A&T College Head Defends
Students In Solon Attack

Rep. John H. Kerr, Jr., tossed the
question to Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy of
A&T College, Greensboro, before the
Joint Appropriations Committee.
"Didn't students from your college 
take part in the sit-in strikes
in Greensboro, trying to do away
with segregation?" Kerr demanded.
"Yes," Dowdy replied.
"And you come down here begging 
the white folks to give more
money to your school some of
us are getting tired of it," Kerr, asserted. 

Rep. David Britt, House Appro
priations 
chairman, tried to switch
to another question, Dowdy asked
to give a further reply.
"We know that young people in
our city, our state, and all over the
world, are seeking for improved behavior 
patterns on the part of our
students," Wowdy assured the committee. 

Dr. Samuel D. Proctor, president
of the school, is on leave with the
Peace Corps and has just returned
from, a tour of duty in Nigeria,

Commission Says 22,000
Dropped From Miss. Rolls
The
U. S. Civil Rights Commission said
an estimated 20,000 persons, almost
all Negroes in LeFlore County,
Miss., who were dropped from surplus 
government food distribution
rolls following an intensive voter
registration campaign, are still in
need of food.
The commission also denied a
published report that their investigation 
of the situation had disclosed 
that there was no connection
between the Negroes being dropped
from the rolls and the voter registration 
campaign.
County officials discontinued the
surplus food distribution in July of
1962.
Reports show that ther action
came on the hee's of one of the
most vigorous voter registration

campaigns ever founded in LeFlore
and neighboring counties.
At a public meeting held by the
Civil Rights Mississippi Advisory
Committee, Feb. 6, in Jackson,
Chester Relyea, assistant general
counsel of the Commission, said the
uncompleted investigation had not
at that time developed concrete evidence 
linking the suspension of the
LeFlore County surplus food program 
with civil rights activities.
'"But," said Relyea, "I definitely
did not state that no such evidence
exists." He added; "Our Investigation 
is continuing."
The Commission pointed out that
there is already substantial evidence 
that there is a pressing need
for the surplus food program in the
county.

Your Medicine
Chest; Will It
Cure Or Kill?
If you haven't cleaned out your
medicine chest within the last six
months, you may be harboring a
killer in your house!
The medicine cabinet — a source
of comfort when illness or accident
strikes — is also a storehouse of
lethal poisons, and the scene of
many fatal mistakes, warns Bauer
and Black, manufacturer of first
aid supplies, in a current campaign
urging greater medicine chest safety 
unless it is cleaned out regularly 
and properly safeguarded, it
can be a deathtrap for both careless 
adults and curious children.
The greatest danger of poisoning
it to toddlers, who will eat or drink
any substance they can reach, regardless 
of taste or appearance. A
medicine chest, with its colorful array 
of bottles, jars, tubes and pills,
becomes a prime playtime target
when mother isn't looking.
If a cabinet is cluttered and neglected, 
antiseptics, potent drugs, and
toxic household chemicals may be
left within reach of little ones.
Medicines which are harmless to
adults may cause serious illness in
children, and an amount that would
not affect an older person may
constitute a deadly overdose for a
youngster.
Even a few common aspirin tablets 
swallowed by a youngster, for
instance, may cause kidney damage,
convulsions, and heart failure.

The criticism came from Mother
Mary Patricia, superior of the Oblate 
Sisters of Providence.
There was no immediate comment 
from archdiocesan officials.
It was the second time in recent
weeks that a textbook used in Detroit 
came under criticism from
Negro groups. The National Association 
for Advancement of Colored 
People (NAACP) led the earlier
criticism, aimed at a history book
used in public schools.
The NAACP said then that the
boook, "Our United States" underplayed 
the role of the Negro in
American history, Detroit school officials 
are investigating the complaints. 

Mother Patricia's criticism was
aimed at the dictionary and a history 
book. "This is America's Story," 
by Wilder Ludlum and Brown,
Houghton - Miflin Co.
She objected to the dictionary
definition of a Negro as a person
belonging to any "black race" of
Africa or as a colored person who
has some black ancestry.
"There are no black people," she
said.
Of the history book, she said only
incidental mention was made of
such Negroes as George Washington 
Carver, Booker T. Washington
and Joe Louis.
Mother Patricia and her staff of
six nuns teach at the 220 - pupil
Our Lady of Victory Parish School
in Detroit. Most of the students
come from the predominantly Negro 
community of Royal Oak township, 
adjacent to the parish.

Sunday School Lesson




Today we consider the Transfigunation 
of Jesus and attempt to relate 
that high experience to present-day 
worship of and work for
Christ.
From our Bible study for today
we see that as Jesus approach the
end of his ministry, he called some
of his disciples, apart. With him
were his three most intimate followers: 
Peter, James and John.
Ater they had gone up a mountain, 
Jesus was "transfigured" before 
the disciples. During this experience 
they saw him talking with
Moses and Elijah. We, ourselves,
shall never be able to explain scientifically 
exactly what happened.
It is a mystery, and such it will remain. 
However, We can try to understand 
the significance of the
event as it is reported to us.
What did this experience mean
for the disciples? It confirmed their
earlier confession that Jesus was
the Christ. They saw Jesus talking,
with Moses and Elijah, the representatives 
of the Law and the Prophets. 
And in Jesus absence the
remaining disciples had been ministering 
to the people; how they
fared in a general sense, we
have no concrete idea, but from
one instance related in the book
of Mark, we do know that in the
case of the young boy 'possessed
of demons they failed, where Jesus
later succeeded. Jesus attributed
his sucess to 'prayer.'
The implications of this incident
and of Jesus' statement are many.
First, notice that Mark placed the
high spiritual moment and the task
of service immediately together.
These two types of experience were
vital to Jesus' life and ministry. His
relationships with God and with
men were here tied together. Those
who saw Jesus as heavenly Lord
also saw him as servant of men.
This is the nature of God's reletion. 

Christian service is the expression 
of what we find in worship.
These two are always related, but
the priority is clear. Jesus indicated 
that worship is the necessary
foundation of Chistian concern. The
love of God underlies and is the
source of love of neighbor. These
two — worship and service — are

not to be separated. Each implies
the other. The first commandment
is to love God. Inevitably the second 
commandment' follows, "Love
thy neighbor."
The definition of the moral act
or the good act is given for the
Christian by his faith. We must do
"the will of God". Why should we
love others as God in Christ has
loved us. Only because we have
found the significance of that love
in our own lives. Only in faith,
therefore, can we know what we
should do. And the power to perform 
the moral act is given by
faith. All of us know the difficulty
of doing what we know to be right
What, then, makes a man strive
against these wayward thoughts and
sinful dispositions?. It is his trust
his faith, in Jesus Christ. It is the
way of Jesus ...... the Way of
service to our neighbors. It is the
willingness to do all we can for the
well-being elf others. This, then,
means that the Christian community 
must be interested in the total
life of men.
The Christian church must be
concerned about its social responsibilities. 
A Christian believer is a
servant to all other men. It is foolish 
to talk of religion as a private
affair. To be truly Christian affects
everything a man does. It throws
one into the World with its need and
its hurt. And while, of course, we
must always refer life ultimately to
God, we are given tasks in the
present. A Christian, like the prophets 
of the Old Testament, cannot 
sit idly by and see injustice
done. He must speak out and act
when the rights of people are being 
violated. He must be concerned
with a political and economic life.
As a Christian all these things are
important to him. It is not enough
to say we love people if we fail
to demand justice for them. Love
may go beyond justice, but it never
sinks below it. We must be concerned 
about our fellow men because 
God is concerned.
True worship entails two things;
first, we wait before God. Second,
we then accept out tasks and receive 
the ability to go to our homes,

our jobs, and our neighbors with
the spirit of Christ.

Suits Filed Against
Vote Bars In Two
Louisiana Parishes
Two Louisiana parishes, in which
98 percent of the registered voters
are white, should be forbidden to
use a new voter qualification test
to discriminate against Negro registration 
applicants, the Department 
of Justice said last week.
The Department asked for orders
forbidding such discrimination, in
two suits filed in United States District 
Court.
One suit named Joseph Walton
Craford of Coushwatta, La., registrar 
of Red River Parish (county)
since 1948, as a defendant. The second 
suit named Mrs. Winnie J. P.
Clement, Minden, La., registrar of
Webster Parish since 1940, as a defendant. 
The State of Louisiana was
named as a defendant in both actions, 
filed under the Civil Rights
Acts of 1957 and 1960.
Atty. Gen. Robert Kennedy said
the two suits were filed after after
failure of Department efforts to
secure voluntary guarantees from
local offiicals of the right to register 
and vote without discriimnation. 

The suits said that until September, 
1962, both parishes used
constitutional interpretation tests
for registration applicants and, applied 
the tests more stringently, and
thus discriminatorily, to Negroes
than to whites.
As a result, 99 percent of the
voters registered in each parish
were white, the complaints asserted.

Study Underlines Role Of
Leadership During Struggle
"If New Orleans has no Negroes
in the power structure, how then
are they to get things done?" —
this is the central question in Daniel 
C. Thompson's new book, THE
NEGRO LEADERSHIP CLASS, a
study of the Negro leader's role in
furthering his people's struggle for
"first class citizenship" in New Orleans. 
It will be published by Prentice-Hall 
on March 25.
In selecting New Orleans as his
focal point the author emphasizes
that New Orleans is a "typical"
southern city Every problem in
race relations anywhere in the
South exists to some degree in New
Orleans."
THE NEGRO LEADERSHIP
CLASS makes the basic assumption
that the most important factor in
promoting social change in any society 
is the response of leadership
to social challenge. Dr. Thompson
defines the Negro leader in particular 
as a "participant in the Negro's 
effort, to achieve personal
freedom and equality — first class
citizenship."
Because the Negro leadership
class is composed primarily of individuals 
whose purposes coincide,
it is relatively simple in structure,
goals and ideology. Choosing as the
basis for his study 100 New Orleans
leaders — Negro and white — Dr.
Thompson traces the social origins
of the leadership class, their occupations, 
family backgrounds, economic 
status, religious affiliations.
By studying different Negro leaders' 
techniques, Thompson estab
lishes 
basic leadership types: the
"Uncle Tom," who accepts the
"parasitic" status assigned him by
the white supermacist; the "racial
diplomat," who realizes the need for
communication between the Negro
and the white; and the "race man",
the idealist who has never accepted
a biracial society as a proper or
workable way of life.
THE NEGRO LEADERSHIP
CLASS shows clearly how the
character of the leaders has changed 
as the goal of Negro leaders has
shifted from the "separate but
equal" doctrine toward the integrated 
use of public places. It is
this shift, concludes Thompson,
which underlies the present crisis
in race relations. The book says:
"Negroes have come to rely upon
the race man to set goals to be
achieved and upon the racial diplomat 
to map out ways and means of
achieving these goals, while white
segregationists continue to rely upon 
the Uncle Tom who has characteristically 
demonstrated loyalty to
the biracial social system. There is,
then, little effective communication 
between accepted leaders of
Negroes and the official leaders of
white people in New Orleans.
To achieve their goal of equal
citizenship, therefore, Negro leaders
have had to rely upon five basic
strategies: protest, negotiation, litigation, 
political action and direct
action. Dr. Thompson describes
each technique, relating it to actual 
incidents in the New Orleans
area.
