JACKSON. MisS.-The. slight of
Perry w. Howard, National Repub-
lican Committeeman from Missis-
sippi at the conference of Nat
iollal Negro Republican Leaders,
held in Chicago, two. weeks ego,
regarded as evident in his failure
to be named on any committee APP
pointed by the group, and the
lack of any reference to his name
in the news releases coming from
the meeting: and the fact that r..
R. Church; long time ally of Ho-
ward. with whom he is regarded
as permanently and irrepairably
separated politically; was elected
as Chairman of the group has be-
come matter of deep concern to
Negro Republican leaders in Missis-
sippi it was learned from reliable
sources here last week
In discussing the meeting rere
last week, one of the highest
ranking members of the State
Central Committee; one who has
never before been known to ex-
press even the slightest doubts
with respect to Mr.. Howard, or
anything connected with the or
ganization. in his more than twenty
years of service on the committee.
said that the fact that MIR. Ho-
ward had no prominence at all
in the Chicago conference, was
another evidence of his loss of
prestige with the Negro Repnbli-
cans of the nation; both with
respects to the Leaders and the
rank and file of republican and
would-be republican Negro voters
And further stated that 1t was
about time for the Mississippi or
ganization to begin looking about
for successor to Mr.. Howard
Pointing out that the future OF
the Republicans organization in
Mississippi. and what it could mean
to the Negroes of the state should
not be allowed to become ieopar-
died by trusting too long in the
prestige of single leader, especial
ly when there was plenty of evil
dence to justify the conclusion that
the day of his usefulness had
passed. Going further into the
matter the speaker also pointed
out that Mr.. Howard himself had
been thinking of -resgning his post
as National Republican Com
mittee-man from Mississippi as
far back as the Landon-Knox
but had been persuaded
