hate was the serious wounding of little Walter Lee Berry, 903 Klgin street, as he stood watching a group of white men working on a government project along the river bank near his home. A bullet entered his leg above the ankle causing a two-inch wound. One of the men. identified as Elza Byers, was arrested by police and charged with aiming a firearm in connection with the shooting. He was released on $100 bond. Dr. Hurley, of the Moore-Hurley Clinic, HO North Cherry street, who made an examination advised the boy’s mother, Mrs. Lizzie Berry that immediate extraction of the bullet vvas hazardous, suggesting that it he permitted to remain until such time it could he removed without too great danger. Walter told police he and a companion. Bobby Dardin. age 11, 201*6 Elgin street, were sitting on the river bank watching three workmen when one of the men kneeled down, pointed what appeared to resemble a rifle directly- at him. He said with the sound of a shot he felt it enter his leg. Jerry Hunt, a neighbor, called police, who gave lirst-aid and left, the hoy said. Hunt said he called police a second time after seeing one of the men in the construction gang put 1 a .22-calibre rifle into an automobile. Police placed Byers under arrest when he admitted he was owner of the car. although he at first denied the shooting. At headquarters he told he had : been shooting turtles, making a . boast. “I am a crack shot. If I j had been aiming at this # boy I I would have killed him.” i When the hoy’s uncle, Aaron ! Lewis, and mother insisted on pros- | ecuting Byers, they said, they w r ere i told by a police officer. “This fel- ; low hasn’t any money. He doesn’t ! own any property, so why don’t you just let him pay the doctor’s bill.” Deputy Prosecutor Ernest Marrs warned them, they said, ‘‘You can’t give this fellow any time because he didn’t aim to do it. He can only he fined from $1 to $500.” Byers, a Kentuckian, said he would he willing to ‘ pay a small amount on the doctor’s bill, hut no more, because. “If you tile charges against me. I’ll get out on bond, go to Kentucky and get a lawyer, heat the case, and you won’t have any doctor’s bill, and it won’t cost me over four or five dollars, either,” the witnesses said. Walter's father is a member of the Armed Forces.

The commissioners contended the county is paying $200 a month to house the children in a build- ! ing condemned by the state fire j I marshal as a firetrap, that the ! county owns the property on the ! East Side, that it is now idle and its occupancy for the purpose suggested would result in a saving to j the taxpayers of the county. In his ruling. Judge Pritchard ' said there was no racial problem involved, as part of the residents in the vicinity of the proposed site were colored and part white, and that part of the children i placed in the Juvenile Detention home were white and part colored.

"All I had was a touple o' beers. Judge" # That’s the defense of the weakling, the spur-of-the-moment alibi, the plea of the man who can’t face the facts.

it into court.”

Bricker was told of the current budget difficulties in which the FEPC finds itself, and was asked

where »to comment again. He said he did

not know' how effective the committee has been and observed that “you can’t predicate for peacetime purposes upon the services they (have performed in war time.” Continuing he said ‘‘anything for fair employment, fair practice, is to be

commended.”

No reference in the questioning of Bricker has been made to a permanent FEPC, yet it appeared from his reply that he was conscious of the effort to secure statutory recognition for the agency.
