Womans Report
Leads To Firing
Of Wis. Police
A woman 
accused of corrupting the Milwankee 
police department, last
week, told the police commission
how she ran a lucrative prostitution 
business for a number of
years while bribing detectives with
money, gifts and whiskey in return
for protection against raids and
arrest.
After hearing the testimony of
Mrs. Johnnie Mae Jackson, the
commissioner told two policemen
their usefulness to the department
is at an end and fired them on
the spot.
The two policemen, James C.
Donnelly, 41, and Robert L. Guarke,
35, both white had been denoted
from detectives to patrolmen and
placed on 30 day suspensions on the
basis of earlier testimony of how
she virtually outwitted the police
force with the cops assistance, the
commission decided that the suspension 
imposed by Police Chief
Howard O. Johnson was too light.
Mrs. Jackson testified at the
commission hearing that neither
she nor her girls were arrested or
even molested because Donnelly
and Guarke served as lookouts
within the department for her.
They would tip her off in advance
on any planned raids or investigations, 
she said.
In return she added, the two cops
would come to her brother, check
on her girls, drink liquor and
accept regular pavoffs. She said she
paid the cops $10 to $20 a month
for three years. The detectives denied 
that charge but admitted
taking $20 or $30 form Mrs. Jackson. 

The protection the cops provided
was air tight, Mrs. Jackson said.

OCD, Boy Scouts Push
Family Alert Project

The Family Alert information
Packets for Cub Scout Leaders are
now being mailed by OCD to more
than 500 Scout Councils, who will
be requested to order a packet for
each pack and den leader in their
areas. When these leaders receive
their packets, they will be asked to
order copies of the enclosed publications 
for each Cub Scout.
The publications contained in
the packets will be used by Cub
Scouts and their families participtpating 
in the nationwide Family 
Alert project, to be carried out
during January 1964.
One objective of the Cub Scout
program is to encourage parents to
work with their sons. At den meetings, 
Den Mothers start projects
that are then completed by the
boys and their parents at home.
Parents thus become partly re
sponsible 
for weir sons advancement 
in the Cub Scout organisation
The Civil defense activity will help
to inform Cub Scouts and their
parents of actions they should take
in event of a civil defense emergency. 

The Family Alert project fof
Cub Scouts is part of the overall
Emergency Preparedness B. S. A
program carried on for the pass
several years by the Boy Scout
of America as its contribution to
the nations civil defense prepared
ness program. The Boy Scouts (1
years and older) are participate
in Individual Preparedness pro
jects, and the Explorer Scout
(high school age) in Unit Pre
paredness activities.
All Scout units that successfully
complete their projects and meet
their emergency preparedness re
quirements will be awarded spec
ial citations by the Boy Scouts of
America.

Weight Of Whole Church
In Rights Movement Set
The three
month old Commission on Religion
and Race of the National Council
of Churches is planning a crash
program to bring the weight of
the whole church into the national 
movement for civil rights.
How this is to be accomplished
was a key discussion point in the
two day civil rights conference
sponsored by the commission at
the Nebraska Center for Continuing 
Education in Lincoln from Sept.
4-5.
Dr. Robert W. Spike, executive
director, said in his report the
Commission must concentrate on
the deeper job of helping white
and Negro Christians see their
comomn task and calling in the local 
scene. The Negros fight must
become the whole churchs flight,
so he will no longer be put in the
embarrassing and potentially unhealthy 
position of having to fight
for his rights alone.
The Commission reaffirmed the
objectives for which it was founded
at the General Board meeting of
the Council in New York City on
June 8 –to work for the desegregallon 
of churches, strong civil
rights legislation, arid church involvement 
in direct community action. 

Two congressmen and a noted
labor leader agreed in their talks
to the 150 Protestant clergymen and
state and local church council leaders 
attending the conference from
13 midwestern states that the
churches can wield decisive power
in the effort to obtain passage of
civil rights legislation.
Conference participants were urged 
by several speakers to mobilize
denominational forces in their
states to tell their congressmen the
churches want the civil rights measure 
passed, States represented were
Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, 
Nebraska, North and South
Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
It is in these states, according to
a national NAACP leader, that the
so far uncommitted vote must be
secured. Clarence Mitchell, director
of the Washington, D. C., bureau
of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
said that 18 of 26 Senators and 53
of 89 Representatives form Midwest
states have indicated support for
the legislation, but nothing less
than unanimous backing of the
bill is what we should seek.
In his address to the opening
luncheon, Governor Frank Morrison 
of Nebraska declared that integration 
is not a Negro, problem
but a white problem. The governor 
said discrimination has resulted 
in untold losses to the advance 
of Americas scientific and
political life and threatens the nations 
position of world leadership.
Future working plans were, outlined 
by Dr. Spike at the third
monthly meeting of the Commission, 
which followed adjournment
of the mid western church civil
rights conference.
He said the Commission is considering 
the establishment of a
big fund to did education, job
and professional training of Negroes. 
Industry can be tapped for
contributions, he suggested.
The Commission will continue to
strengthen the ties binding, civil
eights groups and the churches, he
said. And the churches will continue 
to assist in local situations to
bring about bi racial negotiations
and the freeing of people from imprisonment 
for exercising their
God given rights.
The Commission discussed what
stand the churches should take on
civil disobedience, which might
rise where demonstrations are
conducted to gain specific civil
lights goals, We decided to recognize 
that there are times when the

church can understand the need
for demonstrations when other methuds 
have failed, Dr. Spike later 
reported.

Appliances Of The
Future To Be
Fair Feature
Whirlpool Corporation recently revealed 
its plans to feature gas and
electric appliances -of the -future
in its exhibit at the 1964-65 New
York Worlds Fair.
To be located in the 200,000 square
foot World of Food pavilion, the
Whirlpool exhibit will dramatize
the companys forward thinking.
Gas and electric appliances and
kitchens, as they will be in years
to come, will be in operation.
Another preview of Whirlpools,
search will feature live demonstrations 
of a total environmental living 
center of the future. Although
the advent of the total environmental 
living center is possible in
todays home, Whirlpool officials
assert that this system will not be
mass produced for many more
years.
The five story World of Food
pavilion, to be one of the largest
pavilions at the Worlds Fair, is
devoted entirely to the food and
food equipment industries of the
world. The Whirlpool exhibit will
occupy the largest segment of the
World of Food pavilion and will be
situated in a prime location near
the main entrance. Whirlpool is the
only major home appliance manufacturer 
represented in the World
of Food pavilion.
Several weeks ago Whirlpool announced 
that its line of. RCA Whirlpool 
Ice Magic ice cube makers had
been selected for exclusive use
throughout the World of Food Pavilion. 
In adidtion, more than 50
Brass Rail restaurants to be located
in key areas at the Worlds Fair
will also have their ice needs provided 
for by RCA Whirlpool Ice
Magic ice makers.

Complaints On
Job Discrimination
Filed By NAACP
A series of
new complaints has been filed with
the Presidents committee on
Equal Employment Opportunty
here by the NAACP, charging discrimination 
in several companies
with federal government contracts.
Complaints were filed this week
by NAACP Labor Secretary Herbert
Hill with Hobart Taylor, executive
vice chairman of the Committee,
against the Union Camp Bag
Paper Corp., of Savannah, Ga.;
Belle City Malleable Iron Co., Walker 
Manufacturing Co., Young Radiator 
Co., and the Racine City
Home for the Aged, all of Racine,
Wise,; and the A One Cleaners,
Provo, Utah.
The complaint against the UnionCamp 
Bag Paper Corp., filed on behalf 
of Felix Jenkins, an NAACP
member, is of particular significance, 
Mr. Hill said, as the company 
is one of the largest paper
manufacturing corporations operating 
with federal government contracts 
in the South.
Through a collective bargaining
agreement with the Brotherhood of
Pulp Sulphite and Paper Mil
Workers Union, AFL-CIO, the
plant maintains separate racial seniority 
lines. These lines llimt Negro 
workers to the lowest paid menial 
job classifications.
They are denied seniority and
promotional rights into desirable
craft and manufacturing classifications, 
Mr. Hill charged. Mr. Jenkins, 
on employee in the plant, was
refused promotion into the power
department, even though he is fully
qualified both in skill and seniority.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN
U. S. PATENT OFFICE

In this program, a number of
young people are hired and given
–on the job –enough college level 
course work in scientific and
engineering subjects to enable chem
to operate as full technical assistants 
to professional technical examiners. 

Thirty two young people six of
whom are Negroes, recently were
hired for these jobs. Each nainee
had qualified on the basis of high
school courses in mathematics and
science, and had scored high on a
battery of tests. The trainees represent 
several states; Alabama,
Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, 
Michigan, Nevada, New York,
North Carolina Ohio Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Texas; Virginia, West
Virginia and Wisconsin, as well as
the District of Columbia.
This new training program has
a two fold purpose. First, it conserves 
the Patent Examiners time
by providing them with personal assistants 
to perform those duties
which do not require professional
ability; and, secondly; It develops
the trainees talents and abilities,
which otherwise might not have
been discovered or utilized.
Another successful project of this
agency was the establishment last
summer, of a Patent Office Academy 
for the purpose of developing
well trained patent, examiners of
maximum efficiency in a minimum
amount of time. The first class of
59 Negro and white students, which
graduated in the spring, attended
half day sessions every morning
for a five week-period. A second
integrated class of 57 examiners

devoted their afternoons to the
training over the same period of
time. All graduated after approximately 
325 hours of study.
The Patent Office has also stepped 
up its recruitment program in
Negro colleges and has improved
its internal promotional procedures
in accordance with the recommendations 
of the Presidents Committee 
on Equal Employment Opportunity. 

David L. Ladd, who recently announced 
his resignation as Commissioner 
of Patents, stated last week
that one of his first actions after
taking office was to set up a promotion 
plan covering all non technical 
positions to which some believed 
Negro employees had little
chance to aspire. This was accomplished 
by the creation of an advisory 
group, including a number
of Negro employees, to revise the
promotion procedures.
The Patent Office now says that
31 per cent of its employees are
Negro and that 29 of them are now
in the salary range of $9,500 to $17,000. 
In addition there are at least
38 who, at their present rate of
progress, should reach this salary
level in a reasonably short time.
Hobart Taylor, Jr., Executive Vice
Chairman of the Presidents Committee 
on Equal Employment Opportunity, 
expressed approval of
the progress in employee relations
made by the Patent Office in the
past two years. He also praised this
office for initiating training programs 
to prepare youths for available 
jobs in the agency.

Committee, they will be known as
Catherine Hughes Waddell GuestJuniors. 
It seems especially appropriate 
to associate with this program 
the name of Mrs. Chauncey
L. Waddell, a Wellesley graduate
who for many years before her
death on December 13, 1961 was
vitally concerned with the advancement 
of educational opportunities
for Negroes, Miss Clapp said.
The guest-juniors will arrive on
the campus on September 22, together 
with all new students, Each
guest, whose expenses will be met
by Wellesley College and the Wellesley 
College Students Aid Society, 
will live In a different dormitory 
and will be expected to participate 
fully in the academic and residential 
life of the College. As in
some Junior Year Abroad programs, 
her academic course will be
selected, insofar as possible, in
terms of her home colleges degree
requirements, and her progress will
be recorded in formal reports to
that college, which will give credits
towards its degree for satisfactory
reports from Wellesley.
The plan for the program was
conceived and developed after the
series of meetings at the White
House in June at which the President 
of the United. States urged
action by September on every front
to help Negroes, especially through
opportunities for education and
employment. William J. Trent,
Executive Director of the United

Negro Colleges Fund, when asked
how Wellesley could determine
which Negro colleges to consult
about feasibility, desirability, and
practicality, gave prompt and important 
help. Through the UNCF
the member colleges were asked
whether they saw value in the
idea and would like to participate.
Their response was, on the whole,
favorable. In August, 14 colleges
nominated 21 candidates. In early
September the Selection Committee
of the UNCF, of which a Wellesley
alumna, Mrs. Richard O. Loengard
of New York City, is chairman,
screened the applications and forwarded 
them to the Wellesley College 
Selection Committee for final
action. The applicants and the
presidents of their colleges have
now been notified of the decisions.
