Last Wednesday, McAfee'* alfalfa land helped to free the black activist, and the 33-year-old farmer said that Ids action had brought him "the thrill of a lifetime." "It culminated 16 months of struggle," hesaldwlthboyisn enthusiasm. "Afterward about 3fl or 40 of us went to the San Jose home of a friend and broke some bread together and had some good wholsome food. Angela got to breathe some fresh air. I had to leave the party early, to get home and milk the cows." McAfee Is a part farmer and part radical political activist who sprang from the unlikely s o 1 1 of conservative farming communities here that are known mainly for their peaches, grapes and walnuts.

The mayor was the featured speaker at the annual luncheon, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews and the Great e r Indianapolis Progress Committee. Honored at t h e luncheon were the Rev. Bernard Strange pastor of St. Rita’s Catholic Church; Milton J. (Josh)Fineberg, president of Brendon Park Inc., and Deputy Mayor John Walls.
