A C Jet for Jamaica from which
she has been absent some four years
while studying in America and
England with a speciality in international 
law, on the masters level.

TUNISIA, MOROCCA
PROMOTE LAND REFORM
Morocco and Tunisia are both promoting 
what has been described as
cautious agrarian reform programs
designed to modernize agriculture
without despoiling French landowners, 
whose properties are generally 
the most productive ones.
Meanwhile, Algeria, unlike its North
African neighbor states, has adopted 
a restively rapid and radical
agrarian reform program which
most observers believe stems largely 
from the violent nature and
the length of Algeria's eight-year
war of independence with France.

Sunday School Lesson

— (John 10:17)

In our lesson today our purpose
is to consider the Crucifixion and
learn its meaning for us.
The events surrounding the Crucifixion 
are among me must familiar 
in the gospel. Through these
events a profound truth is projected, 
A truth that needs to be restated. 
The cross is the climax of
God's redemptive activity as expressed 
in the earthly life of Jesus
Christ. This statement is made often, 
but what does it really mean?
How does the cross mean salvation? 

First, a brief review is in order:
Juds had come with Jesus and
the other disciples to Jerusalem to
celebrate the Passover, which was
a feast celebrating the leading of
the Jews from captivity to freedom
This, then was a logical time for a
military leader to attract support.
But Jesus made no attempt to pursue 
such a course. Instead, he maintained 
that he must suffer and die.
Judas, who, like the other disciples
and most of the Jews, believed that
Jesus was a military Messiah approaching 
Jerusalem to muster
forces, was disillusioned, and came
to the conclusion that he had been
following the wrong leader. He
therefore, since Jesus would not
"save" the Jews betrayed him to
the chief priests. This, in Judas'
view, was not a sin, but loyalty, to

God. He was fighting for his country 
— God's chosen country. He
was a zealous Jew. And so the tragic 
events of Biblical history, of
the history of the trials and tribulations 
of Christianity, took their
course — the Last Supper in the
upper room, the journey to the
Mount of Olives the pilgrimage of
Jesus, Peter, James and John to the
Garden Of Gethsemane, and Jess'
communon with God, rapidly followed 
by trial and Crucifixion.
And from this badge of everlasting 
shame came the cross and its
lesson for humanity. From the
standpoint or this struggle between
God and evil, the cross is the symbol 
of evil's attempt to defeat God's
purposes. And God allowed his Son
to take the full impact of the
thrust of evil. Jesus was tortured,
then killed. But the cross is also a
sign of God's victory, for it is one
part of the Easter message. Through
the cross came resurrection: Christ
is the victor over the powers of
destruction and sin.
The cross is the supreme example 
of the identification of God
with man. Man does not go through
any valley alone, not the valley of
suffering or death, and not the valley, 
of spiirtual death or estrangement. 
Thus the cross represents
God's complete outreach toward
man. The Crucifixion, therefore,
does not simply mean the identification 
of God with man, but an
effort to lead man to an identification 
with God. God has broken
the power of evil, and the cross
comes as a judgment upon man.
In the cross man sees the depth of
his sin. In the cross we see the
true position of the human race before 
God, for the cross brings us
face to face with God's gracious
love and man's antagonism. This
is what makes sin so terrible. Sin
is a violation of love.
But, on the other side of the
coin, the cross means life. God
identifies with man. God accepts
the full impact of sin, and overcomes 
it, To describe God's action
of recreating the positive relation
between man and himself, the
church, has used many terms, such
as ransom, reconciliation, atonement

sacrifice, and substitution. All these
words attempt, to describe the act
that makes man whole again. The
work of reconciliation of atonement
is that of bringing two parties back
together, it is the effort to make
two separate beings at one with one
another. The cross shows God's
concern for man, and how far he
will extend his grace to reach man.
We should always be clear in our
minds that redemption accomplished 
through the cross is the work
of God. This work is done because
of our plight, which God does not
want to accept as final for us. And
it is a work done because of God's
grace, his unearned love for us.
To summarize, in the cross we
see both judgment and redemption.
In the cross we see an expression
of our own hostility to God, and
we see God's defeat of sin. In the
cross we see the central expression
of God's love, his strong concern
for us, and how far he will go to
reclaim us for our true destiny. We
are invited to participate in, the
chief moments of Christ's life,
death, and Resurrection— through
the cross. We ate to be crucified
with Christ (die to our old way and
our inordinate self - interest), and
we are to he resurrected with
Christ (become alive to God and
to the possibilities of life in him).
The cross is, indeed, our redemption 
and salvation. Let us use it to
good purpose.

'Beat Government'
Tax Scheme Could
Prove Expensive
Another
"how to beat the government"
scheme has tossed into the trash
basket last week after a federal
grand jury last week indicted the
"Phantom Taxpayer."
"The Phantom," also legally
known as Needom Ira Duren, 38,
was accused of defrauding the federal 
government of $4,336.79, which
he allegedly amassed by filing 14
bogus income tax returns under aliases, 
for the year, 1961.
Tasting success in his scheme,
the phantom allegedly filed an additional 
73 phony tax forms, all
requiring refunds for 1962, in all a
total of 86 refund requests.
An alert clerk in the Internal
Revenue Service noticed the amount
of checks earmarked for the same
address and reported the oddity to
her supervisor.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Raymond 
G. Berg, who has been assigned 
to the case, noted that Duren
"used many aliases, but always used 
his own home address."
Of the entire 86 counts facing
the "Phantom," he used his own
name 45 times, Berg noted. "However," 
the attorney added, "he used
aliases such as, Copeland, Scots,
Johnson, Sanders, Smith, Mitchell,
Hill and Phillips."
Duren also used other aliases
which contained tongue - in -check
innuendoes. They were G. Ghosten,
D. Ghosten, and the surnames, Holiday 
and Banks.
However, Attorney Berg explained, 
"He will probably get six months
or so in jail, and be compelled to
make restitution.

Atttorney To Run
For La. Governor
Pledging himself to a platform that
calls for abolishing all segregation
laws, Negro attorney Earl J. Amedee, 
in a surprise, move, last week,
announced that he will run for
Governor of Louisiana in the December 
Democratic primary election. 

Amedee, a "political dreamer"
who thinks the presidency of the
United States is not beyond the
reach of a Negro, said he made the
decision to run for governor after
canvassing Negro and white citizens 
throughout the state over a
two- year period.
He said he also has surveyed the
field of prospective white candidates 
and found none of them who
are ready "to lead Louisiana out
of the hades of prejudice and segregation 
into the promised land of
economic security, racial tolerance
charity, love and new frontiersism." 

Amedee said he has as much academic 
training and background "as
any of we white candidates, for
governor," and has more experience
than most.

Africa Won't Go Communist,
Daily News Writer Declares

Smith Hempstone, correspondent
for the Daily News usually stationed 
in Nairobi, Kenya, told a contemproary 
forum on African affairs
and another Chicago group that
while Africa will not unite with
Eastern bloc nations, it won't be
made over in the Western image,
either.
Hempstone, addressed a recent
forum entitled "The United States
and Africa — A Two - Way Mirror," 
at Chicago Teachers College—
North and the Publicity Club of
Chicago in the Sheraton. Chicago
hotel. His remarks, like many of
his interpretive articles filed from
Africa, were in some ways critical
of African development.
As an example, he said that African 
society is not developing
along Western lines because "the
African politician has little respect
for our concept of freedom." Some
observers, both Negro and white,
took issue with this and similar
views.
There was, however, general
agreement with Hempstone's appraisal 
of the African position in
the cold war. He said African states
welcome Communist aid, but he
added: "The African is not a fool.

He has not won his freedom to
yield it so soon to international
dictatorship. We have nothing to
fear from a confrntation with the
Soviet bloc in Africa." The correspondent 
said African nations do not
want to become involved in the
cold war between East and West,

sides.
On the subject of nationalism as
opposed to tribalism, Hempstone
said the people of Africa are beginning 
to identify with their country
rather than with their tripe, giving
way to a strong nationalism movement. 

Hempstone and Peter Lisagor,
chief of the Daily News Washington 
bureau, both warned that
American discrimination against
Negroes can harm diplomatic relations 
with the newly - emerging
colored nations.
Lisagor, who addressed the closing 
session, said the struggle for
freedom - whether In Accra, Ghana 
or at Oxford, Mississippi —never
ends. "It is a continuous effort,"
he emphasized. He illustrated his
point with a report from the AfroAmerican 
newspaper which, he said,
summed up the subject in this manner: 
With freedom comes income
taxes.



Smith Hempstone, correspondent
for the Daily News usually stationed 
in Nairobi, Kenya, told a contemproary 
forum on African affairs
and another Chicago group that
while Africa will not unite with
Eastern bloc nations, it won't be
made over in the Western image,
either.
Hempstone, addressed a recent
forum entitled "The United States
and Africa — A Two - Way Mirror," 
at Chicago Teachers College—
North and the Publicity Club of
Chicago in the Sheraton. Chicago
hotel. His remarks, like many of
his interpretive articles filed from
Africa, were in some ways critical
of African development.
As an example, he said that African 
society is not developing
along Western lines because "the
African politician has little respect
for our concept of freedom." Some
observers, both Negro and white,
took issue with this and similar
views.
There was, however, general
agreement with Hempstone's appraisal 
of the African position in
the cold war. He said African states
welcome Communist aid, but he
added: "The African is not a fool.

He has not won his freedom to
yield it so soon to international
dictatorship. We have nothing to
fear from a confrntation with the
Soviet bloc in Africa." The correspondent 
said African nations do not
want to become involved in the
cold war between East and West,
while obtaining help from both
sides.

Protection For Miss.
Negro Voters Asked
The
NAACP has called upon President
Kennedy to provide federal protection 
for Negro citizens here "seeking 
to bear the responsibilities of
citizenship . . . even if it means
stationing a marshal on every
street corner in Greenwood and
at every crossroad in LeFlore
County."
An overflow crowd of 600 persons 
packed the Turner Chapel
AME Church with an equal number 
listening to loudspeakers outside 
the church on Monday night,
March 25, as Dr, John A. Morsell,
assistant to the NAACP executive
secretary, demanded Congressional
legislation which would provide
federal reimbursement for every
citizen "who suffers damage to his
person or his property because of
reprisals resulting from attempts
to exercise his civil rights."
The mass rally sparked tremendous 
enthusiasm and determination 
among Greenwood and LeFlore 
County Negroes who resolved
to continue their demonstrations.
Greenwood is the headquarters for
the Mississippi White Councils and
reprisals against Negroes seeking
their rights have been increasingly
severe in recent weeks.
Two days after Dr. Morsell's challenging 
address, on March 27, a
group of nearly 200 Negro citizens
converged on the county courthouse 
here to line up for registration. 
Police broke up the procession
with a show of force and a trained
dog. At least one person was bitten
by the dog and the clothing of
another was ripped. Eleven persons
were arrested. To prevent a further
demonstration, authorities threw a
cordon of police around the court,
house.

Three Health Groups Recommend
$10, Million For VD Control

The three organizations pointed
out that there were 20,084 reported
cases of infectious syphilis in 1962,
epresenting a record high for the
past twelve years, and that reported
infectious syphilis has increased
448 percent over the past five years.
Gonorrhea has also increased significantly 
over the past five years
and in 1962 there were 260,468 reported 
cases.
The ten million dollar recommendation 
was made by the American
Social Health Association, the
American venereal Disease Association 
and the Association of State
and Territorial Health Officers in
their Tenth Annual Joint Statement 
on Today's VD Control Prob
lem, 
released today.
For the last fiscal year, federal
appropriation for VD control work
totaled eight million dollars. The
three groups believe that an increase 
of two million dollars over
this amount is necessary to continue 
the expansion of the VD control 
program, particularly in the
light of the continued rise in reported 
cases of infectious syphilis.
Early data for fiscal year 1963 indicate 
that there were 11,254 reported 
cases of infectious syphilis
during the first six months and
that the 1963 total of infectious
syphilis cases will eclipse the 1962
record by several thousand cases.

Housing Bias Law
Faces Berkeley
Henry Poppic, a lawyer, waited for
the voices to die down, took a
deep breath and began talking to
fellow members of the citizens committee 
to study discrimination in
housing in Berkeley.
Chairman Poppic's colleagues were
three realtors, two other lawyers,
two industrialists, a couple of housewives, 
a merchant, a bookkeeper, a
credit union employe, an insurance
broker, a physician, a printer, a
physicist and a researcher in sociology. 

Their responsibility, Popic told
them at the committee's first meeting, 
was a heavy one.
"I really preached to them," Poppic 
recalled later.
Poppic's preaching struck a prophetic 
note.
As a result of the committee's
work and subsequent recommendations, 
a decision faces the citizens
of Berkeley on Tuesday.
That's election day in Berkeley
and on the ballot, along with choices 
for mayor, city councilmen and
other civic posts, is ordinance number 
3915-N. S.
Ordinance 3915-N.S. proposed to
end religious and racial discrimination 
in housing within Berkeley
A jail term, a fine or both faceviolators. 

Signs already are apparent that
such a law would receive quite a
workout.

Heroes Of
Emancipation

Benjamin Banneker was born in
Maryland in 1730, the grandson of
an English - woman and an African. 
His grandmother, Molly Welsh,
came to America as an indentured
servant worked her time out and
bought a farm and two slaves. She
freed the slaves and married one o
them. Banneker's mother, Mary
was one of four children born to
this union. His father was an African. 

As a student at a county school
in Maryland, young Banneker was
given access to the large library of
one George Ellicott. He master 
Latin and Greek and had a good
working knowledge of German and
French. He became one of the most
noted astronomers and mathematicians 
of his time. He was the first
American to make a clock. Front
1792-95 he published one of the first
series of almanacs brought out in
the United States. This publication
was very much like POOR RICH
ARD'S ALMANAC, published by
Benjamin Franklin.
Banneker became so proficient
and well known for his abilities
that he was appointed to the commission 
which surveyed and laid
out Washington, D. C. the new,
capital of the young Republic.
He boldly lashed out at the in
justices of the age. His famous let
ter of 1791 to Thomas Jefferson reminded 
the author of the Declarelion 
of Independence that word
were one thing and slavery another
"Suffer me to recall to your mind
that time, in which the arms of
the British crown were exerted w
every powerful effort, in order
reduce you to a state of servitude
look back, I entreat you ..... you
were then impressed with proper
ideas of the great violation of liberty 
.... how pitiable it is to refleet 
that you should, at the same
time counteract his (the Father of
Mankind), mercies, in detaining b
fraud and violence, so numerous
part of my bretheren under groaning 
captivity and cruel oppression
that you should at the same time
be found guilty of that most criminal 
act, which you professedly detested 
in others."
Banneker passionately defender
the rights of his people. He could
hold himself up as a living example
refuting the popularly touted theory 
that Negroes were inferior the
Whites in both body and mind.
Banneker's achievements made
him so prominent that he was
sought and received by some of the
most famous and important men 
the United States. Among these
were James McHenry, once Vice
President, and Thomas Jefferson
President of the United States. 
was Jefferson who appointed Banh
neker to the commission which
surveyed and laid out Washington.
The case of Benjamin Banneker
caused Jefferson to conclude that
he was wrong in believing that
"blacks .... are inferior to the
whites.." He corresponded with
Banneker regularly and wrote about
him enthusiastically to the Marqude 
Condorcet. "Perhaps," JeJferso
