PAGE TWELVE THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1951 They Never Had It So Soft Men of British Reserve London, May 9 -- (CP) -- Brit- ain's so-called Z-men, reservists called up for 15 days' refresher training, are liking life in the mod- ern army. ' Many regard it as an extra holi- day, for footslogging 1951-style is not what it used to be. Gone is the tough parade-ground technique, bellowed orders and terse commands, The men are greeted by a warm handshake and friend- ly smiles and at some camps are invited to a cup of tea, served by regular-force N.C.Os. Newcomers are assigned to com- fortable quarters, with spring beds, mattresses, sheets, pillow-slips and wool blankets. Everything has been spruced up. There is no guard duty, no fire picket. Potato-bashing and other fatigues will be forgotten -- and there'll be no short haircuts. Af- ter the. welcoming ceremony at an | assembly centre near London, the trainees were taken around the en- campment on a sight-seeing tour. When the boys got back to their | billet, they received another sur- prise, as the Sergeant-Major troop- led in. "We are glad to see you and in- tend to do our best to make all of you happy," he said. Then he re- | marked: "You could do with a bit of fire in this room, lads. I'll see | it gets lit straight away." | The rations also aren't hard to take, Breakfast on the first day consisted of cereal, bacon, egg and tomato, bread, marmalade and tea. Lunch brought out soup, lamb chops, peas, mashed potatoes and rice pudding. The program calls for rigorous training routine but that also has begn streamlined. Only 4% hours 3 devoted to parades and drill during the two weeks, with class- room instruction kept to a mini- mum. The stress is on practical weapon training. Officers say the idea is to put [the men with the unit they will | join if war breaks out, so they may become familiar with their jobs and meet the men who would go into action with them. Ask Ottawa To Provide Human Rights Declaration Ottawa, May 9 --(CP)-- Adoption of a Canadian declaration of hu- man rights was urged today by a delegation under sponsorship of the Association of Civil Liberties. The delegation, in a brief pre- sented to Prime Minister St. Lau- rent and members of the cabinet, said "It is not enough to say that we are fighting for freedom against tyranny. We must provide men with a positive and specific dy- namic faith in our way of life ..." The delegation, professions and the home, urged implementation at this session of parliament of the recommendations | of 'senate committee which sat last year under the chairmanship of Senator Arthur Roebuck (L--On- tario). The Senate committee, after weeks of study, recommended that Canada should have a national bill of rights written into the censtitu- tion. As an interim measure until Canada obtains the right to amend her own constitution in the Domin- ion-Provincial field, the govern- ment should adopt a declaratinn of | human rights modelled on the United Nations' universal declara- tion of human rights. The report was unanimously ap- proved by the enate at the last ses sion of parliament. The delegation's brief said Cana- dians now enjoy a large measure of human rights and fundamental freedoms. But there has been "all too frequent instances of infringe- ment of one or other of these rights representing | church, labor, agriculture, business, | | and freedoms by legislative and | {other means." Additional safe- | guards should be provided in the | | form of a bill of human rights and { liberties. Ontario Obtaining 'Financing In States Toronto, May 9 -- (CP) -- On- | tario is borrowing in the United | | States, departing from a policy of | more than 20 years.

Willie McGee Loses Fight Dies In Chair Laurel, Miss, May 9 -- (AP)-- Willie McGee, who fought a long, losing fight against being put to death for rape. died in the electric chair early yesterday. Political issues colored the final months of the legal battles on be- half of the 37-year-old negro truck driver; convicted of raping a white woman 5'2 years ago. The case attracted world-wide at- tention. Up until the final hour, supporters sought a stay of execution from Governor Fielding Wright, a district judge, an appeal judge, Chief Jus- tice Fred Vinson of the United States, and President Truman. All were denied. All appeals were denied on the case which the State Supreme Court of Mississippi had ruled upon three times, and the United States Su- preme Court had refused to review another three times, Governor Wright had once before declined executive clemency asked by mem- bers of the Civil Rights Congress. Political demonstrations at Jacke son, Miss, and Washington marked the final efforts made last week-end to save McGee. In Washington yes- terday, about 25 persons picketing the White House carried signs say- ing "Old Soldiers Never Die--But Lynch Victims Do" and "You Fired MacArthur--Now Fire Jim Crow." Authorities brought McGee to Laurel last night. Under Mississippi procedure, execution for a capital felony is carried out in the state's portable electric chair in the court= room of the courthouse in the coun- ty where the felony occurred. There was no disorder when Mc= Gee arrived at Laurel, but crowds packed the front of the courthouse. They appeared more curious than anything else. About 1 a.m. the husband, broth- er and two brothers-in-law of Mc= Gee's victim--a Laurel housewife-- took seats four rows from the front to witness the execution. McGee made no statement as he | was led to the chair at 2:05 a.m, He was pronounced dead at 2:10, Want to buy, sell or trade -- A classified ad and the deal is made. at Peroonak!
