siding bishop, here Sunday after
noon at the Avery Chapel Church,
First and Clay streets.
Rev Kolen Removed
The most important change an
nounced was in Oklahoma's out
standing AME church, the host
congregation, Avery Chapel at Ok
lahoma City. The Rev. S E. Ko-
len. pastor for about seven years,
was removed to the Northeast
Conference, which technically

Lawton, was removed to pastor at
Grant Chapel, Lawton View, and

Promptly at 6 p. m, as previous
ly announced, Bishop Clayborn
presided over the period scheduled
for announcement of appointments
and Immediately proceeded to dis
pei from minds of the vast throne
Widespread rumors that change of
pastors would be reprisals for
those ministers who supported
the former administration of Geo
rye E. Curry, who was foud guilty
of church Irregularities in SEN
sational ecclesiastical trial held in
Tulsa in April. 1916.
The presiding bishop reminded
the overflow congregation that

clerk and ride the trains and see the
broad reaches of the Illinois prairie
between Mendoza on the north and
Centralia on the south.
Attainment Of that boyhood ambi-

and varied career in the postal serv-

back his secretary told him President
Truman was on the telephone. That
was As minutes before the White
House announced his appointment.
He told me Hannegan had re-
signed and he would like me to be
Postmaster General, provided I
would accept" Mr.. Donaldson said.
"Of course, there was never any
question about my acceptance. It's
most difficult for fellow to say any
thing when he is surprised like that,
but I did tell the President he had
just knocked me out of my chair"
Placid Disposition
Knocking Mr.. Donaldson out OF a
chair in any literal sense would be
quite a job He is a stockily built
man of 62, just under 6 feet tall and
he prides himself that his weight
has not varied more than pound
one way or another from 200 for
many years.
His sturdy legs he attributes to
those long walks delivering mail in
Shelbyville and his bulging shoul-
ders to the pack of letters and
periodicals he carried on his route.
He still shudders a bit when he re-
calls the days when the magazines
published by E. G. Lewis, founder
Of University City, came out.
THAT fellow had sent solicitor
into Shelbyville and I think he
signed up every house on my route" ,"
Mr.. Donaldson said.
Above the shoulders is a massive
head. The joWls are heavy, the lips
thick, the eyes blue and thinning
iron-gray hair is slicked back neatly.
His disposition is placid, his move
ments slow and deliberate. One re-
porter who attended his first press
conference as Postmaster General
designate was reminded of friend
