UNIFORM COPPER
Establishment at 9Vi Cents
Wipes Out Disparity on
U. S. Markets.
By the Associates Press.
NEW YORK, April 13.—A uniform
price of 9V2 cents a pound was estab
lished for domestic copper today, end
ing the disparity In quotations that
has existed since February 15. when
an advance from 9'4 cents to9'/2 cents
by two leading producers was not fol
lowed by others.
Establishment of the higher price
on an all-around basis, widely pre
dicted in trade circles late last week,
found no Immediate reaction in the
market for foreign copper, due to the
holidays abroad, but the price of this
class of metal has been creeping
steadily upward recently and a new
high of 9.213 cents was established
last Saturday when a few sales were
reported on that basis.
Sales at High Levels.
Sales of copper in the domestic
market are currently running at the
best levels since February, according
to trade reports. While the amount
purchased late last week will not be
determined for several days, excep
tionally large sales were known to
have been made Immediately follow
ing reports that the producers and
smelters who had been holding at 9*4
cents for two months would advance
quotations early this week.
The anomalous situation in the -
price structure had its beginning on j
February 15, when Phelps Dodge Corp.
announced its selling figure would be
advanced to 9'2 cents on that date.
Others Make No Change.
Anaconda Copper Mining Co. quickly
followed with a similar quotation, but
Kennecott Copper Co., American
Smelting & Refining Co and Ameri
can Metal Co. made no change in
their price and continued to sell metal
at 9*4 cents.
The greatly Improved statistical
position of the industry in recent
months, during which stodcs of copper
in the hands of producers have been
gradually reduced to a level closely ap
proximating nprmal, was believed in
trade circles to have been a dominant
factor in ending the schism in the
market.

Dreamy Village Is Tired of
Fighting Illusion of
Lawlessness.
A word picture of Scottsboro.
Ala., and of what townsfolk think
of the celebrated case that has kept
the town in the Nation's head
lines, is sketched here by a New
York newspaper columnist, who is
seeing places and people in a trip
across America.
_
BY WARD MOREHOUSE.
SCOTTSBORO. Ala.. April 13 iN.A.
N A.) —Perhaps you know the picture.
Red brick court house in the center ot
a square fringed w;th stores. Creaky
mule-drawn carts and farm wagons,
rusty Fords and townfolk swarming
about the storefronts. On this corner
( a bank, on that the post office. One
' sign says ‘ Drugs." Another says
"Hotel" There's generally a big clock
in the court house cupola. There you
i have the composit Southern county
seat of 3.000 to 3.500 population. And
there, if you take away the clock, add
a feed store and toss in the Cinderella
Beauty Shop, you have Scottsboro. Ala.
Five years ago a freight train pulled
up alongside a w ater tank just outside
of town. It would have been better
for Scottsboros peace of mind had
1 that train kept on going. Nine colored
men were hauled off. locked up.
i charged with rape, and tried. Eight
were sentenced to death. Scottsboro
sprang into the headlines of a Nation.
The case provoked angry editorial
protest, it inflamed defenders of justice
to Negroes. And even now. five years
afterward. Scottsboro has been unable
to live down an international impres
sion. that in Northern Alabama, Jack
I son County, there is a town where
1 outlawery reigns, wrhere the black man
l is ever terrorized bv the whites.
Talks to Newspaper Editor.
What's Scottsboro really like? Are
the colored people in constant fear oi
their lives? Does the Ku Klux Klait
hold nightly parades in Court House
Square? Were those nine men framed
by false testimony, tried before a
i prejudiced justice and convicted by a
vengeful jury? And where could you
get a better answer to such questions
than in the office of a local weekly?
P. W. Campbell is editor of the
| Jackson County Sentinel, published
! every Thursday. His latest issue was
: out and he was pleased with it. He
! had plenty of time. The Scottsborc
case? He began laughing.
"I'm laughing." he said, "because
' everybody else in this town is laughing
i We just got tired of being mad. We
; didn't like all the publicity and il
made us good ar.d hot and we looked
with suspicion upon every New Yorl
license tag. and maybe we still do
And we don't like Mr. Leibowitz. Bm
we had to get over being mad. Wt
know- we can't make people in thi
East believe us. We realize that thi
country still thinks lynchings it
Scottsboro are weekly occurrences. Bu
what can we do about it?"
Principals All Transients.
He shook his head and went on
"Why. this town is just about thi
most peaceful place you ever saw
I Those colored men didn't belong here
They were passing through. So wen
the two white girls. The girls lived li
; the adjoining county of Madison. Am
! if that freight train had .iust gone twi
j miles further, the world would havi
put the blame for the whole thing upoi
Huntsville and Madison County In
stead of Scottsboro and Jackson. I'n
telling you facts. I was all through 1
and I know."
After 12 hours in Scottsboro, In
compelled to report that It falls shor
of its billing. It's lazy. It's quiet. Am
dull. Perhaps when Circuit Cour
I convenes there’ll be some excitement
Righ now you must provide your owr
With some reservations. I reepmmem
the Bocanita movie theater and th
Arcade pool and billiard pariol. Ii
Scottsboro, as in many Souther]
counterparts, life is motionless.
There’s a population of 3,500. Prob
ably 850 of this total is colored. Fiv
, white churches, two hotels, severa
! boarding houses, two banks, a T. V. t.
. ! office, two country weeklies. 45 store;
i It's an agricultural town in the valle
. of the Tennessee River. Three mills
• rug. hosiery, underwear—are locate;
> here. Chattanooga is some 50 mile
• distant. There is. apparently, no fric
i tion Whatever between races. Th
: townsmen tell you there never ha
: been. They say they can recall bu
; one lynching in the county, and tha
took place 35 years ago. They asser
that newspaper men. propagand;
spreaders and “reds”—that’s the terr
s generally used—have given their quie
j little town its terrible name.
'J Village Scene.
. Let’s wander about the square an
'! see what there is to see:
p \ The post office. No small-town pic
j j ture could be complete without i
- The individual combination mail boxe
i j (rental 60 cents a quarter), and abov
s: the boxes the heavy wire nettinf
s! reaching to the ceiling. Special de
5 livery window, litter on the floor, Gov
5 ernment bond posters, “Don't spit o
j | floor” placards. People ambling ii
- peering into the glass boxes, amblin
? out.
“ The Bocanita movie house. .
shrunken little old lady sells ticket
Top price, 20 cents. Colored people t

i day for the thrilling westerns. Farm
ers in town, and they like gun play
he-men, tough talk, fast riding.
The business life: Scottsboro Ice

Sc Reid—cigars, cigarettes and candies
. Scottsboro Hotel—bath and
shower . . . and you’ve made the cir
cuit of Court House Square.
There were no colored men on the
jury that tried the nine defendants
five years ago, because, a townsman
explained, none was in the jury bos
at the time. Colored people, he said
are*now’ serving, and make good
jurors—’’Well.” he said, “they’re sure
no worse than some of the farmers.’
Judge A. E. Hawkins, who sentenced
the eight defendants to death in th<
original trial, lives at Fort Paine, and
still presides twice yearly at Scotts
boro’s Circuit Court terms,
i Sheriff M. L. Wann, who made
America’s front pages along with the
town, was killed by a white man twc
years ago—election night. His wife
is now tax collector. H. G. Bailey
who conducted the original prosecu
tion. continues as soclicitor of the
ninth judicial district. When Scotts
ooro was in the daily headlines iti
mayor was J. D. Snodgrass. He died
after holding office 42 years. His
son. P B. Snodgrass, is postmaster.
A farmer. M C. Thomas, is now
sheriff. He frets because of the non
excitement. “I’m getting lazy,” he
said. “Nothing ever happens in Jack
son County any more. Guess I’ll gc
by the Arcade and shoot a little pool.'

Man and Young Bride, Lost
for Week After Plane
Crashed in Alaska.
By the Associated Press.
KETCHIKAN. Alaska, April 13—
Two aerial honeymooners. who sur
vived an airplane wreck and a week
of cold weather without food or fire
were safe here today after searchers
had almost abandoned hope of finding
them alive.
Suffering from hunger and expo
sure, but otherwise unhurt. Albert Al
moslino of Seattle and his 18-year-old
bride of a month, were found yester
day at Princess Bay. 40 miles south of
here.
They were picked up and brought
here by the Coast Guard cutter Cyane
after the wreckage of their pontoon
equipped monoplane was located by
| Pilot Sheldcn Simmons or Juneau and
I two observers.
Emergency Rations Lost.
Both were sent to a hospital, but
j they were in good spirits and expected
“to be as good as ever” in a few days.
The two went six days without food
and slept in soggy clothing after the
plane was wTecked last Monday in at
tempting to land on the choppy wa
ters of the bay They swam ashore,
but emergency rations and a rifle were
lost.
Same protection from sleet and
rainstorms which swept the bay area
was afforded- by a shelter Almoslino
had built of fabric ripped from the
plane.
When found, both were almost shoe
less Their clothes were tattered from
walking through dense underbrush.
Saw Rescuers Twice.
Yesterday Almoslino said he saw
Simmons’ plane fly overhead twice.
He said he believed his attempts to at
tract the pilot's attention had failed.
A few hours after the second ap
pearance of the searching plane, the
cutter Cyane nosed into the bay to
take them aboard and take the
wrecked plane in tow.
Amoslino and his bride, the former
Joan Macdonald of Minneapolis,
Minn., and Omeha. Nebr . left Seattle
April 4.
Unreported four days later, Coast
Guard vessels started a search for
them.

By tne- Associated Press.
NORFOLK. Va.. April 13—The
purchase by the Seaboard Air Line
