Attucks grads to hear District Judge Parsons

The graduating class of Crispus Attucks High School will be addressed this year by The Honorable Judge James B. Parsons, Chicago, U.S. District Court judge.

shot him.

Approximately 350 persons attending a testimonial dinner Sunday honoring Archbishop John K. Amissah of Africa heard Bishop Joreph Gomez describe the civil rights movement as a “fight to save America from herself.” The prelate of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was principal speaker during the testimonial, a Catholic-sponsor-ed interracial, interfaith dinner. Climaxing a weekend of actixifies, the testimonial was held at the Columbia Club and was co-sponsored by Mrs. Matthew E. Welsh, wife of the governor, and Mrs. John J. Barton, wife of the mayor. Addressing the group. Bishop Gomez said, “We must win for the sake of the Negro, to be sure, but also for the sake of America, whose image remains blurred and distorted by the injustices perpetrated in America.” The AME prelate stated that the archbishop’s visit gave significant meaning to the civil rights battle now being waged in America and the strides toward freedom in all parts of the world. “It points to the great courage exhibited and suffering borne by the people of which he is a part—the land of Ghana,” Bishop Gomez said. “He and they remain as symbols of the eternal vigilance which is the price of liberty. “His presence lends encouragement, even as does the example of his people, to the civil rights proponents in the United States. He comes at a propitious hour when the battle rages in the Senate of the

United States.” A pontifical low mass was celebrated by Archbishop Amissah at SS Peter and Paul Cathedral. Portions of the mass were recited in English. Bishop Gomez and his wife were guest at St. Rita’s Catholic Church over the weekend, which all hailed as a part of the ecumenical movement. At the mass. Father Clarence Rivers of the Catholic University at Washington, D.C., preached the sermon in which he said the question was not “who is my neighbor, but rather, how can w r e get together or how can we survive together.” During the testimonial, the Right Rev. Cornelius B. Sweeney. chancellor of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis rendered the invocation. Rev. John N. LaBauve of the Divine World Missionary’introduced the principal speaker. Dr. Frank P. Lloyd, director of medical research at Methodist Hospital, presented the archbishop with a $3,000 check on behalf of local Catholic churches. Archbishop Amissah’s appearance here was sponsored by several Catholic parishes including Cathedral, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bridget, St. Rita's and Holy Angels.

niggers if I can.” Mullin took the stand Tuesday morning and denied making any remarks to Spradley. He said that he had put the $2 worth of gasoline in the victim’s car, but Spradley maintained only a dollar’s worth had been put in the tank. “However,” Mullin stated, “he did pay me for the gas and I v/ent back into the station. When 1 came back out he was still (here and made a derogatory remark. “He moved as if he was going to do me bodily harm. He had one hand in his inside coat pocket and another in his right outside coat pocket. This is when I pulled the gun and shot.” Mullin testified that he had left after Spradley called him a- name, but Spradley got into his car, drove a few feet and then got out and started toward him. He said he remembered shooting only twice and did not know he had shot the girl. Testitying as a character witness for Mullin was a wellknown local policeman, Patrolman Colon Chaney, who said he once worked with Mullin.

minority Iras a special understanding of what happens,” said Dr. Hawkins, “and this is my only talent in helping our church fulfill its responsibility.” In addition to the election of a Negro as head of the church, tiie assembly took legislative action forbidding local churches from refusing membership on the grounds of race. The church set aside $272,000 to support the civil rights movement. At the close of the assembly sessions, Rev. Hawkins began preparations for a brief tour of Europe and Africa. His itinerary will include visits to West Germany, East Africa, and perhaps a visit with Pope Paul VI in Rome. The latter stop he hopes to make in order to “further the whole climate of spirit which must bs built up before closer ties can be achieved between Protestants and Catholics.”

At last two more such meetings are scheduled which will involve Negro Democrats from the southern states and the western states.
