Governor Thomas ]. Herbert
The State of Ohio
Dear Governor Herbert:
II was authorized by the Gen.
eral Conference of the A. M. e..
Church, recently held in Kansas
City, Kansas, to send to you this
resolution, which explains itself.
It was unanimously passed by the
General Conference, consisting of
1910 representative delegates from
every state in the Union and
foreign districts.
A great deal of discussion pre-
coded its adoption, because of the
aroused interest throughout the
nation over the deplorable con-
sequences at one of our oldest
educational institutions Wilber-
force University, located near
Xenia, Ohio. These delegates felt
that you, as an honorable officer
of the great state, which has
long oooperated in the work OF
education at Wilberforce, would
see to it that our plea for our
own school would raech the ears
Of the State Legislature and
grant us the privilege of contin-
uing to handle the school our
selves, and thus withdraw from
competing with us, at the same
time avoid maintaining a tax-sup-
ported school. exclusively for Ne
groes in the State Of Ohio.
We don't wont to believe that
the State of Ohio would go so far,
contrary to its own immortal
traditions"
The resolutions certified to by
Bishop C. Ransom, President Of
the Bishops Council and DR.. Rus
sell s. Brown, Chief Secretary Of
the General Conference are as
follows:

WHEREAS, prior to June 1e47,
these schools were operated az

NEGROES in Rebuilding
z Burned Churches
BY the Associated Press

MONROE, Ga, Jan. 3.-The white
residents of Walton County today
scheduled a mass meeting at the
courthouse here next Friday to raise
funds for the reconstruction Of two
Negro churches at Logansville, re-
Gently burned.
C. w. Sherlock, president of the
Monroe Walton County Chamber of
Commerce, said he thought the idea
a mice gesture" toward the Negro
residents of the county and Logans-
vile.
He said that if enough funds were
raised, the citizens planned to pur-
chase two 500-seat chapels from the
War Assets Administration.
The burning of the churches and
Negro school house at Logans-
vile attracted nationwide attention
since Walton was the county In
which four Negroes were lynched
in 1945.
Several weeks after the structures
were burned Walton police an
nounced the, arrest of a Negro

Mr.. Royal commented that the

Gov. Green, Brooks
To Seek denomination
In Illinois Campaign
By Gould Lincoln

With formal announcements yes
terday by Gov. Dwight H. Green
and Senator c. Wayland Brooks
that they would seek denomination
the Illinois 1s48 political campaign
takes definite shape.
The Democrats are planning to
run Adlai E. Stevenson for Gov
ernor and Prof. Paul Douglas for
Senator. The former is a grandson
Of Vice President Stevenson of
Grover Clevelands second term.
Prof. Douglas University of Chicago
served in the economist, served in
the Marine Corps during World
War II.
Gov. Green is seeking a third
term. No former Governor of IlIi-
nois has had three consecutive
terms. He will be opposed in the
April 13 primary by 1t. Gov. Hugh
Cross and Warren Wright, former
State treasurer. Gov. Green is the
odds-on favorite.
Pivotal Election State.
Illinois is one of the pivotal
States in a national election. Presi-
dent Roosevelt carried it four times,
but In 1910. and again in 1914, the
Republicans were able to elect Gov.
Green.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, re-
Gently declared his intention to re-
main in the Senate and not to
make a bid for the gubernatorial
nomination.
Gov. Green frequently has been
mentioned as a favorite-son candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination. Illinois will hold a
preferential presidential primary
also on April 13. With Gov. Green
meeting opposition in his race for
, denomination, he may wish to con-
centrate on the gubernatorial NOM
nation.
The presidential primary is not
binding-merely advisory-on the
Illinois delegates to the Republican
National Convention. Col. Robert
R. Mccormick, publisher of the
Chicago Tribune, has announced
himself for Senator Taft of Ohio
foF the presidential nomination, and
Is expected to throw his influence
into the fight to elect delegation
favorable to Senator Taft.
=. Brooks Elected in 1910.
Senator Brooks was elected to the
Senate in 1910. to fill vacancy
caused by the death of Senator
James Hamilton Lucas, and was re-
elected in 1912. Senator Brooks
served in the Marine Corps during
World War 1 with an outstanding
record for gallantry in action. He
was wounded seven times and re-
ceived the Distinguished Service
Cross, the Navy Cross, the Croix
de Guerre and the Purple Heart. He
Is looked on as sure winner in
the election next fall.
The only possible chance of a
bitter fight among the Republicans
appears to have been ironed out.
Representative Stratton and State
Treasurer Richard Rowe, both with
many friends in the organization,
were opposing each other for the
nominal ton for Secretary of State.
With the announcement of 1t. Gov.
Cross that he would run for the
gubernatorial nomination, Mr.. Rowe
declared himself a candidate foT
I. lieutenant governor, leaving the way
clear for Mr.. Stratton to run for
Secretary of State Mr.. Stratton has
been a representatiye-at-large, but

Secretary of the Army Royal rec.
commended yesterday that the Law
governing retirements of Army ano
Navy officers for disability be
changed.
Mr.. Royal said that complaints
about the disability payments were
principally the result of "a statute
that should be changed" He made
the statement in a letter to Secre-
tary of Defense Forrestal, who made
it public together with a letter to
President Truman transmitting the
names of 25.582 Army, Navy. Air
Force and Marine officers retired
for physical disability.
The White House has called on
the services to clear up any abuses
of the retirement system. The
House and Senate Armed Services
Committees also are investigating
the matter, and the same list of
names will be sent to them.
Mr.. Royal wrote that II am in
formed that every case in which
complaint was made to the War De-
partment was thoroughly investi-
gated without disclosing improperly
in the action taken"
He quoted from report in 1916
by a special assistant to former
Secretary of War Robert P. Patter-
son. That investigator, Mr.. Royal
said. reported that:
The real difficulty lay in the law
itself, including the fact that dis
