The Willie McGee
Some * *
OmeQuesttons Raised

A RECENT FLOCK of letters to the editor
decrying the injustices in the trial of
Willie McGee, followed by the formation of
a local campus committee promising to save
the Mississippi Negro, have prompted us to
do some checking into the case.
The committee and the letter writers have
been ;indignant at what they call the case
of an innocent man condemned to die, and
have requested that this community act now
to prevent his execution. The average-and
most sensible-reaction to this has been a
desire for more information, resulting from
a belief that if the facts show that an in-
justice ha sbeen committed, decent citizens
should rise in protest.
zl Without additional facts, however, the
citizen is left wondering, and a bit suspi-
cious, The only ready information sources
sources on the case have been the Daily
Worker and publicity releases of the Civil
Rights Congress. Neither are reliable
sources.
However, with the help of The Daily's and
the library's file of newspapers and. maga-
zines, and the excellent assistance of several
law students, notably Robert Portor, '52L,
and a phone call to the Detroit National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, we ferreted out all the information
we could. Most of this was printed in a story
byBob Keith which appeared in yesterday's
Daily. But although the issues involved in
this case have been made somewhat clearer,
the facts-as some other editorials on this
page mention-are still insufficient for a
finally satisfactory answer.
Briefly, the questions raised by the case
are:
1. Is Willie McGee guilty? The committee
to save him says he is innocent, the courts
,have declared him guilty, and the NAACP
says there is a "reasonable doubt" as to his

SNEAKING UNDER a closed gallery gate
at Alumni Memorial Hall we came upon
what will become an exhibit of the mu-
seum's recent accessions. The room is scat-
tered with pictures signed by well-known
moderns, and we especially liked the two
works by Ben Shahm and a drawing by Max
Beckmann. Prints by Roualt, Riviera and
Renoir add color to the collection, as does a
very attractive abstraction by Osvura. The
gate will open Wednesday.
NOW AND THEN the Whitney Theatre
comes up with some unusual fare. Oc-
casionally disguised under names re-adjust-
ed to the pulse of the times and often
billed as desperately violent so as not to
appear out of place among the East Side
Kids, Roy Rogers, and Chapter 13 of The
Lost Volcano, old pictures will appear which
take us back to our earliest film-going days.
For instance, there was a Martin Johnson
film which we saw not long ago. Remem-
bering the thrill of those slightly feverish
afternoons with the World's Greatest Ex-
plorers, we wondered if now they would
seem so great or their itinerary so exotic.
They didn't, but much of the photography
was fine, and if we were somewhat disap-
pointed there was an honest air about the
whole thing which was missing from the
technicolor improvements of King Solomon's
Mines.,
The long-awaited opportunity to dis-
cover whether Jean Harlow actually was a

true femme fatale or just a press agent's
dream came recently in The Platinum
Blonde. She was a little of both. More
interesting than Harlow, however was
the glow of the Frank Capra fire which
broke into real flame a few years later in-
It Happened One Night.
But if there have been some pictures
which paled with a second view over the
years, there has been one, at least, which
remainshfresh,smasterful, and perpetually
delightful. That is the Bret Harte-like le-
gend of the old west, Destry Rides Again.
Its excellent cast features Jimmy Stewart
and Marlene Deitrich, whose incomparable
rendition of "Little Joe" and "See What
The Boys In The Back Room Will Have"
draws us back again and again.
IT SEEMS HARD to believe that so much
first-rate music will be heard here in
three days. This afternoon, Robert'Noehren
presents organ works by Bach, and Bach's
musical god-father, Buxtehude. Tonight,
two of the greatest compositions for two
pianos, Hindemith's Sonata, and Bartok's
"Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion,"
will be performed by Ava Comin Case and
Mary Fishburne. Tuesday evening, the
Stanle vOuartet nlav the first of twr nrno-

guilt. From the information available, the
best answer seems to be the uncertain one
of doubt. There is a legitimate question as
to whether McGee really did commit the
crime of which he is accused or whether
the explosive situation of a southern Negro
involved in a rape case has resulted in an
unwarranted conviction.
2. Is execution warranted? Assuming that
McGee is guilty, there is considerable justi-
fication for thinking that a death penalty
is overly harsh punishment. Since many
Negroes in the past have been executed in
Mississippi for rape, but never a white man,
there are reasonable grounds to assume that
McGee's ° race might have played a part in
his sentencing. Moreover, the death penalty
in general serves no constructive purpose,
as some letter writers have been at great
pains to prove recently.
3. Will the local committee save McGee?
Obviously not. Militant action here will,
despite arguments of committee members,
have little effect on the fate of a man in
Mississippi. The committee seems to be off-
base in its initial assumption that McGee
is, in fact, innocent and in its plan for a
rally featuring Mrs. McGee. It has, however,
served a purpose in focusing attention on a
case which seems to need some clarification.
4. What should be done? The best answer
to this question thus far comes from NAACP.
They have written to Mississippi s governor,'
Fielding L. Wright, requesting clemency for
McGee. It might help if the people in Ann
Arbor interested in seeing justice operative
in this case do the same.

Case
**
'Monster Rally'
ONE OF THE most regrettable features of
the recent drive to save Willie McGee
is the ad hoc committee's decision to bring
Mrs. McGee to campus to speak as part of
what has been aptly named a "monster
rally."
The various civil right's groups now are
vehemently defending Willie on the grounds
that his trial was conducted in an atmos-
phere of emotional tension, that traditional
prejudices were instruments in convicting
the Mississippi Negro. And yet they are bas-
ing their appeal to save him on the same
kind of mob emotion, even if directed in an
opposite direction.
Obviously, Mrs. McGee's talk will be only
designed to arouse pity. What she has to say
could easily be said in more coherent, lo-
gical form by someone else, but her tragic
story told in person makes a far more pow-
erful play upon the emotions.
But far more important and deplorable
is the exploitation of the individual in-
volved in making this protest against so-
cial injustice in the South. In this speak-
ing tour, Mrs. McGee becomes merely Ex-
hibit A in the case against the existing or-
der made by the various Civil Righters,
many very sincere in their efforts to im-
prove conditions, others using the situa-
tion to serve their own ends.
It is grossly unfair to Mrs. McGee to be
displayed this way, made to play the fool.
No matter how just the case for Willie Mc-
Gee (and his this is highly questionable), the
shameless use of the individual as a decoy,
an emotional lure, is inexcusable.

Student Draft . . .
To the Editor:
(ONGRATULATIONS to Messrs.
Stegner and Pike for their un-
selfish and patriotic stand on the
drafting of college men. Our
armed forces are looking for just
such stalwart young Americans.
Messrs. Stegner and Pike are ad-
mittedly much more valuable to
our country in the infantry than
in law school.

McGee Case . .
To the Editor:
H AVE YOU seen the front page
of the Communist D a i I y
Worker lately? It has started a
crusade to save Willie McGee and
has incorporated the whole case
into their slanted party line which
is trying to breed distrust into our
democracy. Several students and
student organizations have now
let themselves become emotionally
involved with the incident and
have started a campaign to win
Willie back . his freedom. I be-
lieve that these students, in try-
ing to be liberal, have let them-
selves be duped into tools for the
Russian Communists.
Let's face it! Do you think for
one minute that the Communists
want Willie McGee to be pardoned
and saved? They don't! It would
be twice as advantageous to their
propaganda machine if Willie
dies. Then they can use him for
a martyr. This whole affair has
become now more than just a rape
case-now it's a national question.
McGee was tried and found guilty
by a jury of his peers in a United

. IN RETROSPECT .

.tettei' TO THE EDITOR
The Daily welcomes communications from its readers on matters of
general interest, and will publish all letters which are signed by the writer
and in good taste. Letters exceeding 300 words in length, defamatory or
libelous letters, and letters which for any reason are not in good taste will
be condensed, edited or withheld from publication at the discretion of the

States Court. He has appealed
the case several times. Would
anyone receive so much considera-
tion under the Moscow Judicial
system.
I hope all people will have the
common sense to look into this
matter a little deeper before they
condemn our judges and juries.
If the names of the persons who
are leaders of the crusade both in
New York and on campus were
revealed, one should not be sur-
prised to find it would include
most of the agitators, rabbel- b
rousers, and plain Communists
who are trying to destroy our
precious heritage of freedom.
This is no "red herring" accusa-
tion but merely an appeal to the
readers of The Michigan Daily to
do a little thinking for themselves.
Men have died and are dying to
protect our form of government.
We cannot afford to be used as
tools by the Communists whether
in Russia or on campus. So just
think before you readily agree
that Willie McGee is completely
innocent. And hold tight to Am-
erican democracy-it's well worth
it.
--Mark Sandground '52
Success
To strive is to suceed; for true
success lies not in the fruition of
every cherished ambition but
rather is embodied in the earnest
effort expended in that direction.
True success is the ceaseless search
for one's El Dorado rather than its
actual discovery, the never-ending
push upwards to one's chosen star.
Thomas J. Holmes.

never stand for it!"

Democracy and the Law

IT IS A sad commentary to realize that if
it were"not for the diligence of Commun-
ists and their fellow travelers in exploiting
his case, Willie McGee would probably have
been legally lynched five years ago.
That the Civil Rights Congress has been
able to stay McGee's execution as long as
they have by legal weapons, is a tribute
to their attorneys. Their purpose in hand-
ling the case has been to demonstrate
to the world that America is not the demo-
cratic, casteless nation it claims to be.
Their appeal is for a change from the pre-
sent system to one that would not permit
double standards on the basis of color. In
view of the sentences imposed on Negroes
in this and similar cases their denunciations
of our system are gaining validity.
My appeal is for a change of attitude
among those who have helped to make a
farce out of our basically democratic system
when the element of race comes upon the
scene. The white supremacist must be made
to see that his attitude which is dominated
by illusions that the white race must be
kept on the highest level in all aspects of
life is not only vicious, but completely un-
realistic. Federal action aiming at this end
by means of educational projects is as neces-
sary right now as anything that is being or
will be undertaken by government.
However, in the present situation when a
man is going to be executed within 10 days
because of these attitudes federal authori-
ties should be called upon to act, whether
or not they legally have the power, to guar-
antee equality before the law.
There is no sense in preserving a theor-
etically democratic legal system if in prac-
tice it can be used to render the most un-
democratic of decisions irreversible. The
sentencing of McGee to death, although no
white man has ever received such a pen-
alty for the same crime certainly falls with-
in this category.
For the sake of the preservation of
democratic principles, which after all are
more sacred than any legal system as
such, federal officials should be called
upon to intervene in the McGee case, if
Mississippi officials refuse to do so.
Legal system or no legal system federal
Latecomners
L ATE COMERS should come later or not
at all. Anyone who arrived before the
8 p.m. curtain time to see the excellent pro-
duction of "The Magic Flute" at the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theater this weekend will un-
qualifiedly attest to this truism.
As the overture to Mozart the opera be-
gan, no more than half the seats in the
auditorium were filled. For .those in the
audience who enjoy overtures and think
them an integral part to a work, the filling
of the empty seats during the next ten min-
utes was agony. A scuffle by cough descrip-
tion is unnecessary, sufficeth to say that,
by the time this little ritual of Ann Arbor
theater-going was completed, no one seated
past the first two rows had the vaguest idea
of how the overture had sounded.
As one who likes to arrive at the theater
on time and is regularly jostled and whis-
pered out of the first ten minutes of the
evening's production; as one who seldom
has the capital to finance a front row ticket,
let me enter a plea on behalf of the "Paup-
ers-Who-Enjoy-Overtures Society of Ann

officials should at least attempt to get the
case tried by a jury and a judge who are
free of probable intimidation or white su-
premist attitudes. The case should be taken
out of the South and have a retrial in an
area and by people where belief in the equa-
lity of all is not in question. Federal offi-
cials should at least voice there disfavor
with what has happened in Mississippi to
show that they despise such flagrantly un-
democratic action.
IT IS THE JOB of the people in a demo-
cracy to constantly be on the alert and
to call attention to undemocratic practices
that pass in our society. There should be no
opportunity for rejoicing among groups
whose primary aim is to put our undemo-
cratic acts before the world and point ou
'America as an imperialistic, racist nation.
When an act is committed that is obvi-
ously contrary to the doctrines that are
supposed to govern this nation, it re-
mains for the believers in democracy not
to slacken their protests until justice is
done.
If the correction of such an injustice has
to be done at the expense of the legal sys-
tem, it must be remembered that law is
man's creation to serve man and not a bar-
rier that allows Willie McGee to be legally
lynched.
-Paul Marx
Lack of Proof
THE AD HOC Committee to Save Willie
McGee has launched its drive to aid the
Laurel, Mississippi Negro, who is at present
awaiting execution on March 20 for the
alleged rape of a white woman.
A basic premise of this inchoate com-
mittee is that Willie McGee is innocent
of the crime. This premise we cannot
accept. On the basis of the available facts,
we cannot understand how anyone could
infer that Willie McGee is either inocent
-or guilty.
No one has sufficient proof of McGee's
innocence. And certainly no one has suffi-
cient evidence of his guilt. We sincerely
believethat all evidence so far obtained is
inconclusive.
On this basis, it seems that the Committee
is emphasizing what hardly needs em-
phasis.
On the other hand, in the information that
was received on the trials - trials loaded
with KKK passion, unbending bias, blud-
geoned officials, jittery juries-a discrep-
ancy in criminal procedure was evident.
Certainly, a preponderance of whites on
the grand jury and on the separate trial
juries contributed to the final decisions.
The mystery, the ambiguity, and the insuf-
ficiency of facts in the case are in them-
selves bases for a new trial.
Willie McGee deserves a new trial. Yet
the question as to whether he is guilty or
innocent is not nearly as important as the
right of every citizen to a due process of law.
And even if, after a new trial, Willie
McGee is convicted, it remains extremely
unjust that he receive the death penalty.j
No white man has ever been sent to death
for this crime, but since the turn of the
century, 51 Negroes have been executed.
This is clearly a violation of democratic
procedure.
These two simple but rational pointsj

Around the World . .
KOREA-The long dormant western Korean front erupted thisI
week into a major United Nations offensive. At 6:15 a.m. Wednesdayt
the U.S. 25th division moved across the Han River east of Red-heldr
Seoul and fanned out over the sandy flatlands. By week's end the1
allies were pressing within 15 miles of the ancient Korean capital. So
far the new drive has netted more than 25,000 enemy casualties. The
going was rougher in the snow-flecked hills at the eastern end of the
front, where North Korean Reds have been unloosing fierce attacks
si.pce midweek.
CABINET CONFUSION-Eleven days ago, for the sixteenth time
since the liberation, a French cabinet fell. Immediately, ministerial
candidates jumped into the breach, in an effort to establish a new
one. Former Premiers Georges Bidault and Henri Queuille both tried
once and failed. This week, after Guy Mollet had also failed to show
that all is not confusion in France, Queuille tried again. This time,
the former country doctor made it, by 48 votes. He is a Radical So-'
cialist, which is more or less conservative. ,
BEVIN-Despite piles, heart disease, asthma and a recent bout
with pneumonia, Britain's Ernest Bevin had managed for five years
to hold on to his post as director of foreign affairs. This Friday, on
his 80th birthday, the ailing Foreign Secretary finally resigned. He
was replaced by Commons floor leader Herbert Morrison. It was the
most important switch in the British Cabinet since the Labor Gov-
ernment took office in 1945.

National..
DRAFT-The eighteen-year-old draft bill began the week in the
Senate in a hopeful fashion, and ended in a somewhat overwhelming
ac'ceptance. On Monday, the Senators refused to okay the Morse
Amendment, calling for a draft of 18 and one-half year-olds. They
did, however, tack three months on the length of service regulation,
making it two years even. Next came debate on the size of the armed
forces. Sen. Morse had asked for a 3,500,000 man limit; Secretary of
Defense Marshall protested; the Senate passed on the figure 4,000,000
as a compromise. On Friday, the big bill went tirough. It provided
for Universal Military Training to fill in after the present crisis, for
draft of eighteen year olds as soon as needed, for the four million man
limit, and for the extension of service period. The whole works now
goes to the House.
TROOPS FOR EUROPE-The issue of whether we are to send
troops to Europe, and if so, who has the right to do it, went through
another week of debate and resolutions. Aside from complicating
things, little was achieved. Two major Senate committees-the For-
eign Relations and Armed Services Committees-sitting jointly, ap-
proved part of an Administration resolution asking that troops be sent
to Europe after Senate sanction alone. The first provision, that troops
be sent, was okayed. But the second, that Senate sanction would be
sufficient, was downed by a 16 to eight vote, after a coalition of
Southern Democrats and Republicans seized control of the meeting.
The new coalition resolution asked joint Senate-House sanction, snarl-
ing the actual sending of troops considerably.
LABOR COMES BACK-Labor hesitantly moved toward a re-
conciliation with mobilization this week, as Economic Stabilizer Eric
Johnston chipped away at wage controls. On Friday, Johnston met
with three members of the United Labor Policy committee, which re-
cently withdrew from all mobilization agencies in protest to wage
and price controls. They were reported to be considering the for-
mation of a new Wage Stabilization Board, after exchanging heated
and generally fruitless words on the subject earlier in the week. Also
earlier in the week, Johnston announced another relaxation in wage
controls. This time, about a quarter of a million unorganized workers
were expectd to benefit.

Local ...
SAC AND DISCRIMINATION-The Student Affairs Committee
met in an atmosphere of tension and heated feelings Tuesday after-
noon. Before it was a plan to rid campus fraternities of all constitu-
tional clauses that compel discrimination in the selection of new
members. The plan, drawn up by the Student Legislature, gives fra-
ternities six years to eliminate the clauses or face expulsion from
campus. After several hours of debate, the SAC accepted the pro-
posal by a close seven to six vote. Unless vetoed by President Ruth-
ven-an action now being sought by the Inter-Fraternity Council-
the plan will soon become official University policy.
ATHLETIC POOL-Director of Athletics H. O. Crisler this week
revealed plans for construction of a new $2,500,000 women's building
at the corner of Forest and North University. The edifice will be
built gradually, with a much needed women's swimming pool sched-
uled to be constructed first.
