Court Sets Aside Conviction Oi Pair Doomed As Rapists Washington, April 10(AP) The Supreme Court today unanimously struck down the conviction of two Florida Negroes sentenced to die for the rape of a white girl. Two justices protested that the case stirred deep racial feelings in the area and that this was "exploited to the limit by the press." Justice Jackson wrote that the court majority had reversed the convictions only because Negroes were discriminated against in the selection of a trial jury.

But with Justice Frankfurter concurring, Jackson said the reversal on that point alone was to "stress the trivial and ignore the important." He wrote: "If freedoms of the press are so abused as to make fair trial in the locality impossible, the judicial process must be protected by removing the trial to a forum beyond its probable iriluence." Jackson interpolated in his written opinion this comment from the bench: "It is becoming a question whether under modern methods of publicity a fair trial can be granted any man." The court's action means that Samuel Shepard and Walter Irvin will have to be tried again in a different court for the rape on July 16, 1949, of Norma Padgette, then 17. The girl was attacked near Gro-veland, Fla. Schlegel To Preside In WOW Head (amp R. G.

I pew Philadelphia hormone for I growing hair this week embarked ion its first wide-scale testing pro gram. About 800 doctors have written the Philadelphia company requesting samples.

Replies are now going out, offering the hormone for investigation and research only. The hormone was announced Feb. 22 by Albert Roberts, president of the United Research Laboratories. He said it is a pituitary gland hormone, in the form of a cream, which he found while extracting the acth pituitary hormone which has no effects on hair, but which in its own way is one of the recent medical sensations. Roberts said then that his company was not selling the hormone and would not offer it to the public until independent scientific investigation showed its value.

Today he repeated that this hormone is not on sale, but that he has had about 10,000 inquiries. He said the doctors are offered an agreement if they want to test the hair hormone. They agree to pay the cost of the hormone, and then to make available to the Philadelphia company, all their results. Mr. Roberts said the cost to doctors is ten dollars for fifty milligrams, which is at the rate of $200 a gram.

Two universities have been negotiating with him, Roberts said, for possible studies of the hormone. He said he did not wish to name them for publication, since the negotiations are not complete. "They want to run a two-year experiment," Roberts said. "They need a large sum of money to do this and we haven't much money, and we have not yet found a way to arrange to raise it." He said he has had requests also from a few physicians, offering to make tests in hospitals, or under other conditions where the results will be considered reliable. These physicians also asked for considerable sums of money to cover their expenses.

Roberts said that the medical and scientific people to whom he has talked are interested in his preparation. Roberts said that the cream grew hair in five weeks on two bald heads. 84 At Presbyterian Youth Rally Here Eighty-four young people and ministers from ten churches attended an area rally of the Westminster Fellowship for the Presbytery of Northumberland Sunday in First Church here.
