Mississippi Judge Denounces Kidnaping of Prisoner
A Circuit Court judge condemned the kidnapping of Mack Charles Parker, a Negro prisoner accused of rape, saying the act opened the flood gates of hate in Mississippi. Parker was abducted from the Pearl River County jail as FBI and highway patrol teams hunted the suspects across Mississippi and eastern Louisiana. The trial was postponed after the abduction and Parker remained absent as defense and prosecution clashed over in absentia consideration.

Kennedy predicts Eisenhower would sign labor bill
Senator John F Kennedy said Eisenhower would likely sign the Senate passed labor regulation bill in its current form. The measure, 90 to 1 in the Senate, omits several administration demanded provisions but Kennedy believes it will curb union abuses and be acceptable to the President. House hearings continue with expectations to act later, while a toned down substitute was adopted earlier.

Urey report at the National Academy of Sciences that the Moon’s interior contains more iron and nickel near the poles with a surface bulge about 40 to 60 miles high. They contrast this with earlier theories of a uniform, melted body formed from tiny particles.
