Man Who Served With
Tenth Cavalry in War |
Named Bank President

At a meeting of directors of
First National Bank Of Minneapo-
lis June 20, Lyman E. Wakefield,
president of the bank since July 80,
1925, was named chairman of the
Board of Directors and Henry E.
Atwood of Minneapolis was elected
president. These official changes
are the result of plans which have
been under discussion for some
time in anticipation of Mr.. Wake
fields reaching the age of IS with
in a few days. In his new position
as chairman of the board Mr..
Wakefield will continue to be an
active officer of the bank.
No stranger to the First Nation
al organization, Mr.. Atwood re-
signed as vice president of the bank
in January, 1886, to become vice
president and director of the B. F.
Nelson Manufacturing Company of
Minneapolis, manufacturers of
asphalt roofing, insulation and
boxes. Since April, 1913, he has
been director of the bank and has
served on it's Trust Committee. He
will assume his new executive
duties at the bank after a brief
holiday and will continue as a direc-
tor of the B. F. Nelson Manufac-
turing Company.
Following the election, Mr.
Wakefield said, Directors and Off
GERS of the bank are very happy to
welcome Mr.. Atwood back to the
First National organization, con-
fident that his experience and
ability will be of great service both
to the bank and to its customers.
A native of Keeseville, New
York, Mr.. Atwood graduated from
Dartmouth College in 1918 and
took a masters degree at Harvard
in 1914. In 1917 he left the faculty
of the University of Minnesota to
enter military service as an officer
of the famous Negro regiment, the
Tenth U. S. Cavalry. Completing
his service in World War I with
the rank of captain, he returned to
Minneapolis and entered the in.

In a press conference Immediate
Iy following the final Bishops
Council, the newly appointed pub
lie relations director, Bishop K.
R. Wright, Jr., described the post
war plans as zone of the most far
reaching steps ever taken by a Ne
gro church"
Included in the program for the
immediate future, the Council ap-
proved plans for establishing of a
national information service and
the inauguration of a public rela-
lions office.
The clerics went on record as
favOring the enactment of a Fair
Employment Practice Committee
bill and opposed postwar conscrip-
ton. The churchmen failed to take
any step toward actively engag-
ing in the drive to pass FEPC, not
even to the point of encouraging
AME ministers throughout the
country to support the bill.
One of the most controversial
elements of the Bishops Council,
the reported financial IDEALS" both
in the New Jersey and New York
conferences, were hushed.
SheIve Fraud Suits
The reported $15O,OOO fraud law
suit" which developed as a result
of Supreme Court decision a few
weeks ago that the church audit
funds in the New York area, was
shelved as was another suit against
the church brought by New Jersey
ministers.
The New Jersey ministers,
through an attorney, filed suit
against the church over financial
irregularities at Paradise Lake,
New Jersey, a resort operated by
the AME church. 1t was later
learned that the ministers in ques-
ton in the later suit have not been
re-appointed pending action of the
Bishops Council last week.
Hint New Conflict
The church's plan to renovate
its publication system and to gain
control in the field forewarned a
coming conflict with the Rev. Ira
Bryant of Nashville, Tenn, ardent
crusader against church corruption,
who has a virtual monopoly" in
the field now.
The AME move to consolidate
its strength by forcing all AME
clergymen to use official publica-
tions may develop into a "show-
down" fight with the crusading
Bryant.
A Million New Members
Bishop Wright announced that the
campaign to enroll a million mem
In discussing the postwar plans,
bers would carry the gospel into
neglected areas of the country, es-
pecially rural, and would include
summer theological seminaries.
The AME financial campaign has
among its recipients, Wherefore
university, with grant of $780,
600 for the postwar period. Eleven
church schools and ten colleges are
also included.
Bishop Wright announced that
the social service office would open
shortly and that the publicity de-
partment would release material
not only to the Negro press but to
the daily press and the radio.

Episcopal Church bishopric begins.
The occasion, three years away,
was spotlighted at the Connection
al Council of the church held at
the st. Johns AME Church here
last week when the campaigning
for the bishops vote commenced.
The incident made you take a
gander into the crystal ball. You
began to conceive a close, thrilling
vote in the coming election. The
campaign, with all the aspects of
the political season, has begun.
With the AME Church enjoying
its unprecedented financial success,
the surge to the bishopric has at
tracted churchmen in all sections
of the country and from all areas
and districts.
Last week, the candidates had
their first chance to put their
names in circulation.
Probably, the strongest Ohioan
to enter the race is Rev. G. T.
Sims, presiding elder of the Cleve-
land District.
Two other probables are the Revs.
Joseph Gomez, pastor of st. James
AME Church, and Charles Spivey,
pastor of the councils host church,
both of Cleveland.
Rev. Gomez has entered two pre-
vious races.
There is a dark horse" candi-
date from Columbus, Ohio, who
at present, hasn't officially enter
ed the campaigning.
In the national picture, the
strongest figures, according to re-
liable sources, are the Rev. Har-
rison Bryant and Rev. Baker
Pearle, both of Baltimore, the Rev.
M. M. Lewis, of Philadelphia, and
the Rev. Frederick Jordan, of Los
Angeles, Calf.
So far, over twenty-five A. M. E.
ministers have expressed the de-
sire for the bishopric and with
almost three years of enrolment
time left, it appears that the field
will be overcrowded but highly
competitive.

HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE
REFUSES TO ACT ON FEPC
LIQUIDATION FUND
WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
The House Rules Committee,
which has pigeon-holed every pro-
posal to give life to the FEPC
either in its present form through
an appropriation or bill for
permanent agency, last week re-
fused even to permit proposal for
it's liquidation to come before the
House of Representatives.
The Appropriations Committee
suggested $125,OOO be given the
agency to pay for its liquidation
over the next three months. The
suggestion was voted down in the
Rules Committee.
n
hopeful the Rules Committee would
approve the consideration of the
proposal-which they intended to
change to a full appropriation once
it reached the floor of the House.
The unholy alliance in the Rules
Committee was too smart to be
caught mapping, however.

Your Starting Point
By FRED WOLF
(Nntinnnl Sfnrl

After yesterday. we'd better
get back 10 instructions, or HI
be fired. Getting a set starting
point, is the beginning of per-
fecting the art of playing an
alley. {
Naturally, the distance your
left toe is from this spot is
changed from time TO time, de-
pending on what success you are
having with the respective alley
you are bowling on.
You many want to move In
side on an alley or possibly
move outside, so tO move one
way or another, YOU should
move from some definite point.
For example, IL you are about
two inches back Of a separation
where two boards join on the
runway, and your ball is con-
tinually going high, YOU would
move one board 10 your left or
inside.
OF course, YOU must keep in
mind that whatever position you
take, YOU must always walk 10
the foul line in a straight line
One of the most proficient users
of this system is Buddy Bomar
the national match game cham
pion.
After BOmar picks his ball
nip off the rack, and walks to
his position 10 turn and face
the pins, he drops his head and
gets his foot on the spot, or a
certain distance from spot
that he might be using for his
starting point.
l have seen Bomar, especially
during recent doubles match
here, change his starting point
time and time again to find the
correct angle on the alley, due
to his ball continually running
high.
Once YOU are having reason
able amount Of success and your
ball, is working properly, you
must then concentrate on the
variation of your speed.
