HIGH COURTS
REFUSE CASE
WILUE McGEE
WASHINGTON, March 27 —UFl—
Willie McGee, Mississippi Negro
thrice sentenced to death for the
rape of a white woman, failed for
the fourth time to win a full
scaie hearing before the Supreme
Court.
The action means McGee must |
go to the electric , chair unless his
lawyers can find another delaying
device.
Charge Itcd Aid
McGee's case has attracted world
wide attention. Gov. Fielding Wright
of Mississippi has charged that
Communist were leading the fight
to save the Negio from execution.
The latest appeal to the High
Court Clliitned' McGee never had
been permitted to tell the whole
story, including his contention that
he had 'had “voluntary” sex rela
tions with the woman he was con
victed of raping.
Mississippi’s Attorney General, J.
P. Coleman, responded that both
state and lower federal courts had
gone into that and other angles
ap<j were . corniced ,of McGee's
guilt.
, Other Af iionS
In other actions the High Court:
1. Ruled that suits to coJUect lent
overcharges in decontrolled areas
are nqf, limitetj, . to ,uny. specific
period1 'before rent control^ were
lifted.
The' high tribunal overturned a
lower a^irt'.fu ncflfln -Iti 'throwing
out a WMB'T'effrfttl to a Dallas
tenant ' for ‘ vivertihaf&es covering 1 a
period of 20 months. The refund
suit was begun six days after the
Dallas area was decontrolled. The
lower court said the refund period
must be restricted to one year.
2. Refused film writer Lester
Cole—one of the “Hollywood Ten"
—a hearing in his legal battle to
win reinstatement to his $l,350-a
v/cek movie job.

Security Act.
ADMiWTN. BOARD
APPROVES PLANS.
TERR. BUILDING
Approval was given by the Ter
ritorial Board of Administration
this week of the plans for specifi
cations to come within the $1,200,000
allowed for the construction of
Alaska’s new Territorial office!
building in Juneau. The plans were
negotiated by the Alaska Public
Works and the Carson Construc
tion Company of Helena, Montana,
contractors awarded the job. The
contractor’s estimates for construc
tion of the building according to the
original plans was $1,330,000.
Alaska will have a five-story Ter
ritorial office building but it won’t
be completed, according to original
plans. In fact it won’t be completed.
A five-story structure will be erect
ed but only three stories will be fin
ished for occupancy according to
the revised plans approved by the;
Board of Administration.
The building will have two ele-;
vator shafts and penthouse but no
elevators. Vaults will have steel
doors but they will not be of the
heavy dial type. There will- be no
terazza floors except in the en
trance hallway — all other floors
will be mino plastic. Steps in the
building^ which were to have been
of granite will be of concrete, There
will be no outside granite trim for
.Windows nor granite trim in other
parts of the building as was pro
vided in the original plans.. There
will be no rails around the grounds
optsicie the building as was first
planned. There will be no lawn on
the surrounding grounds, except of
the wild grass variety.
Preliminary work of construction
is scheduled to start in May of this
year and the building is to be com
pleted by July 1, 1952.
A House bill, introduced by Waino
Hendrickson in the Alaska Legis
lature just ended, to appropriate
$165,300 to complete the Territorial
office building as originally planned
was killed by the indefinite post
ponement route. • j( \
