THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

April 25, 1964

Holdups, violence increases with onset of warmer weather

Cutting, beatings and holdups marred the weekend as the onset of warmer weather brought a noticeable increase in local muggings and other crimes. At least three persons were victims of knifings during separate incidents which resulted in the apprehension and the arrest of two suspects. Officers summoned to 1716 Keystone around 7:30 p.m. Saturday found William T. Bradon, 21. 1961 Alvord, suffering from knife slashes about the throat

and back.

He fingered as his assailant 50-year-old Charles Williams, 1963 Alvord, who was also found at the Keystone address. Williams was taken into custody on a preliminary charge of assault and battery with intent to murder. Sherman Sharp, 45, 2133 Shriver, was arrested on a similar charge around 11:30 p.m. Sunday after being accused of stabbing Lovie French, 55, 2146

Shriver.

Another weekend cutting vic-

tim was Andrew Bryant, 25, 1914 Beliefont'aine, who said he was attacked by a razor-wield-ing youth at 19th and Yandes. Bryant’s throat was cut. Eugene Croon, 51, 1930 Ludlow, complained to officers that he was viciously beaten by four young men as he walked near Hillside and Caroline late Saturday night. The Police Department’s continued crackdown on vice resulted in the arrest of seven persons Saturday during a predawn raid at 1406 Carrollton. Among those nabbed was James Hurt, 49, 1406 Carrollton, who was charged with keeping a dive. His six companions were booked for visiting a dive. Police confiscated a mere $1.66 and a pair of dice.

The Barrington Child Care Center and Day Nursery, opened last weekend at 1502 Renton Avenue, has been labeled “one of the best designed and best equipped nursery in the entire state.’’ The c'enter meets all standards of the Indiana State Department of Public Welfare, Indiana State Fire Marshall, Indiana State Board of Health, and the Marion County Board of Zoning. It is presently in the process of being licensed by the

state.

Robert D. DeFrantz, wellknown local social worker who until recently was on the staff of the Children’s Division of the .Indiana Department of Public Welfare, praised the Barrington nursery during the open house last Sunday. The welfare department licenses all nurseries which meet the standards prescribed by law, and Mr. DeFrantz has personally inspected licensed nurseries throughout the state as a staff member. “Barrington is one of the few nurseries in the state designed and constructed specifically as a nursery,” Mr. QeFrantz asserted. “Most nurseries are converted houses with room-to-room activities which do not permit pjroper supervision by staff members of the nurseries.” Mr. and Mrs. Isham G. Benton, are the owners of Barrington nursery and Mrs. Benton is the director. A graduate of Indiana Central Business College, Mrs. Benton served for three years as a member of the faculty of the All Souls Unitarian Church kinderg|*ten. She has been a member of the Board of Religious Education, and was em-* ployed as a stenographer wjth the Indiana State Revenue Department. The Bentons are the parents of two children. The Barrington nursery is built on an “open area” concept with almost 1,000 square feet of space open for the active play of the children. Beautifully decorated, the walls are bright yellow, the ceiling is white, and the vinyl floors are yellow. Curtains throughout are decorated with nursery rhyme scenes, and plaques spotlight the walls in certain areas. Enhancing the design are specially constructed, formicatopped work areas stretched around three walls. Here the children will sit in their modern chairs and work in clay and paint, and pursue a well defined program of learning. Each child will be furnished a cot for his afternoon nap. The cots are covered with waterproofed nylon, and are stack-

able.

During the free play periods rthrotifh the day the effafrs and cots, and also adjustable tables will be stacked and stored so i the maximum play area will be available. Hot lunches will be served the children daily at the Bar-

rington Child Care Center. Menus are supervised by a dietician in the children’s Division of the state welfare department. In addition the childreiv will be given a morning snack, and an afternoon snack. An isolated room has been set aside and furnished at the nursery to meet any emergency that should arise because of the sudden illness of any child. Dr. Robert C. Collins, wellknown local physician, is the nursery doctor and will be available in any emergency. In addition the nursery Is within easy distance of St. Francis Hospital and a car wall always be available, for the transportation of any child needing emergency hospital treatment. The kitchen facilities have been constructed in accordance to the requirements of the State Board of Health. Special dish washing facilities have been installed and dishes will be washed, and food served according to the techniques prescribed by the state agencies. Many programs designed for the educational enrichment of the children attending the school have been planned, with nature study and visits to fire stations and other places of

interest.

The public is invited to attend the grand opening of the Barrington Child Care Center Saturday and Sunday, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

MANGE ELECTEn ‘FIRST’ JUDGE

iffes:

PHIL BAYT was the first Indianapolis Mayor (in 1958) to approve and fight for a substantial budget ($12,500) for the Mayor’s Commission on Human Rights. • PHIL BAYT was the first Mayor to break the color barrier in City Hall by appointing Negroes to ranking posts in almost every top City Hall Division including his own staff.

PHIL BAYT was the first Prosecutor to name a Negro to his staff of fulltime investigators, of which there were only 3. • PHIL BAYT named 6 other Negroes, chosen for merit and not for race, to the Prosecutor’s staff. • PHIL BAYT personally encouraged and vigorously backed the candidacy of Mercer Mance to help him become the first Negro ever elected a Judge in Marion County. PHIL BAYT sponsored the election of Clarence Bolden as secretary of the Marion County Democratic Committee— the first Negro ever named as an officer of the County Committee. • PHIL BAYT was the first Cnairman (in 1956) of Indianapolis Brotherhood Week, and served again the following year because of his vigorous work for “brotherhood as a 365-day-a-year job.” PHIL BAYT was the first police court judge to do something about police brutality. He personally launched an investigation resulting in the suspension of a policeman for brutal treatment of prisoners. • PHIL BAYT was the first prosecutor ever to authorize issuance of an affidavit for refusal to serve Negroes, followed by arrests and vigorous prosecution.

Nichols also faces a civil suit the misappropriation charge by a church court and ordered suspended. In the trial here last week, the prosecution laid great stress on the charge that Nichols had opened a corporation account and placed church funds in it without authority. Defense Atty. Levy, on the other hand, argued that all church funds were handled properly by Nichols and that this was supported by the testimony of auditors. The jury, however, sided with the prosecution. The contended misappropriation occured nearly 10 years ago when Nichols was a member of the Board of Bishops. Nichols became an AME bishop in 1940, the youngest minister ever to reach that rank in the history of the church started by Bishop Richard Allen (1816).' Bishop Nichols embarked upon a colorful career which saw him become a strong-willed prelate arid able administrator but also a controversial figure. There are those who insist that in recent years Nichols had more power than any other prelate on the bishops’ board. One AME minister described him as the church’s “former archbishop.” In the first district, Nichols got into hassles with ministers and an educator—Dr. Charles L. Hill, president of the AMEsponsored Wilberforce University. Dr. Hill wrote the then head of the Bishops Council in 1954 asking that the council do something about a total of $8,000 he said Nichols was withholding from the univer-

sity.

But Nichols was successful as an administrator, and later became an ardent civil rights fighter, pushing his church to support the new militancy that was sweeping the nation. As an administrator, for instance, he wiped out a $80,000 mortgage indebtedness at Payne College and spent over $50,000 on new campus buildings as well as raising the quality of education at the school. Nichols is a graduate of Howard University and Drew Theological seminary, Madison, N.J. He pastored in New York, at one time heading a 1,000member congregation, before his elevation to the Episcopacy.
