Congress, Weaver said that President Franklin D. Roosevelt had sent greetings to the Congress, the mayor of Philadelphia attendded in person and the lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania spoke. Under questioning, Weaver said he did not participate in the Third National Negro Congress held in Washington in 1940. But he said he attended a session at which union leader A. Phillip Randolph spoke. Dr. Weaver said he might have been a sponsor in 1944 of a testimonial dinner for Ferdinand C. Smith, who later was ousted from the National Maritime Union for alleeed Communist learnings. He said he admired Smith for his heio for Negro unionists rather than for his “ideology.” He also stated that, while he believes in “open occunancy” of all federally supported housing, he wopld carry out as housing administrator whatever policy is laid down by Congress and the President on the touchy issue of integration in federal housing projects. Sen. Robertson had said prior to Weaver’s confirmation that he had received “a number of complaints touching on” Weaver’s loyalty and “in fairness to him I felt I should bring that to the attention of the President.” The Virginian said the White House did send him the FBI files on Weaver but that did not satisfy him. He continued to insist on the lettdr from Kennedy. The message from Kennedy came shortly after, ■and Weaver

When you get hungry. just se€ where you will he able to eat. And when you get tired, you will not be able to find lodging for the night.” Others urging the Labor Committee to act favorably on the bills included Senators Jack H. Mankin and V. Dewey Annakin of Terre Haute, authors of Senate Bill 116; Atity. Rufus C. Kuykendall, chairman of the Indiana Conference on Civil Rights Legislation; Father Raymond E. Hosier, Catholic Interracial Council; Atty. John Preston Ward. Indiana 'Civil Liberties Union; Jacob R. Roberts, Indiana State CIO-AFL; Rev. Andrew J. Brown Indianapolis NAACP; Jor* mer State Representative Andrew Jacobs Jr.; Miles H. Loyd, Negro American Labor Council; Merrill Cohen, Mayor's Commission on Human Rights. THE “LONESOME OPPONENTS,” who had ro audible support in the gathering, were Frank C. McAlister, who spoke for the Indiana Chamber of Commerce; and A. J. Schneider, perennial letter-writer to the newspapers and letter-writer to the newspapers who represented the Indians Property Owners’ Association. After the public departed, the Labor Committee lost no time in voting to send S.B. 116 and S.B. 108 to the Senate with recommendation for passage. The committee held S.B. 206, temporarily without a report. LATER IN THE WEEK the friends of Civil Rights decided to “forget” S.B. 206 (BrokenburrDickinson Bill) and to concentrate full support behind S.B. 116 and S.B. 108. These are Welsh Administration bills which have practically the same provisions as S.B. 206. “The Brokenburr-Dickinson Bill was introduced for reasons of strategy, and the purpose of the move has now been achieved,” explained Mrs. Jessie Jacobs, civil rights lobbyist. Senator Brokenburr placed his name on S.B. 116, in order to give it bi-partisan backing, and was expected to do the same for S.B. 108. 2 CORRECTION: Funeral serviees'for Andrew “Pie” Brown were held at Willis Mortuary instead of Stuart Mortuary as an article read last week. after appearing in the witness chair, was cleared for the federal housing post.

Funds Needed to Aid Distressed ■ 5 By A STAFF WRITER During the past week The Recorder has received numerous ca’ls for funds from distressed and destitute families who have small children with both parents are either laid off or are unable to find employment. These consistent pleas for help have touched the hearts of employees here but they are unable to do anything by themselves to help these needy families. The Recorder Charities funds are simply exhausted because so many more pleas were received during the Christmas hoMdays from families needing aid in order that their children might have a Merry Christmas like others. Groups and organizations can give funds to The Indiapapolis Recorder Charities in order ohat extreme’y despondent families might be given aid now since they unlikely will not get It no other way. Cases like these are in the hands of those affected who must help deviate he’aless conditions. Only recently Dr. Guy S. Grant, president of The Recorder charities was In the ofttco saying that he felt more aersons should support the Charities and urging citizens to make their contributions for such a worthwhile cause. He asks for additional funds now. It is up to you Mr. and Mrs. Indianapolis what wi T I become of the small, helpless children, some of whom are Hungry and unable to go to school because they lack proper clothing. What will their future be? To whom will they turn? f they can not get assistance from you chances are they might have to be separated from their parents in order that they might get the necessities of life so vital to all of us. If you are interested in giving *""ds or other aids to help curb this condition mail or write. The Indianapolis Recorder, 518 Indiana or phone ME. 4-1545. Anything you do will help explain to unfortunate mothers when -f- nu r office crying and simply pitiful asking for help and "Sorry no funds are available.”

Milo Murray, defense attorney; asked the judge for leniency. He declared that despite Powell’s com viction by a jury Jan. 21, he sincerely believed Powell was im nocent. ‘ ’ “If I thought he was guilty, 1 would have filed a defense motion of insanity,” added Murrayi The attorney said Powell rented the garage across the street frorq his office on Broadway. He kept his car there, and “I observed hint almost every day displaying 4 determination to become a good

citizen,” Murray said.

Powell was asked by the judgq whether he had anything to say before sentence was passed; Powell answered he had no comment to make. Last month at his trial, Powell took the stand to vigorously deny all the ac-
