Sheriff Plays Role As Integrationist How the Greenwood, Miss., police chief played unsuspecting in tegrationist — rolling out the red carpet for a visiting Chicago detective who unknown to the chief, was a Negro — is revealed in the December issue of Ebony, now on the newsstands. It happened when Chicagoan Horasce Noble, a Negro who, says Ebonly' "looks as white as any sheriff in Mississippi," was sent to Greenwood to pick up a prisoner who had jumped bond in Chicago. Noble himself tells the story in Ebony: "I didn't tell the town's police chief what' color I was, so he spread the red carpet for me. He look me to dinner in the best restaren't, introduced me to the prettiest waitness in the place, then put me up in Greenwood's finest hotel. To this day, that man doesn't know he's an integrator." Last year Noble left the Chicago police department to become a of the sheriff's police for the southern half of Caok County, Ill. Previously a top detective on the Chicago police department's nardotics and robbery details, the 30 year old Marine veteran joined the Chicago police force in 1954. Noble came to Chicago as a 16year-old — but he's a native of Yazoo City, Miss.

Beaver, nationally known banker, churchman, civic personality and civil rights leader, has been indicted here on felony charges of making and accepting illegal loans. Executive vice president of the $65,000,000 Trans Bay Federal Savings and Loan Association, Beaver is accused of having made substantial profits from illegal transactions involving the recently resigned president of General Federal Savings and Loan association in Sacramento, Carl K. Shaw. Trans Bay, which recently claimed assets of $76,000,000 is the nation's largest Negro savings institution. Beaver, a native of Jefferson City, Mo., has served in numerous civic posts. He was the first Negro to head a public agency in San Francisco—the Housing Authority. He has served as president of the San Francisco chapter of the NA ACP and as president of the Bay Area Urban League. He was head of this year's local observance of Brotherwood Week.

Heroes Of Emancipation During Reconstruction, for the first four years following the Civil War, there were no Negroes in ConGress. Thorughout the next eight years there was an aoverage of six. During the twelve Reconstruction years from 1865 to 1877 only two Negro-Senators were seated and fourteen Representatives, six of whom were from South Carolina where the black population was heaviest and political activity most aggressive. Hiram Revels, the first Negro United States Senator, was born free, in Fayetteille, North Carolina, September, 1822. Because he was unable to octal ran education in his own state, he moved to Indiana and began to study for the ministry. He pursued his studies at Knox College and was ordained an A. M. E. minister in 1845. He served as a pastor in the Midwest, Tennessee and Kentucky and just prior to the civil War was principal of a Negro school in Baltimore, Maryland. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Revels assisted in the organization of the first two Negro regiments in the State of Maryland. During his service in the war, he acquired an outstanding-reputation-among Ne gross. At the end of the war the clergyman moved to Mississippi. As a result of his training for the ministry, he became an effictive and lucid speaker. Acording to historians, he was chosen by the State Legislature to run for the seat vacated by Senator Jefferson Davis, primarily because of his effectiveeness on the lecture platform. In 1879, Revels succeeded Jefferson Davis and on February 25 took his seat as the first Negro to serve in the Senate. Many Republicans who would have preferred a full-blooded Negro who had been a slave were disappointed that Revels, who was both a mulatto and free-born, had succeeded Jefferson Davis. On the other hand, the Democrats argued that he could not presumably be seated because a Senator must have been nine years a citizen and Revels, who was a Mississippi Negro, had not been a citizen before the Civil War Despite loud opposition, Revels retained his seat in the Senate. At the end of his term in office he returned to Mississippi where he become president of Alcorn College, a Mississippi state school for Negross. He later served as pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal Church at Richmond, Indiana. After serving for several years in this pastoral Revels returned to Mississippi where he tied at Aberdeen, on January 16, 1901. HIRAM R.

Dr. Jackson In Purdue University Club Address Dr. J. H. Jackson, president of the National Baptist convention, U. S. A., Inc., was the principal speaker at the noonday luncheon of the Perdue Club, Purdue University, December 4. The Club is composed of engineers, lawyers, business executives, and vestment brokers. It is a part of e largest engineering school in e world. Dr. Jackson pointed out that citSens in a democracy like ours are sore than than the passive recipients of the blessings of a great country. Our founding fathers gave to us an idea, a blueprint, and laid well the foundation of this great Republic and did much toward the completion of its super structure, but much remains to be done. A society in which private citizens are denied their rights and the chief leader of state, the symbol of the nations life, may become the victim of an assassin's bullet, is far from complete and needs its cultural, moral, and splitual fibre greatly strengthened. While this is a great free Republic, he said, it is not free enough to be the dispenser of freedom without free men working together to make the nation more free. A democracy can not continue to move forward on the inertia of the past; it needs the continuing support of dedicated free men who will put the nation's life and welfare before personal gain and personal satisfaction. The speaker emphasized more than once that American citizens are more than reapers of the fruits of freedom planted by our founding fathers in the distant past, they must be also planters of new seeds of freedom, justice, and the equality that generations yet unborn may reap the harvest and continue to till the soil of Amerlcan democracy. This responsibility rests on the shoulders of the rich and poor, the learned and the unlearned, the majority and minority groups, and men and women in all walks of life.

Rights Foes Faces NAACP Vote Action Congressmen who opposed Civil rights legislation may find themselves out of a job, if the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has anything to do with it. Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive, secretary, indicated in an interview on a local television program here Sunday, December 1, that the civil rights group was putting into effect the mandate set 'forth in a resolution adopted at the Association's convention last summer in Chicago. That resolution called upon the 400,000 members in the 1,600 branches, and college and youth units to oppose those candidates whose record and pronouncements do not support the Negro's civil rights objectives. As Mr. Wilkins explained in his keynote address at that convention; "... we intend to work actively for the defeat in the next election of those lawmakers who fail to support and vote for strong civil rights legislation. "We shall remember them and our NAACP units in 49 states will work on the precinct level, in the wards, counties, Congressional districts and states to try our best to see that they never again get a chance to misrepresent the people and to subvert freedom." In the televised interview, Mr. Wilkins said, in the past the N. A. A. C. P. has merely compiled the Congressman's record on civil rights and circulated It among members and friends without indicating one way or the other how they should vote. "Next November," said the head of the oldest and largest group fighting for racial equally, "we're going to say to our members, this Congressman voted against the civil rights bill and we urge you to vote to defeat him." This definite policy will be carried out in the smallest detail, both in the North and in the South, "everywhere the Negroes can get to a ballot box and" drop a ballot in," Mr. Wilkins added. Concerning, the group's voter registration drive below the Mason-Dixon line, Mr. Wilkins said the NAACP has been working in in about forty communities in the South registering large numbers of voters in the urban centers. Sunday School Lesson Are we, as Christian, under obligation to share our faith with others, even though those others openly oppose that faith? Paul thought so, as witnessed by his letter to the Galatians, which letter is the subject of our study today. Just as in the Church at Corinth, Paul had opponents of his teachings among the Galatian Christians. The Galatian church was established early in the history of Christianity. Therefore' its adherent were not as strongly rooted in their beliefs as were the later Christians, and when those came along who opposed Paul and his ministry, they found, a ready ear for their doctrines. Incensed by this wavering in belife among Ms earlier converts, Paul's language becomes uncompromising. There is, asserts Paul, no other gospel; anyone teaching gospel—contrary—to the one Preached by himself (Paul) was "accursed" Strong words, indeed, from a man who had been criticized by this Corinthian adversaties for being "of a meek demeanor." But Paul felt strongly that the gospel he preached was "given" from God, and he could therefore brook no human tampering with it. And as proof that be was ordained by God to spread his ministry, he emphasized the act that in the beginning he had been uncompromisingly opposed to the Christian teachings, end had fought those teachings with all the fanaticism of a Zealot. It was his subsequent conversion, and his breaking away from the concept that Gentile converts must, first of all, become Jews and keep the Jewish laws before they could become Christians, that stirred up much of the controversy amidst which this particular Letter was written. Paul was a man of considerable stature in his time; even his worst enemies could not deny that he lived by the Gospel he proclaimed, so vigorously. He could never stand by, silent and permissive, if he saw wrongdoing and deeds that were contrary to his beliefs; he was always ready and willing to speak out, loudly end clearly, for all to hear, and there was never any doubt left in the minds of his listeners as to where he stood. And in so doing, he was proclaiming his faith-in a practical way; he was, in fact, leading by example. Would that there were more among us today with Paul's strength! Then this Christian faith we profess and teach would indeed be something with which the Godless have to reckon! Only too often we are weak in our witnest for Christ. Every true Christian is called upon to witness for Christ through the leading of a Godly life. Mere words—mere lip service—will not suffice. Is the weaknessof our witnessing due, in part, to a lack in our spiritual life? Are we vague in our" relationship with God? Are we too busy "doing" instead of thinking? Christ "gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil are" (Galatians 1:4). This is the faith to be shared-the fundamental element in our faith as Christians ... the fact that God was, in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. (2Corinthians 5:19). This is, in essence, God's saving action, as seen in the Resurrection. it is no mere accident that the underlying theme of every New Testament writing is the Resurrection of our Lord. Although enemies of Christ might escape the claims of His teaching-even the dramatic and moving impact of His life and death-God has a word to Say beyoud death." Our Savior is alive; the faith we have in Him is too glorious a thing to be hoaded selfishly. We must therefore share it with aur fellowmen on every occasion that presents itself to us. That is our bounded Chritian duty. That is what Paul set himself to do.

FREEDOM THROUGH TOYS ALLEN ENTERPRISE CO. 1731 Amsterdam Ave., New Your 31. N.Y. Leroy Allen, President Doom For Unskilled Labor Seen The unskilled worker is economically doomed in today's automated scheme of things and in the foreseeable future, Whitney M. Young, Jr., of New York, executive director of the National Urban League, declared in an address here. Mr. Young spoke at a conference on automation, education and collective bargaining, held under auspices of the American Federation on Automation and Employment, in the Ponce de Leon Hotel today. "Equal opportunity will not give the unskilled man the skill he lacks," said Mr. Young. "To expect him to compete for better Jobs without training is like expecting me to speak Spanish without having learned it. Withput training, the unskilled man is doomed in our society." The Urban League's national spokesman warned that "it takes more, than good will" to equip an unskilled individual with what he must have to compete successfully in today's swiftly automating job market. It will require, he declared, long - range planning and combined efforts by management, organized labor, government, Negro organizations and cooperation of the worker himself to provide him with a skill requisite to present manpower demands. "It will take a massive, crash program to "get the Negro moving up into skilled jobs," Mr. Young said. "This must involve both a training program for youth and a re-training, program for adults."

Tan Topics by C NE Handel's "Messiah" Great Xmas Music Of all the music associated with Christmas, perhaps no composition so well embodies the spirit of the holiday as Handel's "Messiah." The great-oratorio has-enthralled countless audiences. It has been said to have brought more money for charity than any other single piece of music. And it marked a rebirth for its composer. George Friderick Handel was virtually a has - been in 1741. London had grown tired of his Italian operas and of him. More than once he had barely missed being thrown into debtors' prison, and his health was beginning to fail. Then came a commission from the lord lieutenant of Ireland and the governors of three charitable institutions for Handel to conduct a series of charity concerts, reports World Book Encyclopedia. He began to compose a new piece for the tour. Handel was not an especially religious man, but something seemed to possess him as he worked. For some 23 days he kept to his study, refusing to see any visitors, leaving his food untouched and working through the night. Now he played the harpsichord, now he sang, then back to the writing. His servants thought he was going mad. Often they found him in tears When he finished the "Hallelujah Chorus," he declared, "I did think I did see all Heaven before me and the great God himself." On April-13, 1742, 700 people crowded Into a Dublin music hall for the premiere of "Messiah." It was a resounding success. At the first English performance a year later, King George II was so overwhelmed by the "Hallelujah Chorus" that he rose from his seat and stood throughout the section. The audience, of course, followed the example of their king, and so began a custom which survives to our day. Despite the king's Appreciation, however, London was not ready to accept Handel and the concert failed. It was not until Handel began directing annual benefit performances of "Messiah" at the London Foundling Hospital in the 1750's that his adopted countrymen came to recognize it as a masterpiece, and once again gave this their acclaim. The oratorior a musical composition using soloists, chorus and orchestra, is named after the Oratory, or mission hall, in Rome, where sacred musical performances were held in the 1500's according to World Book Encyclopedia." Aliens Anti-Bias Plan Backed By Rockefeller In support of Commissioner James E. Allen's desegregation. Program Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller has issued a statement affirming that "the Board of Regents, under Commissioner Allen has specific powers to determine educational policies, to make rules for carrying those policies out and to administer all laws relating to education." The Governor set forth his position in a statement sent to Dr. Eugene T.
