COTTON INSULATION TAKES TO RAILS
Cotton insulation advanced one step further into the industrial
field when the Illinois Central railroad recently installed cotton insula
tion in one of its rebuilt express refrigerator cars at McComb, Miss.,
the National Cotton Council reports. In the photo above, a workman
demonstrates ease with which cot’.on can be installed in the car roof,
while, below, the metal-foil backed cotton has been installed in the
sides of the car. Flame-proof cotton resulted in saving of more than
a ton of dead weight and improved insulating efficiency of the car
surfaces an average of 35 per cent.
May Go To Chair
For Second Time
New Iberia, La.—A rusty alarm
clock on the jailer’s desk ticked
away the hours of Willie Francis’
life tonight, but not a legal step
had been taken to prevent his re
turning to the electric chair Thurs
day.
A legal representative of the Nat
ional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored people reported
that he had hit snags at every turn
in his attempts to start machinery
to save the life of the 17-year old
negro murderer.
Fate Uncertain
And unless a stay for execution
. . or a pardon ... or a commuta
tion of sentence is obtained, Francis
will be rushed in/to the parish pail at
nearby St. Martinsville Thursday
There an all-too-familiar sight will
greet him: the state of Louisiana’s
portab'e electric chair.
Gov. James H. Davis, who grant
ed Francis a seven-day reprieve last
week after he survived an attempt
to electrocute him, was in Washing
ton.
