Negro Extremist Cult Halts Rally INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPD—A planned rally by an extremist Negro religious cult was cancelled Sunday when a Methodist church locked, the group out of the church sanctuary. About 50 followers of Elijah Muhammad, self-styled “messenger of Allah,” milled around outside the Gorham Methodist Church after the church’s board of trustees decided at the last minute to deny them use of the sanctuary. The meeting was switched to a Baptist church but then was cancelled entirely because of the large number of police and newspaper reporters present. Raymond Sharrieff of Chicago, who identified himself as Muhammad’s son-in-law and “supreme captain” of the sect, said Muhammad didn't make it to Indianapolis as scheduled Sunday but would attend a rally here sometime in the future. Police Inspector Carl C. Schmidt read the cult members Indiana’s laws against inciting to race hatred. The cult preaches supremacy of the black race, according to a story in a national magazine. Schmidt said the statute provides a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a SIOO,OOO fine for those who “create, advocate, spread or disseminate hatred for or against any person. . . by reason of race, color or religion.” Schmidt told the cult members he intended to send two Negro police officers into the meeting to read the Indiana law again to the cultists.

The project was sponsored by the AFL - CIO Community Services Committee, with the cooperation of nearly every civic group in the city. It was prompted by a city health department warning that Evansville . was sitting on a “powder keg” and that a polio epidemic could break out at any time unless more persons were inoculated with Salk vaccine. The labor union committee got busy and rounded up all the vaccine it could find, enlisted the aid of city doctors, and gave the shots at cost, 50-cents each. The turnout was so much greater than expected that extra serum had to be rushed by plane from Indianapolis. Officials said another mass clinic is planned for sometime next month to take care of those who need second shots. Evansvile, however, has reported only one polio case this year—a one-year-old boy who was stricken last week. He was reported in condition in a local hospital.

HooverDoubfs Nikita Visit To Mean Peace NEW YORK (UPI) — Former President Herbert Hoover said Sunday night that Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev could bring world peace as a gift when he comes to the United States, "but this is unlikely to be the result of this visit.” Hoover, born 85 years ago today, had told newsmen last week he felt more like 72. Asked how he felt Sunday, he said, “physically perfect —about 68, I should think.” Appearing on the NBC television program “Meet the Press,” he answered questions ranging through his relief work in two world wars, the strength of American democracy, farm problems, crime, education, inflation and 1960 politics — “I’m not a candidate. You can take that as positive.” Puts Challenge To Khrushchev Hoover said that Khrushchev could bring “the greatest, most generous gift which mankind has received in a thousand years,” if he would eliminate “all international demands all warnings all threats, and all conspiracies against free people” and agree to peaceful co-existence and inspected disarmament. He said there was some hope the visit would lessen some world tensions, but little hope Khrushchev would choose the means he outlined “to win immortality arpong the leaders of all men.” “We must be Eflert and armed to the teeth,” Hoover said. Expresses Deep Confidence But Hoover expressed confidence in the nation’s ability to face both the external and internal problems which beset it. “We are in more imminent dangers from internal causes than we are from the cold war, he said, citing “inflation, unbalanced budgets, overspending by Congress, the huge growth of crime” as some of the half dozen things about which the nation needs “to be more diligent.” When he was asked if these in- ’ ternal problems had weakened the nation so it could not stand firm against Russia, he replied with a stirring recital of this country’s strengths. “I wouldn’t want anybody to think for a moment that the American people are not capable of solving any crisis,” Hoover said. Show Film Tonight After K. C. Meeting A colored movie of the recent trip taken by Knights of Columbus members and their wives at the Father Gibault school for boys will be shown after the regular K. of C. meeting tonight at the local hafl. Grand knight Gene Braun said that the meeting will be conducted at 8:30 p.m., while the club will be opened to all guests about 9:30 p. m. for the showing of the film. The movie will include pictorial highlights of the bus trip to Terre Haute, the dinner, and parts of the main tour of the school grounds, including the new chapel which the local council is assisting to build.
