NAACP To Organize
Branch In Watts
Plans for organizing 
a branch of the National Association 
for the Advancement of
Colored People in the Watts area
of Los Angeles were announced
here this week by Gloster B. Current, 
the Association's director of
branches and field administration.
The branch in the riot-torn area
of Los Angeles is being organized
under the Association's new organizational 
program authorizing the estabishment 
of multiple branches
in urban centers.
Miss Gertrude Gorman, an NAACP
field director, has been assigned to
work with Norman Houston, president 
of the Los Angeles NAACP
Branch, and other local NAACP officials 
in organizing the Watts
Branch under supervision of the
Associations West Coast regional director, 
Leonard Carter. Organization 
of the branch will be completed
by the end of the year. Mr. Carter
predicted.
Plans for establishment of multiple 
branches in Kansas City. Mo.,
and Omaha, Neb., were also announced 
by Mr. Current. Multiple
branches have already been established 
in Dallas and Houston, Texas. 


Anti-Poverty Agency Gives
Boost To Colored Colleges
The Office of Economic Opportunity 
has set up an unusual educational experiment in the war
on poverty aimed at upgrading small, predominantly, nonwhite
colleges which suffer from inadequate faculty, obsolete equipment 
and poorly prepared students.
Sargent Shriver, director of the
OEO, said the first demonstration
grant of its kind in the sum of
$383,250 has been awarded the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools, Inc., in Atlanta, to
aid 300 students and raise the educational 
level at three small junior
colleges in South Carolina.
The colleges, which will develop
cooperative arrangements for im
proving 
standards, are Friendship
College in Rockhill; Voorhees College 
in Denmark and Mather College 
in Beaufort.
Each school will take 100 special
students, high school graduates
erected on each campus to house
those students who cannot commute. 

The bringing in of master teachers 
in English, reading, mathematics 
and social studies, plus the
allocation of $12,000 for books and
teaching materials at each college,
is expected to stimulate improvement 
of the level of learning
throughout the junior college complex. 

It is hoped that the perpectuat
ing 
chain of poor education whereby 
the schools accept inadequately
prepared students, then try to combine 
college with remedial work
with the inevitable result of producing 
substandard graduates, may
be broken, Shriver said.
If the experiment is successful,
small college may be joined in
similar complexes in many parts
of the country. Personal and vocational 
counselling will be offered 
to special student and their
families as well as to local high
school students who seek guidance.
Shriver said project planners
hope to raise the college survival
rate in the schools to at least 70
per cent, noting that the current
dropout rate in predominantly nonwhite 
colleges is close to that figure. 
After one year in the special
preparatory program students will
be admitted as regular college students.

Judge Watson Quizzed
By Senate Committee
A Senate Judiciary Subcommittee 
considering the nomination of New York Civil Court Judge
James L. Watson for a life-time seat on the U. S. Customs Court
showed great interest last week in his alleged connection at one
time with Communist-front and ultra-nationalistic organizations.
In response to questions put to
him by Sen. Quentin N. Burdick
(D-N. Dak.), subcommittee chairman, 
and Sen. Phillip A. Hart (D.Mich.), 
watson asid he once attended 
a meeting of the United
Negro and Allied Veterans, but was
not then aware of the group's political 
philosophy.
Watson said he learned afterward 
of the organization's pro-red
ties and immediately "disavowed
support" for it. He was asked if
he had actively supported the candidacy 
for public office of the
Benjamin Davis, whose reputation
as a Communist is well documented.
The judge said he could not have
supported Davis since Davis was
his opponent for the office of State
Senator in 1958. Watson acknowledged 
that he knew Davis and that
they lived a short distance apart on
Riverside Drive.
Hart asked Watson if he ever
introduced a resolution in the New
York State Senate designed to provode 
special worship privileges for
the Black Muslims in penal instituitions. 
Watson answered that he
proposed the measure in 1960-61, because 
he felt that Black Muslims
should be entitled to worship privi
leges 
granted to the religious
groups.
"Have you any sympathy toward
the Black Muslims or Elijah Mohammed?" 
asked Sen. Jacob K.
Javits (R-N. Y.), the third member
of the three-man sumcommittee.
"None whatever" Watson replied,
adding that he had taken "an active 
position" against Black Muslim 
type philosophies.
Hart asked Watson a direct
question; Have you ever held
membership in the Communist
Party?" "Categorically no." was
the reply.
Javits explained that he was
confident that Watson was highly
qualified for the $30.000-a-year U.
S. Customs Court post, but wanted
the  to be fully developed
for the record.
At the end of the public inquiry,
Hert told Watson that he personally 
was satisfied with what he had
rd and would support him before 
the full Judiciary Committee.
With Watson in the hearing
 was his wife, D'Jaris, whom
he married in July 1956. They have
three children, Karen, 8; Kris, 5;
and Norman, 14.

George A. Parker Dies
In Washington At 79
Funeral services were held
Saturday, Oct. 23, for George A. Parker, local attorney, educator
and longtime Republican leader, who died Oct. 20 at the age
of 79.
A founder of the old Robert H.
Terrell Law School. Parker succumbed 
at Freedmen's Hospital
after  hemorrhage.
He achieved national prominence
at the 1954 Republican National
Convention in San Francisco when
he clashed briefly with Presidential
candidate Barry Goldwater in a
televised meeting of the GOP Platform 
Committee.
Parker, who was the only colored
member of the platform group, asked 
Goldwater how a Senator whi
called the civil rights law unconstitutional 
and voted against it
could be expected to enforce it
as President.
Ranked by the question, Goldwater 
said his honesty was being
questioned. "I am not questioning
your integrity. Senator," Parker
replied, "I am questioning your
frankness."
After the 1954 convention, Parkhelped 
form a splinter movement
away from Goldwater known as the
D. C. Committee for Forward Look
ing 
Republicans.
Parker received bachelor's degree
in divinity and law from Howard
University. He practiced law until
his death among his clients were
the late William E. B. Dubols and
Paul Robinson who now lives in
New York. He defended them
when they were being tried in the
courts for their Communist affiliations. 

Supervisors include his wife, Emma;
two sons, Barrington, of Washington 
and Sherman, of Louisville; a
daughter Mrs. George Thomas, of
Washington; and two brothers,
William of Kansas City, Kans, and
John, of Washington.

NAACP Presses
School Program
In New York
Plans
have been announced by the New
York State NAACP for a special
seven-point program to implement
the New York policy calling for the
elimination of racially imbalanced
schools throughout the state.
At a special meeting of NAACP
branches at the annual meeting of
the New York NAACP State Conference, 
William Booth, NAACP
state president; Frederick Jones,
NAACP state educational chairman; 
and Miss Shagaloff, NAACP
director for education program, announced 
that the program would
involve both state-wide and local
actions.
Commenting on a recent U. S.
Supreme Court decision upholding
the authority of the New York
State Commissioner of Education
to order school desegregation in
Malverne, N. Y., Miss Shagaloff
stated: "The Supreme Court's action 
at long last dears the way for
swift and firm implementation of
the state policy that racial concentrations 
are educationally harmful 
to all children and must be corrected. 

The original Malverne complaint
was filed by the NAACP. Five other
NAACP complaints are now pending
before the Commissioner and plans
call for the reactivation of these
complaints and the filing of others,
based on the Supreme Court decision. 

Other aspects of the program,
which will involve community action, 
demonstrations and litigation
include urging the Commissioner of
Education to investigate de facto
school segregation elsewhere in the
state and from implementation of
the state desegregation policy.
The NAACP with also urge Gov.
Nelson Rockef to call a statewide 
meeting of blessing, civic, religious 
and other local leadership
on school desegregation.
The Association will oppose all
school construction programs and
bond issues which fall to correct
segregation or which create new
segregated schools. School officials
will be pressed to develop school
improvement programs under the
new Education Act and the use of
textbooks which reflect a multiracial 
society will be sought.

PARENTS



Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (D.Mich.) 
on Oct. 22 hailed the call of the National Young Democrats 
Convention for more vigorous enforcement of civil rights
laws as "an excellent example" of America's unfinished business
in assuring equality and dignity for all Americans.
In a speech prepared for delivery 
in the House, Conyers said
the chartering of the first integrated 
Mississippi Young Democratic
organization demonstrated that the
griup is giing priority to the guarantee 
of full equality within their
own ranks.
The unanimously-passed resolution 
establishing special procedures
to provide "every form of assistance
necessary for the Mississippi Young
Democrats to grow and flourish"
was sponsored by the Michigan
delegation.
The Young Democrats declared at
their recent convention in New
York that the slow implementation
of the 1965 Voting Rights Act has
not net "the high standards established 
by President Johnson and
the Congress.'
The group urged the Justice Department 
to use its extensive powers 
to appoint Federal voting registrars 
in all counties where Americans 
"are still denied the right to
vote."
Charging that the racial bias in
some Southern state courts denies
the equal protection of the laws
the Young Democrats demanded
new legislation to make racial violence 
a Federal crime.
The Young Democrats further
urged the full enforcement of all
Federal agencies of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act requirement that Federal 
funds be withdrawn from segregated 
programs.
On the subject of Housing, the
group called on President Johnson
to extend the fair housing executive 
order so as to eliminate racial
discrimination in all types of housing.

Commend Flowers
For Stand On
Rights Murders
Alabama
Attorney General Richmond M.
Flowers was commended for his
"Courageous stand" in prosecuting
two civil rights murder cases.
Dr. Gayraud S. Wilmore Jr., executive 
director of the United Presbyterian 
Commission on Religion
and Race, praised Mr. Flowers in
a telegram gent last Friday.
"We are heartened that you in
your position as attorney general
have labored for the integrity of
the law and for human dignity,"
Dr. Wilmore said. "We are appreciative 
of the political and personal
cost of your action. We want you
to know you have our support in
your efforts to obtain justice for
persons of all races in Alabama."
The message, sent "on behalf of
the United Presbyterian Commission 
on Religion and Race," took
note of Mr. Flowers' "courageous
stand in regard to the recent trial
of Thomas Coleman and the current 
trial of Collie Leroy Wilkins
Jr."
The Coleman trial was in connection 
with the August 20 slaying
of Jonathan Myrick Daniels, 26,
an Episcopal seminarian Mr. Flowers 
began prosecution of that case
but was dismissed from it by the
presiding judge.
Mr. Flowers currently is prosecuting 
the Wilkins case, in which
the defendant is charged with
murdering Mrs. Viola Gregg Liuzzo
te night of March 25.

Dr. Weaver's Agency
Lauded For Pushing
Back Blight In U. S.
President Johnson reported to
Congress on Oct. 23 that the Housing and Home Finance Agency,
headed by Dr. Robert C. Weaver, has done much to "push back
the frontiers of blight, disease and ugliness" that afflict the Nation. 

He said on annual report submitted 
to him by the U. S. Housing
Administrator "confirms the wisdom 
of fifteen Congresses and live
Administrations going back to 1934."
Mr. Johnson said Federal housing 
programs has done the following 
things for American:
—$100 billion of FHA mortgage
insurance loans, has been written,
covering more than 7 million homes
and more than one million rental
units.
—700,000 public housing units have
been constructed since the start

of that program in 1937. Two million 
people are living in those
units in more than 2,000 communities. 

—More than 600,000 college students 
are living in dormitories made
possible by government loans.
—$4.3 billion has been made available 
for urban renewal.
—4,500 communities — mostly
small towns—have received urban
planning assistance.
—$300 million of government
credit has gone into small town
water and sewer facilities.
These programs were not easily
done, the President noted, pointing 
to the cries of "socialism" and
"waste" that surrounded them at
their inception.
He said 'false propaganda and
misrepresentation" were used to
discredit those who were to administer 
the programs, but without
these efforts, "we would never have
been able to push back the frontiers 
of blight, disease and ugliness 
that 30 years ago afflicted onethird 
of a nation."
The President told Congress that
when the second session convenes
next January he will once more
ask for the initial $30 million necessary 
to complete the programs he
proposed in 1965.
