Big Gifts
 To Mission

Two gifts of major items long needed by the Kodiak Baptist 1 Mission have been made recent fly, William Stone, superinten. dent, disclosed this week ] A recent freighter brought for the mission power tools with , which a shop will be equi ped ''It has long been the desire of the boys and men at the mission for such equipment" Stone said. Included are wood lathe, table saw, band saw, sander, paint sprayer, shaft tools, drill and hand tools.
 Stone said, "l have yet to gather all the facts concerning the source of this wonderful con. tribution, but it is known that Frank McConaghy was behind the whole project"
 The second gift is three ) 4 cubic feet refrigerators, one for each of the three Mission homes in Kodiak. Their purchase was made possible by the 5000 re- ceived from the NOE Com munity Chest Fund, which was divided equally among the three cottages here and Baker Cott. age in Ouzinkie.
 "1t required 8 lot of shopping around" Stone explained, "to 10. cate three refrigerat ors of the 1t qulred size to come close to our share or the money" Just how Baker Cottage is spending its share has not yet been learn ed by the superintendent. MT. Stone pointed out that "only people who live in Kodiak can reallzs just how much need there Is for refrIgerators. Many of our Mission supporters in the states would never consider such an item necessery, and had it not been for thls gift from the base, we would have had to wait long time for such con. veniences

Judge Millen
Tops List

PHILADELPHIA (ANP)- Mu-
nicipal Court Judge Herbert E.
Millen led the slate of five judges
elected to the court in last Tues
days election.
Judge Millen received a vote of
771,993 to GU tdistance the
second man on the slate, Judge
Emanuel w. Beloof, who received
767,437 ballots.
An analysis Of the vote would
indicate the fact that more than
5000 persons made special effort
to cast a vote for Judge Millen,
who was the first Negro to be
named to a court of record in the
history Of Pennsylvania.
Judge Millen was appointed in
October, 1947, by Gov. James M.
Duff to the place on the bench
made vacant by the death of Judge
Charles Brown. The announcement
Of the appointment was made by
Gov. Duff at Convention Hall.
Thus Judge Millen was candidate
for the first time for election to
the bench, However, there was no
doubt of his continuance in Of
flee since the judges on the slate
were supported by the Democra-
tic and Republican parties.
The Judge has recently return
ed to the bench after being absent
for several weeks because Of ILL
ness.

re~sentative of the CLIO. Leaders
of the man called Bindman out
side and warned him: eff you

stay here, you had better get those
Hrs out of here"
When the union official declar-
ed his right to invite whom he
chose to his home, threats against
his two children and his home
home were shouted. He called the
police and accompanied them to
the station with two of the ring
leaders. But the men were i'm
mediately released.
Both Negro and white civic
church and labor group leaders
denounced the friendly attitude
police showed toward the mob
sters, and on Saturday a delega-
ton led by the Civic Rights con-
gress visited the office of Mayor
Martin H. Kennedy to protest.
This latest incident follows the
pattern of recent anti-Negro at
tacks in other sections of the city.
Most recent occurred in the Park
Manor district, another lily-white
neighborhood when a Negro
couple moved into a building it
had purchased. The new owners,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Johnson, are
now suing the city of Chicago for
$4,000 damages that . resulted
from bricks and fire bombs hurl-
ed by the mob.
In addition, personal injury and
other property damage suits in the
Johnson and Bindman incidents
may eventually cost the city a

CHICAGO CAMP Chicago's
race haters moved into new terri
tory last week with their anti-Ne-
gro attacks and launched a four
night reign Of terror against Ne
groes, Jews and progressives.
The stone-throwing mob grew
from SO hoodlums the first night
to more than 5000 on the fourth
night. More than 10 persons were
injured during the clashes, but
police arrested only 50 of the
jeering crowds that surrounded
the home of a white union Of
ficial who had invited fellow
unionists, including Negroes, to
his home.
Target for a hail Of stones and
epithets of "dirty H." "dirty
Jew" and "dirty Red" was the
recently purchased home Of Aaron
Bindman, secretary-treasurer of a
CIO Warehouse and Distribution
Workers local. It is located in a
lily-white area at seth and Peoria
sts., in the Englewood district.
A false rumor that Negroes
had purchased the building and
were moving in touched off the
racial flareup that had officials
putting the city's top police en-
ergency plan into effect. More
