reporters, planned to visit the Agriculture Department this morning and then go to New York for several speeches, including one for the League for Southern Labor on July 22, on the tenant farmer problem. Later, Miss Blagden said, her counsel will proceed with efforts to prosecute the white men who flogged her and Rev. Claude Williams, Little Rock Presby- terian minister. The confidential report, she de- clared, was submitted to the depart- ment by Mary Connor Myers, a mem- ber of its legal staff, after a visit to the Arkansas cotton country, where a number of incidents have occurred since efforts began to expand the Southern Tenant Farmers Union. Conditions Deplored. Miss Blagden deplored living and working conditions and the wages of Southern tenant farmers, especially those in Arkansas. Share croppers there, she said, earn about 75 cents a day and out of this have to pay excrbitant prices at plan- tation commissaries for the necessities of life. Recounting incidents preceding the flogging, she said that a meeting of the 8. T. F. U. was broken up on June 8 at Earle, “with brutality and the use of ax handles.” Miss Blagden said she was not a member of the union but sympathized with its efforts. “Prank Weems, a Negro, who lived at [Earle,” she continued, ‘“was knocked unconscious and has not been seen alive since. Mr. Williams and I offered to help with a funeral for Weems on Tues- day, June 16, if we could find his body. There were & lot of rumors at that time that he was alive. You couldn’t have secured a colored min- ister to preach the service because of the danger involved. “We went to Earle to find Weems wife. A young man who took us to the neighborhood, Roy Morelock, was beaten while we were waiting for Weems' wife. When we reached the car, six well-dressed white men were ‘waiting for us. This was on Monday, June 15.” Drove to Plantation. After asking her and the minister questions, Miss Blagden said they were forced to drive to a plantation. The minister, she said, first was flogged. Then Miss Blagden was whipped. Miss Blagden is convinced her as- sailants were planters and that she knows their identity.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, TUESDAY, JULY “Lady Musher” Chance Arrival of By the Assocated Press. JUNEAU, Alaska, July 14.—The chance arrival of a motorboat fishing party led by Mary Joyce, Alaska's attractive “lady musher,” helped save Father Bernard Hubbard when his boat was wrecked recently in icy rapids of the Twin Glacier River, the explorer disclosed yesterday. Miss Joyce, who drove a dog team 1,000 miles last Midwinter to a Fair-; banks ice carnival, and her party had salled their boat downstream to view the rapids. “She was horrified, she told me later, to see a man on a rock and a wrecked boat in the raging waters,” Father Hubbard said. “She ran their boat ashore and found George Gatty, & member of our expedition. “He jumped in and piloted it down- stream. I leaped into it as it swirled past and we soon were safe below the rapids.” Describes Experience. Father Hubbard, describing the wrecking of the river boat from which he and Ken Chisholm, former Santa Clara foot ball player, had leaped “by almost a miracle” onto a rock, said it was the first serious mishap in his 10 years of Alaskan exploration. He gave great praise to Chisholm. | Father Hubbard’s specially built | light-weight steel boat and much val- uable equipment were lost in the acci- dent, which occurred last week. He ordered a new one shipped, but plan- ned to return to the scene Wwith a heavily built wooden river boat he | bought here. | “With the high water aiding us, we Had gone through the rapids both ways several times and all but the last i load of our tons of equipment were safe at our island base camp,” said the University of Santa Clara priest. | Freed Dogs and Jumped. | “The last trip, our propeller sheared | a rock.

With night coming on two hours later, Miss Joyce's boat appeared. The expedition will establish two more base camps, one on the Taku ice cap and a third at the Devil's Claw. Ascents of the Devil's Claw peaks are planned, as well as ice cap and other scientific observations on the Canadian side of the boundary. g . Largest Fruit of Kind.

By the Associated Press. WILMINGTON, N. C, July 14— Another flogging was reported from a remote section of Columbus County today on the heels of an inquiry into a band of girl-whipping, “night- riders.” Monroe Fowler, a 40-year-old South Carolina farmer who lives near the State line, walked into the sheriff’s office at Conway, S. C., and said he wag flogged four nights ago by a band of 25 masked, white-robed terrorists. ‘The farmer bared his back and ex- hibited a mass of deep-livid welts— the marks, he said, of the vigilantes’ lash. He offered no motive. “I was whipped with a belt six inches wide,” he said. “I fell on my knees, nearly unconscious, and then they jerked me up and beat me again.” Asked why he did not report the incident sooner, the farmer said he “I¥s a real piano” and only . .. .. $ 57.50 40-Note 3-Octave Size Only at Jordan's Features— * g . :,I.l-ll‘ Tuning © Full Iren Plate .
