GARY—Police here are checking for a syndicate connection in the slaying of a well-known gambling figure who was found shot to death Saturday in his modest frame home. The body of Jesse Funches, Brown Costles — a long-time gambling spot, was found crumpled in the living room of the dwelling. He had been shot in near the heart and through the left eye. Speculation also arose that Funches may have surprised a burglar in his home. Only a small amount of change and a expensive watch and ring were found on the body. Normally, gamblers of Funches’ stature carry large amounts of cash. The victim’s bedroom had been ransacked and later information that a large diamond ring was reportedly missing. But some police officials theorized the killer may have wanted it to appear the slaying occurred during a burglary to hide the real motive. It had been rumored that Funches had defied local syndicate orders to close down his gambling operations. Also, Funches had confided to a reporter for a Gary daily newspaper several months ago that he thought the national crime syndicate had infiltrated the small gambling outlets in
the city.

MRS. MALINDA H. NORTHINGTON .... Services set Saturday Funeral services for Mrs. Malinda Harden Northington, 58, were to be held Saturday at 1 p.m. in Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, where she was a member. Burial will be the Pee Dee Cemetery, Hopkinsville, Ky. Mrs. Northington died Sunday in her home, 1558 Cornell. A native of Hopkinsville, Mrs. of the land have been taken on
405 parcels.
In the Northwestern area of the project—the first leg to be undertaken — Ackelmire said that 500 dwellings are involved. Of these the sales have been closed for 122 parcels, and 20 families already have moved. The average price paid for these dwellings is $11,000, and Ackelmore said that in his opinion “the State Highway Commission is being fair
about it.”
The situation is bad enough for homeowners but it is even worse for renters, Ackelmire said, as no provision is being made for them. He urged citizens to put pressure on Mayor John Barton for city action to meet the housing problem. Following Ackelmire’s talk A. W. (Gus) Hamilton, a member of the Board of Zoning Appeals, explained zoning regulations. Others on the program were Rev. Fr. Raymond Hosier and Mrs. Eugene Selmanoff.

Executives asked to spread word of 'new day' WASHINGTON, D.C.—Successful Negro business executives were asked by Vice President Humphrey last week to spread the word that “a new day” had dawned for their race. “Half of the victory we seek is in the hearts of the persons who need the victory,’’ Humphrey told 65 Negro executives who have attained high positions in U.S. business. “After being told for 100 years to get to the back of the line and to the back of the bus,” he said, “when they do have a chance they are suspicious. The fact of the matter is there is a new day and we are having difficulty getting the word out.” The executives were brought here by the President’s Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity for briefings on speeches they will make in high schools and colleges across the country to encourage more Negro job applications. The speaking project, to start Thursday, will be sponsored jointly by the Federal government and more than 300 major business corporations. Northington had lived in Indianapolis 35 years. Survivors include a brother, McKinley Northington, and three sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Brown, Mrs. Georgia Smith and Mrs. Rayfield Cornelius Humphrey, all of Indianapolis. Friends may call at the King & King Funeral home after 5
tp.m. Friday.
