She had been detailed to work at the institution while serving a five to 18 year prison sentence for the murder of her husband.

Judge McCreery sentenced the woman, to additional year in the prison when her previous sentence is complete. He told her she should "appreciate the efforts of Mrs. Sims in requesting that the court should not impose the maximum sentence." Locke had been appointed as attorney for Mrs. McCroden by the court.

There is no comparison in position between an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme "Court and the position of Vice-President of the United States. "In the first place, one position is appointive and the other is elective. Justice Black is a great jurist but he is associated in position with other equally eminent and learned in the legal profession.

And when he writes an opinion it must be in accord with the majority opinion of his assopiates as to their conception of the law and as it applies to any particular case. It becomes guide and precedent in deciding future "And in the second place, the Supreme Court by the President with confirmation and approval of "the Senate to serve-during good behavior, while the Vice-President is an elective position to be held for, a definite term. His position is. a presiding.officer over the Senate of the United States, suqh he exercises 'a tremendous influence over that body in its deliberations and He is at liberty to use his influence in a private and personal manner to affect the course of proposed legislation and to prevent the passage of legislative proposals on civil rights. as well as other issues which might come up for action by the Senate of the United States." 'Split' Ticket Want to vote "split" ticket? No one lias to vote straight ticket, no matter whether he is a registered Democrat or Republican.

To split your ticket, just place an in the small box beside the candidate you wish to vote for. In voting, for the persi- dent, place an before the name of each of presidential electors pledged to the man you favor. ry L. McCreery senteced him to six months on each charge, with' sentensc to run concurrently. When Ball was given credit for the six months he'd already ipent in jail awaking conviction, he walked out--a free man.
