Welch Boy Gets 10 to 15 Years For Manslaughter
Griffith Welch, 15, was sentenced by Judge A M Stack to 10 to 15 years in state prison for manslaughter in the death of Bobby Sechrest. The sentence was suspended on condition he enter the Eastern Carolina Training School at Kinston and behave, with transfer if he escapes or causes trouble. The judge rejected a second degree murder plea, stating no malice was shown, and criticized the Sechrest father for aiding the boy with money to buy cigarettes after the tragedy.

Federal Pie Eaters Must Qualify For All Positions
Washington June 22 Deserving Democrats line up at the federal pie counter with as many as 25 000 to 30 000 jobs to be filled after Roosevelt's vacation. Merit, not political support, will decide appointments as new agencies and emergency acts create posts from collectors to district attorneys and internal revenue men. Ickes says best qualified will get state administrator spots for public works and Tennessee Valley Authority roles despite politics. Political ties matter little to one senator who insists qualifications decide Muscle Shoals postings.
