House, December 16. Owen How

of an authorization given in the
1916 Independent Offices appropria-
ton act for the construction of a
500-bed all-Negro veterans hospi-
tai in either Alabama or Mississip-
pi at total cost of $S,049,830.
Opposed by Organizations
Construction of another jimcrow
hospital was opposed by the Negro
Newspaper Publishers Association,
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
the National Medical Association,
the National Negro Nurses Asso-
citation and other organizations.
Opposition to construction of an
addition for Negro veterans at
Alexandria is based on ~ advo-
cacy of indignation in veterans
facilities, and (2) intolerable con-
ditions existing in Alexandria and
other localities in the deep South.
Two Cases of Murder
At least two cases of apparent
wanton murder of Negro soldiers
and a number of race riots occurred
in Alexandria during World War II.
These are typical of incidents
which Negro veterans sent to vet
Grams hospital at Alexandria would
be subjected to whenever they had
occasion to leave the hospital and
go into the community.
Many of the veterans who would
be sent to Alexandria and other
veterans hospitals in the South
have returned from overseas and
would be continually facing embar-
rassment.
Tubercular Hospital
The 725-bed general hospital at
Alexandria has been converted into
a tuberculosis hospital, the Veter-
ans Administration announced, last
Thursday. 1t declined, however, to
state whether the proposed 25O-bed
addition would be used for Negro
veterans.
The Alexandria hospital at pres
ent has 495 beds available for white
veterans and 230 beds for Negro
veterans on segregated wards.

Wayman AME church, acting as
spokesman of some disgruntled
members, sent to Bishop John A.
Gregg, DID,, a petition" express
ing the desire to withdraw Way
man church from the Northwestern
Conference until September, 1916.
This petition" was referred to me
by Bishop Gregg. In that same let
ter, the Bishop stated, 81 have ad-
vised them that they cannot with
draw Wayman from the connection
any time ever, and the only thing
to do since they are dissatisfied
with the pastor is to withdraw
themselves. He further said,
However, look into the matter and
let me know what is best"
Bishop O.K.'s Guys Decision
Guy states he sent to Bishop
Gregg his answer to the petition,
and the Bishop answered that the
reply was sound, well put, and to
the point" Rev. Guy also said at
the quarterly conference held at
Wayman on November rs, 1915,
81 read that answer and stated that
Bishop Gregg had approved it."
Rev. Guy states that Langums
and "Others of his group were
present at that quarterly confer
ence," and that "Mr. Langums'
claim to charter membership was
denied by one of the charter men,
bers. He (Langums) made no re-
ply. It was the first time, I am in
formed, that Mr.. Langums has
visited Wayman in the fifteen
months of Rev. Ashford's pas
tOrate."
Guy said that in his answer he
stated: mo charges involving q
minister's good name should be
made without being able to sub
stantiate them. If you will make
out your charges, specifying the
time and place and witnesses, and
file them with me or with the
Bishop, I am sure there is a law
by which the truth or falsity of
said charges can be obtained. If
true, the remedy is at hand.
~ further stated: Tt is the pas
tors prerogative to appoint his
Stewards AS to the choir, The
choir is under the jurisdiction Of
the pastor. The Holy Spirit should
guide them both. Together they
are able to do great things for God.
Apart they cannot accomplish
much. All robes, music, etc., that
come into the choir members pos
session while they are serving I'M
der the name of the church are the
property, not of the individual
members, but of the church. When
the choir ceases to function, the
property reverts to the church,
understand that only three or four
members have given up their
robes"
Wrote Officers
Rev. Guy concluded: Il have
written to certain officers who hold
money for Wayman. They failed
to report at the quarterly confer
ence. In three weeks they have
neither answered, nor given the
money to the church. If they wish
to withdraw, they should at least
make an honest report of their
holdings"
Rev. Guys statement came after
Mr.. Langums brought to the Min
neapolis Spokesman office a petit
ton signed by four members of the
Wayman congregation charging
Rev. Ashford with misapprOpria-
ton Of funds, being responsible for
declining membership, and low
financial status, and completely
disregarding disciplinary pro-
cedure in elections Of officers and
boards"
Last week, Rev. Ashford denied
all charges made against him, and
stated If any further proof Of his
innocence was necessary, he was
ready to furnish it.
