The name of the book is “The Revolution and the Fetishes’’ and has been the subject of considerable interest in recent months among Communists, "fellow-trav-elers” and anti-Commnnist intellectuals. :-.f The book is completely Marxist

and Leninist, but is extremely critical of the* French Communist party’s slavish obedience to whatever dogma comes out of Moscow. ’ Herve, who apparently still considers himself a good Communist, was particularly critical of the French Communist acceptance of such discredited Soviet scientific theories as the genetics of koThe slim volume amounted to a call for intellectual reform on the part of the French party.

Alabama Negro Girl Going Info Hiding Asserts Telephone Threats Continue BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (INS) — Authefine J. Lucy, 26, said today she was going into hiding because of a terror campaign over her court fight to continue as a student at the University of Alabama. The first Negro ever admitted to classes at the 125-year old university, told the New York Journal-' American in an exclusive interview: “I am still receiving threats over the telephone. Last night the phone here at my sister’s home rang every two minutes for nearly seven hours. “When one of us would pick ft up and say ‘Hello’ there would be no response at the other end. You could tell there was some one on there. You could tell that this was their way of threatening and trying to scare me." She said she would leave the home of her sister, Mrs. Ethel E. Moore, for a suburban hideaway where she will remain until Feb. 29 when the federal court hears her motion to order tbe university to readmit her. “I have promised to tell no one where I will stay," she said. Her decision to go into hiding, she said, was reached by herself, her attorney, Arthur D. Shores, and her advisors in the national association for the advancement of colored people. Racial tension mounted in other parts of the state as attorneys for the university announced they would appeal to the U. S. supreme court against an order opening the school to Negroes. In Montgomery, Circuit Judge Eugene Carter instructed the grand jury to investigate the prolonged Negro bus boycott to determine whether it was legal. Another boycott was threatened at Tuskegee — site of the fame# Negro Tuskegee Institute. In the weekly news letter of the Tuskegee civic association the membership committee carried an editorial urging Negroes to boycott merchants “not sympathetic to your becoming a registered voter.” Hospital Technician Assumes Duties Here Miss Patricia Lucas, formerly employed at a hospital in Porta% N- M., has arrived in Decatur aud assumed duties as medical technician at the Adams county memorial hospital. She succeeds Ralph McCuddy, Jr., who resigned* to accept a position elsewhere.

The proposed barracks would be a 130,000 building similar to those being built for state police around the state and the post would consist of 18 troopers for Lake county —not for the toll road. In asking approval, Supt. Frank A. Jessup said Lake county's large population and the heavy highway and rail travel into and out of the Chicago area, particularly on U. S. 41, 20 and 12, were prime factors. The board also asked Jessup to continue investigating the needs for traffic policing at the eastern end of the toll road and the possible need of a post in that area. At the same time, warden Don Byington, at federal prison near Terre Haute, told state police federal authorities have approved deeding or leaslpg six acres of farmland belonging to the prison to state police for a post that would serve Vigo, Sullivan, Parke and Versailles county as part of the, Putnamvllte district. Sites were approved earlier for posts at Kentland, Bloomington, Versailles. These three, the Terre Haute post, and a post now operating at Redkey were included in the 3200,000 for five posts approved by the last legislature. In addition to Redkey, posts recently have been put Into full operation at South Bend, Peru, Fort Wayne and Evansville as part of the state police decentralization plan to make trooper service more efficient and available to all sec tions of the state.

Britain To Debate ;; Em To Executions re- will Air AbolitioiV Os Death Penalty es LONDON (INS) — The ghosts es of men and women who died at he the hands of the hangman will be ub raised again Thursday when Britng ain's parliament debates a poB- -- slble end to the death penalty. m ‘ This controversial question facing prime minister Sir Anthony Eden is charged with emotion and packed with potential political dynamite. < The abolition of capital punishment has been argued fiercely and frequently in parliament, and tentative efforts have been;made on several occasions to change, or at least modify, the present laws. But death on the gallows still is the fate of most convicted murderin- era in Britain under a tough Jus>P tice which allows few appeals and ite recognizes no degrees of homicide, a Several dramatic cases of the past and at least two of recent be months are certain to be dragged , ae into the debate by those members nd of parliament who believe hanging )n should be ended. ,ty These include the cases of Derek Bentley, who admittedly killed nont body; Timohty Evans, who lived ge tn the notorious “murder house of ay Nottlnghlll”; Ruth Ellis. the he blonde model who shot her lover, s and “the case of the policeman* rg who didn’t die." t 0 Derek Bentley and another teends ager were arrested while allegedrn ly trying to break into a ware)s house, and a pollcman was shot to death in the scuffle. The 19-year-old Bentley was hanged, since the law held him . equally guilty, but the other boy, . who actually fired the shot, was . too young at 16 to be executed. ° Timothy Evans was accused of killed his wife and baby daughter, Tj and was hanged on the second K® charge. Later the now - infamous of mass murderer John Christie, who lived in the same house, confessed or to killing six women. The Evans ‘ n ’ case never has been re-opened, re though many people feel it should sr be in an effort to clear his name. in There was no question of Ruth e<l Elllg’ guilt; she shot her lover to death in the view of witnesses, and re ' spectators at her trial said she seemed to want to go to the gal-. ,rt lows. of But the Ellis case stirred up a on storm of controversy in Britain. re Many people claimed that in *c France she might have been acquitted on a “crime of passion" defense; while in America her attorney could have made a good ease for a charge of second-degree murder. •- ’ ’ A month ago three men •— Arthur Thompson, Richard Eemery and h James Powers — were released . from prison after other confessed

to a savage attack on a policeman for which they had * served two years.

The policeman didn’t die. but he came close to death and if he had succumbed Thompson. Emery and lowers—all innocent of the crime '—might have been executed. But It should not be assumed from these cases-which the abolitionists are certain to use as ammunition — that there Is overwhelming majority sentiment in Britain for an end to hanging. The supporters of capital punishment can' be expected to muster an equal number of famed cases; grim stories of calculating, brutal killers who were mourned by nobody when they went to the gallows. ■ The abolutionists claim public opinion is now turning toward their side, but polls by different newspapers have swung both directions, proving only that capital punishment is a hot issue. Members of parliament are expected to have a "free" non-party vote on the matter, and the betting' Is that commons may approve abolition while the house of lords supports the death penalty. — ' Church Is Damaged By BB Gun Shpt The Naaarene church at the corner of Marshall and Seventh streets was damaged Sunday afternoon by BB gun shot It is not known whether the damage was deliberate or the result of glancing shot, but parents are urged to try to curb the improper use of he pellet guns-
