Johnson Seeks Curb
On Sale Of Firearms

Congress, he also proposed a firstyear. 
$50 million program of federal 
grants to states and cities for
planning, research and pilot projects 
to improve police, the courts
and correctional systems.
Johnson's recommendations, based 
largely on an 18-month study
by the National Crime Commission,
will be contained in a proposed
"Safe Street and Crime Control
Act" that also called for an intensified 
attack on drug addiction and
organized crime.
The President presided a sharp
increase in Juvenile delinquency
in the next decade and promised to
submit separate proposals to Congress 
designed to "reach young
people trapped in poverty" as a
breeding ground of crime.
"Crime-and the fare of crime-has
become a public malady," Johnson
said. More than 400,000 persons are
confined on any one day in correctional 
institutions, the cost of
operating correctional, services is
$1 billion a year and property losses 
from crime total nearly $3 billion 
a year, he said.
A key part of the president's
crime package was his call for passage 
of a firearms control bill, which
has been stalled in Congress for
four years.
"Further delay is unconscionable," 
Johnson said. He urged that
Congress:
—Prohibit mail order sales and
shipments of firearm except bentween 
federally licensed manufacturers, 
importers or dealers.
—Prohibit sale of hand guns to
any person under 21 years of age
and of rifles and shotgun counter
sales of firearms other than rifles
and shotguns would be prohibited
to anyone not residing in the state
where the licensee does business.
—Curb imports of surplus military 
and other firearms "not suitable 
for sporting purposes."
John on said this legislation
would not curtail ownership of
firearms for sport or self protection 
and would be no panacea for
violence but would "help to keep
lethal weapons out of the wrong
hands," especially hand guns.
On the exeplosive issue of wiretapping 
and bugging, the President 
proposed to "outlaw all wire
tapping 
public and private, whereever 
and whenever it occurs, as
well as all willful invasions of privacy 
by electronic devices such as
radio transmitters and concealed
microphones."
The only exceptions to wiretapping 
or bugging would be in
cases of national security-officials
said—this would be defined as instances 
of a foreign threat such as
espionage-and then only with the
approval of the Attorney General.
Present law, unchanged since
1935, (prohibits interception and
disclosure of information obtained
by wiretapping. The administration
proposes to make interception alone
even without divulging the information-a 
crime punishable by five
years' imprisonment and a $10,000 
fine.

PUBLIC MALADY

NAACP Defends High Scores
Of Negroes In Union Test
The high scores
earned by 26. Negroes on their
entrance examination for Local 28,
of the Sheet Metal. Workers International 
Association are being de
fended 
by the NAACP and further
supported by a statement submitted 
by Dr. Kenneth B. Clark.
NAACP General Counsel Robert
L. Carter submitted a brief amicus
curiae together with Dr. Clark's
affidavit to the Supreme Court of
the State of New York, Jan. 16, in
the case against Local Union 28.
These moves follow the union's
proposal to invalidate the ap prenticeship 
tests taken by 147
young men, Nov 12, 1966, because
ceived very high scores which were
'I am compelled to state my percharacterized 
by Dr. Wallace Gobetz 
of New York University's
Testing and Advancement Center
ordinary" and statistically
improbable. The State Commission

for Human Rights subsequently
moved for the enforceent of its
order calling for objective admission 
practice by the union which
has never had any Negro members
during its 70-year history.
Mr. Carter says, "This case is
a dramatic illustration of the fact
that Negroes who are given educational 
opportunities can demonstrate 
not only that they are quailfied 
but that they are highly qualified 
for training in skilled work."
In his affidavit, Dr. Clark says,
sonal and professional opinion that
these aptitude spores could be obtained 
by the extraordinary type
of skillful tutoring and test analysis 
(used) and through the factore 
of high motivation, practice in
test and increased confidence on
the part of the applicants."
As a consultant to the Workers
Defense League, Dr. Clark, a professor 
of psychology at the College
of the City University of New York,
and president of the Metropolitan
Applied Research Center, Inc., gave
specific advice on the matter of
tutoring Negro, Puerto Rican and
other applicants for the apprenticeship 
entrance examination conducted 
by Local 28 of the Sheet
Metal Workers Union.

Cancer Study Set
For Buenos Aires
An
epidemiological study of certain
types of cancer has been mapped
for Buenos Aires,
Central to the project in the
Argentine capital, an announcement 
said, is the tabulating of
medical histories of some 1,000 hospital 
patients afflicted with cancer 
of the larynx, lung, and urinary 
bladder.
Among the facts sought from
a patient during the six-month,
fact-finding investigation are those
that tell of his occupation, of the
length of his residence in an urban 
area, and of his smoking history. 

According to the announcement,
the survey is financed out of an
18,000 grant from the Anna Fuller 
Fund of New Haven, Conn.
The grant was made to the Pan
American Sanitary Bureau, regional 
office for the Americas of the
World Health Organization.
Its director, Dr. Abraham Horwitz, 
and Argentine minister of
public health, Dr. Ezequiel Alberto 
D. Holmberg, then concluded an
agreement for the investigation.
Under their accord, a ranking
epidemiologist in Argentina's Department 
of Health Statistics and
Economics, Dr. Naum Marchev sky, 
is in charge of field work in
Buenos Aires, and the health officials 
here in charge of analyzing
the data collected.
The Buenos Aires study is an
offspring of a larger investigation 
on adult mortality in 12 cities
of 10 countries. One city is Bristol 
in England, but the other 11 are
Western Hemisphere cities, including 
ten Argentine port-city of La
Plata.
Preliminary finding, reported
earlier, that showed larynx, lung,
and uninary tract cancer mortality
high in La Plata led to the development 
of the new epidemiological
project on cancer in the Argentine
canital.
In the parents investigation, officially 
designated the Inter-A merican 
Investigation of Mortality
epidemoilogists collected data about
43,000 death of persons between the
ages of 15 and 74.
Begun in 1965, with a grant from
the National Institutes of Health
of the U. S. Public Health Service
and as a research project of the
inter-American health agency, it
now nears completion. Health officials 
here say a final report, as
planned now( is due for publication 
in June or July.

U. S. Aircraft Carrier
Stop In South Africa
Protested By Wilkins
The National Association 
for the Advancement of
Colored People has strongly protested 
the State Department's
highly controversial decision to
allow a U. S. Navy aircraft carrier
to make a four - day stop at
Capetown, South Africa.
In a telegram to Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, Feb. 2, NAACP
Executive Director Roy Wilkins declared, 
"Our country should have
no dealings with South Africa
whatsoever,' 'and insisted the visit
of the carrier Franklin Delano
Roosevelt should never have been
Scheduled.
Mr. Wilkins also told Secretary
Rusk that the estimated 300 Negro
enlisted men among the 3,500 servicemen 
aboard the carrier returning 
from combat duty in Viet Nam
would be humiliated and insulted
by the south African racist policy. 

"Those (Negroes) who remain
on board rather than subject themselves 
to South African racial policy 
will be degraded by the fact
that their country consented to the
arrangement by which they and
their patriotism and citizenship are
scorned by South Africa," Mr. Wilkins 
warned.
The civil rights leader said that
those Negro soldiers who venture
ashore "will have their every step
dogged by the hated policy which
decrees where they may not go
The United States had no right to
lacerate brave men in this fashion.
We protest for them. We weep for
them, We are shamed as are they."
The State Department, in a
Statement issued announcing its
plan to go ahead and allow the
carrier to make a refueling and
reprovisioning steps - over at Capetown, 
Feb. 4-7, said its agreement
specifies that the government of
South Africa interposes no objection 
to racially mixed personnel
performing any military duties
ashore.
However, it was also reported
that while on liberty the Negro
and white Crew members must
strictly observe the apartheid policy 
of South Africa
A resolution adopted last week
in Washington during a meeting of
the American, Negro Leadership
Conference on Africa urged President 
Johnson to cancel the planned
stop. The resolution was spomsored
by representatives of this coun
try's tog civil rights organizations.
Civil rights and labor elder
statesman A. Philip Randolph and
Negro Leadership Conference executive 
director Theodore E. Brown
termed the aircraft carrier's stop
at Capetown "Ah affont to democracy 
and an insult to the black
people of this country and of Africa," 

In 1965, when the carrier independence 
was scheduled to call at
Capetown, the United States government, 
under pressure of world
opinion, finally rejected such a
visit as a matter of policy.

Sunday School Lesson




The Lesson we are studying to
day pinpoints instances of a warning 
being issued, being ignored, and
the painful consequences which inevitably 
follow being painfully and
reluctantly borne.
But, while the warnings are very
apparent, and go unheeded, nevertheless 
today we are more enlightened 
than Were the people of
Biblical times; for, while they believed 
that suffering was brought
about by sinful actions as a punishment, 
today we realize that such
is not necessarily the case. For
there are many among us who have
done what they honestly felt was
the best they could in disastrous
circumstances beyond their control,
and who hay earnestly avoided
sinning. For them there is a measure 
of comfort in Jesus' view that
the murdered men in this particular 
parable under study today, were
no more sinful than other Gallleans. 

Indeed, any efforts to relate the
sinfulness of others in comparison 
with oneself is, in itself a sin!
And who among us has not been
guilty of this particular sin? Such
a comparison leads, of necessity,
to pride and a false sense of goodness; 
thus Jesus indicates that
every man is sinful and sorely
needs to repent! Arid He did not
limit this view to individuals alone.
but to nations as well! For Israel
had failed to bear fruit, as the fig
tree in the parable — the fruit of
obedience, ministry, humility and
service!
Sin takes many forms; it appears
as arrogance, pride, selfishness..
it appears in sip of omission as
well as commission! And basically, 
they are all form of rejections
of God and His way of life.
The concepts of God are timeless. 
For — while Jesus' words were
directly in relation, to a given historical 
situation — still they set
forth principles which are as true
today (centuries hence) as they
were at the time they were uttered.
The keynote of Jesus' ministry
on earth was concern. He cared
deeply and sincerely about his fellowtnen; 
he cared about his country. 
From this concern was born
His call to the nation to repent.
AS the keeper of the vineyard in
today's parable, He asked that another 
chance be given.
Jesus, Son of God loves all men
He does not want to see them suf
fer 
for their foolishness.. hence
He warns them. But a warning,
unheeded, brings chastisement. And
chastisement brings suffering. And
what had its being in compassion,
of necessity becomes judgment.
There are many things that work
to the betterment of the individual; 
and through the individual
for the betterment of a nation
For a nation is made up of individuals. 

Many things contribute to our
personal well - being. A home, an
education, political freedom. And
as we prosper, so — on a wider
scale, — does a nation prosper. But
the physical realm, of necessity of
limited horizons, is but the father 
of the unlimited —  soul,
And the soul can only find its
limitless possibilities in repentance.
For through personal repentance,
is unfolded the treasures of God's
promises ... peace everlasting and
a place in God's hoists.
To inherit these glorious promises 
man must repent ... must
turn from wrongdoing ... must
embrace Jesus' concepts And while
this goal entails endless struggling
on the part of mankind, what glorious 
rewards are his Surely they
are worth the striving!
