CHASTITY is expected to happen

of Goods Country" New York. on
the very outskirts of the greatest
metropolis in the world, the Ku
Klux Khan coiled this week.
And under the startling protec-
ton Of its official Incorporation by
the state of New York, the Khan
threatened to sink its fangs into
a group of citizens who are de-
manding the prosecution of Patrol
man Joseph Romoika for the muir
der of Charles and Alonzo Fergu
son and the wounding of third
brother in Freeport, Long Island,
on Feb. 25.
Snatched from their blissful COM
placency in sit can't happen here"
more than 1000 alarmed New
Workers held a mass rally at Man
haitian center Tuesday night to de-
mand that Gov. Dewey order a
grand jury inquiry into the slay-
ing of the two Negroes, and to
challenge the Ku Klux Khan to take
reprisals as promised, if the in
vestigation is carried further.

Il In Congress
Not Seeking
Reflection
Various Reasons
For Not Running
Being Advanced

WASHINGTON. - (ANP) -
twenty-five members of congress
and the senate are not going to run
for reelection this year. OF the
number which stated their original
purpose last week, one, w. o.
Burgin, Democrat, ~ c., has since
died, which brings the total down
to 81.
Eleven Republicans and 10 Dem
ocrats remain in the group which
will not seek reelection. Among
the Republicans are:
Charles LaFollette. Indiana;
Clair Booth Luce, Connecticut;
Jessie Summers, Illinois; Frank
Carlson, Kansas; sherman Adams,
New Hampshire; James Wolfridge,
Pennsylvania; j. Roland Kinzer,
Pennsylvania; Howard E. Camp
bell, Pennsylvania: d. Emmert
Brunbaugh, Pennsylvania; Joseph
E Talbot, Connecticut. and Sen
Thomas c. Hart. Connecticut.
DEMOCRATS
The Democrats are: John T. Do
Ian. California; Ellis f. Patterne,
CALIFORNIA;; James M. Curley, Mas
sachusetts; Berkley Bunker, Neva-
da; Michael j. Bradley, Pennsyl-
vania; Hatton Summers, Texas;
Fritz Lanham, Texas; Sam Russell,
Texas; Sam j. Erwin, North Caro-
lima. and Sen. Charles O. Andrews,
Florida.
Various reasons are being given
for not running. Some claim poor
health, others want TO devote more
time to private interests, some are
running for other offices as gov
ernor and senator, and others have
been, like Mayor Curley, elected
to other posts. Curley's is the most
interesting case, as he is under
sentence for wartime frauds, al
though his case is being appealed.
MOVED TO RETIREMENT
Summers, a veteran Of II years
in the house, says the trends OF
government and new methods OF
handling affairs moves him to re-
tirement. Lanham, also Texan
with % years of service IN the
house, wants to rest.
Charles LaFollette of Indiana, one
of the races staunchest friends, is
cunning for the senatorship from
his state and has the best wishes
of liberals, although his party, the
Republican, is said to be favorable
to another candidate.
Clair Booth Luce, who recently
embraced Catholicy, says she does
not want any religious matters m
iected into her campaign and for
that reason plans to retire. she
IS afraid many will say she went
TO the Catholic church to win sup
port on religious grounds. 1t IS
POSSIBLE that Mrs. Luce will be
drafted to run for the office.

COMMON FRAMEWORK
The framework of small bust
ness cannot be separated from the
framework of discrimination, he
said
Referring to the employment of
large numbers of colored people in
war industries which had to close
with the end of the war, Mr.. Ross
said, "The trend is clear all over
the country-this pattern of dis
elimination"
The situation, he continued, is
like that at the end of World War
| when colored people went back
to a pre-war status and stayed
there until the beginning of World
War III.
Naming the meat packing, iron
and steel and agricultural indus
tries as the 'hope" industries Of
the colored man, Mr.. Ross said
colored people in the textile in
dustries are on the business end
of a boom and that the trade un-
ions are right in the center of
the problems of the colored man.
The mass of white workers IN
the trade unions have taken the
position that they are not going to
let colored people gain an equal
level with them and the only So
luton is to break this position
down, he said.

CINE Lawmakers To
Meet In Saint Louis

WICHITA, Kan--(ANP)-In a
survey of opinion both in lay and
ministerial ranks, the delegates to
the General Conference of the Col
ored Methodist Church in ST. Louis
next month want to see several
things done and some undone.
Bishop c.. L.. Russell of Wash
ington, d. C., is anxious to increase
the retirement pay of mission
preachers. and their families and
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1946-04-20

is supporting an annuity plan for
the church. Dozens of delegates
expressed similar sentiment.
Other things the poll indicated
are: either make each department
of the church effective or combine
some of them; raise salaries of
bishops from 5000 to 5000 dol
lars per year; extend missionary
endeavors to Africa, South Amer
lea and other outlying outposts;
decentralize department of finance
of church SO that each department
will be responsible for own funds;
combine or merge some of the
struggling schools and colleges OPP
Grated by the church or place them
on a correctional basis, rather than
sectional or state basis; increase
the effectiveness of church school
literature; increase support of re-
gional church organs and guard
closely the promiscuous election OF
bishops with an eye to the fact
that there are seven active ones
at present.
FOR ROTATION
Almost equal in opinion was sem
timent for rotation of bishops
about half for and half against.
The poll showed that there is al
ready a rotation law but not en-
forced. The ministers are almost
100 per cent in favor of a ciear
and strong transfer law, while 90
per cent polled are in favar of
retiring all bishops who reach age
"a retirement age by law nov }
and 81 per cent are in favor OF
striking it out. Only four per cent
were non-commi.ai.
All in all, it looks like an IN
teresting session. The Rev. II. 6.
Tieuel, Jr., directed the survey.

a Kansas II ,ntaly periodical

WAGE RAISE PLAN
MAY FACE BATTLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-WD-
President Truman's proposal to
increase the federal minimum
wage to IS cents an hour appeared
headed straight toward a stiff SEN
ate battle today.
Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., O., one
of the staunchest opponents of the
measure, said he was preparing
"some amendments. He said he
did not know now exactly what
they would be.
The Senate Labor committee
tentatively approved revised
version of the bill yesterday.
Chairman James E. Murray, D.,
Mont, said he was certain. the bill
would get final committee approx.
al next week.
Taft, however, said he was just
as firmly opposed to the new yer
sion as to the original bill.
The revised version would estab.
lish 65-cent minimum ilnmedi
ately.
The floor then would be raised
70 cents an hour after two years
That minimum would remain ir
| effect two years after which il
| would be jumped to rs cents.
In its original form, the bill
called for a jump from IS to 75
cents within three years.
