Kokomo NAACP Leaders Seek Fair Employment Legislation

KOKOMO — A standing room only crowd, including Mayor John W. Miller and Herschel Adams, president of the Kokomo Common Council, was on hand here last week to hear L. Aldridge Lewis, Indianapolis attorney, speak at a meeting sponsored by the Com munity Coordination Committee of

the NAACP.

The meeting, held in the Wayman AMF. Church, was for the puipose of presenting information un present employment conditions

in Kokomo.

ADOPTION of a fair employment practice ordinance in Kokomo was advocated by I.ewis who said duiing his speech that such legislation has raised the “moral, social and economic level of many

communities in the United States and can do the same in Kokomo.” In his speech, Lewis noted that a Fair Employment Practice Ordinance has been passed on first reading by the Kokomo council. He said that said action was commendable and urged members of the audience to support the legislation. “Discrimination in employment is wrong—economically, legally, morally and socially,” he asserted “Most Americans will agree that discrimination is an evil, but they can’t all agree on how to eliminate it. “I am of the school that believes the law must take the lead, and should not be guided by custom. The solution rests with our American heritage of fair play.” The speaker, who is chairman of legal redress of the state conference of NAACP branches, also said that he felt both “education and legislation must be followed,” and that legislation such as is proposed in the local FEP ordinance is not unlawful “PASS THE LAW, but make iii re you get the right people to idminister it,” he said. The meeting also inc’uded brief remarks by a number of other persons. Mayor Miller said that he "elt the Friday night meeting had been “very educational.”

RETIRED: Daniel S. Macome, 1041 N. Pershing, who has been employed by Eli Lilly and Company for 31 years, retired Thursday. He had been a member of the service department at the McCarty Street plant for the entire period. A native of Louisville, Macome attended Central Hi,ah School there. He was employed by Lilly's on May 22, 1928.

3 Million New Voters Is Goal

Of NAACP Registratioa Drive By CHARLES S. FRESTON

Aid of Clergymen Sought for Racial Self-Defense Policy

CHICAGO — Prominent e’ergynen seven states were to meet here this weekend in emergency session to implement iht NAACP’s newly announced “ex>anded racial self-defense policy.” Gloster B. Current, NAACP dimeter of brandhes, announced that he regular schedule of the assertion's annual Region III tonterence, April 1-2, has been altered in light of new developments

Mr Current announced that Rev. Edward J. Odom Jr NAACP (•hureh secretary, was to lead the f ine gency workshop session entitled “Church Social Action and the Current Crisis in Civil Rights.” Mr. Odom will be joined by Rev. Grant Shockley, professor of religion at Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston, 111.; Rev. Owen D. Pelt, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church he.e, and Rev. Carl Fuqua, execu-

Imough its “Operation Crash Voter Registration,” th/e NAACP hopes to register 3 million Negroes in the U. S. to play an influential part in this year’s elections. Techniques of the drive, which has already got off to a refreshingly successful start in our neighboring state of Ohio, were outlined to a statewide workshop here Saturday by Atty. Sebrena Davis of

Columbus, O.

By use of new approaches to the age-old problem of voter apathy. Miss Davis said, a total of 400,000 additional Negro voters has already been added to the rolls throughout the U. S. She urged a communitywide campaign “including business and labor organizations, churches and especially the little social clubs and organizations.” THE DAY-LONG INSTITUTE was held in Rice Auditorium of :he State Board of Health Building.

ing attended by delegates from number of cities. “1 hear bells ringing in the South and all over the nation,” Rev. Moses said in setting the tone of the meeting. “And we here in Indiana must respond to them and awaken.” A highlight of the morning session was a historical analysis of voting in the U. S., given by Atty. Charles H. Wills of South Bend. “The importance of government is seen in the true history of the Reconstruction period following the Civil War,” Atty. Wills declared. “EVEN THOUGH WE got the Reconstruction Acts, the Federal Civil Rights Law, and the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, the Negro’s lot was improved only so long as the government kept the Army stationed in the South. “But we goofed at an election hi 1876 (Ifayes-Tllden Compromise). And when after that the government withdrew the soldiers, we went back into slavery and remained there until the Supreme Court decision

of 1954.”

Stressing the importance of motivation in registering voters, Atty

Wills said:

“There’s an explosion of freedom going on all over the world. In

America, this explosion is ignited and guided by the youth

and ihe NAACP.

“We want to keep the type of government — or to make the type of government, as you see it — that will keep this great explosion go-

ing.”

AFTER LUNCH AT the Medical Center Student Union, Mrs. Jessie Jacobs headed a panel discussion on “Leeislative Program for Indiana, I960.’’ Atty. John Preston Ward told the panel that legislative reapportionment is one of the principal L^sues facing Hoosier voters this

year.

“Before long, Gary will have 200,000 people, making it a first-class city, and all its Co.uncilmen will be elected at large as they are in Indianapolis. The Councilman will no longer represent the people of their districts and for that reason, we won’t have so many Negro Councilmen. “Indianapolis has long since given up on this issue,” he remark ed sardonically. “We have a job to do to bring it about that our City Councilmen shall represent the people. “State legislative reapportionment is important to us for the same reasons — because it will probably provide for the establishment of legislative districts.”

Army Airborne As 'The Ticket' For Adventure-Minded Youth

WARD LISTED STATE legislative goals as “putting some teeth into the FEPC Law and more teeth into the Public Accommodations Law,” and added: “If in Colorado they can pass a fair housing law, you tell me why we can’t have one in Indiana!” Other members of the panel were i Miss Carole Stevenson, local NAACP Youth Council; Mrs. Stella Woodall, American Council on Human Rights, and Mrs. Ollie W^eks. Also taking part in the day's program were Rev. Ford (xibsdn, NAACP state president, and Rev. H. L. Burton, local president; Mrs. Virgin Davis, Atty. L. Aldridge Lewis and Ira Butz. Mrs. Edna Morris of Gary, immediate past president, was unable to attend as she was ill in Mercy Hospital. Gary, Room 207

Rabid Segregationists Rap Florida^ Governor Collins

Negro 6ishop Once Headed Maine Diocese

Few Americans, even among Catholics, are aware that an Amei ican Negro bishop governed a New England diocese for nearly a quarter of a century. Bishop James Augustine Healy, born in Georgia in 1830, served as bishop of Portland, Maine from 1875 lo 1900. Not all his flock realised at first that he was a Negro because of his relatively light complexion, Most, however, did know and some at first protested his appointment. BUT AS ALBERT S. FOLEY, S. J. notes in his biography. Bishop Healy: Beloved Outcast, “They were still overwhelmed by the impression of strong personality by the impassioned oratory, and by the commanding eyes,” and they grew to admire and love hinn Two other brothers were also priests. One o fthem, Patrick F. Heady, S. J, became president of npergetown University in Washington, D. C., the oldest Catholic coiitge in the country.

M/Sgt. Earl D. Black, local recruiter and member of the information bureau staff on service in the U.S. Army, says that young men who seek glory in hard physical action and thrill to adventure in the skies are enlisting by the ’"Mindreds in the U.S. Army Airborne. They like it so well, he adds, that many have formed sports parachute clubs and “sky division” teams so that they can jump during off-duty hours.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO HOLD AREA MEETING

PLAlNFlfcLD — The Central Area meeting of the Indiana Conference Brahch Women’s Missionary Society of the AME Church will be held April 2 at Bethel AME ChUrch, 285 N. Vine. The meeting opens at 10.00 a m. and closes at 100 p.m. The theme is “The Growing Mission to Town and Country Churches.” The Young People’s Department of the area will meet at the same time. Art work donated by the societies will be sold. Mrs. Rose Swarn is president of the host society and Rev. Ulysses White is the minister

FROM THE FIRST DAY of the four-week Airborne basic training at Fort Benning, Ga., there’s always a feeling of excitement and daring among these ramrodstraight men, Drawn together from all sections of the country and all walks of life by their common love of adventure, paratroopers are one for all and all for one. To them jumping comes as naturrally as breathing, and they get along with their parachutes like ham and eggs. Para-troopers receive $55 a month additional pay. They begin by jumping a distance of three feet. Qualified instructors watch* their every move like hawks to make sure that they know how to jump safely and land surely. While men of the 101st Airborne Division, known as the “Screaming Eagles.” and the 82nd Ai borne Division, known as the “AH American Division,” pride themselves on their toughness, they consult the chaplain of their faith when'they have personal problems, Just like other young Americans. “But make no mistake about it,” Sgt. Black says, “the U. S. Army Airborne is rugged, but it’s definitely not an all-work-no-play proposition. There’s plenty of off-duty time and 30 days vacation (leave) each year.”

Anno Mae Jones Services for Mrs Anna Male Jones, ^845 Rookwood, were held March 19 in Patton Funeral Home,

followed by cremation. She died March 13 in General Hospital. Bom in Georgia, Mrs. Jones had lived in Indianapolis 44 years. Survivors include four sisters, Mesdames Almarie Easterling, Milwaukee; Lou Jackson. Chattanooga and Fannie Fain. Dalton, Ga., and Miss Carrie Lee Jones, also of Dalton.

Clean-Up Campaign Is Key to More Profitable Future

A clean-up, paint-up, fix-up campaign not only makes present living more pleasant but it is a key to a more profitable future. As our community improves in appearance, health hazards are reduced and fire losses go down. It will be apparent to all that our citizens are progressive and civicminded. There will be an increase in economic activity. Tourists will be attracted by our beauty and cleanliness and will stop in Indianapolis for lunch or a day or two. And the money they spend during their stay will be another source of income for the community. WHEN INDUSTRIAL plants consider expansion of existing equipment or a new site, an expertly trained staff is sent to examine various communities. A clean, attractive city or town rates high because it is apparent that its citizens are interested in better living. And this attracts a fine type of employee who wants to raise his children in a healthy environment. The clean-up, paint-up, fix-up campaign is a specific road toward making our hopes of new enterprises a reality. It’s good business for every one of us and an investment for the future.
