Lynchers Waive

GREENVILLE, S.C.~(ANP)~
While speculation is rife ~over
when Solicitor Robert T. Ashmore will call to trial the 31 men
charged with the lynching of 23 -yvear-ola Willie Earle on-Feb. 17,

the men themselves formally
waived arraignment here Monday.

Last Wednesday the Greenville
county. grand. jury returned indictments against the men on
charges af murder, conspiracy to
murder and being accessories before and after the faet of murder. The grand jury returned
individual. indictments whereas. a
week earlier a coroner~s jury had
failed to identify the suspects as
the.~~mob~ it ruled murdered
Farle,

Ashmore~ has refused
to predict when the men will be.
tried but court attaches speculate
that a special term of general

tien in employment ~definitely
hes resulted in progress in the
elimination~ of such practices,
the State. Commission Against
Discrimination has reported,

The commission, summarizing
its. 1946 activities in a report to
Gov. Dewey and the Legislaure, noted increasing compliance and~ expressed hope that
~tthe democratic ideal wil be
completely realized in = not
~oo distant future.~

The commission said that
~misgivings which were present
at the law~s inception are subsiding.~

The law, enacted in 1945, prohibi's consideration of race,
creed, color or national origin
by employers unless there is a
bona fige occupational requirement. - F

The commission reported that
during 1946 there were filed
536 complaints. The group. initiated 174 investigations. A to~al
of 18) cases were adjusted by
conciliation and conference and
another 109 showed no discrimination, against the complainant
but revealed over-all discriminatory employment policies that

were revised after conference.
