'Hall of Fame' By OSMA SPURLOCK
Who are the Negroes who have done things, who have achieved, who have been “firsts”? The Emancipation Centennial Exposition Authority is conducting a statewide search for Negroes to he featured in the “Indiana Hall of Fame” at the Emancipation Centennial Exposition, October 26, 2(», 27 in the Manufacturers Building at the State Fairgrounds at j Indianapolis. Indiana will be one ■ of the few states which will have its own separate Exposition. This I was made possible by an allocation of $20,000 from the Indiana General Assembly. While the allocation is not large enough to finance the Exposition, nevertheless, it gives the Indiana Emancipation Centennial Authority a good financial basis for planning. It is hoped that the Emancipation Centennial Exposition will: 1) create a new image of the Negro, both for himself and for the general public. 2) give a more accurate account of Negro history rather than the distortions which are found in most textbooks, 3) demonstrate that the total economic, political and social prosperity of the State of Indiana depends on the well-being of all citizens, regardless of race, color
or creed, and 1) motivate and ties, Cheatham, 1041 St. Peter, stimulate th'* citizens of Indiana, is a member of the Fail Creek young and old, to participate fully Parkway YMCA Board of Manin the total community life of ugement. He has served in that

J in Indianapolis to affect voluntary 1 oomnliance with the Indiana Civil | Rights Act in all deliberate speed.” The group suggested that all companies voluntarily sign a comoliance to the law and after 45 days the Mayor’s Commission should make a “progress report” stating to what extent the companies intend to comply to the I law. The third change sought by the group is an “executive order on fair employment practices in ali departments of city government.” Especially noted by the group in this area is the fact that Arthur Wake, a Negro, is acting director of the traffic division. Although he has held the post for about a year, Wake has never been appointed to it permanently. The Council asked that this be done immediately. Finally, the Council asked that the operating budget of the Mayor's Commission be raised from $12,370 to $25,00 so that the staff might be exnanded to meet ever-in-creasing needs. Added to the requests was a clause stating that reports should be made by the Mayor's Commission on the progress of integration. Mayor Losche promised to study and consider the group’s request after returning Thursday from a tour of the Army’s Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. The Council, headed by Herman Walker, executive director, and Rev. Andrew Brown, president, was formed recently at St. John Bantist Church. Members are styled a group of “rights-minded” local citizens dedicated to promotion of equality of opportunities on all fronts. The membership is open to any or all residents of greater Indianapolis. Offices are located at 1708 Martindale. Other officers include Atty. Willard B. Ransom, vice-president; William Porter, treasurer, and Faye Williams, secretary.
