...clock one afternoon last week, an all-white jury filed into the trial room of the Lawrenceburg, Tenn. courthouse and faced pink, plump Circuit Judge Joe Ingram. For two tense weeks, 25 Tennessee Negroes had been on trial, 23 of them charged with the attempted murder of four white policemen in the ill-famed Mink Slide race riot at Columbia (TIME, March 11). Now, after one hour and 53 minutes of deliberation, the verdict was in: two guilty; 23 not guilty. Exclaimed white Defense Attorney Maurice Weaver jubilantly: "A victory for Americanism...
What's a Psychoneurosis? Later, because of the bitter feeling in Columbia, the trial had been moved to neighboring Lawrenceburg. But even in Lawrenceburg 736 talesmen had had to be questioned before twelve reasonably unprejudiced jurors could be found. During this process, Judge Ingram struck a snag. One talesman's medical certificate, which reported a psychoneurosis, set him frowning. After spelling the word out to himself, the Judge leaned forward and asked the man sympathetically: "Where does it hurt? What ails you?" One of the defense lawyers, a Negro, respectfully explained the term to the Judge...
Among Army and Navy officers the hottest question of the 'week was not the atomic bomb but the merger of the armed services.

Reported Admiral Jonas H. Ingram, U.S. Atlantic Fleet commander: since 1941 the U.S. sub hunt had covered 30,000,000 square miles of ocean to fight a maximum German fleet of 450 submarines. The German attack peak was in 1942-43, but by spring of 1943 the defense had its fo'c'sle head above water. By V-E day the U.S. had 126 sure submarine kills and had escorted 16,760 ships across the Atlantic...
Meanwhile, citizens along the Atlantic coast, who had been warned by Admiral Jonas H. Ingram to watch out for V-1 (TIME, Jan. 22), got a few official tips on V-protection. London guessed that U-boats equipped with launching platforms might carry and launch four or five V-1's apiece. The best defense, once the robombs are launched, is probably alert spotting and pursuit by fighter planes. (Against this defense, V-1 is usually camouflaged with dark green paint on top, light blue underneath.) A Washington rocket expert of the Army Air Forces calculated that within...
