Detective John Daniels reported that four men have been formally charged with contributing' to the delinquency of the Belmont Heights girl and 15 more face the same chdrcrc. DANIELS SAID the men ranged in age from 17 to 25 years of age and that already booked on the charge were: John A. Montgomery 17; William Brown. 25; Jerry Lee Bush, 20; and Earl Miller, 18. Bond was set at $300 each with trial set for Municipal Court. The girl ran away from home August 6th, Daniels said, and during a four-day period had relations with the 19 men. All four of the men said they met the girl at a diner where she told them that she had no place to stay. Montgomery is accused of taking her to a beach where he molested her, and the following night, Miller is alleged to have contributed to her delinquency. The girl is reported to have spent at least one night with each of the four men.
CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY CONFAB ADDRESSED BY LOCAL CHURCH LEADER ROANOKE, Va.—Rev. William K. Fox, director of special studies of the Church Federation of Greater Indianapolis, told the 45th national convention of the National Christian Missionary Convention that the “Negro Christian in America should be proud of the heritage of his race.” A member of the convention himself, he went on to urge the group to “enter unashamed alliance with every worthwhile effort to win full citizenship rights and responsibilties for all people.” “By cultivating his innate ability to express the things of the spirit and sharing and sharing this gift with others, the Negro could make significant contributions to American Christianity,” 1 Rev. Fox declared.

CINCINNATI—Charges against two local musicians’ unions, of limiting membership on the basis of race and color, will be heard at 10 A.M., Sept. 19, in the Hamilton County Courthouse by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. Members of both unions are charging each other with discriminatory practices. Both the Musicians Protective Union, Local 814, and the Cincinnati Musicians Association No. 1 are charged with limiting the employment opportunities of Negro musicians by restricting union membership. There are four white musicians in Local 814, among a total of 107 members. Alex Baker, president, says his union has resisted efforts to merge with No. 1, which has an all-white membership. Mr. Baker savs there has been no discrimination, that Local 814 has lower fees and that its members would have less voice in the bigger union, which has 1,100 mem-
bers.
Eugene Frey, president of No. 1, said that his union had proposed a merger which would have been effective Oct. 1. He said that the offer was refused by Local

“PULL THEM OUT ”, one man shouted: “I know it’s the FBI. One of them arrested me last week,” said another. When Frankhauser was placed in the car, several members of the crowd yelled, “Don’t let them take him! Block the street:” But the crowd was unable to keep pace with the car. The arrest occurred after an estimated 300 persons gathered in Almoni Park for a rally sponsored by the United Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. An attorney from nearby Stone Mountain, identified as James Venable, criticized the police for the arrest. He said that the Klan would boycott - anv school or lunch counter integrated in the future, and the Atlanta newspapers. Rev. Elkins, dressed in a red robe, also declared that Atlanta “needs some mothers like New Orleans” and urged mothers to keep their children from attending integrated schools.
“Back-to-School” and “Pedestrian Safety” are the combination safety educational programs being stressed throughout Indiana this month, advises the I N D I A N A TRAFFIC SAFETY FOUNDATION. More than one million youngsters of all ages will begin attending school early in September. An estimated 400,000 children will be traveling to and from school daily in school buses. Others will be walking, riding bikes, and some of the older will be driving motor vehicles. It all adds up to a very urgent and complex safety problem for school
these youngsters. Every effort should be made to alert motorists, and the youngsters themselves, to the hazards involved.
Be sure to get a passing grade when you are passing through school zones, says the INDIANA TRAFFIC SAFETY FOUNDATION. Reduce your speed and be especially alert when school children are present.
For drivers approaching young-
administrators, parents, police and i sters on foot, there is only one safe safety organizations. — ' r,n * nrm ^
School and enforcement officials need and deserve the full cooperation of every citizen in their efforts to provide the maximum safety for
