excluded from the law, he added. * The director said the Commission felt it did not need to push for repeal of the ban on interracial marriages because other groups, both Negro and white, had expressed interest in sponsoring such a proopsal.

races to marry.

In its report issued Tuesday, the Commission focused on housing. Turning however to schools, the report said: A study of the distribution of the approximately 2000 Negro public school teachers presently employed in the 36 cities with the largest non-white populations in the state indicated that “many public school systems in communities with a non-white population are not employing non-whites as teachers or as other personnel in any significant numbers. “The vast majority of Negro teachers were found to be employed in the six Indiana cities with 9,000 or more non-whites. They were Indianapolis, Gary, East Chicago, South Bend, Ft. Wayne, and Evansville.

Continued from Page 1 years, Lieut. Spurgeon Davenport, head of the police homicide branch, said Mrs. Jones seems to be unaware of her surroundings. “When we bring her up here to question her, she doesn’t seem to know what we are talking about,” Davenport related. He said in all probability Mrs. Jones would be indicated by the grand jury and then examined by a court-appointed psychiatrist to determine whether or not she was legally sane at the time of the shooting. She appeared Thursday in Municipal Court Room 4 where a preliminary charge of murder was dropped. Det. Sgt. Patrick Uberta then filed an outright murder charge against Mrs. Jones. Judge William Sharp bound her over to the grand jury and ordered Mrs. Jones held without bond in the county jail.

Continued from Pag* X Johnson to include in this proposed program talented^ Negro soloists and small vocal ensembles and groups. ACCOMPANYING the clergymen, these musicians would offer Negro spirituals and songs of faith identified with The Negro’s uphill struggle. “This ' combination would accomplish far more than some of the college professors and special representatives who are sent abroad by our State Department and are, at times, met with resentment, hostility or misunderstanding.” The writer said he /has noted the desire of Europeans to see and hear many of the white clergymen who have been identified with the civil rights movement, even to the extent of going to jail. However, he indicated that he felt that organizations like the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA and the National Conference of Christians and Jews could best spearhead a program which would send these men into other countries for key speaking engagements. The Zion Methodist minister, who is an invited guest to the inauguration of President Johnson and Vice President-elect Humphrey on Jan. 20, has asked for an audience with appropriate key government officials in Washington that week in order that he might further define his

proposals.

Rev. Gordon also plans to seek the counsel of three of his friends. Congressman John Brademas (D-Ind.) and Indiana’s U.S. Senators Birch Bayh and Vance Hartke.

Mme. Walker names Stephen A. Sayles Jr., as representative

PATRONIZE RECORDER ADVERTISERS

STEPHEN A. SAYLES JR. ... New Sales Representative The Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company has announced the appointment of Stephen A. Sayles Jr., as sales representative for the Chicago and Midwest areas, with special national assignments to be carried out during the year. In his new post he will call upon wholesale and retail accounts, beauty salons and beauty schools, and will represent the company at trade shows and at clinics and demonstrations. Sayles is a native of Chicago and is continuing his studies at Loyola University, working toward his BA degree. He is the son of Mrs. Emma Sayles, principal of the Mme. C. J. Walker Beauty College of Chicago.

were his customers. He had a gospel show on the local radio station every Sunday morning and he urged everyone to go to church. All Frank ever did to any white person was to give out toy baloons to their children when they came to hi* shop. Other than that he minded his own business. ■ Why was he soaked with gasoline and set afire? Some people around here say that a Negro had to be made an example of, and since Frank was well known in town, he was the best target. White folks around here have been saying lately that they are getting afraid of the “niggers.” They fear an uprising is going to come soon. So they have been buying weapons and stocRinik up on ammunition. Right across the river from this town sits Natchez, a hotbed of racial activity. The Klan burns , crosses and Negroes mysteriously disappear. In this town and throughout the Parish (Concordia) the Klan acts as if it is Reconstruction time. In July, in Vidalia, the parish seat, 24-year-old Joseph Edwards disappeared in the night. His car was found in Ferriday unclaimed. j Evert though there is a large Negro population here and in the parish, there has been no civil rights activity. Negroes have kept to themselves and minded their own business, but the whites • nevertheless seem afraid of what might come one day. There were people sleeping in buildings around Frank’s shoeshop that night. No one will say anything. No one will confirm that he heard an explosion. And Frank wasn’t alone that night either. “FRANK’S grandson and someone else were in the rear of the building at the time, but nobody knows where they are,” says my informant. “Two or three people have left town over thijsjjjking.” Accortmg to some of the few who \ will talk. Frank said cxi tape to the FBI that fhe had discovered two white men dousing his shop with gasoline. When he tried to get away from the building they caught him and forced him back into the shop. Meanwhile, all the whites are denying that it is foul play. “I’d be shocked if it is foul play,” said Gov. John MeKeithen. “While I disagree with the civil rights law, we don’t resort to murder and mayhem in any attempt to circumvent it. The people in Ferriday that I’ve talked to don’t believe there bus been any foul play.” But there’s the testimony of Frank’s shop lying in ruins. The bare skeltons of his sewing machines are stark against the clear Louisiana sky. The burnt and charred shoes of both white and Negro are now indistiquishable from any color but the color black.
