...isolated instances, the South was trying to make good the claim: ¶ Georgia's Department of Corrections, helped by the FBI, started new investi' gations into the killing last July 11 of eight Negro convicts at the Glynn County highway camp (TIME, July 28). A special grand jury had previously exonerated Warden H. G. Worth and the four guards who shot them.

Wherever Lord and Lady Mountbatten went that day, their open carriage, drawn by six bay horses, was beset by happy, cheering Indians who swept aside police lines. A Briton received a popular ovation rarely given even to an Indian leader.
