THE MACHINERY to set up a rapid mass transit system in Indianapolis (Marion County) was provided for in the Urban Mass Transit Act of the 1965 Indiana General Assembly. State Sen. Patrick E. Chavis, Jr. (Dem.-Indianapolis) a member of the Marion County Affairs Committee has been named to advice Mayor John J. Barton on how our city can share in the Mass Transit Act of 1964 or $465 million of federal funds to be alloted under the Act to help finance new urban public transit or improve

old ones.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Closing the economic and educational gap between Negro and white people of our land was the theme of the fifty-fifth annual convention of the National Urban League here July 31 to Aug. 1. Negro people of our country face a “long and difficult road” in taking advantage of rights recently won Whitney M. Young, Jr. told delegates to the convention. Mr. Young, national executive secretary of the organization further, asserted “the gap remains wide, intolerably, needlessly, unbearably wide.” He conceives of a “revolution of fulfillment” calling for federal help in improving the living standards and meeting the health and welfare needs of Negro people. According to Ramon S. Scruggs, league vice-president and conference chairman: “As the barriers fall, our opportunities will soar. We must match our expectations with determination and our hopes with grit. We must not allow our flaws as individuals to hold back our progres as a people.” Mr. Young told about 1,000 delegates attending the conventions, from all areas of the country, ‘The Negro citizen wants peace, but a peace based upon justice. He wants order . . . the same law for black men as white men.” Lawrence Cardinal Shehan of Baltimore, urged cooperation between white people and Negroes and avoidance of extremism.

EEOC confab in Washington August 19-211 WASHINGTON — President Johnson announced late last week that the first White House conference to plan fair and effective administration of Title VU of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 will be held at the Department of State August

19-20.

Title VII, establishing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission went into operation July 2 this year. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr. is chairman of the commission. The conferences will bring together in a series of workshops the EEOC commissioners and key staff members with more than 300 representatives of employers, unions, employment agencies, public and private organizations, state and local fair employment commissions to discuss the various Equal Employment Opportunity Commission programs. In commenting on the conferences, the President said: “Basic to our national goal of equality of treatment and opportunity for all Americans is the assurance that employment will be on the basic of the applicant’s ability and qualifications to do the job rather than on irrelevant factors of race, religion, national origin or sex. It is clear to all that conomic strength is essential to achieving equality of housing, education and public accommodation. “The genuine progress of the past few years in this field convinces me that American industry is anxious to assist in achieving equality of employment opportunity. I hope that the new Commission under the Chairmanship of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., will benefit by this recent change in national attitude. . . Although every legal enforcement means avallable to the Commission should be employed when other methods fail, I strongly share the view that efforts to obtain voluntary compliance should receive priority. “In this period of great social change the nation is at long last beginning to face the varied and complex problems of our minority groups. My interest in the employment problem is of many years standing and I am anxious that our progress continue. The conference can and should be a useful instrument - - I shall do everything possible to make it so and we welcome the cooperation of all.” Vice-President Hubert Humphrey will open the conference, welcoming the conferees at 9:00 a.m. Thursday, August 19. Chairman Roosevelt will introduce the EEOC Conunissioners and state the objectives of the meeting. The conference will consist of. seven workshop sessions, followed on Friday, August 20, by a two-hour report session presided over by Mr. Roosevelt and concluding with a 4:00 p.m. press confrence.-

It also would apply to 34 counties of Alaska, and single counties in Maine, Arizona and Idaho. Order the Justice Department to begin court suits to challenge the constitutionality of poll taxes used in state and local elections in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Virginia. Apply new criminal penalties for attempts to prevent qualifield persons from voting or to threaten or harm workers assisting prospective voters. PROVISIONS of the measure declaring that poll taxes abridge and deny the right to vote, and directing the U.S. Attorney General to immediately institute federal court suits was acclaimed generally by leaders on the civil rights

front.

U.S. Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach observed that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. acclaimed the measure as a “good one because it goes a long way finally to redeem the pledge of the Fifteenth Amendment by assuring the right to vote of all citizens regardless of race or

color.”

MARION MOTLEY AIDING OTTO GRAHAM WITH COLLEGE ALL-STARS CHICAGO (NPI)—Marion Motley, former star fullback for the original Cleveland Browns football team, is back in action again, but not with the Browns. This time, Motley is teaming with head coach Otto Graham, also a former Browns great, in coaching the College All-Star game for their Aug. 6 clash with the Browns in Soldier Field.

State official

Continned from Pay I powerful voting blocks in the nation by 1968. Early this week Shelton made a one day visit to Greenfield to inquire about charges against five men arrested in Greenfield for distributing anti-Negro literature. Arrested after the distribution to post office box holders of the Klan newspaper, Fiery Cross, they were charged with violating a 1947 state law prohibiting “racketeering in

hate.”

In Greenfield, Hancock County Sheriff Edwin Kirkpatrick said Shelton asked about the arrests and said he would consult his legal counsel. Bottorff asked State Atty. Gen. John J. Dillon to institute action against the Klan for the functioning at a state headquarters in Greenfield without filing with his corporation division. Dillon said he did not want to prejudice the rights of the five men facing criminal charges in Hancock. County and added the Klan “is entitled to the same constitutional rights as you and I are.” He also said he feels the Klan “probably had done business in Indiana within the meaning of the statute.” The Klan once formidable champion of intolerance and bigotry in Indiana waned away after the grand dragon, D.C. Stevenson was convicted in a sordid case arrayed around the death of a young woman attached to his office personnel.

Protest College Continned from Page 1 Commenting on the woman who got killed. Mr. Wake said that the woman stepped into the middle of the street in front of an intoxicated car

driver.

Comments made by the neigh-

bors were as follows:

MRS. GENEVA HUDSON, 2055 N. College, Apt. 6: “I got hit at 21st and College July 27 and I was in the hospital for two days and received 12 stitches in my head. I suffered a bruised left shoulder, right arm and left leg. I am still under

the care of a doctor.”

MRS. NONA HUBBARD, 2034^ N. College: “The city is treating us unfairly. Children and —grown-ups —might --get

killed.”

MRS. EVELYN JOHNSON, 1619 N. College: “I have grandchildren whom I am afraid to let cross the street to go to school. I don’t see why they cut one little lane.” MRS. ROSE ADAMS, 1630 N. College: “I keep welfare children ranging in ages from 13 to eight months and I am afraid for them to cross the street. The bus comes so close to the curb that a small child could be swept under it. It seems to me they only make these changes in Negro areas.” MRS. EDNA MOORE, 1711 N. College: “I have seen several accidents since they made College the way it is now. There are a lot of children in my

block.”

MRS. BERNICE MADDEN, 1711 N. College, “When you start to cross the street you can’t see the southbound cars.” JOE THOMAS, 1730 N. College, “I would rather have it the other way, although this is all right as it is. The kids can’t get across the street so it is kind of dangerous in that respect.” MRS. SALLIE GREEN, 1922 N. College, “I keep children and now the mothers can’t park to bring them into the house. I think the stop and go light should be used 24 hours instead of the red flasher light beginning at 10 p.m. MRS. TOTTICE CHATMAN, 2010 N. College, “I hate it the way they have made College. A lady got killed right in front of my house and it’s getting on my nerves.” MRS. SHIRLEY MITCHELL, 2030 N. College, “I don’t think the change is right. I ^im afraid for my five children to cross the street.” MRS. FLORINE POOLE, 2034 N. College, “I think it is inconvenient and really dangerous with one lane going south.” MRS. JEANETTE PITTMAN, 2140 N. College, Apt. 2, “I think College is dangerous. I’ve been here seven or eight years and am used to stepping off the curb and looking south. I am used to parking in front of my door and now I have to park on the weStside of the street—so does everyone else.

This is inconvenient.” MRS. LELA BUFORD, 2310 N. College, “It’s just all right but it makes it awfully crowded and there have been a few accidents.” MRS. MATTIE CHANDLER, 2404 N. College, “I think that it is a ‘rat hole’ that is causing a lot of confusion. I can’t stand it. Children don’t think as fast as adults and they might get

Davis claimed that Jones reached and grabbed the gun and that he snatched it back - - causing it to fire accidentally. When police arrived, Jones had stopped breathing and a police officer administered artificial respiration until the fire department arrived with the respirator.

Asked by homicide detectives where his own gun had been, Bennett refused to give a direct answer, saying, “I was in my own home with it.” The original charge of assault and battery with intent to kill lodged against Bennett was changed to a preliminary charge of murder after Mrs. White died. Mrs. White was also sent to the hospital under arrest on the assault and battery charge.
