Blood Donors
Legion Solicits
The
American Legion and its Auxiliary
join with the American Red Cross
recently in launching an intensive
nationwide drive to increase sharoly 
the supplies of blood for the
holiday season.
All pots of the Lesion, units of
the Auxiliary and Red Cross chapters 
which participate in that organization's 
Blood Progra mwill cooperate 
in an endeavor to keep
blood in plentiful supply for normal
hospital uses and for holiday
emergencies. The drive will continue 
through Jan. 8.
Declared William E. Galbraith,
national commander of the Legion,
and General James F. Collins, ARC
president, in a joint statement.
"The Legion and the Red Cross
have always regarded the giving of
blood as a civic responsibility.
Since World War II thousands
of Legion pot and Auxiliary units
have cooperated with Red Cross
chapters in conducting active Word
donor programs across the country. 

"New these nationwide organizations 
will sponsor a special Holi
day 
Blood Donor drive from Dec.
4 through January 8. This is a
critical time of the year when the
need for blood increases and the
number of blood donors drops far
below the monthly average. It is
also the period which includes Dec
7, the date on which, 26 years ago.
hundreds of gallant men lost their
lives in the attack on Pearl Harbor. 
A gift of blood in memory
of these men and their host of
comrades who have fallen in the
nation's wars would be a ting
tribute to their sacrifice.
"Every American is urged to donate 
blood in the holiday season
either through the Red Cross of
through hospital and community
blood banks, where no Red Cross
center operates."
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1967. A total of 2,979.00 units of
blood — about half the total national 
supply — was donated by the
American people through 55 regional 
blood enters of the Red
Cross. Last July 1, the first day
of the new fiscal year, a 56th blood
center was opened by the Red Cross
in Albany, N. Y.

Biracial Jury Frees Klansman
In Mississippi Murder Trial
A
biracial jury Saturday freed an
alleged Ku Klux Klansman charged
with killing an elderly negro in
un attempt to lure Dr. Martin Luther 
King here for an assassination 
attempt.
The jury of nine white and three
Negro men took two hours and
23 minutes to reach the verdict in
the murder trail of Ernest Avantswho 
once told FBI agents he was
not guilty because the victim already 
was dead when he shot him
Avants was one of three men
charged in the June 10, 1736 shotgun 
and rifle slaying of Ben Chester 
White.
Avants wife cried softly and
shook each juror's hand and her
husband was gugged and surrounded 
by tearful relatives when the
verdict was read.
A co-defendant, Claude Fuller
left the courtroom with tears in
his eyes. Fuller has not yet been
tried in the case.
The third defendant. James L
Jones, is scheduled to be tried for
The second time next Spring. His

first tr earlier this year ended
in a hung jury.
"I don't guess I've ever felt better 
in my life and had less," the
37-year-old Avants said. His attorney, 
Travis Buckley, said the
verdict was consistent with the
facts and law" and praised the
jury.
The state had maintained that
Jenes drove the car and that Fuller 
and Avants did the shooting
when the 655 year old Negro was
killed.
Circuit Court Judge James Torrey 
turned the case over to the
jury after rejection a motion for
a directed verdict of acquittal from
the defense, which rested its case
earlier Saturday without calling
a witness.
The stat's case hinged on testimory 
of two FBI agents who said
Avants tod them that "a fellow
by the name of Fuller" killed
White and that he Avants wasn't

guilty because "all he did was fire
into a corpse."
"The is not justice this is no
sution, this is persecution
Buckley argued.
District Attorney Lennox Fore
man called the slaying "one 
the most vicious and atrocious
crimes of murder" ever committed
in the county.
He said "this case is based on
testimony that fell from the line
of this defendant himself."
FBI agents Robert F. Royle 
Memphis and Alan Kornblum 
Gulfport. Miss., testified Erida
that Avants told them "a fello
by the name of Fuller" shot an
killed Ben Chester White with a
barrage of rifle shots before Avant
opened fire with a shotgun.
They quoted Avants as saying he
expected to be acquitted because
he merely blew off the top of the
head of a corse.
No trail date had been set for
fuller but a trial for Jones ended
last spring with a hung jury. Officers 
rectified at Jones trial that
he told them in one of several
statements White was killed 
ure King into this river city for
An assassination.

CENTENNIAL SCRAPBOOK:

80-C
"President Grant's son Jesse always
remembered the 'many contented
hours' he spent at the brick stable," Lonrielle 
Aikman recalls in a colorful pictorial
history. The Living White House (pub. by
National Graphic Society with introduction
by Bruce Catton). Then were quarters for
carriage pairs, Presidential saddle horses,
and mounts for couriers between the Executive 
and the Capitol or Government offices.
The structure was completed in 1867 to replace 
an outworn and inadequate frame
structure.
Besides horses, the stable housed two ponies, 
"Reb" (a capture at Vicksburg), and
"Billy Button." These were the attractions

for Jesse, the youngest Grant son, after his
father's inauguration in 1869. Jesse was only
eleven then, while, his briers Frederick
and Ulysses were "grown-ups" of nineteenand 
seventeen. Father Grant secured a lightwagon 
for Jesse and his sister Ellen, aged
fourteen, to be carried about, attended by an
Army sergeant and a Grant pet dog.
Jesse's contented hours at this stable ended
before the two-term Grant Presidency was
over; it was razed to provide space for executive 
offices. Horses and ponies were relegated 
to less picturesque accommodations.
The Grant youngsters were not the last to
have the latter. Archie Roosevelt (Son of
T. R.) was so attached to a pony that it was
smuggled into his
sickbed in an upstairs
room of the White
House by a devoted
brother.

Church-State Interaction
Instead Of Separation Urged

"The true natural relations between 
churches and governments
in our time is not their SEPARATION, 
but their INTERACTION
and CORRELATION. "TOGETHER 
magazine quotes from recommedations 
prepared by a special
study commission for submission
to the 1968 uniting General Conference 
of The Methodist and
Evangelical United Brethren
Churches.
"The "Wall' separating church
and has become indistinct as a
result of the War on Poverty, federal 
help for students, grants to
colleges. U. S. cash for hospitals,
and housing programs, it is brought 
out in the January TOGETHER. 

A 26 - member commission has
drawn Up six major points which
it will recommend be adopted at
the historic church conference in
Dallas next April 21 - May 4.
The concept of religious liberty
is broadened vastly according to
the analysis. INTERACTION —
WITH, INDEPENDENCE. For example 
it includes not only right
of all persons "to choose to believe 
in God for themselves," but
also the "freedom to doubt and
deny Him" — 'to be an agnostic,
a non - theist, an atheist, or even
an anti -1 theist"!
New strong teeth would be put
into the principle of refusal to
bear arms. Deferments from military 
service would be based on factors 
"other than religious training 
and belief in a Supreme Being
as well as "objection to all war or
to a particular war on grounds of
conscience rooted in religion
faith or commitment."
Probably one of the most starling 
changes in Protestant attitued
is a proposal for federal financial
assistance to parochial schools. On
the premise that "parents have a
right to choose, nonpublic schools
for their children," it is suggested 
that provision for adequate education 
of all youth may require
governmental, support of "special
purgrams" — but not for support
of religious 'dogmas or practices.
Also, While adhering to the
Supreme Court decision outlawing
worship as part of a public school
program, the commission urges the
Study "of religious ideas and
ideals, and ideals, values and institutions, 
and religious organizations 
and movements" in public
schools!
The six "propositional stateMerit" 
for clarifying the "twilight
zone" in church - state relations
are:
1. Approval of selective consicientious 
objection to military service. 

2. Support for Supreme Court
decisions forbidding worship services 
as part of a public School
program.
Encouragement of the study
of religious ideas values, and institutions 
in public schools on a

nonsectarian basis.
4. Approval of use of government 
resources by church - related 
schools and social - welfare
agencies, only under carefully prescribed 
conditions.
5. A call for discontinuance of
certain tax advantages granted to
churches and clergymen.
6. Vigorus support of the obligation 
of churches to speak and
act on social and political meters,
including their right to seek to
influence legislation.
These points will not become official 
policy unless they are adopted 
to the Dallas General Conference 
this coming spring at
which The Methodist and FUB
bodies will be merged into The
United Methodist church.
If the proposals are adopted,
they will speak "both FOR and
TO" members of the new church,
it is emphasized by Dr. Joseph H.
Albrecht of Springfield, I., Study
commission chairman.
The propositional statements
also represent the thinking of a
number of individuals and consultants 
outside the commission.
It is recommended that church
related hospitals, homes for the
aged, and community centers be
eligible for receiving federal funds,
although the grants should be
made only to institutions open to
all persons without regard to race
color, national orgin, creed or political 
persuasion, and that the
institutions should not serve sectarian 
purposes. At the same time
it is urged that acceptance of such
funds not hamper an agency's
"right to criticize government policy 
- interest magazine for families 
that goes into almost three quarters 
of a million homes monthly, 
churches are obligated "to
challenge violations of civil rights
of the poor."
Church - related Colleges and
universities should receive government 
support "only under specific 
conditions." It Is recommended.
These provisions would include
guarantee of academic freedom.
Another major proposal is that
churches be taxed on business income, 
and that that churches coluntarily 
make contribute for
essential public services for which
they do not pay property taxes.
Furthermore, there should be no
special privileges for, nor discrimination 
against, clergymen.
Not only is it stated that
churches "have the right and the
duty to speak and act corporately"
on matters of public policy involving 
'moral and ethical issues,' but
the various denominational general 
boards, commissions and agencies 
"should continue to exercise 
the right to advocate government 
polices which they regard as
essential to the attainment of the
goats of a responsible society," but
should make clear in whose name
they speak or act.
