Attorney takes a slap at legal atrocities

NEW YORK— One of Indianapolis's leading black attorneys has called to task the American system which allow people to be arrested "because they protested and disgreed with the power struc - ture of selfish interests and the establishment committed at any price to hold the status quo social mores lines." In the words of Henry Richard Jr., **We need a Moses of deep political acumen, with courageous faith to lead a reformation of America out of the wilderness of (Jisresoect for law and order—which at times is a disgrace to acivilized government—and able to motivate Americans not towards integration or brotherhood but toward a sincere mutual state of abolishing social discrimination and for respect and fellowship with out the mask of hypocrisy and duplicity worn by most Americans today." President of the Indianapolis Urban League, Richardson was special guest speaker at a dinner of outstanding citizens hosted by H. Prentice Browning, former president of American Fletcher National Bank, Indianapolis, now vice-chairman of the Board of National Bank of America, New York. "...To deny each American this opportunity to walk through an open door to sucess or failure and then condemn

him for being a menace to society or an economic and social failure is atrocious in government and inhuman cunduct in any civilized society ; it is liking unto when his fellowman had been denied every opportunity to acquire a brick mold and straw for the finished product...," Richard declared. He desribed as "insidous and unjust" condemnation of any American for failure when he has been denied the equal educational and economic opportunities to suceed. Unless changes comes, according to Richardson, "... and we do not immediately reform our institutional, human, educational and economic structures without delay the intellectual youth of today dedicated to change and reform along with the masses of all minorties will be the leaders of tomorrow and they will reform, remold or destroy our present system of pseudodemocracy." WILLIAM FARM Funeral services for William Parm, age 64, 2106 Sugar Grove Ave. were held Wednesday, Nov. 12 in Boulting house Funeral Home, Rockport. He had been an employee of the Hygrade Packing Co., was a membfer ofthe Masonic lodge and the Smithfield Baptist Church.

Survey finds hope than racial strife ebbing.jn the ghetto NEW YORK — A noted author, after a coast-to-coast survey on the "Mood of America," this week held out the hope that the peak of racial confrontation has passed* Fletcher Knebel, writing in the current issue of Look magazine, said he "sensedafeel-ing-per haps hope is a better word—that the peak of racial confrontation has passed and that perhaps things will not, after all, get worse before they get tetter." One reason for his feeling, Knebel said, was the fact that, finally, "white Americans are beginning to meet thousands of black Americans on stations of economic parity. "There ha steen a tremendous recent increase in black fhces that are visible to the traveling public ~ at banks, hotels, stores, airline counters. With some marked exceptions, these blacks, including many beautiful girls, try harder and are warmer, more helpful and cheerful than their white counterparts." One conclusion reached by the author was that, outside of the deadend ghettos, "blacks are more zestful and optimistic than whites. They may complain, grouse about whitey and cheer those bearded warriors who want to gun down the white man, but they look on the future with more hope. They do, after all, delight in the new brotherhood, dignity and soul-sharing ofthe blacks.

BY H. C. TRIBBLE

United Methodists

The Business Development Center of the Urban League and the Young Women's Christian Association are sponsoring a Market Place, December 5,6, and 7 at the Indianapolis YWCA, 329 North Pennsylvania. This is an opportunity for talented craftsmen and artists to display their wares and, hopefully to sell some items during these three days. One of the major purposes of the project is to try to make the Indianapolis community aware of articles and services that they had not previously realized were available. If you have articles or services you would like to display contact either Jesse Carter or Huerta Tribble at the Model Cities Office, 1955 North Central, 924-1849, or the Busin e s s Development Center, 3316 Clifton, 926-2446, for application blanks. Market Place will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridwy and Saturday, D e c. 5 and 6 and 1 p.m. t o 5 p.m. on Dec. 7. Displays should be set up between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4 and removed by 9 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7. Tables (card or banquet size) will available at the YWCA if desired, but individuals will be responsible for setting up their own booths (including signs) for taking care of their own sales or orders and for taking down and removing all remnants. Volunteers from the YWCA will be present to answer questions and tl help wherever needed. Mrs. Barton Hunter, YWCA and Jesse L. Carter, Urban League, are co-chairmen of the committee that is setting up the market. The public is invited to visit t h e market where handmade articles such as jewelry decorated c a n d 1 e s, leather work, ceramics, portrait sketches, metal sculpture, and African artifacts w i 1 1 be shown. Items on exhibit may be purchased or ordered. Assisting Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Carter are Mrs. Terrill Albright, Mrs.SpurlingClark, Mrs. Sam H. Jones, Mrs.

George McCaulley and Mrs. Roberton Williams. The YWCA, which is concerned about economic development i n Indianapolis, feels that one important aspect of that development is the enabling of young- and not so young-artisans, craftsmen, businessmen, both black and white, to get a foothold in the community so they can become self-supporting and provide products and services that would not otherwise be available. The Market Place is aimed at simply providing the opportunty for little-known artisans to display their products and services before a group of people who would otherwise not know of their existence. Among those registered for the Market Place are George A d a m s, J. Bailey, Curtiss Brummer, Joe Holiday, Bill Harris, Roosevelt Kates, Marvel Chemical Co., Logansport; Summit Laboratories, Madame C.J. Walker Co., Arthur Smith, Thelma Kennedy, and Mac's Custom Tailoring Shop. Also J & MGreenburg, Lou-

make Human Relations grant Bishop Reuben H. Mueller, head of the Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church, announced this week announced grants from the denomination Fund for Reconciliation for projects over the state totaling more than $18,000.
