LYNCHINGS ARE HELD BLOT ON CITY'S CULTORE ‘Disastrous’ Effect Seen on Marion Citizens by Negro Leader. Another generation will be needed in Marlon. Ind., before that city fully has recovered from the cultural setback caused by the lynching of two Negroes on the courthouse lawn last summer. This conclusion is reached by William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, writing in The Nation, liberal weekly, for April 15. Under the title, “Aftermath of a Lynching,” Pickens points out the strained attitude of racial hatred that has followed from the night of mob rule and the trials without conviction of the mob men. “I visited Marion just a few months before the lynching,” Pickpns writes. “At that time the colored people gave a banquet for me, to which the mayor, the police chief and other city officials and prominent citizens came by invitation. Colored People Law-Abiding “They ate and drank with us. “nicy declared that the colored people were on the whole the most law-abiding and the best citizens in Marion. But seven months after the savage lynching, many white people frowned or growled at the sight of a colored person; friendly greetings were rare, suspicion quick. “We always fear and suspect those whom we have injured.” Tribute is paid by Pickens to the effort of Merl Wall and Earl Stroup, deputy attorneys-general, to secure convictions at the two trials of men charged as mob leaders. "But it was plain that the mob spirit was dominating the trial and the court,” the writer concludes. "At the trial, while .the judge seemed to be professional, the general atmosphere of the court was biased.” Prosecutors Insulted Court subordinates would frequently insult the prosecutors and objections made by them to the court “were almost uniformly denied” the article sets out. “To see Marion nearly seven months after a lynching was to realize the disastrous effect of mob action upon a presumably civilized community,” Pickens says in closing. “It is a question whether the present generation of Marion inhabitants ever can recover from the relapse of that one night, when they dragged two Negro boys from the jail to a tree on the courthouse lawn in the center square of the city; when, after the killing was over, their youths and young men seized the rope, and, like savages, all with their hands on the sacred piece of hemp, danced from the jail to the courthouse lawn, like college students making merry after an athletic victory.” , INSTITUTE TO BE HELD Phyllis Wheatley Y, W.

POKING FUN AT I STALIN ‘BAD,’ WRITER SAYS U. S. Woman and Husband, Asked to Leave Russia, Are Back Home. By United Prtss NEW YORK, April 30.—Eve Garrette Grady, American wTiter, who said she was requested to leave Russia because she included a joke i on Josef Stalin in her Article “See i Russia and Die—Laughing,” returned on the Leviathan today with : her husband, an engineer who was ! employed by the Soviet. Mrs. Grady said that as soon as ' the joke on Stalin reached Russia, she was summoned 1 before the head I of the coal trust and told that the Soviet considered it serious to have Stalin made ridiculous. She was asked to leave the country' at once. Grady decided to accompany his wife. The Soviets were courteous in the entire affair, the Gradys said, and considered that by expelling Mrs. Grady they had broken her husband's contract. He was paid in full and his expenses to New York were paid. Mrs. Grady said that returning ! from Russia was “like coming back from Mars,” but added that the Russian standard of living is lower
