Arkansas-born Bishop. Once the
odds were ten to one for a sus-
pension, but the fighting Clayborn
spirit along with eight OF the best
legal brains won by a nose.
Let's not forget the man who
once said, Il don't want to be a
great man, just a good man." Rev.
erend v. M. Townsend. The Clay
born and Townsend combination
dates back some 40 odd years; to
gether they seem to make a win
ming team. When Clayborn was
candidate for the bishopric, there
was time when things looked
dark for the brother. Then Uncle
Vince" walked through the dele
cations, saying, "Clayborn is the
man. Results-Bishop Clayborn
won the high office for which he
had been aspiring for years.
AT the last General Conference,
they were in different factions.
Clayborn lost most of his battles
because he didn't have Townsend,
the man who could inspire the
confidence Of the people in his
program. Townsend lost most of
his battles because he didn't have
the fighting spirit Of Clayborn.
Since then, Clayborn must have
realized this; for when the good
brethren of Tennessee decided to
try for his scalp, he forgot that
he had ever been on the "outs"
and called him in. Townsend
pulled more strings than an OPP
orator of puppet show, and COW
cred more miles faster than Henry
Wallace on his tour through the
South.
Bishop Gregg read the indict-
ment at the trial. Defense Coun-
sci read a general denial. The is
sue was whether or not Bishop
Clayborn should be suspended. A.
mong the specific denials in the
general denial were these saying
the defendant did not maladmin-
lister any pension law. (The
church money that Clayborn was
alleged to have converted had
been sent to the department, ac-
cording TO the cousel for the
defense) The defendant did not
deposit the mission fund of the

Statistics

New York (CNS)-For three
days the learned Professor Doxey
Wilkerson tied up the trial of the
Ii big brains of the Communist
Party who are being charged with
conspiring to overthrow the U. 5.
Government. Wilkerson appeared
with all kinds of charts, graphs,
etc. to show that there is a fed
eral plot afoot which deprives the
common man of jury duty and
that the rich dominate justice at
least locally in New York. And to
prove his carefully wrought
points. Wilkerson called in some
grand jurors.
Wilkerson's common men turned

when asked If he were White or
Negro, responded; Il am OF the
American race. He stuck to this
non discriminatory answer until
Judge Harold r. Medina got HIM
to agree that for the record he
was white. Another witness, CIT
ing himself as jobless business
consultant, when asked about
race, snapped:
"rm white-just a little sun
burned
Meanwhile Wilkerson continued
so with his statistics that even liVe
of the defendants asked to be OK,
cused saying they had to attenc
to other matters. The Court srah'

There is still time to visit that

A GREAT PENoLOGIsT

DR.. Miriam Van Waters is COM
ing out Of the fire Of prosecution
tried and a proven great penolo-
gist-our state has all too fewl
What makes a penologist great?
To overcome the outworn idea
Of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT
with the new one of CRIME AND
CHARACTER. Her enlightened
leadership in this most difficult
field of crime, where so many
politicians fatten at the expense
of offenders, made enemies bent
on ousting her 1--WE hope she'll
confound them, and be restored
to her post of leadership.
A great penologist knows all
human nature is touched with a
dark blot. Every soul has just so
much to overcome. The folks that
fall into the hands Of law are
not necessarily bad. They were
misguided, absorbed in their own
interests. In pursuing their own
ends they forgot to respect rights
of others. Thus they became pub
lie offenders, nuisances, and
wards For erring humanity the
great penologist feels compassion
knows they are sick, needing a
hospital far more than a cell, a
friend more than a guard, under
standing far more than criticism.
