NEGRO
in America today
Have Negroes shared proportionately in America's prosperity of the past two decades? How do Negroes feel about the “advances” they've made in recent years? Why is the NAACP under attack from an increasing number of Negroes? Why do the Black Muslims condemn Martin Luther King as well as the “white devils”? Why do many Negroes consider the UJL Government “one of the chief culprits” in denying them better housing? In what field has the Negro made his greatest progress? In Look magazine's revealing, picture-packed 12-page article, “The Negro In America Today," you’ll get some provocative answers. It’s at your newsstands now.

Stiffer Penalty Sought in Crimes Against Children A stiffer penalty for persons convicted of molesting children was urged last week by Judge Thomas J. Fa^ilconer of Criminal Court 2. In a letter to State Rep. L. Keith Bulen <R. Indpls.), chairman of the Criminal Code Study Committee of the state legislature, Judge Faulconer asked the committee to stiffen the penalty from l-to-5 years on first conviction of child molesting to at least 2-to-5 years. Faulconer also asked the committee to provide for the appointment of pauper attorneys in the Municipal Courts.
Elizabeth Watts
Faulconer said, “An indigent person languishes in jail unrepre- j sented by counsel from four to I six months from the time of his arrest, through his preliminary hearing in Municipal Court and the hearing of his case by the; grand jury.” “Pauper attorneys would greatly speed up our cases in that I feel | many cases would be disposed of in Municipal Court at preliminary hearings,” Faulconer said. - j “During the time the case is waiting for the grand jury action, the attorney could be'investigating the case and this information would be helpful to the public defender in Criminal Court.”
Funeral services for Mrs. "Elizabeth Watts, 72, 2153 N. Park, who died March 19 in General Hospital, were held March 23 in the Mark D.

Junia Foxall
Funeral services for Junia Fotfall, 59, who died March 21 in General Hospital, were held March 24 in King & King Funeral Home, with burial in Crown Hill Cemetery.

OLIVIA McGEE
resent the Scrollers Club in the annual Kappa-Omega Queen Contest and Kabaret Dance to be held March 31 at Masonic Temple, 653 N. West. The contest will follow an 8:30 p.m. basketball game between the Kappas and Omegas in the Attucks High School gymnasium. The dance, sponsored by the two rival fraternities, will be held from 12 to 4 a.m. The Scrollers Club is a pledge group of the Kappa fraternity. Miss James, a 21-year-old former Indiana University Extension student, is being co-sponsored in the contest by the Intercollegiate Club of Indianapolis, of which she is a member and chairman of its Board of Membership. One of Ina’s favorite hobbies is dress making and she will wear one of the dresses she designed and made at the dance, it was reported. She also likes to swim. A member of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, Ina is presently employed as an office secretary at the Christian Theological Seminary. It was not learned immediately who the other four Kappa choices are, but it’s a fact that Miss Ann Miles, the 1961 queen, will be on hand to crown the winner of this year’s competition. A good bet. * * * LETTER FROM A Reader: “I want you to know how much I enjoy reading your column but why don’t you write more about serious things and not so much about these sordid stories about people’s mixed-up lives ? “You have a wonderful talent but I’m afraid you’re not taking full advantage of it. “I do like you, though.”.
READER: I’d like to write about “serious things” every day. Unfortunately, there is so much I’ve yet to learn about newspaper writing in general. Writing about people’s mix-up lives has always been a major part of the newspaper’s make-up, and can give the young reporter a much broader outlook concerning matters both serious and non-serious.
