President D. v. Jemison succeeded
quite handily in having him re-
elected by reclamation to a fourth
term to head up the largest de-
nomination of Negro Christians,

The move to suspend the rules
whereby a committee on nominal
lions would report its views at

the only real fight OF an otherwise
smoothly running convention. DR..

vice president, was presiding and
received the motion from the Rev.

Immediately Dr. j. Raymond

Esquire Ruling Test,
Miles Tells u. ). Bar
Soys Walker Believed
1t His Duty to Revoke
Magazines Privileges

Whether the magazine Esquire
should be barred from second class
mailing privileges brings into the
Federal courts for the first time an
issue which should be of intense in
terest to all Government attorneys
Solicitor Vincent M. Miles of the
Post ONCE Department said yester-
day in addressing the Federal Bar
Association.
Congress, in passing the Classifca-
tion Act in 1879, decided to subsi-
die newspapers that disseminated
information of public character
and were devoted to the arts,
sciences and literature, Mr. Miles
pointed out.
He added that Postmaster Gen.
eral Walker concluded that Con-
gress at no time intended to au-
thorize the issuance of the second
class mailing privilege to a maga-
zine that carried consistently mat
tiers such as the record showed had
been carried by Esquire. He sin
cerely felt it was his duty to revoke
the privilege"
Declaring the Post Office Depart
ment welcomed a court test of Mr.
Walkers ruling. Mr.. Miles said he
had searched all of the reports and
could find no other case involving
this particular question"
Mr.. Miles, introduced by President
Marguerite Rawalt as former
member Of the Social Security Board
and former special assistant to the
Attorney General termed BENJAMIN
Franklin the real father" of the
post Office, inasmuch as he had
served as Postmaster General of the
Colonies under King George III.
The association announced it re-
ceived 250 new members last year
President Rawalt said a $25 Wa,
Bond will be given to the member
who secures the largest number Of
new members, or collects dues from
delinquent members, by February 10
