WEEDEN. • Coroner's Jury Clears Policeman Who Killed Fleeing Prisoner A Metropolitan Police private to day was starting a two-week leave, after being cleared of blame by a coroner’s jury in the fatal shooting of a prisoner who, police said, had tried to escape. Pvt. Clinton P. Brown, who was 32 yesterday, was exonerated on his birthday. A six-man Jury ruled the veteran of five years on the force was justified in shooting and kill ing John Jackson, 29, colored labor er, early Sunday. The police officer, who was in charge of No. 2* precinct’s patrol wagon, testified he fired two shots, after Jackson lunged at hind with a knife and then ran after a scuffle. The jury was told by Pvt. Brown, i who lives at 5301 Branch avenue S.E., that Jackson had been picked up at Seventh and M streets N.W. oii a drunk charge. On the way to the station, he testified, the pris oner was "abusive and used pro fanity” directed against the police department. Knives Exhibited. When the patrol wagon pulled into the precinct garage, said the po liceman, Jackson “jumped, out of the wagon” at him. He testified the prisoner reached in his pocket for a knife and then lunged at him. Pvt. Brown said that as he re treated, his badge was scratched by the knife. The badge was ex hibited at the inquest, as were two penknives—one which police said they found near where Jackson fell and the other which they said was <aken from his body at Freedmen's Hospital. The officer said that after firing one shot at Jackson, who was run ning away, he fired a second “into the ground” when Pvt. Chester H. Harmon ran tip and called, "Don’t shoot Brown—you’ve already hit him.” Harmon Had Gun Ready. Pvt. Harmon testified he was In his scout car parked near the pre cinct garage "when I heard the sound of scuffling feet, ran over, and saw Jackson brandishing a knife.” Pvt. Harmon said he had drawn his own gun so he would be ready to protect his fellow-officer. More than 15 witnesses appeared at the inquest, which lasted almost four hours. The jurors took 25 minutes to reach their verdict. Conflicting testimony as to the events immediately preceeding the fatal shooting was offered by sev eral witnesses, who said they were near the scene at the time. Francis M. Freeman, colored, of 1619 Marion street N.W., said he was driving his cab past the sta-, tion. when he saw a man leap from the back of the patrol wagon and; run, stumbling, across an adjacent' parking lot. He said he saw no scuffle. Pvt. William B. Whitlock, colored, driver of the precinct patrol wagon/ said, however, he “heard” a scuffle at the rear of the vehicle. The| shots had been fired by the time< he reached the back, he testified. Saw Prisoner Fall. One of several witnesses to testify they were standing in front of 501 j L street N.W., was George Chapelle, j colored, janitor at 1715 Nineteenth j street N.W., who said he saw Jack- j son running "slowly” across the lot.: The prisoner fell after the second shot was fired, he said. Mr. Chapelle said he saw Pvt. Brown fire at the retreating figure. Criticism of Freedmen's Hospital was expressed by Detective Sergt. Richard J. Felber, who said he did not find the second penknife when he searched Jackson's body. It was found later by an attendant, he said, but he had "great difficulty” in obtaining it. He said he finally had to call the supervisor before it was released to him. Truman (Continued From First Page.I talked privately with the man who succeeded his rather in the White House. It was the second time in two days the President had met California Democrats. A group from the north ern part of the State saw Mr. Tru man in San Francisco Sunday. The California delegation, which will cast 54 votes in Philadelphia, is pledged to Mr. Truman, but only on the first ballot. Some of those who saw the President yesterday were of the opinion he has little strength beyond that first ballot. Reporters asked Mr. Roosevelt what his attitude toward President Truman is but were told only that "I’m a pledged delegate.” The President's visit consequently took on some of the aspects of a fence building affair. Won't Back Down.. His visitors, it was said by Mr. Roosevelt, congratulated President Truman on his speeches in the West. One colored delegate, the Rev. Clayton Russell of Los Angeles, wanted to know if he still is strong for his controversial civil-rights program and was told by the Presi dent that he never had made a pro posal and backed down on it. The presidential special train ar rived in Los Angeles shortly after 10 a m., and Mr. Truman headed a motorcade in an open car, that traveled 5 miles an hour over a 5 mile route to the hotel between two solid lanes of people. Windows and roof tops also held their quotas. The President spoke at a luncheon arranged by the Greater Los Angeles Press Club as a first anniversary celebration, and he enjoyed an ap preciative audience of about 1.500. Speaking from notes, the President assailed the Republicans for failing to do anything about prices, hous ing, social security, health, agricul ture and school aid: for reducing the stature of the Labor Department, and for cutting down on develop- j ment of natural resources. He also announced, in passing, that he had had Just vetoed the social security bill. Heads for Kansas City. As a token of the occasion, the President received a gold life mem-; bership card in the Press Club. Mr. Truman was in Los Angeles for nine hours, and then his train headed homeward, with about a dozen rear platform stops scheduled before he reaches Kansas City to morrow afternoon. The details after Kansas City remain to be worked out, Mr. Truman plans on spending one night there and getting back to Washington Friday. When his train makes .a 30-minute stop in Albuquerque, N. Mex., to night, the President, who will make a talk, will see former Secretary of Agriculture Anderson, who has just won the Democratic senatorial' nomination In New Mexico.

In the Southwest with the plea that the people decide whether he or Congress is "wrong" on domestic is sues. "If I’m wrong,” he said, "y,ou will have a chance to attend to me later on. If I’m not wrong, you ought to attend to somebody else.” The President said at San Bernar dino, Calif., last night that he would “keep pouring it on Congress.” His remark was in response to a question from a crowd estimated by Police Chief D. G. Murdock at 10,000 persons. Somebody presented the President with a supply of fresh eggs. He tied up the gift with his re quest for price control authority, saying "I appreciate those eggs. The cost of living has gone up.” . And he added, "at least they weren't thrown at me.” “Throw'em at Taft,” some one shouted from the crowd. "I wouldn't throw fresh eggs at Senator Taft,” Mr. Truman replied. Congress (Continued From First Page.)_ down on any return to price controls, there appeared to be at least a 50-50 chance that Congress would send a housing bill to the President before it quits. The bill might even contain the controversial provisions for Govern ment-financed" low-rent dwellings, slums clearance subsidies and farm home aids. Chairman Allen of the House Rules Committee called an after noon session of his committee to de cide whether the housing bill should be given a green light for House action. This was in the face of Mr. Tru man’s statement at Los Angeles yesterday that he doubted Mr. Al len’s committee would clear the bill. Mr. Halleck said Congress since 1937 “has been voting against pub lic or socialistic housing.” He in sisted that since Republicans re moved controls over the building in dustry the construction of new homes has more than doubled. As for other points in Mr. Tru man's list, the House on Saturday approved an 18-month extension of farm price supports in lieu of a long-range bill on which the Senate went to work today. The Senate has aproved a bill for $300,000,000 in Federal aid to edu cation but there is little prospect that it will clear the House. Legislation .for a national health program is not docketed for action. Various bills dealing with water re sources are pending and are likely to die. There is no disposition to heed the President's call for steps to restore the Labor Department to its pre-Taft-Hartley Act status.

Strom Thurmond of South Carolina announced today that a caucus of Southern States opposed to the nomination of President Truman will be held in Philadelphia before the Democratic National Convention. Gov. Thurmond said the meeting was decided on by seven Southern Governors at a private session dur ing the National Governor’s Con ference here. He said the caucus would be held a day or two before the Democratic convention and that some Western delegations would be Invited. "We are against Truman,” Gov. Thurmond said. "We feel he is not the right man for President. If he is nominated we don’t think he can be elected. At any rate we are against him.” Gov. Thurmond has been one of the leaders of .the so-called South ern revolt against President Tru man which was touched off by the President’s civil rights program. The Southern Governors who met with Gov. Thurmond discussed several candidates for the nomination, but would not identify them. Won’t Vote for Truman. Gov. Thurmond said South Caro lina will not vote for President Tru man in the election, and neither will it vote for the Republican can didate. The State will vote, instead, he added, for an elector.

Mr. Reece, in. a Nation-wide broadcast over the American Broad casting Co., said the President did not express “personal fondness” for . Prime Minister Stalin because of any “real admiration for the Soviet czar.” ( “It was an obvious play to bring back to Democrat ranks the thou sands of Communists and fellow travelers who have followed Henry Wallace into the third-party move ment,” the Republican chairman said. "Frankly, I think Mr. Wallace might consider suing Mr. Truman for Infringement of copywright. "The deeper significance of this incident, however, is a very alarm ing thing when it is realized that the statement to which I referred was made by the recognized leader of what once was one of our major political parties. "It proves once more, what has been stated so often, that the pres? ent leaders of the Democrat Party are perfectly willing to make alli ances with left-wing radical groups on the latter's own terms as long as the result Is votes for Democrats on election day.” Iceland's shipments of cod-liver oil to America were cut in half in the last year. xwuuu mu/// V!m^ nr r uwdwei tlf t *!,••».
