The Hulan Jack Affair In New York
The unfortunate circumstances in which Hulan Jack finds
himself is to be generally deplored. Jack, who has served as
Manhattan Borough president for some time, suspended himself 
from his post until his case has been decided by the courts.
A New York Grand Jury returned an indictment against him
for conspiracy in connection with a loan received from a friend
who was trying to get city contracts.
Jack has maintained all along that there was no conflict
of interest involved as the records show that he voted against
his friend in bids for city jobs.
Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who commented that he was
"sad" about the matter, asked Mayor Wagner to come to Albany, 
the capital, to discuss the matter.
Jack, who maintains that "My conscience is clear; I am at
peace with God and I haven't he slightest doubt as to my ultimate 
vindication," enjoyed the respect and confidence of his
associates and the fact that his position is the highest paid elective 
office held by a Negro in America, would draw wide attention. 

If, as he says, that he will be ultimately vindicated, it will
greatly enhance the confidence enjoined upon our group in
high position.
Surely there is no desire to see one persecuted merely for
persecution's sake.
Let the case come out in the open and a clean breast made
of this disturbing question.

National YMCA Week
This week is being observed throughout the United States
and Canada as National YMCA Week. Millions of American
men will nostalgically recall many happy hours spent in "Y"
gymns scattered across the entire face of the country.
For some it will recall memories of summer Saturday afternoons 
in the swimming pool or the clang-bang of the olive-green
lockers and the smell of the showers or the ever-present ping
pong, staccato coming from the game room.
For others will be recalled the first knowledge of self confidenee 
from testing physical fitness in the ring, in the pool, or
on the court. "The day I swam ten laps" or "The day we beat
the Hornets!" Or it may be the memory of a person — a wise
leader to be emulated, or the locker room attendant who had a
thoughtful word for everyone.
These are the things of which a boy's life consist and it
is during such moments as these that character is moulded.
That's the main job of the YMCA — developing character and
personality. And it is for this purpose that the YMCA has swimming 
pools and gyms as well as chapels. Character development 
continues in all activities of life and the YMCA has inaugurated 
such varied activities as fencing, camping, learning
to drive, team participation, dancing the rhumba, or preparing
for marriage.


The Rev. Chas. B. Burgs (Owen
56) will be the speaker for the
regular mid week chapel service
on Wednesday, Jan. 20, according
to. College minister Fred Lofton.
Rev. Burgs was a member of the
first graduating class of Owen College 
in June 1956. He is the pastor
of the New Hope Baptist Church
and is outstanding in church and
community work throughout the Tri
State area.
Visitors to the campus may attend 
these hour-long model church
services, which often prove very
inspirational and thought provoking. 
The students have an excellent 
opportunity to hear some of
the outstanding interdenominational 
clergymen of the city.
The college choir, under the direction 
of Mrs. D. T. Graham, provides 
the music for the services.
Each Thursday afternoon from
12:15 p.m. to 1 p.m. the Humanities 
Club of the Humanities Department 
sponsors the "Listening
Hour." The program consists of
selections of classical, popular and
modern Jazz recordings. A printed
program is prepared with notes
providing interesting information
concerning the composer, arranger,
orchestra or personality featured.
For every fifth program the students 
present requests from the
preceding four programs. Many of
the requests are for the classics.
Last week's program (Jan. 1.4):
Prelude: "The Afternoon of a

Faun" by Debussy, Music Treasures 
Philharmonic Orchestra conducted 
by Mox Schoenherr; "The
Nutcracker Suite" by Tchaikowsky
(Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

Tell Of Lynch

of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
urged Atty. Gen. William Rogers
to release the FBI report "so that
the world may know who the suspects 
are and be able to appraise
the quality of justice administered
in the state of Mississippi."
Kelly Alexander, president of
the North Carolina NAACP, made
the same request "so that the entire 
world can really understand
the type of justice that Negroes receive 
in the state of Mississippi."
Medgar Evers, head of the Mississippi 
NAACP, called for "federal 
legislation with teeth" guaranteeing 
Negro voting rights.
The Federal Grand Jury, made
up of 20 white men and one Negro 
- all from south Mississippiheard 
32 witnesses including some
of the FBI suspects. Jury foreman
Charles Long of Gulfport said the
jury "considered all evidence and
was unable to arrive at any true
bill."

Congressional

to Mississippi Gov. J. P. Coleman
last May.
Coleman made the report available 
to county and district prosecutors 
when the Pearl River County 
grand jury convened in November, 
but the grand jury did not
ask for it nor did it ask to hear
any FBI agents or other witnesses.
United Press international
learned that, during Wednesday's
deliberation by the grand jury, one
or more ballots were taken on
whether to indict and that the results 
were extremely close. At least
12 grand jurors would have had to
vote to return true bills.

TOUGH SADDLE

MANY TIMES Sage Wingo
had known the weight of
Jonas Dalmar's barbed tongue,
and had paid it little attention
until today, when, for some reason, 
it had cut deep. Now be was
trying to figure out why it
should.
He got the answer finally. Today 
Jonas Dalmar's words had
punished, because with them came
complete disillusionment. In
Sage Wingo's code a man held
true to the interests of his hire,
only so long as that fidelity was
returned. Now Jonas Dalmar had
plainly shown he did not hold to
this code. He had proven it with
his complete unconcern over
Wiley Goss, a dead man.
Dalmar's words still rang in
Wingo's ears.
"Who said anything about a
grave? Just take that off somewhere 
and get rid of it."
This, the sum total of Dalmar's
regard for Wiley Goss.
Wingo stirred, got to his feet
and stretched with the restlessness 
of decision arrived at. He
was done with Double Diamond
—with Jonas Dalmar. No matter
how faithfully you worked for
Jonas Dalmar, no matter what
dirty chores you might do at his
bidding, your reward was the
sneer and bite of a bitter, ruthleas 
tongue. Should you die for
him, he wasn't even concerned
with burying you.
To Jonas Dalmar you were a
dog to be used and then thrown
aside. Therefore, he deserved less
than nothing in return.
At this moment Sage Wingo's
allegiance swung completely
away from Jonas Dalmar, and
centered just as completely upon
himself and his own immediate
future.
Primary decision arrived at,
other plans followed swiftly.
Done with Double Diamond and
all concerned with it, he was also
done with this pan of the country: 
it was time to move on to
new range. To do this he needed
two things—a horse to ride and
money in his pocket. Well, he
had the horse and he knew where
he could get the money.
Jonas Dalmar paid his crew
in gold. Forty and found for the
regular bands, two golden double

considerable contents of the sack,
then  it away in a raw
co brass bound trunk. After
which he looked the trunk and
pocketed the key.
Well, Sage Wingo mused now,
there never was a trunk lock
that couldn't be broken.
The day was well along when
Wingo got back to headquarters
and began unsaddling. Jonas
Dalmar, gaunt and angular, his
face pulled tight, stamped over
to the corrals with acid complaint. 

"You damn well took your own
time. How far did you haul
Goss, anyhow?"
"Far enough," Wingo answered
curtly.
Still present in Wingo were
evidences of the combative edge
Dalmar had recognized and shied
away from, earlier, so now he
became all business.
"Get on out to our back range
and slow things up there. Have
the crew hold what stock they've
already got in the gather, but
don't let them work any more
until further orders."
There was a thinly veiled contempt 
in the glance Sage Wingo
put on Jonas Dalmar.
"You backing away from the
big deal you had hatched?"
Dalmar flared at the taunt,
"I'm not backing away from
anything," he said harshly. "I
know what I'm doing. You don't
have to be concerned. All you
have to do is what you're told.
Get at it!"
Wingo did not argue. It was
not yet time to put his own plans
into effect. So he caught up a
fresh horse, hit the saddle and
rode again.
Link Asbell cut for the main
plains road and struck it a couple
of miles south of Running M,
shortly thereafter meeting with
Doc Jerome on his way back to
town. Asbell hauled to a stop
and Doc rode his brake and
checked his team.
"I delivered Wiley Goss to
Jonas Dalmar like I said I
would," Asbell said.
"Humph!" growled Doc. "You
make it sound too simple."
"How's Frank Dalmar?"
"Minus two 45 slugs and a
lot of blood. Which leaves him
a bit puny."
"I got some questions I'd like
to ask him, Doc. How soon can
I talk to him?"
"Anytime he's awake. When
I left he was sleeping, with Sue
Vincent holding his hard. Between 
her and Mandy Madison,
I got me a couple of mighty good
amateur nurses. I hope they're
still available when I have to go
to work on you."
"Well now!" charged Asbell
drily. "You sure are a fine, comforting 
fellow to have around."
"I'm a realist," declared Doc.
"A realist who is long overdue
at his office. Giddap!"
Doe kicked off the brake and
urged his team to movement.
When Link Asbell rode in at

Running M, Sue Vincent was
standing at the door of the bunkhouse. 
At sight of him she exclaimed 
and came a little way
toward him then paused, watching 
him, her eyes big and dark,
a shadow of strain slowly ebbing
from her face. Asbell stepped
from his saddle.
"What is it, Sue. Don't tell me
Frank has—?"
She shook her head quickly,
drew a deep breath.
"Frank's doing all right It—
it's just that I'm a little jumpy."
He considered her gravely.
"You're tired out. You better come
along home and rest up. Mandy
can take care of Nels, now. And
Rupe Hahn or Pearly Grimes can
keep watch of Frank."
"I know," Sue said. "But I
can't leave Mandy alone over
night I would like to go home
and get some fresh clothes, but
I'll come back again."
Asbell glanced at the bunkhouse. 

"Some things I'd like to ask
Frank. I met Doc along the road
and told him that. He said I
could talk to Frank any time he
was awake. But he's sleeping
now?"
"And liable to remain so for
the rest of today and tonight."
"Then there's no use me hanging 
around. I'll get your horse,
Sue."
Minutes later they headed out.
The sun was dipping behind the
Saddlebacks and a wide tide of
cool, blue shadow spilled off the
slope of the hills and flowed out
across the plain.
They rode in silence, with Asbell, 
from time to time, guardedly 
studying his companion.
"Been rough on you, Sue, these
last few days," he said gently.
She answered with quick emphasis. 
"Please, Link—no sympathy 
for me. Like I told you before, 
it's time I grew up."
She swung her horse closer.
"Link, what is it you want to
ask of Frank Dalmar?"
"What he knows of future Double 
Diamond intentions. How
much he's willing to tell, to me
and to Sheriff Hatfield."
She thought about this, then
slowly nodded.
"It is the right thing, of course.
Bringing in Sheriff Hatfield's
office to handle things, I mean.
But what you want of Frank is
rather awful, too. Asking him—
expecting him to turn against his
own father."
"It is," agreed Asbell. "My
feeling, though, is that he's already 
turned."

since 1946, to be reinstalled and assigned 
at the General Conference.
Senior Bishop Greene, in his address, 
described the Brotherhood
Movement as a "group that warns
the AME Church to be turned
loose — you are demanding a better 
church." He further alerted
the group that "the bench of Bishops 
are not afraid of you." In response 
to an earlier statement by
the president that the Brotherhood
was not afraid of the Bishops.
Council president, Bishop Baber
viewed the meeting as an occasion
for the ministers to air their Complaints 
in an atmosphere of freedom 
declaring that he hoped the
day would never come in the
church when a man would not
have the privilege of expressing
himself. He challenged the body to
continue its work on progressive
legislation for the General Conference 
and made it clear that
"any Bishop that struggles for power 
has lost his soul."

Morals Charges

ation gained by a grand jury
which investigated the case last
week.
The grand Jury, however, returned, 
no presentments following
a session in which they questioned
acting Police Chief J. F. Flint and
other police officials.
Thompson said no charges have
been filed against the women.

Memphis Citizens

peopel really believer in the separate-but 
equal law, then why
don't they take the rear seats on
buses sometime. What they really
believe in is separate-and-unequal
law...they believe to the laws which
will keep Negroes at the bottom"
REV. S. A. OWEN; "We are here
tonight because we are interested
in the general advancement of our
people. We are in bad need of recreation 
facilities where we can develop 
the right type of youth can
have more wholesome recreation
and the right kind of direction.
JAMES T. WALKER: "We have
made less progress in Memphis
than any other city of comparable
size, because we don't have enough
NAACP members. Out a population
of nearly 200,003 Negroes, we don't
have 10,030 NAACP members in the
city and county. Some have tried
to label the NAACP Communistic,
but J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI
said it Is a bona fide American institution. 
The NAACP has been accused 
of everything but the crucifixion 
of Jesus Christ. All we ask
is an equal opportunity." He started 
for the second time to refer to
the audience as Negro but he interupted 
himself and said...there's
no such thing as a Negro...we are
dark Americans. He said, "I
wouldn't be found without my NAACP 
card."
A. MACEO WALKER: "We
should voice a pretest from now on
whenever there is infringement on
our constitutional right. Silence m
this case is not golden. Where
there is no protest there is no progress. 
If we are going to be a
laughing stock. Jet us be a good
laughing "stock."
Atty. Ben Hooks, who was elected 
temporary chairman of the Protest 
group, said "I am glad to see
some of the big men of our city
here tonight. Most of our big men
don't attend any meeting where
we are fighting for civil rights."
Until this point, Jesse Turner
of the Tri-State bank was master
of cememonies. Atty. Hooks took
over to raise $198 to be donated to
the St. Jude hospital. We are doing
this because they did not allow us
to participate in the show."
Fifty-four persons volunteered to
serve on a executive committee
which was formed to Study all
phases of denials of rights to Negroes 
here.
Members of the Bluff City Funeral 
Directors association voiced
their pretest in a resolution which
was read. Text of the resolution
was as follows:
Gentlemen:
We, all members of the Bluff
City Funeral Directors Association,
take this means of adding our
voice to that of the rising chorus
of Memphis citizens who resent
and protest the action of the
sponsors of the current automobile

show at Ellis Auditorium here in
Memphis.
The refusal to sell Negro citizens 
tickets to the show, we feel
to be a flagrant instance of
thoughtless stupidity or crass callousness...or 
both.
The reported explanation of
sponsors for the show that they
are conforming with a city ordinance 
which forbids racial intermmingling 
at auditorium, is, in
our estimation, weak and patently
evasive, For we know that the
membership of the sponsoring organization 
consists of some of the
most influential people to Memphis. 
And there is every reason to
feel that such persons not, only
know and understand the Memphis
situation in all its aspects, racial
and otherwise, but also know, their
own ability to shape and guide
community developments.
We also know something of the
background of the local ordinance
governing the auditorium and the
situation out of which it developed. 
We had hoped that the sentiment 
that evoked it had been interred 
with the bones of Mr.
Crump.
We resent and protest the position 
of the sponsors of the 1960
Automobile show because we feel
they should know that local situation 
well enough to avoid an incident 
that embarrasses some 38 percent 
of the local populace, and
makes Memphis the wonder and
laughing shock of the nation and
the world.
If it was indifference that made
the sponsors subscribe to the ugly
and distasteful pattern of racial
discrimination against a large segment 
of citizens...with a healthy
representation of users of thier
merchandise...then we wonder what
has happened to the wanted enenlightened 
self interest of the
American Businessman. And we deplore 
the blind and blinding prejudices 
which can lead to the ignoring 
of and apparently deliberate 
insulting of...a marketing segment 
of a potential 50 million dollars 
in city and county car purchases. 

The members of the Bluff City
Funeral Rirectors Association recall 
the fact that as morticians, our
professional requirements over the
years...ever since the first gas-propelled 
vehicle was included in our
rolling equipment has amounted
to more than 40 million dollars to
cars, hearses, and ambulances—
purchased, in the main from local
automobile dealers, This is not include 
expenditures for parts, fixtures, 
and other maintenance and
operational costs...also spent with
local automobile people. This has
been true over the years. And we
have had reasons to believe that
on the basis of business dealing
alone...we have met our obligations—over 
and beyond any considerations 
of race we had won
the respect and goodwill of the
automobile defers of our community. 

It is a distinct shock to us as
a professional group, to not this
implicit -insult to us and explicit
comtempt and disregard for the
large body of the Negroes of Memphis 
who are motorists which has
been so unnecessarily and aggravatingly 
perpetrated by tne sponsors 
of the current automobile
show at Ellis Auditorium.
We voice the protest as a matter 
of record. We voice it as a matter 
of principle. We feel justified
in joining all other right thinking
Americans who hold hold no brief
of bigotry and have no place for
pettiness. We feel that the automobile 
dealers of Memphis made a
mistake in arranging a show to be
conducted as the one now current
has been and is being conducted.
We voice this protest to give vent
to the complete exasperation which
we feel in the face of a stupid absurdity 
which does nobody good.

TO "STUDY CHANGES IN
COMMUNITY"
The recent
clamor by four members of the
French-African community of nations 
for independence had led four
premiers of the Equatorial African
section of the community to schedule 
a meeting in the near future
to "examine the present situation
in the community." These four
states are Congo, Chad, Gabun and
the Centrafrican Republic Observers
see in this move the possibility that
four more states will poin the match
toward autonomy within the framework 
of the community.

. . . Wonder why Osbie Howard
is seen with Maxine Foster one day
and the next day Joseph Watkins
is on the scene? Is it because
Maxine can't make up her mind
or someone doesn't know what's
going on .... Russell Pernell, can't
you see that S. B. isn't interested?
But Phylis Ross and Georgia James
said they are ... Sampson Briscoe, 
wonder who told Barbara about
you being with Bertha Williams
(BTW) at the game Monday? ...
It was told to me that Walter
Powell has chosen as his theme
song, "I Need Money" and it really 
looks that way, but that isn't
all he needs ... Pauline Washington, 
everybody is wondering who
is the lucky fellow, or is it a secret? 
.... Emma Longley, who was
that you was with on the bus so
jazzy after the game last Monday
night? I know It wasn't "Pete"
Freeman, was it Rose Cooper? ....
Claudette Green, Odis Dockery
said is it true that all you don't
know won't hurt you? .... James
Pope, Victoria said she believe to
her soul she was wrong so "Won't
You Come Home" .... Dorothy
Fant. is Homer Wilkerson for real?
. . . . Calvin Junior, I know someone
who dig you the most, check with
me and I'll turn you on .... Charles 
Terry, don't think we didn't see
who you were with Thursday, and
it wasn't Lee Ann Cooper, either
. . . . Lawrence Fant, you better
start noticing things, a certain boy
like Shearlean and if things go his
way you'll loose all your ice because 
he's just a junior .... Brenda
Jeffries, F. B. said he want you to
"Talke That Talk" and hot about
Chris Booth (You Know The
Story Don't You?) .... Betty Bowen 
is writing a book, "True Love"
for Ralph McCoy (Melrose) ....
