GARY — Joining hundreds of delegates from throughout the country, a' delegation of 50 Lake County residents will journey to Washington, D. C., to attend a mass meeting sponsored by the Volunteer Civil Rights Commission on the plight of votcless Negroes in the

South.

The Volunteer commission funofficial) meeting is designed to slimulate public interest in passage of legislation to authorize Federal voter registration procedures where local registrars persist in discriminating against Negroes. THE MEETING, to take place Sunday at Asbury Methodist Church in Washington. Bishop G. Bromley Oxnain is to head the, commission which will hear stories of votcless

Negroes.

Witnesses from the South will tell their stories before a panel of six prominent citizens rerving as

volunteer commissioners.

Besides Bishop Oxnam, panel members will be former Gov. Theodore McKeldin of Maryland, Branch Rickey, Bishop George W. Baber, president of the Council of Bishops of the AME church; Angela Bambace, a vice-president of the International Ladies’ Garm>ont Workers Union and manager of the union’s Upper South Department, and Bishop Edgar A.

Condemned Houses

City-County Health Director

Baltimore Area Methodist Church. The hearings, sponsored by Tuskegee Civic Association, Soi^thern Christian Leadership Conference, United Christian Movement of Louisiana, Southern Conference Education Fund, National Fraternal Council of Churches, USA, Inc.; Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights and the Montgomery Improvement Association, were planned because the official U. S. Commission on Civil Rights is presently barred from holding further hearing on voting rights violations in the South by a Federal Court ruling in Louisiana last summer. WITNESSES will include some of the Louisiana Negroes who had prepared to testify at the thwarted hearings in Shreveport. Other Negroes deprived of voting rights in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida and possibly Tennessee, will also testify before the volunteer

commission.

“Testimony” taken at the hearing will be presented to Congress on Feb. 1. The sponsors hope this will help influence passage of civil rights legislation, including a law providing for federal election regis-

trars.

Asfcfed if his client intended to appeal the suspension. Ward replied, “It would be ridiculous not to.” The union’s constitution provides that an officer be accorded a fair trial with witnesses of his own choosing before he can be dismissed. It further provides that the trial board be composed of disinterested persons, he said. “Of the eight members of the trial board, three should have disqualified themselves since they have been active in the campaign against Mills,” Ward said, refer-1 ring, to Lolla, Sam Collier and David Senter. “Lolla’s only right to sit on the board — assuming fpr the moment that he. was indeed a disinterested person Was by virtue of his office as financial Secretary-treas-urer ” ’ • '. • BUT SHORTLY, BEFORE the trial. The Recorder learned, the local union had been mandated by the international to reinstate Char leSv Martin as secretary-treasurer because of some technical flaw in his ouster by trial board last October. Lolla was subsequently elected to fill Martin’s unexpired term. Despite Wednesday’s order, The Recorder was told, Lolla has refused to vacate his office. Theoretically, the ousted Mills was to remain in his post until the next meeting of the general body scheduled for mid-February. Meanwhile, it was reported that Lolla for the local as a whole» would file for an injunction prohibiting the international union from “forcing Us will upon Local 120 ”

CAVE-IN VICTIM RECOVERS IN HOSPITAL: Jesse Amos, 59, 3 1 5 Bright, seriot.ily injured when trapped in a cbve-in Wednesday of last week, is recovering in Methodist Hospital. Roland Lolla, financial secretary-treasurer of Local 120 of the International Hod Carriers and Laborers Union, receives details of the accident as the union prepares to extend aid to Amos during his confinement and recovery. Amos, employed by the Shamrock Construction Company, was working in a ditch on Raymond 'street, between Meridian and Madison, when the sides collapsed and he was buried. Quick rescue work by fellow workers undoubtedly saved his life. He suffered several broken ribs.

prices at ABC.

During the interview he noted that present membership approximates 650, and while membership is now open and increasing, it will be closed likely to new members upon reaching the 5.000 level. He pointed out that as an operator of several retail outlets for furniture, home appliances and boasts — he could not afford economically to keep the discount house open io I the public at large. No one would patronize his retail outlets, lie

said.

When asked where members come from, he had a ready answer. They include old retail customers who have been advised on ABC savings plans, following hand in hand customers attracted by ABC advertising. “Our advertisements have helped us in this way, and we feel that we should pass a good thing along,” Mr. Jay stated. When asked about credit and terms, he just laughed, saying, “We have no problems there, in many instances the high discount at ABC makes up many times the normally required down payment.” “Our customers (members) can go cash and carry, time or be billed later,” he said. Several customers (members) were leaving the store at this point of time, and he turned away with a grin as he helped one couple carry a heavy chest out of the store. He said, “everyone works here even the president,” —- the store appears to carry everything in the furniture and home appliances line and all name brands. Mn Jay was becom-

related, was one of the most gruesome he had investigated in nearly 20 years on the department. Three men. including the murdered woman’s former husband (remarried and living in Chicago) have been picked up and questioned as police checked all leads in an effort to learn the slayer’s identity. “We’re at a loss for a motive,” the captain said, “Mrs. Gentry had not been raped. There was no sfen of a struggle anywhere in the house except in the bedroom and, as far as we can determine, nothing is

missing.”

The department, Capt. Demitroulas said, has issued a plea for 1 “anyone,. with any knowledge of 1 any activity around the Gentry house to please notify the police.” All information will be thoroughly checked and all names will be bed in strict confidence, he prom-

ised.
