"What we need is a chance to make the American dream a reality. You won’t get that from Dick or George. What we need is room to move. F rorn Nixon and Wallace all you’ll get is room to move aside," Rep. Bond pointed out. Continuing his castigation of Republican Nixon and independent Wallace he asserted: "What we need is a chance. You won’t get that from those two jokers. "If .you let them get elected, you’ll get reaction, ruin, rebellion. repression, suppression and oppression. You’ll get Strom Thurmond deciding who will do what, and you’ll get Lester Maddox selling chicken in the White House." Of Maddox, Mr. Bond explained that while some complained that he was not at the funeral of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, possibly the most famous black Georgian in history, he reassured the listeners that Gov. Maddox was there, pulling the cart bearing the civil rights leader’s body. Sen. Patrick Chavis, who served as emcee for the breakfast which proceeded the luncheon, noted that George Ostheimer, superintendent o i public schools, refused to let Mr. Bond speak in any educatipnal institutes becasue he was allegedly "too controversial." The invocation at the luncheon was given by Rev. William Munshower, assistant pastor of St. Thomas AcquinasCatholic Church. Mrs. Henri Gibson, Democratic llth District vice-chairman, was mistress of ceremonies. Candidates were introduced by Miles H. Loyd, 20th district ward chairman. Remarks were made by James W. Beatty, Marion County chairman, llth district chairman, and lieutenant governor candidate; Andy Jacobs, Jr., llth district congr* ssman, and Sen. Chavis. Mr. Bond was introduced by

It consisted of Miss Paula Bradley, 19, also a Negro; John Burton, 21, and Dan Julian,30, both white Indianapolis residents. Mr. and Mrs. Don Neal recounted Miss Jenkins coming to their home and nervously complaining of being followed by men in a car. They summoned police but the only description obtained from her was the fact it was either a 1965 or 1966 model. She left and only a few moments later police were summoned blocks away where they found her body. Her sales notebook was a short distance away and there is speculation it contains information about her assailants. The P.F. Collier company, Miss Jenkins’ employer, is offering $1,000 for tips leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer or killers.

The purpose of the new law is to assure that money lenders will have to disclose their interest rates so that borrowers will be able to compare available credit loans. Before Its enactment the new law met unfavorable repercussions in all areas of financial promotions. It provides for a maximum of $10,000 fine or 20 years In prison or both on conviction of violations.

unexpectedly two weeks ago. Twyman declined to say if he will seek a full four-year term as mayor in the 1969 May primary. His term will expire on Dec. 31, 1969. He is a native of Barren County. He holds the M.A. degree in educational administration from Indiana University and has done postgraduate work at Indiana University and George Peabody College, Nashville, Tenn. Supreme court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 posed several prospective candidates for the judgeship left vacant on the demise of Judge Mote have proposed several Negro lawyers, or someone to succeede him on the bench. Seemingly, W. Chester Allen, South Bend, a lawyer’s lawyer and not unlike Abou Ben Adham, his name has led the list. Mr. Allen with a distingushed background as a member of the lower house of the General Assembly is the head of a wide-ly-heralded law firm in his home city , Allen, Allen & Allen; he is a former member of the South Bend city council, active in civic affairs on the community and state level and presently vice president of the St. Joseph County Bar Assn. Otherwise, in the Democratic -column others include: Henry J. Richardson Jr., versatile lawyer of wide reknown, civic leader and former member of the General Assembly and Merce M. Mance former Judge of the Marion County Superior Court, with more than a quarter of a century of activity in Indiana Democratic politics behind him, he is a graduate of Harvard University Law School, active in his (AME) Church and civic affairs on the community and state levels. Within the scope of GOP possible candidates are included: - the imment and somewhat re- , tired jurist of national or in a manner international reknown as a delegate to United Nations Assembly and the dean of Negro lawyers in our state, Robert L. Brokenburr. Otherwise, in a personal observation, Everitt I. Hall, in the opinion of this writer rates ii) the possible bidding for the judgeship as a "behind - the - scene desciple of Blackstone" comparing with the best on our contemporary scene. Otherwise as possible GOP projected candidates for the judgeship in the opinion of this writer, from Evansville, all the way to Gary there are on the contemporary scene, lawyer of Negro background or ancestry by training and experience camparable to the "likely temporarily appointee." Without any comment on the appointment, or possible, or again proposed candidates, the REPUBLICAN PARTY in gestures toward "harmony of democracy" might propose one of the two judges now on the benches in state constituted "courts of Indiana," Marion County; Judge Rufus Kuykendall and/or Judge Wilbur Grant.

REV. T. T. NEWMAN

DR. R. T. ANDREWS, SR. is a graduate of the Southern Bible Institute of Dallas.' He also received his BTh degree from the Central Baptist Theological Seminar tist Theological Seminary of this city. Some of his activities Include being dean of Religious Education of his convention, and chairman of the State Mission Board of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress. Currently, he is also editor of the Teachers Quarterly for the National Baptist Convention of America. Dr. Andrews, one of Indianapolis’ most brilliant and successful ministers, will realize a lifetime ambition with the burning of the mortgage. It culminates the dream of h man who began his venture at an age when most men officially retire. Rarely is there an accomplishment so phenomenal, and In all probability, one not likely to be matched In this century. Dr. Andrews came to Indianapolis from Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Tex., in 1939. In assuming the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, he found the membership worshiping in a building badly in need of re-

pair and a deficit of over $10,000. Inspiring the membership and after much effort, as our country was In a war at this time, plans were made to buy war bonds which would eventually be used to help build a new ed-

ifice.

As many great leaders, he had to endure the skeptics at home and abroad; those who vowed he would never build a church, and if he did he would never pay for it. Both predictions have been proven wrong. With the services of the architect for the building, Benjamin Franklin Olsen, Chicago; the supervising ar- • chltect, Charles J. Betts, Indianapolis; the builders, McKlssack and McKIssack, Inc., Nashville, Tenn., Dr. Andrews and his congregation moved Into the beautiful edifice in 1960. It is reported to be one of the most complete in church facilities in the nation, representing nearly a million dollar investment at this time. Rev. Andrews Is a graduate of Bishop College, attended the University of Illinois and is a recipient of an honorary doctor of divinity degree from Simmons University, Louisville, Ky. An avid reader, he states his library Is one of his most prized possessions. He has served the city, state and nation well. Among some of the positions he has held are past president of Indiana Council of Churches, past vice-president, National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc.; past president, Indiana General Missionary Baptist State Convention; board member, Church ^Federation of Greater Indianapolis; board member, American BaptistTheologicrd Seminary; president, Indiana State Pastor's Conference; board member, Union District Association, and many many others. The Progressive Baptist Convention held in Washington, D. C., in August tailed upon Dr. Andrew's to conduct a series of lectures for the ministers. Over 125 ministers attended the sessions each day, giving credence f o his reputation of bein' a "preacher's preacher." He has also been an excellent administrator, and a brilliant religious and civic leader, fully devoted to untiring and unselfish service. He recently reminded the church of their responsibility to youth and a donation of $2,000 was given to the Boy Scouts this summer. Rev. L. E. Ervin, assistant pastor, members and friends of Mt. Zion are all proud that they could help the "Andrew's dream" come true. Indianapolis is a better place because this tall Texan, who is also a recent world traveler, had the fortitude to stand tall and not lie swayed by ill winds ever, present. His motto while building the church has been, "Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it (Psalm 127:1). Both 11 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. services are open to the public.

U.S. SEN. BIRCH BAYH financial help from government and corporations. To develop local Negro owned businesses and to attract local franchises for community residents from national firms. • To attract, through tax benefits, new private industry into inner-city areas provided the bulk of newly created jobs are filled by poverty area residents. To open new business and job opportunities to Negroes outside ghetto areas. Sen. Bayh stated that the success of such a program "wilK depend upon the availability of capital and training..from both government and private industry, but it is esential that the residents of the affected communities participate fully in planning and implication." Further, he observed that the need for a concentrated and coodinated effort to revitalize America’s inner - city areas "can be understood by realizing that w’hile Negroes compose 12 per cent of our population, they make up less than three per cent of self-employ-ed Americans...and while oneof

every forty white Americans is a proprietor, less than one of every 1,000 black men is a proprietor. "Our long range goal is to provide the opportunity for those who live in ghetto areas of this country to make a better life for themselves." Speaking before the Rotary Club meeting Sen. Baybobsekved,"...It seems all the endidates are taling about ‘law and order’...but I hear very few talking about justice." Again, he declared, “...law and order without justice are meaningless. "don’t know any one... except for a few extremists who ignite disorder for their own sinister puposes...who opposes law and order. We seek order and security and usually, we find these things by obedience to and reverence for the law. "But we must remember... that a law may begoodorit may be evil, and that order may result from the harmony of a democracy or from the repression of a dictator. "Harmony in a democracy does not come from law alone; it comes from laws that are good and just. Unjust laws can and should be changed...just as our colonial forefathers did whe, because of their religion, some were not permitted to own property, just asSamuel Adams did when he led the Boston Tea Party; just as unionists did when they challenged efforts to prevent them from organizing; just as women in this country’ did when they were not permitted to vote. "Our Constitution guarantees this right. It does not condone violence, arson or looting. Nor does it condone the uses of cat-tle-prods, fire-hoses and clubs to break up peaceful and orderly demonstrations to express and dramatize grievances. "Let not .order be our primary goal in this country', order for the sake of order has been the primary goal of despots and bigots throughout recorded history’. "Let justice be our first goal and let rightousness be the instrument of achieveing it. If our laws are just there will be order...but even more than that, there will be acreative harmony and a productive peace that will permit the excitement of innovation and change without the destruction of violence and revolution."
