Agriculture Extension Service Challenge To Kennedy's Policy Under pressure from President Kennedy, Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman has taken on one of the toughest racially segregated agencies in the federal government — the Agriculture Extension Service. Freeman, himself a liberal, has been so conscientious about carrying out his phase of the general desegregation program in government that Paul V. Kepner, present administrator of the service is retiring so as not to be caught in the cross fire. The touchy, subject came up last week when the Secretary reviewed Extension Service policies with officials of the bureau. Efforts to desegregate the Service are expected to be made in the near future as part of the Kennedy Administrations prgoram to enforce existing Federal laws forbidding segregation. The problem in the Extension Service is complicated, however, by the Federal-state-local cooperative nature of the program. Any effort which Freeman makes will run into opposition in the South a well as in Congress, where southern senators and representatives control the Agriculture Committees. A determined desegregation effort by Freeman, who had a strong; civil rights record as govnor of Minnesota, could affect the Administration's entire farm program on Capitol Hill. The best known Extension Service employes are the county agricultural agents who work with farmers to help them improve their practices and yields. Other Extension Service employes work as farm economists, diary experts, home economists and home demonstration workers. The quasi-social nature of many county agent and home demonstration agent projects, which are carried out on farms or in farm homes, further complicates the segregation issue.

NAACP attorneys filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Mississippi this week in the case of an Association official convicted of contempt of court for commenting on the outcome of a Negro's court trial. Medgar Evers, NAACP field secretary for Mississippi, was convicted of constructive contempt, sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $100 for commenting to a news reporter that the conviction of the Negro was a "mockery of judicial justice." The case raises an issue of restriction on free speech — whether in Missisippi a private citizen can afely comemnt on the outcome of a court case already decided. Lawyers for Even, Robert L. Carter, NAACP general counsel, and Jack H. Young of Jackson, Miss, will argue that Evers' statement, made on the day following the court decision, was a valid exercise of his right to freedom of speech which is protected against state interference under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendemnt. They will also argue that constructive contempt within the meaning of Mississippi law was "never charged nor proved," that the judgment in the lower court failed to set forth corrupting elemans in Evers' statement. The case referred to by Evers was that of Clyde Reward, who on Nov. 21, 1900, was tried and convicted of burglary in the Circuit Court of Forrest County, Mississippi, and sentenced to seven years imprisonment for "agreeing" to the theft of $25 worth of chicken feed. A motion for a new trial was overruled. The convicting jury was composed of white persons who found Kennard guilty after only ten minutes of deliberation. The heavy sentence was particul arly significant since Kennard had a few months earlier attempted unsuccessfuly to enroll in Mississippi Southern University.

Clinton, Chicago 6, Illinois GOP, In Attack On JFK, Gives 'Mock Oscars' The Republican National Committee, in a something - serious, something light mood, thumped the Kennedy administration Friday on defense policy and twitted it with mook "Oscar" nominations. The committee publications, "Battle Line," said the most dramatic thing about President Kennedy's message on the defense budget was the "sudden disappearanee of the so-called missile gap." The publication charged that "both Democratic increases are a mere drop in the massive defense budget," and they amount to conceding that the "Eisenhower administration did build and finance the most powerful defense forces in history." Mock "Oscar" awards paralleling the movie industry nominations were drawn tip for outstanding figures in the Democratic camp. Top acting nominations went to U.N. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson in "The Mouse That Roared," to Caroline Kennedy in "The Entertainer," to Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn., in "Gone With The Wind," and to Rep. Howard Smith D-Va., who lost his fight to stop ralization of the House Rules Committee, in "The Angry Silence." Other acting nominations were for the President's father, Joseph P. Kennedy in "The Outsider," and to Dr. Janet Travell, White House physician who recommended a rocking chair for the President, in "Rock Around the Clock." Best screenplay awards were suggested for G. Mennen Williams, undersecretary of state for African affairs. "I'm All Right Jack"; the Democratic Platform Committee, "Left, Right and Center"; and the Cook County Democratic Committee in Chicago, "Never Steal Anything Small."

Pres. Kennedy Pays Tribute To Rep. Dawson "It is doubtful that ever a President of the United States has paid a higher tribute to a Member or the Congress" than President Kennedy recentiy paid to Congressman William L. Dawson, stated Congressma Barratt O'Hara this week. He was referring to a telegram which President Kennedy sent to Edward B. Toles, president of the Cook County Bar Association, on the occasion of the 47th annual installation banquet at which Congressman Dawson was one of the honorees. In his message President Kennedy referred to the honored Congressman as "a man who, through selfless dedication to principles and devoted service to his profession, his community, and the Nation has achieved a position of unique distinction in the life and the political institutions of the United States." The President also extended fincere congratulations to the other honored — Judge Irvin C. Mollison and Scovel Richardson, of the U. S. Customs Court, and Judge Herman E. Moore retired, of the U. S. District Court of the Virgin Islands. The President's message was inserted in the Congressional Record, Monday, by Congressman O'Hara on behalf of the dean of the Illinois delegation, Congressman Thomas J. O'Brien, and his colleagues from Chicago. SPANISH RIGHTS REAFFIRMED Rights of Spain over Rio de Oro in Spanish were reaffirmed in a diplomatic note made public last week.

Nature's Best Petroleum Jelly National Planning Association Sets More Curbs On Job Bias The Notional Planning Association Monday (April 3) proposed Federal and State legislation containing penalties to curb racial discrimination in employment. The association is a nonprofit, nonpolitical organization devoted to planning by Americans in agriculture, busiess, labor, ad the professions. In a statement released Monday a table showed that 1,155,000 colored workers were unemployed in February. White workers unemployed totaled 1550,00 making 5,700.000 unemployed workers. The percentage of colored workers unemployed was twice that of while workers. The table showed that 15 per cent of colored workers in the labor force were unemployed as compared to 7.3 per cent of white workers. Of the unemployed colored workers 734,000 were males and 421,000 were females, with the heaviest concentration of unemployed in the age group between 25 and 44. The NPA asserted in the statement that the rate of long -term, as well as short - term, unemployment, is markedly higher among colored workers, and especially colored men, than among white workers. It repeated the truism that colored workers tend to be among the last to be hired in recovery periods. This may not be entirely due to racial discrimination as such, the NPA said, although this factor is undoubtedly present and in many cases all - important. But it also is due to the fact, the statement said, that colored workers are concentrated in unskilled and semi-skilled occupations which are among the first to feel the impact of adverse economic swings. The NPA reported that in February, for every 1000 workers in the civilian labor force, 53 colored men, as compared with only 22 white men, had been looking for work for is weeks or longer. To curb racial discrimination, the association proposed: 1. Vigorous educational efforts to influence public opinion. "Unless we awaken a sense of public awareness that our present state of affairs is not only unjust but actually means wasting or under utilizing our resources of human skill and ability, no legislation can be effective in this field. "Certainly, no legislation can be effective in this area without creating a deep sense of public and individual responsibility. Such a program should have high priority, and considerable financial resources should be specifcally earmarked." 2. The establishment of a Federal mediation board to which all cares of racial discrimination should be referred. "Such a board should see its task in providing counsel and persuasion for the offending parties rather than in their prosecution. 3. "Legislation forbidding racial discrimination in employment with Federal and State penalties for noncompliance, after all possibilities of achieving an amicable settlement through mediation have been exhausted."

Sunday School Lesson – The question for which we seek an answer today is: How is God the source of true wisdom? The Books which we study today are classed as the "wisdom literature" of the Old Testament. This particular part of the Old Testament differs from the other parts because it is not concerned with history or prophecy, or even religious piety, as such. It is much more reflective, and is closely related to man's intellectual nature. Job deals with the problems of suffering, but his ultimate teaching is much broader than this. The Book of Job is the story of a man's quest for wisdom. We all use the word "wisdom" easily, attaching thereto our own particular connotations. We say this acquaintance is wise, this one foolish, and let it go at that. Yet "wisdom" means different things to different people. To some, wisdom is acquired by education. Still others lean to the belief it is acquired by understanding. But wisdom is fundamentally a mixture of a lot of things – education, understanding, experience and religious beliefs. Wisdom is truly found when we go beyond the resources of man to the infinitely greater resources of God. Only God understands everything prefectly; therefore, only God. Only God understands everynecessary the ultimate source of all wisdom. This is what the Bible means by its declaration "the fear of the Lord is 'he beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10, Proverbs 15:33, Psalm 111:10, and Job 28: 20.) It must be obvious to every Christian that, the reason for wisdem's source in God is found in the role of God as Creator and Sustainer of the Universe, and only he, and he alone, fully understand his creation. As Job putt it: "For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees 'everything under the heavens." God, by the use of his wisdom, formed the earth, weighed the winds, measured out the waters, formed the path for lightning and thunder - brought into being all the great elemental forces of nature - those forces which man, through use of his intellect, is learning to harness today. Some we have harnessed for good purpose, some for bad; and we are currently exploring still more possibilities in the realm of science, and need to pray for wisdom in the handling of these forces God's wisdom ... or we may be paying the way for the destructtion of the world as we know it today. An educated man has a civilized mind, a desciplined will, and, most important, a brotherly heart. Education, as a step to wisdom, is unworhy of the name if it leaves us blind to another's needs indifferent to another's hurts, or enemy to another's rights. Education betrays its heritage if it makes us too proud, too self-importan, too calloused to be brotherly. The priest and the Levite who are described in the parable of the Good Samaritan were educated men, but they lacked brotherly hearts. For this lack they stand guilty and condemned before mankind. It was the poor Samaritan, uneducated, unlearned, who possessed the brotherly heart. Education that does not build a temple for the mind and raise an Altar for the heart is like a tree without roots. At its best, education encourages and directs us in the greaest adventure of the human 'spirit – the redemptive response of mind and heart to God. God, the source of all true wisdom, is eager to lead us a redeeming hand in our struggle to obtain the qualities of an educated and wise man; a civilized mind, a disciplined will, a brother ly heart, and a soul in love with the highest.

Former Georgian On Michigan Civil Service Group A Negro who came north from his native Georgia in 1937 because he believed he had a future in Detroit is the first of his race to be appointed to the State Civil Service Commission. Forrest P. Green, 46, president of the Michigan Barber School Inc., received his appointment last week from Gov. Swainson. "I am happy about the post," said Green. "At the same time I realize I have a real responsibility. I Intend to do the best, possible job to merit the confidence of the governor and of the people of Michigan." The commission appoints and promotes all state civil service employees. It also must approve all demotions or firings as well as perform a host of other dutes concerning state employes. Green, and his wife, Mamie, have three sons. Born in Atlanta, he is a graduate of Morehouse College, Atlanta, where he played half-back on the football team. His father operated a barbershop and restaurant in Atlanta, where his mother was a school teacher.

The so-called pigeon drop game is a very old one. Some police officials say it is a thousand years old and that the ingredients that went into It came from China and it was being played In the early part of this century. Up to about 1945 and in the early forties, there were always adults, older persons who were the operators and players. But in the late forties there came a time when the key confidence men discovered that a young girl could more effectively approach an older person and enter into a conversation. Having made that discovery, apparently a sustained effort was made to get young and rather innocent looking girls to inveigle them or recruit them as operators. The method of recruitment was normally for these men to meet the girl, entertain her lavishly, and promise her all kinds of material things. After that, the next step was frequently to place her in prostitution. Then after a period of time she would then be told about a way of stepping up her earnings and she would be taught the confidence game. One of the girls recruited was a Cleveland girl who attended a nursing school. She was instructed as to how to play the game and she was sent out on the first occasion with a girl named Vera Cooper. They went to Detroit on their first job. A significant feature of this case was the manner in which this young girl was induced to enter the pigeon-drop business and go to Detroit when she was pregnant and had no facilities. Vera Cooper, the veteran operator and one of a stable of confidence operators, influenced her by telling her this was a way of making money for her prenatal and hospital expenses. Fashion Decrees Spikes On Heels But Carpet Reels Who likes spike is often the question before the house these days. From bridge parties to board rooms for large corporations, the cry goes up what's to be done about this most devastating fad in the history of shoe fashion, the spiked heel. Hostesses wall that "spikes" are beating their carpets into a wooly mush. Wood floors are being splintered, rugs are fraying, and all the o - called "soft" floorings the taking on a highly unwelcome new pattern of free - style digs, pocks and slithering slashes. And now they've come up with the blood - curdling estimate that even one nice sprightly little 120pound gal will hammer a total of 731 tons of punishment into the floor, under her spiked heels, during just one normal day. About the only people who aren't exactly crying the blues over this situation are the hard-flooring people. Indications are those nasty spikes may spark a boom in sales for super - tough floorings like quarry tile and ce mosaics which seem to be about the only materials that can't be victimized by the fatal fashion. Voter Registration In Louisiana Parish Begins The Justice Department has begun an investigation of voter registration in St. Helena Parish (County) where a special "school closing" election is scheduled for April 22. A spokesman for the Justice Department in Washington said Assistant Attorney General Burke Marshall, who is in charge of the Civil Rights Division, ordered the investigation to determine whether federal voting laws had been violated by depriving colored persons of voting rights. When the polls closed two weeks ago, 1,420 whites and 14 colored persons were listed as eligible to vote in the election. St. Helena, with a 1960 population of 9,092, had 2,478 whites and 1,243 colored persons registered for the Presidential election on Nov. 8. A special three-judge federal court is scheduled to hold a hearing on April 7 on a move by the NAACP to block the election and have the Louisiana law under which it was called declared unconstitutional. St. Helena Parish is under orders from Federal Judge J. Skelly Wright to desegregate its public schools, but no definite date has been set. The parish school board called the April 22 election to let voters decide whether they want public schools closed. It acted under a state law passed at the fifth special session of the Legislature authorizing local school boards threatened with integration to call such elections. Segregation leaders of the Gov. Jimmie H. Davis administration have indicated that St. Helena would be the arena for a test case on this strategy to block school integration. A. P. Tureaud of Now Orleans, an NAACP attorney, is asking for an injunction to stop the St. Helena election on the ground that it is merely another step to get around the Supreme Court decision outlawing racially segregated public schools.
