LOS ANGELES (By Fay jack

bly, of five thousand Negro dele
gates to the 57th annual session
Of thu, National Baptist Conven-
ton, meeting this week in Shrine
auditorium, DR.. L. K. Williams,
president, OF Chicago, decried the
spread of crime among his peo-
pie, gave poverty as a contribut-
ing cause and declared the increase
of liquor traffic an undermining
force in American life, when he
delivered the opening address of
the conclave.
Denying that the Negro is in
herently criminal, DIR. Williams
cited the ignorance of a greater
number of Negro Jawbreakers as
one of the chief contributing caus-
es, poverty as the other.
DR. Williams advocated strong
slnionism among our people as a
solvent of the race problem in A
