Baldwin says churches ‘betray’ black people
UPPSAL A. Sweden - James Baldwin. Mack novelist, whose books have scorched racial injustices delivered a strong attack on Christian churches for “betrayal" of black people at a meeting here recently. The meeting was sponsored by the annual world council of churches Assembly. “I tremble for the da> when some non white Last Asian nation begin to pay' the west back, "said Baldwin, a store front preacher in his youth, “We will have a long bloody bill to
pay." He noted that Stokely Carmichael, the militant civil rights leader, began as a sincere Christian but became tired “petitioning." He descirbed Carmichael as perhaps a racist, but “not nearly so dangerous as the government of South Africa or as some of the people governing my country, nobably former Governor George Wallace of Alabama. “The public morality under which we life is inadequate to what to live with now, in the

He said the local aspect of the convention will also set up community action programs. Rockefeller CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 good Republican Governor who believes in free enterprise and strong local government, and who looks forward to a competitive convention." Among other top-rated Republicans over the state, on hand to greet Gov. Rockefeller, were: Buena Chanev. GOP state chairman; Edgar D. Whitcomb, nominee for governor; State Treasurer, John K. Snyder; Walter Beardsley, former national committeeman and former U.S. Sen. Homer E. Capehart. Elsewhere, Gov. John A. Love of Colorado endorsed Rockefeller, even though the odds against his winning were “rather long." A group of 300 persons, a national finance committee, headed by John H. Whitney was announced on Tuesday of this week. The group includes: James A. Linen, president of Time Inc.; August Belmont of Dillon, Reed & Co., and among others Arthur II. Dean of the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm in Wall Street. The group also includes businessmen in the South or others in all parts of the country. Thomas W. Braden, Oceanside, Calif., is a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. His wife is a co-chairman of People for Rockefeller, a citizen's group. A group known as Black independents and Democrats for Rockefeller has been organized, in New York recently. Leaders of the group among others, include: " James Farmer, former national director of CORE: Omar Ahmed, an associate of the late Malcolm X and co chairman of last summer's Black Power conference and Mrs. Arthur C. Logan, a member of the board of directors of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Leaders of the new group also include the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., father of the assassinated civil rights lead-
er.
Arthur Duckett, national chairman of the group and director of the Associated Negro Press observed that the organization established to support Gov. Rockefeller’s bid for the GOP Presidential nomination was not one of groups but of “interested individuals."
In a series of multiple actions this week, the Ethics Committee of the Indianapolis Real Estate Brokers Association, Inc.,Realists, launched a campaign designed to eliminate unllcenses persons and agencies, governmental and private, from the practice of real estate and engaging in competition with licensed professional agents, in violation of the Indiana Real Estate License Law. The Realtists have asked FHA Director Alan Dale to return immediate access to all of FHA’s repossessed properties to real estate brokers for sale, and to Realtistsin time for their new Housing Coonseling Service, the first of which will be held Saturday and Sunday, July 27-28, at the Fall Creek YMCA from 12 to 6p.m. Properlylicensedby the state, Realtists are particularly well-trained and experienced in assisting the public in all its housing needs and are taking their won counseling service directly to the public. Of equal importance, the Ethics committee notified Harold O. Hatcher, director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission of two requests to the association for assistance involving cases in which those involved feel that they have not received justice inprocessing their complaints to the commission, and a complaint by a Realtist involving questions, improper ethics and possible staff violations of the Real Estate License Lav/. The Negro professional real estate broker is now forced to fight for that share of thehousing business to which he has been confined by tradition-the Negro housing business, for there is no indication that in the immediate forseeable future, any large numbers of non-Negro home sellers and home buyers will suddenly recognize the Negro broker as an equally efficient, efficient and qualified professional and afford him equal access to the total housing market. It has been suggested that volunteers and agencies engaged in housing service, particularly involving sales, find new avenues that the Negrobroker cannot reach instead of encroaching in the areas already established by him.

an engagement at Starlight Musicals, and Mayor Richard G. Lugar. It was only a few months ago that Lands, now affiliated with Flanner House, submitted his proposal. When he first began rennovatlon of the vacant Avenue building, it was the boys and girls of the neighborhood who willingly came forward offering their hands, and according to Lands, it has been that way ever since. “We're still in need of volunteer painters and carpenters but so far no one has offered to help. People have come over to hang around but as far as wanting something to do, we have had no volunteers. Some come seeking jobs," he explained. It is hard for him to understand the difficulty in getting people involved in something meant to benefit them: “This is something more important than giving money. This is a moral thing. It's part of their community and it’s difficult to do anything without the support of the communi-
ty."
On the other hand, the former gridder was devout in his praise for the children. When they first arrived at “Our Place" and m eetings were held, the sessions often sounded like shouting matches. Now, Lands rejoices in their ability to arejoices in their ability to hold a meeting, discuss a paint or fixup project in a business-like manner without a single word being uttered by him. “It's a beautiful thing to see little black guys getting themselves together. If we could see the big black guys get themselves together and then the parents, we could get some-' where," he commented. Recreation now centers mainly around cards, checkers, ping pong and playground activities. The playground will be completely furnished soon by the Park Department. From 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. each day Lands and his partner Bruce Robertson, assume staff duties but they're hopeful that workers can eventually be hired from the Lockfield area plus fill a board of directors. “As long as I see the kids and their pride in the place I know there’s hope," Lands added. “Seeing children getting along, Victims include CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 night service station two blocks from the shooting scene where they found Bowles suffering from five gun shot wounds. Bowles told police he had been passing the Griffin home when he noticed Griffin beating his ■wife in front of the house. The wounded man said he stopped to intervene and was shot py Griffin. He said he managed to make his way to the filling station seeking to summon aid before collapsing on the driveway. Mrs. Griffin, prominent member of Marion County Republican political circles, who is a member of the law firm of Bolden, Mann ana Allen practices law under her maiden name, Miss Nola Al-
len.
She recently was named as the first Negro to be appointed 11th District Republican chairman - scheduled to replace L. Keith Bullen in that post after the Republican National Convention in August. She has served as 11th District vice - chairman under Bulen who was elected to the Republican National Committee. After Bowles was shot, Mrs. Griffin ran several doors south to the Anderson home. Anderson admitted her and bolted the door. Enraged, Griffin is said to have chased his wife to the Anderson home - fired a shot through the front door glass and then kicked the door open, firing two more shots, one of which struck Anderson in the right shoulder. According to police, Anderson then fired a single shot from a .38-Caliber revolver, striking Griffin in the stomach. Mrs. Griffin and Anderson were taken to Methodist Hospital where 15 stitches were required to close a scalp wound. Both Bowles and Griffin were taken to General Hospital-Gri-ffin under arrest after being charged by police with assault and battery with intent to kill. Both men had been listed in extremely critical condition. Bowles had been transferred to the serious list. Doctors, however, fear Griffin may suffer perm an ant paralaysis because of damage to his spine.

and encouragement, things available only from adults. It's his hope that “Our Place," sponsored by Flanner House, Indiana University and the Park Department, will help fill the void.
