INTERRA(IAL RED CROSS
STAFF PRAISED

NAPLES, Italy, Apr. II (ANP)
The new consolidated Red Cross
clubs. in the European theatre of
occupation, serving officers, enlist
ed men, Negroes, whites and varied
nationalities with an interracial
staff, are models Of working and
racial harmony, according to Frank
T. Cleverley, Red Cross commits
sioner to Italy. The arrangement
brought about by combination of
clubs due to decreased military per-
sonnel marks one of the happiest
phases in the Red Cross entire oper-
alton in the theatre, Mr.. Cleverley
says.
Miss Elaine Pollard, who served
in the Mediterranean theatre for a
year, is staff member of the Con-
tinental Club here which is a COM
bination of three former Naples
clubs, the Officers Club, the Lib
erty and the original Continental.
Working with Mary Reinberg,
formerly of the Officers Club and
Alice Carey, former Continental
Club staff member, Miss Pollard re-
ports the new arrangement to be
ideal.
For date dances, the club furn-
ishes Italian hostesses for Negro
service men and white service men
dance with Negro Red Cross work
ers, all in genial spirit of conrad
erie, she says. And at all times, the
staff, under direction of Frederick
P. Lentz, works together without
dissension, she stresses.
In recent letter to Jesse %.
Thomas, assistant to vice chairman,
domestic services of the American
Red Cross, Mr.. Cleverley described
the new arrangement as following
the "basic principles of democracy
in which so many of us have a very
firm conviction and belief" in prac-
tical application.

(.M.E. LAWMAKERS TO
GATHER IN St. LOUIS SOON

WlCI11 "A, hdIl., APP 1O (A1NI
In survey of opinion both in lay
and ministerial ranks, the delegates
to the General conference of the
Colored Methodist church in ST.
Louis next month want to see sew
eral things done and some undone.
Bishop C. L. Russell of Washing
ton, D. c., is anxious to increase the
retirement pay of mission preach
ers and their families and is sup
porting an annuity plan for the
church. Dozens of delegates ex-
pressed similar sentiment.
Other things the poll indicated
are: either make each department
of the church effective or combine
some of them; raise salaries of bis
hops from 5000 to 5000 dollars per
year; extend missionary endeavors
to Africa, South America and other
outlying outposts; decentralize de-
partment of finance of church so
that each department will be re-
sponsible for own funds; combine or
merge some of struggling schools
and colleges operated by the church
or place them on a correctional ba-
sis, rather than sectional or state
basis; increase the effectiveness of
church school literature; increase
support of regional church organs
and guard closely the promiscuous
elections of bishops with an eye to
the fact that there are seven active
ones at present.
Almost equal in opinion was SEN
timent for rotation of bishops
about half for and half against. The
poll showed that there is already a
rotation law but not enforced. The
ministers are almost 100 per cent
in favor of a clear and strong trans
fer law, while 60 per cent polled are
in favor of retiring all bishops who
reach age IA retirement age by
law now and 81 per cent are in IA
vor of striking it out. Only four per
cent were non-cOmmital.
All in all it looks like an inter
eSting session. The Rev. r. c.. Tio.
uel, Jr., directed the survey. He
serves as managing editor of Kan.
sas monthly periodical.
