Clement Rebuffs Pro-Southerners Governor Frank Clement has categorically rejected the demands of a local pro-segregation group that he calls a special session of the legislature to indorse interposition. The organization calling itself the "ProSoutherners," also demanded that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People be outlawed These are the steps they consider necessary "for preserving the racial harmony." However, in reply to their telegram to this effect, the Tennesee Governor has said that he does not plan to call a special session of the Legislature "for any purpose." Tennessee Attoney-General Opposes Civil Rights In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in Washington, Tennessee Attorney General George F. Mccandless expressly denied the need for federal legislation to protect the civil rights of citizens in the South. There are a number of civil rights bills now pending in the Senate. Among the members of the committee were Senator Estes Kefauver of Tenn., and Senator James O. Eastland of Miss. Senator Kefauver has said during his recent primary campaigns, that he "generally favors" the President's program on civil rights. However, Mr, McCandless, who as attorney general, is Tennessee's top legal officer — charged with the prosecution of those who violate the, civil rights of other — maid that he considered the legislation "not needed. Much of it is unconstitutional," he said. The Attorney General was particularly opposed to a proposal which would make cities and counties in which lynchings were committed liable for money damages. "This would result in payment of damages by innocent people," he said. "A poor widow would have to contribute from her meagre funds for no reason at all except that her little home lay within a county or municipality. . . She would be guilty by location." At the same time, McCandless urged that civil rights legislation "seriously invades the sovereignty of the states," and that "it reflects discredit upon the government of our states." Senator Eastland termed the Tennessee Attorney General "an able lawyer," and referred to McCandless' statement as "one of the ablest I have ever heard."

The Committee was established by President Eisenhower in August 1953 and ordered to do what needed to be done to extend the principle of Equal job Opportunity throughout American industry. The Committee works with the principal contracting agencies of the Federal Government to obtain compliance with the nondiscrimination clause in Government contracts and develops and conducts broad educational programs for industry, labor and the general public. Spokesman for the Committee cite a wide range of examples in which a single action by that body set up a chain reaction ofevents which improved employment conditions over a broader area than that directly affected by the original action. One of the results of this development Is that the Committee is unable to keep fully informed of the progress that is made as a result of its work, spokesman say. Extension of the principal into the oily industry was cited by the Committee as an example of the chain reaction developments. The Committee received a complaint charging discrimination was being practiced in a Shell Oil Company refinery in Houston. The Commit- Ministers Told To Integrate Summer Camps Churches should begin integration now by opening their educational camps and summer conferences to all races, the Nashville Ministers association was told Tuesday. The Rev. Cecil Culverhouse, pastor of West Nashville Presbyterian church, said the fact that the Supreme Court moved first in this field indicates "the moral bankruptcy of church leadership" as far as race relations are concerned. The session was the regular monthly meeting of the association, its last program of the year. Subject of the address by Culverhouse and others was what should the church do about the Supreme Court's order for integration? "I have no patience," Culverhouse declared, "with those who tell us as Christians we must desegregate because the Supreme Court has decoded so. In South Africa, the court has ruled just the opposite. Are Christians there to follow that ruling? Actually, we had to mandate from God to end segregation and this long before the court acted." Acknowledging that desegregation in schools will bring many problems because of the difference in educational levels and cultural backgrounds of children of the two races Culverhouse declared "these differrences are the measures of our sins." We have little reason however, to talk about segregation in the schools while we perpetuate it in our church es," he continued. "In the church we have to act in this matter and act quickly."
