BEAM...THE WORLD'S FINEST BOURBON SINCE 1795
King Freed Goattnaea from nco l port for 1956 on April 15, 1957,” that he knew was not correct. Further the state charged that Dr. King reported his income as 9,150 when it actually was $16,282. This included $5,040 salary as pastor of Dexter Ave. Baptist | Church and $4,110 from hon-
orariums.
The defense counsel included Robert Ming, Chicago attorney; Judge Hubert Delany, New York; Arthur D. Shores, Birmingham attorney and Fred Gray and S. S. Seay, Jr., both of this city. Over objections of the defense counsel the state introduced 1957 and 1958 returns to show “intent” of Dr. King to allegedly understate his income. The defense insisted there was no way to show that the figures brought forward by the state were all taxable income. While on the witness stand Dr. King told how Lloyd D. Hale, state tax agent, told him (King) he was “pressured” into pushing the King tax case. The state had not given proper consideration to certain deductible expenses he was legally entitled to, Dr. King claimed. Mr. Hale who audited Dr. King’s returns (in 18 days after the state found out he was going to Georgia) admitted he had told Dr. King there was no evidence of
fraud. .
He admitted that changes had been made in the King returns after the minister was indicted last February, He said he did not know about the changes until the time of the trial. The trial which attracted not only nation-wide but some worldwide attention, was viewed as an outgrowth of Dr. King’s victory in the new memorable “Montgomery March” movement. This led to the city’s abandonment of its jimcrow public transit policies

YOU GO TO MY HEAD: Perhaps many of the 500 mile race fans at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Monday went wild over the excitement of lightning-fast cars in a duel of speed, but chances are Mrs. Maggie Moore was the only onlooker who let the race "go to her head," evidenced by the very unusual hat Mrs. Moore sported on the scene. Decorated with checked flags, midget racers and what appear to be nuts, this eye-opener drew the attention of hundreds.

The bed had already been dismantled and Ball was asleep on the mattress laid out on the floor. She said when she discovered the fire, she was unable to awaken Ball, and jumped out the window when she was afraid of being enveloped by the flames. Funeral services for Ball were held June 2 in Jacobs Brothers Eastside Chapel with burial in New Crown Cemetery.
Re-Light
Before You Re-Decorate If you’re planning to re-decorate or re-furnish your home—stop. You may be wasting your money! on interior decoration if you don’t first have the proper fixture lighting, reports the American Home
Lighting Institute.
"Shapes, , colors, textures, and
pattenrs become listless and fade into gloom in a poorly-lighted
room,” the institute said.

WHO SAYS MEN CAN T BABY-SIT?: Bennie Floyd (left and Bill Myers, members of the Mr. Enquire Club, demonstrate how easy it is to keep little tots cool, calm and collected. The simple fact that the boys are the girls' big brothers really doesn't make any difference. The boys are showing off their sisters to let people know that they are two of the 15 kiddres entered in the Mr. Esquire qnd Miss Voguettes Baby Contest. Gift certificates will be awarded the first three winners. Francesca Floyd occupies her big brother's knee while little Gloria Myers does the same. Reggie Cheatham is president of the Mr. Esquire Club; Robert Robinson is secretary and Bill Myers is treasurer. Miss Ann Pierson is president of the Miss Voguettes,
and Mrs. Lenora Malone is sponsor.
A DAY AT THE RACES: Probably the best way to enjoy any sporting event is to take something along with you to nibble on when all the excitement of the day causes the old stomach to growl. Mrs. William Warfield (right) seems to have prepared more than just a nibble as Wilber Olden listens to the race standings and gets ready to feast. The pair were among thoustands of "500" fans who packed 1 the Speedway grounds Monday.

Homeowners Often Puzzled By Materials A problem evr-rv homeowner
' r ’ust face eventually is deciding |
vhich building materials to use vhen his house needs maintenance or repairs, or when a major im-
provement is in o"der.
He must judge what material will suit his and his family’s.tastes, and what’s best for his style of architecture and his pocketbook Tf the building material is visible r 'rom the street, he must consider | >is neighbors and the community is a whole. Most important, he ; nust decide which material will give him the most quality, dollar ;

A case in point might be the homeowner whose house needs a ■rew roof. Four leading reasons why it’s important for him to choose a roofing material care-
fully are:
1. Weather resistance. More than any other part of the house, the roof must withstand weather’s oughest blows in all seasons— winter’s grinding ice and snow, mmmer’s baking heat, and high winds drenching rains throughout
the year.
2 Durability. A roof must be durable and long-lasting, providing years of sure piotection lor a uouse and iis contetus. 3. Beauty. On most homes, the roof is cne of the most visible exterior arears It should have beauty jnd color and be in good taste without sun gleam or glare. As pbalt snlngles in a tasteful color and rich texture enhance the beauty of a house and improve its appearance in the neighborhood. Application cost. A roofing contractor’s experience plus the time and tools required to apply a new rcof, can mean the difference between high and low cost. Most reliable roofers have applied asphalt shingles for yeara

ber of the Mayor’s Commission on Human Rights, confessed that “I don’t know of any accomplishment of the Mayor’s Commission, except that we have a safety valve in Indianapolis.” Mr. Cohen said in his view “the greatest revolutionary step in this country is the current desire to be treated as citizens by the 5-and-10-cent stores. When the Negro is willing to stand up and be counted for the rights of his children, he will succeed.” ATTY. WILLARD B. RANSOM rejoined that “Negroes have always fought for freedom, and through the long history of this country thousands of them have died for freedom.” “All the NAACP wants is to have the United States Constitution put into effect.” Ransome continued. “We don’t want to hear what happened in Russia and so forth—we want the American dream of equality to become real. If this is not what America stands for. then we’ve all been fooled!” REV. LAURENCE T. HOSIE, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Church Federation, told of his organization's interracial activities—including endorsement of the Southern sit-in strikes. REV. FORD GIBSON, NAACP state president, delivered an impassioned address in which he asserted that “there is no such thing as gradualism. “If discrimination should disappear tonight, we’d still be 150 years behind the

MARSH, president of the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance, observed: “Our whole society is responsible for the misdeeds of backward Negroes, and our whole society must bear the brunt of them. : Tf this means some difficulty in the schools, then the entire society must carry the burden.” Mrs. Jessie Jacobs served as mistress of ceremonies. Musical members were rendered by Mrs. Elsie Garrett and singing groups of Phillips Temple CME and Mt. Moriah Baptist Churches. Rev. E. T. Johnson took a collection of $27.30. Invocation was by Rev.
