The top man has to command . . . persuade . . . push for action . . demand results. “He has to be the kind of man who won’t take no for an answer when the city’s life is at stake. “That is what this campaign is all about.” “If thi$ is a time that cries out for leadership at the top in city government, it is also a time that demands talent at all levels. We have many good
people in city government who have not been given enough support, but we need more . . . we need real talent, properly paid taint, blue-ribbon talent . . . the best. “IF ELECTED MAYOR, 1 will go. to some of the outstanding businesses and industries and law firms in Indianapolis and say we must “borrow” some of your bright young men and women and impress them into service to the city for one year, or two years. If we do not yet have the salary scales to compensate for their services and cannot budget for them, we ask that you make up the difference and preserve their seniority in their private careers. They must not be penalized but neither must the city’s progress be penalized while we are developing higher

SOLDIER OF THE WEEK: Specialist 4 Robert Clifton Brown, 21, a medic at the Fort Benjamin Harrison Post Hospital, has been featured as “Soldier of the Week” in the post-published newspaper, “Harrison Post.” Says the Post: “Brown is an easy-going, conscientious young man who is finding a personal satisfaction in rendering medical service to his fellowman.
Golay and Minnesota streets. “As soon as these new homes were completed and the new church got underway, the Barton Administration permitted a junk yard to move in next door to the new homes, right behind the new church,” Beatty charged. “This would not have been Permitted anywhere else in
the city.”
Beatty went on to point out that this same junk yard had operated in Beech Grove for years and was finally forced to leave because of code violations. Beatty did not refer to it, but other persons in the city have pointed out that all-white Beech Grove forced the junk yard out, and the Barton Administration permitted the junk yard to move into an all Negro area of brand new homes over the remonstrances of the owners of these homes and the lead-
ers of this area.
“How many children will die, how many homes will burn down before something is done about the total isolation of this area by the railroads? Beatty asked. Homes have burned and children have died in this neighborhood during the Barton Administration. However, Mayor Barton has done nothing about the situation which makes itt difficult for emergency vehicles to bring life-sav-ing services to this area.” • The Barrington area is served by railroad crossings at Keystone avenue. Bethel street, and Minnesota street. Many times during each day a long freight train blocks all three crossings

Continued from Page 1 He has marched and picketed for equal opportunities, and he has fought harder than anyone else for the thousands being displaced by the highways and other major construction programs.” “We are proud of his past service and are confident he will serve the people well as a member of the City Council. Rev. Sanders deserves the support of all Indianapolis,” Rev. Dennis concluded. Supporters of Rev. Sanders pointed out that the City ouncil election is conducted on an at-lar^e basis. This means that all voters in every section of the city have an opportunity to vote for Rev. Sanders. A native of Canton, Miss., Rev. Sanders has lived in Indianapolis 20 years. He first drew wide public attention in the mid-fifties when he formed the Fair Share Organization thru which he gained numerous jobs the city — except for that one-half-mile stretch bordering the all Negro section of the Barrington area. “Mr. Barton is mayor today because of the votes of the working people — including most of the people of this Southside community,” Beatty insists. However, from the beginning of his administration, he has reneged on his promises to these people, and for three complete years completely ignored them. “We must have a change.”
for Negroes in establishments patronized by Negroes of this city. He was effective in dealing with local banks and A & P Super Markets, which he and his group picketed. In recent months Rev. Sandere has Isd an unyielding fight against the state highway department and Indiana University Medical Center as these groups have forced people to sell their homes to accommodate the proposed inr,?r loop highway and university expansion. As Chairman of the Homes Before Highways Committee, Rev. Sanders has sought to gain fair treatment for the people being forced to give up their homes. He has demanded replacement value instead of assessed value for the homes being purchased, arguing that displaced families cannot obtain housing for the prices the highway department and I. U. have been forcing people to take. Rev. Sanders is vice president of the board of directors of Indianapolis Community Action Against Poverty, first vice president of the Westside NAACP, and vice president of the Indianapolis Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. He is a member of the Baptist Ministerial Alliance and the. Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance. TOOTHACHE 'Don’t suffer agony. In seconds get relief that lasts with ORA-JEL.
