...announced last week that two black men are under federal indictment in South Carolina on charges of holding at least nine white migrant farm workers in peonage and involuntary servitude. The two blacks, both from Florida, are accused of holding the workers confined against their will last summer during peach picking around Spartanburg, S.C.

Died. James E. Allen Jr., 60, former U.S. Commissioner of Education; with his wife Florence in the crash of a sightseeing plane near Peach Springs, Ariz.

The family patriarch, a stolid pressman of 41 with muttonchop whiskers, sits in his modest living room playing with two of his seven children. In the kitchen, three women are busy over several bushels of peaches. One woman is peeling the plump yellow fruit; another toils over the kettles simmering on the stove; a third pops peach halves into bottles. The tableau seems to be a Rockwellian slice of rural Americana, a pair of friendly neighbors helping a housewife put up peaches for the winter. There...
