gers.”

However she added that the 1 children “ran in all directions” ; and the dog did not harm them. Mrs. Cook said the officers didn’t ask the suspect for any ; identification and, after telling her and the other residents to go to the Prosecutor’s office, drove him to the corner and re.eased him. But she said she did ask the man his name while he was in the patrol car. "But still I don’t know if that’s his name or not.” she noted. “If i the officers had asked him he might have given them another name.” Warrants charging disorderly conduct and drawing a deadly weapon were filed against Bell Monday evening, but had not been served as The Recorder went to press Thursday afternoon.

Miss Thej resa Crockett, also of 2109 j Pleasant, reported that she had an encounter with the same subject at about 5:30 p.m. “I was going to Prospect to the store with two other women neighbors.” Miss Crockett reported. “We passed the car in the 1000 block of Harlan and as we passed he said, ‘Hello boys and girls.’ “I told him he didn’t see any boys and he did say something but we had passed the car and couldn’t make out what he said “On the way back from the store, we had to stop for him as we crossed Prospect and he said, ‘Hey you black ,’ and sped on down the street.” Scheduled to make the complaints were Miss Crockett and

Fair housing Continued from Page 1 Speculation arose tfiat J. Griffin Crump, executive director of the Mayor’s Human Relations Commission, may have been involved. Presently, 17 states have such legislation, (»4 cities have such ordinances and 16 cities have similar ones. In Indiana, a measure like this one is pending before South Bend’s City Council. Among major practices outlawed in the proposal is the refusal of real estate agents, salesmen, owners or housing agents to sell to an individual because of race, creed or religion. It also dooms the practice of home owners to discriminate in the furnishing of homes and for agents, salesmen, etc., to publish or circulate advertisement specifying racially segregated dwellings. It will also be unlawful for any lending institution to discriminate in lending money, guaranteeing loans, accepting mortgages, or otherwise making available funds lor the purchase. acquisition, construction, rehabilitation, repair or maintenance of any housing unit. Bias in the establishment of a value for a housing unit by an appraiser will also be a law violation. Any person or group termed guilty of either offense will be subject to $100 fine and 30 days imprisonment. Enforcement powers will rest with the Human Relations Commission.

ATLANTA (ANP) — President Lyndon B. Johnson Friday wound up his six-state tour of the poverty-stricken Appalachian region with a dramatic speech to Georgia legislators at a breakfast meeting here, where he talked sense, logic and the facts of racial justice to the lawmakers, and took an indirect slap at Gov. George C. Wallace. The President, in his folksy, direct manner, called on Southerners to support efforts to bring racial justice and equality to all, and to reject the shrill cry to those who try to mislead them into thinking they can turn back the clock of time. He said the rights of all people must be protected “because the (U.S.) Constitution requires it—and because justice demands it.” The President did not mention Wallace by name, hut took this indirect slap of the segregationist Alabama governor: “Those who call for extreme solutions can bring us only discord and disarray. They tell us to stand upon our rights, but they fail to tell us how to meet our responsibilities. “So heed not those who come waving the tattered and discredited banners of the past, who seek to stir old hostilities and kindle old hatreds, who preach battle between neighbors and bitterness between

states.

“That is the way back toward the anguish from which we came.’’ It was plain that the President was asking Southerners to discard old Confederates notions and prejudices based on so-called heritage and customs. Concerning “Southern heritage,” the President asked his audience to make -a choice between that and true Americanism. saying: “You bear the mark of a southern heritage, but that which is southern is far less important than that which is American.” The President must have sensed that he was addressing perhaps the most important, or at least, most influential, people in Georgia—the lawmakers —and he used the occasion to good advantage. He was given a tremendous ovation both upon arriving here to conclude his Appalachian tour, and during his breakfast speech. In fact, thi President scored a tremendous hit during the entire tour, w’hich included visits to Cumberland, Md., Martinsburg, W. Va., Columbus, Ohio, Athens, Ohio, Knoxville, Tenn., Seymour Johnson Air Base, N.C., Rocky Mount, N.C., and Atlanta. During the tour he spoke to, and shook the hands of plain folks, as well as the prominent. He made the tour to plug for his anti-poverty program, which includes a $228,000,000 proposal for the Appalachian

uplift.

AMEZs clash

Continued from Page 1 dates. In other action the ministers and laymen’s association passed a resolution to re-organize .various departments within the church and the church itself. The association said that in a meeting held April 10, “we found unanimous agreement that much of our denominational structure is archaic, obsolete, and that there is apparent overlapping and duplication of departmental functions.” The resolution called for the election of a 25-member commission to make a study of the denominational structure of the church and to submit a plan for the overall re-organization of the AME Zion Church. Under the resolution, the plan would be submitted to the Connectional Council in August of 1966 and the council, after approval, would submit it to the quadrennial session of general conference in May of 1968. In another resolution the conference authorized its Christian Education Department to give greater emphasis to the use of scouting programs in the entire AME Zion denomination. The resolution also called for the department’s budget be adjusted to include a division of scouting. In an address Friday, Bishop Reuben H. Meuller, president of the National Council of Churches of Christ, USA, told delegates that the white man is a world minority and “it will be as much to his advantage as to other races for all of them to live peacefully together.” Bishop Meuller also told listeners that his church, Evangelical Church of the Brethren, are scheduled to meet in joint session with the 1 Methodist Church in a special general conference, May, 1966, to consider, organic union. He urged leaders of the AME Zion to seek a merger with the African Methodist Episcopal and Christian Methodist Episcopal Churches. At that time, Bishop R. L. Jones, who presided at the meet, informed Bishop Meuller that the denomination had held top level meetings to consider the proposal, and that the conierence would appoint a commission to meet with church representatives from the other two denominations. Before Bishop Meuller’s ad-

NAACP branch

Continued from Fage 1 plants and showrpoms throughout the state, but were postponed. Herbert Hill, labor secretary, announced plans for the national protest during the NAACP’s regional conference here last month. Local branches at first failed to designate a date for demonstrations in Indiana because of the May 5 presidential preference primary. Further talks have also been planned by NAACP executives and General Motors heads.

dresss. Governor Matthew E. Welsh spoke to the delegates. Referring to his recent stand against Alabama’s . Governor George C. Wallace, Welsh said his campaign against the segregationist governor was a continuation of Indiana’s stand for human dignity, dating back to the Civil War. “Making the Constitution real and meaningful to all Americans, regardless of race or color is one goal,” the Indiana Governor stated, “but the Federal government must stand supreme over state governments, in order for people, in all sections of the country, to get justice and equality before the law.” During Mother’s Day ceremonies, Bishop W. M. Smith of Mobile, Ala., made a blistering attack on what he called the “seemingly accepted decline in respect for women.” He stated: “For 1900 years men have bowed to and adored women; it remained for the 20th Century to pull her down and make her like a man. We say we make her equal now, but there was a time when she was superior. “The 20th century tolerance has won for women the right to become intoxicated, the right to smoke in public and right to be half-dressed. We call it progress. No people ever became great by lowering standards.” He said both men and women should “take courage from those dignified people of Montgomery, Ala., who walked 365 days for human dignity.” The bishop termed Gov. Wallace and Sen. James Eastland of Mississippi as “road blocks in the path of democracy loving people.” However he added he did not see them as deterrents to the cause of freedom because “the Negro is on the march and will not turn back, for he has heard of a city called freedom and has started to make it his home.” Indiana State Senator Robert Lee Brokenburr was presented en award Sunday as the only

surviving incorporator of the Board of Foreign Missions. The conference Degan May 6 and is scheduled to close May 20. Headquarters for the conference is Jones Tabernacle AME Zion Church, of which Dr. Pierce is pastor, with sessions in the Farmers Building at the State Fairgrounds.
