ON THE REEL

By Rev. Taschereau Arnold
Religious Editor, Atlanta Daily World
It was a very great pleasure
to meet our old worthy friend and
brother to day. He was feeling fine
after many days of being on the
bad side of health. We are always
glad to meet Brother Billie, for
he is a man we dearly love.
Brother Billie is one of these
down to earth fellows you get to
know without the assistance of a
en foot pole. And because he is
like that people just think the
world of him.
If ever he reaches the age when
he cannot do for himself we certainly 
believe that the good people
he has advised over, the years will
have a kind spot in their hearts
for him and that the children of
those he came along with will not
forget the man, who helped shape
the destiny of so many people living 
and dead.
As we always do, we picked an
interesting conversation with him.
He told us, that times are a little
harder than they, have been, stating 
that money is getting tight and
that people are beginning to penny 
the church collection plates to
death against the dollars they used
to give a few months ago just to
hear the preacher call their names
out loud enough for all to hear.
Brother Billie declared that these
self same people are beginning to
stay away from the church and
that when they come they are
giving money in the "small fry"
class. That is they aren't giving

the money like they used to. They
simply are not acting big any more
they are just plain, "what I am now
and not what I pretended to be a
few days ago.
Well, our good friend went on to
say that people ought to stop "putting 
on" and be just what they are.
He said he was sick and tired of
that class of people who do things,
just for a big name when they
don't mean it from the heart just
a big show off of false pride.
Brother Billie intimated that
world could easily get along without 
so many of the good for nothing
folk going around making a big
showing when in truth they owe
everybody in town and are some of
the biggest liars ever known to
mankind.
He went on by saying many of,
these people would really be worthwhile 
if they would just be themselves 
and stop at the right height
of the ladder and not up too high.
In plain, words our good friend
bluntly stated there are entirely, too
many hypocrites in the church today 
for the good of the social order,
and that he was praying that the
day will come once again when
people in our churches, from the
pulpit to the pew will be sincere
in their devotions to God and
their fellowman.
We enjoyed our talk with Brother 
Billie. We look forward to
this fellowship again real soon.
And until then let us try being
ourselves and stop trying to copy
cat somebody else who is able to
buy and sell us. And that's that.

Declares Methodists Will Lead
Way In Hour Of Decision
A fervent
declaration of faith that the Methodist 
Church will "lead the way
in this hour, of decision...as to
whether men shall live as brothers
in a peaceful world," was made
Friday morning by a bishop of the
Methodist Central (Negro) Jurisdiction. 

He is Bishop Edgar A. Love, who
heads the Baltimore, Md, Area of
the Methodist Church's Central
Jurisdiction. Bishop Love spoke
before delegates from nine midwest
states attending the Methodist
North Central jurisdictional Conference 
at Veterans Memorial Auditorium 
here.
Bishop Love, who represented the
Methodist Council of Bishops—all
the bishops of the denominationat 
the conference, declared:
"...This is a small world, shrinking 
every minute. Science has
made it a neighborhood Religion
must make it a brotherhood.
"We must begin to live our faith,
our religion, in the neighborhoods
and communities where we are
in Des Moines where I am told it
is difficult for Negroes to get good
Jobs and good places in which to
live; in Minneapolis; In Cedar Rapids; 
in Sioux City, and in every
village and hamlet.
We must so relate ourselves
that the white men can look at
black men and black men can look
at white men and each see only
men."
Bishop Love contended that racism 
is the "one great issue before.
our world.". He said "If we could,
little this problem of relations between 
races, all other world problems 
would be dissolved."
Bishop Love declared that the
United States should not be Surprised 
at what is taking place in
the world to extend equality among
men because "we have almost brazenly 
extolled the virtues of demoracy—Our. 
Statue of Liberty faces
the world announcing that America

Is the haven for all seeking freedom
and security.
"Democracy in our modern world
exploded as an idea of government
with such tremendous force that
its reverberations are still echoing
around the world in the earth's remotest 
areas."
Bishop Love said Christ's teaching, 
"simple but revolutionary'
embodied the same democratic
ideals. Christ's message was: "God
Is Father of all. All men are brothers...and 
should be received and
treated as such. Jesus put His emphasis 
upon the worth and dignity
of the human personality.
"And so," Bishop Love said, "our
democracy and our religion have
stirred up people everywhere.
I believe that the heart Of Amerca 
is genuinely good I know the
heart of the people called Methodist
is good and right.
"I have been hurt in my church.
And my church also has healed
those hurts and made me whole
again."
Bishop Love declared, "I believe
In my church. I believe that the
Methodist Church in it's role as a
savior and with its passion for
righteous, will lead the way in
this hour of decision which is now
upon us as to whether men shall
live as brothers in a peaceful world.
"There will be no peace until all
men accept each other as brothers.
It is a dangerous thing to live in
a neighborhood that is not a brotherhood. 
If we don't make the neighborhood, 
we will perish."

Medic Absolved
In Death Case
The phyician
or an attractive 32-year-old divorcee 
who died while undergoing
electrical shock for a nervous disorder 
was absolved Friday of any
"wrongdoing or malpractice."
Dr. Kermit Gates, director of
Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital,
where the woman died, said "everything 
possible" was done for the
patient. The name of the attending 
physician was not disclosed.
The woman, Mrs. Joyce Glueck
Roseberg, daughter of Harvard
criminologist Sheldon Glueck, was
said to have been in apparent good

physical health prior to the treatment. 

Assistant Dade (Miami) County
Medical Examiner Dr. Joseph H.
Davis performed an autopsy but
said he found no physical damage
or evidence that, the woman had
been electrocuted.
The cause of death was listed
as asphyxia following electroconvulsive 
therapy.
Dr. Gates roughly, defined asphyxia 
as a breakdown in the exchange 
of oxygen, between the
lungs and bloodstream.

Youngster Has
50-50 Chance
For Surviving
"I had
an ole cancer in my eye, didn't I?
Well, how am I going to see?"
Four-year-old Mike Sibole turned 
his face instinctively upward
to his father, whom he can no
longer see.
"You'll be able to feel things with
your finger's," replied the Rev.
James M. Sibole, trying to keep
from his, voice any hint of the
tears in his own eyes.
For the first time, the Orlando
minister explained Friday to Mike
Why he had to have the operation
which removed a malgnant growth
at the expense of the child's eyesight. 

Not nearly so easy was the father's 
attempt to explain what loss
of sight will mean to Mike from
here on.
Trustingly, Mike accepted his
father's words and, child-like, turned 
his attention quickly to other
things. After all, he was home this
morning for the first time after
the operation was performed Wednesday. 

"I want to play with Jerry in the
wading pool," he announced, refering, 
to his 20-month-old brother.
His parents persuaded him, however, 
to spend this first day at
home in his own room, getting, reacquainted 
with his familar toys,
by "seeing" them with his fingers.
Mike, who has not cried yet, lost
his first eye two years ago for the
same reason.
Removal of the child's eye was a
gamble at saving his life from the
cancer. Doctors say he still stands
only a 50-50 chance of surviving.

Attorney Will
Seek Indictments
Prosecuting 
Attorney George Coutrakon
asserted Friday he will seek "a
lot" of indictments from the grand
jury probing the $800,000 checkcashing 
scandal in the office, of former 
Illinois, State Auditor Orville
Hodge.
Coutrakon emerged from a second
session of grilling Hodge, who resigned 
under fire this week, on
questionable state warrants cashed
at a Chicago bank and said four
more such checks had been discovered. 

The four-hour session with Hodges 
began at 10 a. m. in the Sangamon 
county courthouse in Springfield. 

State's Attorney Coutrakon said
he will present indictments to the
grand jury Monday–and expects
the jury to return them the same
day, or "the first of the week."
The four additional Warrants, he
said, total some $100,000. Coutrakon 
said two were made out to the
Fabricraft Sale's and Service Company 
of Chicago and two in the
name of "Elmer Bretz."
Bretz, a Springfield building contractor, 
has told investigators that
checks for work he did for the
state have turned up bearing
amounts twice that due him.
Bretz claimed, however, that he
never received more than the proper 
amount. The remainder of the
money presumably was pocketed by
someone else.

Auto Crashes Third
Floor Wall Of Loop
Parking Garage
An auto crashed 
through, a third floor wall of a
loop parking garage in Chicago
Friday and plummeted into the
street, killing one man and injuring
four others.
Police said a Cadillac car being
marked by aih Hudson, 23, an employe 
of the garage (a 58 F. Randolph 
St.), went through the wall
after the gas pedal . The
car hit the street and bounced on
top of passing station wagon.
It fatally crushed Ha Wolf,
46, of (141 Tilden) Michigan City,
Ind. a pedestrian.
Three other pedestrians were injured 
slightly by the shower of
bricks and rubble that cascaded into 
the street.
They were Mrs. Mary Bloomquist,
47; Mary Boyer, 56, who were taken 
to Wesley Memorial Hospital;
Parllel Jordan about 40, of (208 W.
Sycamore St.) Sycamore, Ill., taken
to St. Luko's Hospital.
The driver of the station wagon,
Harvey Steinberg, 18, a leather
goods company driver, leaped out of
the left side of his car, escaping
with only cuts and bruises.
Hudson, the ill-fated car's jockey, 
also miraculous escaped with
only cuts and bruises.

Simpson Regains Batting
Eye By Wearing Glasses
Of the 17 players acquired by
Kansas City Athletics since the franchise was transferred here
from Philadelphia for the 1955 season, the standout has been
Harry (Suit Case) Simpson, who made a comeback last season
after two years in the minors.
The Athletics grabbed him as a
Cleveland Indians' discard last
year. Simpson rewarded his benefactors 
with a 301 batting average
and 52 runs batted in after a slow
start.
Given a reprieve, the 30-year-old
Simpson was determined to make
good. He started wearing glasses
and apparently regained his batting
eye after a dismal start at Kansas
City.
"I was the worst hitter in baseball 
my first month with the club,"
he explained this year.
"But Lou (Manager Lou Boudreau) 
went along with me, patting
me on the back and telling me to
stay in there. I felt all along that
I could hit better than .150, but if
Lou hadn't been patient with me
and left me in the lineup, I might
have been a has-been at 30.
"So in 115 games I finished with

a .301 average and drove in 52
runs. And I can do better now because 
I'm wearing these (he pointed 
to his glasses)."
Simpson said he wasn't going to
let Boudreau down. His performance 
this season seemed to back up
his vow. He has been doing marvelously, 
playing either center, or
right field and filled in for a spell
at first base when Vic Power was
injured. Harry's batting average
has ranged between .280 and .310,
but he has proved one of the most
timely hitters in the AL. His RBI
total at the All-Star game break
was 61, putting him among the
leaders in that department.
For a man who had once lost
much of his confidence, Simpson
has rebounded remarkably. He is
proving himself quite a ball player
this season. Not nearly the great
one that so many predicted, but a
good one anyway.

Wisconsin To Cancel
Grid Games With LSU
The recently enacted; pro-segregation 
bill banning interracial mixing in athletic events in Louisiana 
is already causing serious financial repercussions to Louisiana
State university.
LSU officials and the, southern
solons who rushed the bill through,
the Louisiana state legislature
learned last week that the Jaw will
hurt the school financially both in
the annual Sugar Bowl festival and
above the Mason-Dixon line.
The University of Wisconsin announced 
here that it would cancel
its contract for games with LSU
and at Baton-Rouge because of the
ban. The two schools have scheduled 
home-and-home football games
at Madlson Oct. 5, 1957, and at
Baton Rouge, Oct. 4; 1958.
Wisconsin officials made it clear
that under the circumstances the
university "...would be unable to
play Louisiana Stated University
either here or there (Baton
Rouge)." They called the ban unfair 
and said it would interfere
with Wisconsin policy of complete
freedom. in selecting its teams.
Commenting on the situation,
Athletic Director Ivy Williamson
and the athletic board said:
"We have not seen the text of
the legislation, but noted press reports 
indicated the Louisiana law
would have that effect.
"If this assumption is correct
the University of Wisconsin would

be unable to play Louslana State
University either here or there,
We have always entered into a contract 
for athletic contestss with
another institution on the basis
that each school would have complete 
freedom to select its team
members in accordance with the
rules and policies of the Institution
and the conference of which it is a
member.
"We would be compelled to view
any action that interfers with this
traditional basic policy of selection
as tantamount (equal) to forcing
termination of the contract."
Last week as the bill laid on Gov,
Earl Long's desk, two southern organizations 
appealed to the governor 
to veto it, because it would
hamper their operation. However
the governor signed it into Law
claiming that a poll of public opinion 
favored the bill.
The Midwinter Sports Association
protested, that the bill would seriously 
handicap it in lining up top
attractions for the sugar Bowl
Classic. The association sponsors
the annual event.
The Texas league said the bill
probably would knock Shreveport
out of the league.

appealed to the governor 
to veto it, because it would
hamper their operation. However
the governor signed it into Law
claiming that a poll of public opinion 
favored the bill.
The Midwinter Sports Association
protested, that the bill would seriously 
handicap it in lining up top
attractions for the sugar Bowl
Classic. The association sponsors
the annual event.
The Texas league said the bill
probably would knock Shreveport
out of the league.

Program For Training
Called For People
A program for
"organized systematic and sympathetic 
industrial training" of working 
people who are the, victims of
discrimination was called for today
in a communication to Charles Abrams, 
chairman of the state commission 
Against, Discrimination by
Ernest Thompson, national secretary 
of the Fair Practices Commit_
tee of the United Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers of America
(UE), an Independent union.
"I am submitting for your consideration," 
Mr. Thompson stated,
a set of proposals on apprenticeship 
and related training for a
group including women as well as
Negro and Spanish-speaking
workers.
"I suggest that in the near future 
the State Commission Against
Discrimination convene a working
meeting of specialized community
organizations, schools and trade
unions to give full airing to this
serious problem."
The proposals submitted on apprenticeship 
and related training
consists of three parts.
"1. A plan to get minority workers 
included among the 70,000 who
enter apprenticeship training programs 
each year under the New
York State Apprenticeship Training
Program and the Federal Apprenticeship 
Training Program.
"In each community where Councils 
exist, the Councils should know
what factories, crafts and trade
unions are involved. Once this information 
is in the hands of the
committee, meetings should be held
with the people involved to guarantee 
placement of minority Workers.
Another, or the same, Council subcommittee 
should have the task of
selecting and encouraging minority
candidates. The Commiteee would,
of course, police the progress and
fight through the problems.
"This Council training effort
should include full knowledge of
what kind of industrial training,
the minority students are receiving
based on the industrial and craftneeds 
of the community.
"2. A useful training plan in upgrading 
and exercising seniority
and searching for new jobs by women 
and minority workers, is the
specialized short evening, training
courses worked out with the Board
of Education. For example, our
union, United Electrical, Radio and
Machine Workers, worked out a
number of these courses in New
York City, Chicago, Detroit. Louisville, 
Dayton and in other cities.
They ran from 30 to 90 days. Generally, 
they include blue-print reading, 
instrument reading, shop math
and some basic machines. In Louisville, 
400 to 500 Negro workers were
trained based on the specific needs
of a given plant where a fight was
being made to win jobs for Negro
workers.
"3. That, the Governor of New

York State be asked to assign a
specialist to oversee the apprenticeship 
training operation, The
task of such an appointee would
be to see that the state apprenticeship 
machinery gifts full and necessary 
cooperation and assistance
and that it makes a serious effort
to help guarantee that Negro and
other minority, youth get into the
apprenticeship training programs
organized by the State. Said appointee 
would also maintain liaison
with SCAD."
