Beauchamp Work For Civil Rights, Peace Corpsman Urges Tennessee A. and I State University graduated 248 at the close of its largest summer school in history last week. Samuel P. Yette, Peace Corps Executive Secretary and an A. and I graduate spoke. The members of the graduating classes were challenged to work for civil rights by solving the problems of poverty, living in the world of today and writing for the World of tomorrow. Speaking before a capacity audience, Yette who was the first editor of the student newspaper... The Meter — at A. and I. quoted Senator Hubert Humphrey's book, on Povert." "The issues of poverty and civil rights are deeply intertwined presenting the central moral problem of our time." Yette, a native of Harriman, Tenn. told the and ence; "You are of course challenged to continue the social revolution to achieve dignity and equality of opportunity for all the people of this nation. But beyond that you have the chance and the duty to broad en that revolution to deal with such over-all national concerns as automation and the need for laternational understanding and progress." Yette said three areas must be of special interest to the graduate "politics internationalism and attitudes suitable for a new car." Concerning politics Yette quoted the late President John F. Kennedy speaking at the University of North Carolina in 1961: "Those of you who record my profession of political life with some disdain should remember that it made it possible for me to move from being an obscure lieutenant Commander-in-Chief in 14 years. with very little teehnical competence. "The civil rights bill and the antipovertv bill were both creatures of politics." Yette said. "and the changes yet to be made to meet the problems of entrenched disadvantage and automation must also have great political vision and support Politics must become at least a secondary concern for all of you as never before." The speaker called upon the graduates to answer the question of what they will do when fairness, hardship or unfavor by remembering their school's motto, "Think, Work and Serve." "And yet, we must keen those, concepts current." he said. "We must think new thoughts, keep current the difintion of work, and serve the needs of people in the new world next door." Yette warned the students to "make no mistake, it is a new world It is unlike your, old world that offers security in ignorance, the luxury of double -standards, the plea of 'nolo contendere,' and escape from responsibility." The speaker closed with what he called the "classic challenge" of our time, quoting President Kennedy.' Whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world. ask of us here the same high -Standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good Conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our Seeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessings and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own."

All Negro Bank Being Sought In Troubled Harlem The application was filed by a group of Negroes business and professional men who stated that their primary purpose was to "promote the economic growth and stability! of Harlem and to contribute to the introduction and expansion of Negro" owned and operated businesses." There is one Negro operated saving and loan association in Harlem, Carver Federal. There are no all-Negro cantrolled or totally directed commercial banks in Harlem or in New York State, although an application has been approved for an interracial bank, Freedom National Bank of New York. The founder of the group is Dr. Dunbar S. McLaurin, prominent Harlem economist and lawyer, who also founded the Freedom National Bank, but who is not associated with it any longer. Included in the Organizers is HAROLD M. BAILER, a recognized authority in Financial Administration, former Professor of Business Administration at the University of Pittsburgh, and the recent Comptroller of a B.. F. Goodrich Co. subsidlory. Other key Organizers include ODELL CLARKE for 20 years the Business Manager of the Amalgamated Laundry Workers of America, and presently Advior to Governor Rockfeller on Labor and Food processing matters, and the Chief Investigator of the Congressional House Educational and Labor Committee, DANIEL E. BROWN, Executive Sales Representative of the Empire Corporation of the Ford Motor Company, JOHN W. DUNCAN, Owner and President of Duncan Brothers Funeral Home in Harlem, and CHESTER A. BAGLEY, a certified public Accountant who operates his own film and is likewise Supervising Account and Auditing Supervisor of the Bureau of Exercise Taxes of the City of New York. Dr. McLaurin, correspondent of the group, emphasizes that the six signers of the Application are members of a steering committee which represents the largest crosssection of prominent Negro business and professional men and women in Harlem and New York. The Bank has selected a tentative location of the world famous Theresa" Hotel 'which will be remodeted. Tre group's application proposed initial . capitalization of $1,000,000 to be raised through the sale of 100,000 shares of stock at $10 per share with a per value of $3.50 per share. It was pointed out that the First National Bank of Harlem will be a privately owned bank, with most of the stock already subscribed, although some shares are being reserved for the public. The organizers declined to set a specific date for opening pointing out that there are many difficulties in organizing a back with the goals and objectives of First National Bank of Harlem. Temporary offices for the bank are at 317. West 125th Street, N.Y. City. University of Ilinois to build cultural center. Children and Discrimination More Older Men In Good Heath Ask Retirement An increasing number of older men in good health are choosing to retire, rather than go on working, according to the results of a study just released by the Social Security Administration, Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The new report, fifth in a series on the Social Security Administration's 1963 Survey of the Aged, is based on personal Interviews with a cross - section of the Nation's 9,792,000 men aged 62 and over, including both those who are social secuirty beneficiaries and those who are not. About one cat of five of the reently retired men 65 or over, the reort shows gave a pre erence for eisure as the reason for retirement. In a 1251 survey of social security beneficiaries only three in 10 men gave this reason for retiring. Noting that 98 I rercent of the aged men who were still working, out Who planned to stop work (or to work less), would be eligible for retirement beno its, the report concludes that retirement benefit are an important factor in voluntary retirement. At the same time, the Survey found that among social security beneficiaries who had been wage and salary workers, the proportion of those forced to stop work hecause they had reached compulsory. retirement age had doubled since 1351. In contrast, there was a sharp drop in the who were laid off or whose Jobs were discontinued. These changes, the report says, indicate an increasing use of compulsory retirement systems, in place of less systematic policies to force retirement of aged wage and salary workers covered by social security. Nineteen percent of the recently retired wage and salary workers had been forced to retire by their employers when they reached compulsory retirement age. SONIC BOOMS AND CLOUDS The Federal Aviation Agency has discovered the atmosphere can effect the Intensity of air-plane sonic booms. Tests over Oklahoma City showed that cloud layers, winds, turbulence, varing air temperatures or densities occasionally can greatly magnify sonic booms or deaden the mto whispers.

Sunday School Lesson In the lesson we are studying today, we see Israel wandering away from the paths of the Lord; we see her given the chance of redemption, through God's loving concern in that He appointed leaders to govern and guide them through trials and temptations, back into righteous ways. We see her turn a blind eye to the chance that she had been thus given, and come to punishment because of her lack of concern. The core of our lesson, however, lies in the fact that God ever looks out for his children's well-being. True, some the leaders he appointed, while strong in character, were not exemplary in their behaviour, However, they did serve the purnose for which God had appointed them, which goes to prove that He can and will work through even imperfect instruments to accomplish His plans for his children and their well-being. Before we condemn the Hebrew people however, from their repeated fall from grace, we must remember to judge the only in the light of their times. Originally a nomadic, people, in their new homeland they had to adjust to the life of a settled agricultural people. They had to also learn to govern themselves... by a process of trial and error. Added to that, it-must be remembered that behind them were the hardshios of slave life in Fgvnt. flowed by dreary years of wandering in the wilderness, and the resultant battles to survive. Thus, at the end of their wanderings—on their entry into the promised and—it was just human nature to relax from the disciplines and rigors of ther journev. Perhaps, unwittingly in their effort to make friends with their new neigh then let down the barriers of their inner convictions, and the social contacts with alfen tribes which fine about as a matter of course helped have the way for the Isstes to lost their national identity. Certainly they were exposed to the necessity of trading with their new neighbors; they were exposed to intermarriage of the tribes: they were exposed to the religious practioes of the Can which allowed of more than the people of Israel had been used to for many a year. Thus the comhi of religious fer and sexual indulgence as practiced by Canan naturally held a strong appeal for the newcomers. But the natiance of their God was being sorely tried. Repeatedly be warned them to turn from their worship of false gods, and urged them to return to the ways of their fathers. Finally it seemed He turned his face away from them . . . yet, when they cried out in their oppression. He succoured them by Compassion was always around them, no matter how often they forsook Him. And this has held true, from Biblical days to the present time. in considering our own times, we must remember our history. We can see the hand of God in the selection of Washington to lead in the days of the breaking of the ties with England. We see it in Abraham (Lincoln's struggle to free men from slavery.

The plea for such a forthright stand was made by Roy Wilkins, executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and chairman the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, in testimony before the Committee on Resolutions and platform on the Democratic National Convention here, August 19 Mr. Wilkins also called for planks in the party platform urging strong support of the anti - poverty prognim Revision of congressional procedures to facilitate enactment or legislation, acceleration of school desegregation, reduction of congressional representation by states which disfranchise citizens because of race, expansion of the ban against discrimination in housing, and intervention of the Federal judiciary in cases involving the right to demonstrate peaceably. Praising the "unprecedented teamwork of. President Lyndon B. Johnson an- a bi-partisan congressional bloc" in securing enactment of the Civil Rights Act Mr. Wilkins said that "the legislation reflected a consensus that the protection of constitutional rights is the primary responsibility of the Federal government." Contrary to the racist propaganda being circulated "nothing has been taken from white people" by the new law, Mr. Wilkins pointed out. "All the rights, privileges and prerequisite!; of white Americans are left Intact by the Civil Rights Act. It does not take away any jobs, seniority or social security. It does not destroy the neighborhood schools. It does not mention housing," he said. "High hopes have been aroused by its enactment, but laws are not self - implementing," the NAACP leader continued. "It would be tragic to darn these hopes through jack of enforcement, lack of unds or lack of sufficient and competent personnel. We urge, therefore, that this convert on pledge vigor ous en orcement (in contrast to the squeamish circumlocution at San Francisco) appropriations to ensure an adequate and dedicated and particularly to provide for the expansion of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice." The need for Federal intervention in the administration of justice, he averted, is exemplified by "the Mississippi outrages." He cited local ordinances pasted to present citizens from exercising their rights, excessive ball impend 'upon those arrested and fines meted out by local courts and unseemly procrastination in processing cases through the courts. While condemning rioting and violence, Mr. Wilkins pleaded for understand of our Negro population over the todo "which has been made of violence in Northern cities in contrast to the relative silence over the brutal repressions and killings in Mississippi. The grievnnces are real, and the demands just." Calling for strong support of the anti -.poverty program Mr. Wilkins reminded the committee members that "the economic plight of the slum Negro will not be eased by the enactment of the Civil Rights Act. Even greater frustretion and resentment may be engendered by an equality..... which allows Negroes to compete on equal terms for the diminishing number of jobs available to applicants with the limited skills they have acquired as the result of past discriminations." President Johnson's anti - poverty program, Mr. Wilkins said, "is much more than an election year maneuver His proposals, obviously, arc but a beginning. They The United States, he said, "has should be expanded and pushed." given billions to other countries in recognition of the fact that instability can be checked only by economic aid to people. What is true abroad is true here at home. Reeducation is needed, as is training in vocational skills.

LINDEN NEW JERSEY Writer Says JFK Realized Rights Stand Was Costly The late President John F. Kennedy realized that there was some chance that the civil rights controversy might cost him reelection in 1964, according to Harry Golden, whose book, MR. KENNEDY AND THS NEGROES, will be published as a Crest paperback by Fawcett in August (60c). (The Crest edition appears only three months after the hardcover publication of the book.) Despite this risk, Golden reports, John F. Kennedy told him that there was no turning back. MR. KFNNEDY AND THE NEGROES, called by The New York Times "an important and fascinating book," outlines the movement for Negro civil rights from its earliest beginnings in the 1890's, through its increased momentum in the late 1950's, to its explosion into the streets during the Kennedy administration. Golden calls Kennedy the second "Emancipator' president, arguing that he was the first President since Lincoln to call the fight against racial discrimination a moral issue and pledge the nation itself to the cause of Negro equality. Kennedy met the challenge thrown down by the segregationist South — that the ruling of the high court or, civil rights was not the law of the lard but the law of the case; that the federal government should proceed, state by state, school board by school board, and voting registrar by voting registrar. MR, KENNEDY AND THE NEGROES report that the President told his Attorney General, "Get the road maps and go." Golden outlines the remarkable progress that Kennedy and his administration were able to make within a period of only two years and ten months, and he also describes the roles played by others who, with Kennedy, participated in the drama; including Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, his deputy, Burke Marshall, and the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish clergy. It remains that, at the time of his assassination, Kennedy was being subjected to the criticism Of some Negro leaders for not doing enough to further civil rights, and to the criticism o' the entire South for doing too much. It is Golden's opinion that Kenne would have surmounted such criticism — and won reelection though' he would have lout the South, Even had he not succeeded himself,' the Kennedy administration would still have committed the country to the economic and political emancipation of the Negroes within the 1960's. find it extremely difficult to replace these men because of their brilliant all-around play and because their replacements will probably have to come from the inexperienced freshmen players. With only 22 lettermen expected to return and with, about 30 new players Slated to Join the squad, Conch Powell has his work cut-out for him and may find the "crying towel" very useful, come September 26, when the Purple Wolverines launch a rugged nine - name schedule which, "as usual" includes the tough Florida A.&M. University Rattlers. With the "crying towel" out for use, it is hoped that it will accumulate a little dust by not being used as often as expected. This will depend largely on how well Co- Capt. George Moore, the 230 - lb. guard responds to his responsibility as the team leader. It will also depend, on the ability of returning lettermen to fill the shoes left, vacant by grad uating senior. Coach Powell is banking on the several standouts who he feels can be counted, on to go beyond the "cull of duty." This group includes Franklin perry, dependable 240- lb. guard, who has always given a good account of himself,' Eddie Henderson and Eddie Fennell, who have shown that they are good competitors at the Hunks. Then there is William tones, the 200 lb. quarterback, who is expected lo take over the quarterback spot left vacant by the departure, of Sam Hill. Jones has shown that he can do the Job, but tends to get careless or nonchalant at times. This year he is expected to come through and be a great field, general. Of the sophomores returning, Quarterback George Brown and Center Bolton Anderson are expected to give the Wolverines a boost at these positions. All -in- all, it is expected that the purple Wolverines will have a great season, so much so that Coach Powell can pack away the "crying towel" for keeps and become a dynamic contender in the SIAC.
