chances of Roy Campanella to re-
main with the Dodgers and to va
cate the bench where he has been
warming since coming to the
Dodgers and taking part in only
two games seemed brighter when
the Dodger front office asked
waivers for the veteran catcher
Bobby Bragan. With the waiver
deal going through it will mean
that Campanella will probably be
retained to assist Bruce Edwards
and Gil Hodges in the receiving
department.
The Brooklyn Dodgers continued
to break down the major league
ban on Negro ball players when
they signed two more Negroes to
contract in the farm clubs of the
Dodgers. Sammy Gee, 10, gradu-
ate of eDtroit's Miller high and
Donald Teasley FL, Junior Of

but when the first order Of bust
ness, the lection of the episcopal
committee, was brought before
the house, strong protests arose
from the floor and the committee
as presented was not accepted.
The epicopal committee passes up
on all questions involving the con-
duct or censure and assignment
Of bishops. The loudest protest
arose over the fact that at least
three bishops had delatives on the
committee as proposed. The con-
tention was that family relation
ships would enable them to have
undue influence upon the commit
tees actions and defeat it's ability
to. be omjective and impartial.
The entire day was spent in a
series of maneuversw it'll delegates
milling about the floor. Emerging
as the foremost parliamentarians
on the floor were DR.. O.. Or
monde Walker of Buffalo and the
Rev. Archibald Carey of Chicago.
Walker proved to be the one per-
son who could command attention
and order.

Of people only, wen though there
were scheduled on the program
two bands, the Grand Exalted
Ruler, of the Elks, j. Finley Will
son, the mayor, the superintendent
of schools, and many other no.
tables.
All those who did participate
were extremely enthused. The
three young orators displayed
much talent, particularly the win
ner, John Middleton, who not
only won by virtue of his super
Tor oratorical department, but be-
cause of the awareness Of race
prejudice which he showed.
1t is mandatory that we mo-
Billie our support of Middleton
so that he will be inspired to go
on and win the state and Ia
tional contests.
And it is mandatory that there
be an infinitely larger participa-
ton of people in the contest next
year. We were there, and we as
sure you, the program was an up
lifting and as constructive as Ne
ro's fiddling was painful and de-
moralizing.
The Elks-Mrs. George in par
ticular-are to be congratulated
for sponsoring this first of an an
ual worthwhile venture.
