RETIRING POSTMEN: Flanked bv Postmaster Walter Smith (left) and John Motley, group leader in the Indianapolis Post Office, are two retiring postal workers who recently were awarded honorary service certificates for a combined total of more than 72 years in the postal service.

operator. Converted to career status in 1920, he became a mail-handler in 1924, a position he retained until his retirement last Nov 30. Charles McLaughlin saw brief service as a special delivery messenger in 1919, re-entering the postal service G‘s a' substitute mail-handler in

The Landrum-Griffin Lafdr Bill passed last year by Con-
That is the meaning of the decision reached by a federal grand jury impatneled here to investigate the lynching of the Negro pulpwood truck driver who had been accused of attacking a pregnant
white woman last Apkil.
The grand jury on Thursday of last week reported to U.S. District Judge Sidney Mize that ‘‘on the basis of the cvidmcc presented, we wore unable lo arrive at any
true bills.”
Stanford Moss, Gulfport attorney, who advised many of the witj nesses who were questioned by the j grand jury, was jubilant over the outcome of the investigation, j “SOUTHERN JUSTICE,” he announced, “has triumphed.” In New York City, Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the NAACP, sent a telegram to Atty. Gen William P. Rogers urging him to .eleasc the full text of the FBI’s exhaustive report on the case. It was at Rogers’ request that the i federal grand jury probe was in- : stituted after the case was ignored by a Pearl River County Grand
; Jury. .
In Washington, the jury’s action was regarded as* a blow to the
Republicans in the forthcoming

The jury of 20 white men and one Negro said it heard all 32 witnesses called by the attorneys during the nine-day investigation. Also available to the jury w T as a 378-page FBI report on its month-long investigation of the lynching, the same report made available to the county grand jury Mast November. The Pearl River, which yielded Parker’s body, separates Mississippi and Louisiana. But the body was discovered snagged on driftwood close to a bank on the Mis-
sissippi side.
During the session, the federal grand jury asked Mize to clarify some points of law, specifically provisions of the “Lindbergh” kidnap law and the Fifth Amendment.
