Chairman of the Council during its first two years of op-
eration.
In announcing Mr. Spahr’s appointment, the Vice-Presi-dent, who is chairman of the
PCEEO, said:
“We are very grateful to Mr. Spahr for accepting this task. Serving as Chairman of this Advisory Council is not merely an honorary position. It requires a great deal of hard work on some very knotty problems. “I think it is a measure of Mr. Spahr’s commitment to the Plans for Progress program and to the concept of equal opportunity that he is willing to

ment Opportunity.
The Advisory Council is made up of 19 business executives from corporations active in the Plans for Progress Program. The Council works through several standing committees and a full-time Plans for Progress administrative staff, made up of executives loaned to the Federal Government by participating companies, to develop programs and direct activities that will foster equal employment opportunity throughout the economy.

important affairs to take up this challenge. “We are looking forward to two years of exciting accomplishment under his leader-
ship."
Earlier this year, Mr. Spahr was commended by President Johnson for his initative and leadership in arranging for 14 Cleveland-based firms to join the Plans for Progress program as a group. Mr. Spahr is a native of Kansas City, Kansas, and a graduate (B.S. dgeree in civil engineering, 1934) of the University of Kansas. He attended the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in 1937-38. He joined Sohio in 1939 and became its president on December 5, 1957. Vice-President Humphrey also paid tribute to the retiring chairman, Mr. Miller, for his leadership during the last two years. He said: “When Bill Miller helped us to organize the Advisory Council in 1963 and then agreed to serve as its first chairman, there were only about 100 companies in the program and there was little feeling of cohesiveness and direction on the part of the participants. “In two years, under his leadership, and that of Hobart Taylor, Jr., representing the Federal Government, Plans for Progress has been welded into a vital and lively program, encompassing 313 companies and extending its efforts and interest beyond equal employment opportunity to community relations, to training programs, to the quality of education available to minority citizens, and to the relationships between high schools and college and the business community. We are all grateful to him for his dedicated leadership.” Mr. Spahr will take over from Mr. Miller at the last August meeting of the Advisory Council in Washington.

The Los Angeles riots will be analyzed by a former Los Angeles policeman and Civil Rights activist at a public meeting to be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday evening, September 8th, at the Broadway Christian Center, 17th and Broadway Streets. The officer, Michael B. Hannon, 28, a veteran of seven years on the Los Angeles Police Force, has been highly critical of the attitude toward and treatment of Negroes by members of the LA. Police

The suit asked an audit of church funds from April 16, 1961 when Rev. Shuttlesworth became its pastor and requested the court to require the minister to turn over the church’s books and records, including
its roster.
The minister, also president of the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights and secretary of SCLC, is charged with usurping power of the church trustees and officers and assuming absolute authority of the church’s prop-
erty.
A stormy session developed during a recent service that brought the long-simmering situation out in the open. In its

Cummings: “Some get a house or two, a car or two, a good bank account, a dress or two, and they lose their perspective, but this was not true of Mr. Beckwith. “He kept the common touch and his name will go down in history as a great man because of the legacy he left behind. Continuing the Rev. Cummings said: “Most people think of funerals as sad, but he could not talk about death as Frank Beckwith enjoyed life . . . and he’s going into a new life that will last forever. He was unselfish and the last thing he thought of was self. He was a faithful Christian and never for-

"He kept the faith, and finished his course,” Rev. Cummings said in summing up Beck-
with’s career.”
The Rev. Solomon Benn read
the scripture — “Twenty-third Psalm”. . . the Rev. H. T. Toliver read the “One Hundred Twenty-first Psalm and the invocation was delivered by the Rev. Charles W. Holiday. Acknowledgements were read by Mrs. Ida Lyles and threeminute talks were given by Atty. Robert L Brokenburr, H. Dale Brown and the Revs. A. J.
