TAYLOR GUILTY
SECOND Time,
AGAIN APPEALS

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. - A Cir
cult Court jury pleased just about
everybody directly conce Tn e d
when 1t convicted Sen. Glen H.
Taylor. Democrat, Idaho, of dis
orderly conduct.
The jury fined Taylor $50 and
sentenced him to $50 days In jail.
That's fine" said Taylor. He
added that the verdict gives him
a nance to test the case in
higher courts through appeal. His
second appeal to the State SUI
preme Court was filed.
City attorneys and Police Com
missioner Eugene Conner agreed
with the senator that the verdict
was fine.
Taylor, then candidate for
Vice President on the ticket with
Henry wallace, was arrested by
city police May 1. 194S. He had
attempted to enter a door reserv-
ed for Negroes at meeting OF
the Southern Negro Youth Con-
gress.
His police Court trial May 4
resulted In q fine of $50 and q
sentence of $50 days. The jail
sentence was suspended. The Cir
cult Court trial was an appeal
from that conviction.
Taylor, on the stand and
through his attorney. contended
the case arose from Birmingham
laws requiring separation of
white persons and Negroes.
Judge George Lewis Bales.
presiding in Circuit Court. dis
agreed in these words:
"If this defendant committed
the acts charged at the entrance
to an old ladies' quilting party, is
he more or less guilty?"
Taylor took the stand to say
segregation is the issue" and to
deny testimony of city witnesses
that he sought to force his way
into the May 1 meeting.

by saying. you ought to give
your business to us, since we're
all colored."

Each night, Sister Dasie opens
the meeting with a quick-fire
speech of you're gonna see mir

Just like you've read about In the
Bible. Only these will be better"
Next In line on the program,
envelopes for offerings are hand

songs, Brother Osborn addresses
the group in a hypnotic voice.
Then a line OF sick forms along
one wall and Osborn undertakes
to drive the foul demon" out of

THINGS THAT INTEREST
WOMEN
BY BESSIE F. BELL
How Do You Look?

Well, girls, the calendar says
that spring Is here. But the
weather indicates otherwise. How
ever. the accepted fact is that we
are definitely making prepara-
lions for gay and festive Easter.
No matter what the weather
may be when the Flower Show
opens at Grand Central Palace in
New York City as it did on Mon
day. March 81, we know that
spring is here to stay.
The flowers are a true indica-
tion Of fashions color trend. This
year for the first time in several
years showing. there seems to be
no ONE color. Instead, the en-
tire show Is one huge rainbow
scattered all around. Yet, in
places where there was need to
point up Beauty and Charm. we
noticed that pink blooms were
used a great deal.
When l left the flower show
dashed in at one of our we'll
known beauty bars and sampled
a few new kinds of lipstick and
rouge.
In lipstick / found a dreamy
shade. Wild strawberry. And
there is matching nail polish
too. Then there is a shade of
pink face powder at your favorite
beauty counter that gives the (no
powder look). And to look real
ly beautiful, use it when you wear
your pink hat.
Oh, I understand that it will
look the same under the light as
when worn during the day.
l also sampled a wonderful new
foundation for powder. If you
are tired and have those tell-tale
circles under the eyes, this base
acts as a sort of disguise and COW
ers over the true state of affairs
and you blossom forth in all your
pink glory.

ming the Waistline," Minerals

ing Attractive" Mention this

Dempsey To Join
Louis IBC?

The latest rumor in Chicago is
that Jack Dempsey will become
an added member of the new Joe
Louis promotional firm, Interna-
tional Boxing Club. A spokes-
man for the group, however. says
it "ain't so.' Louis, out West on
business, could not be reached for
comments. Dempsey said he has
received no offers.
Talk all grew out OF comment
by the ex-heayyweight king that
the old Manassas Mauler would be
good addition to his organiza-
ton.
In the meantime IBC continued
its plans to operate on firm
foundation. From the way things
are shaping up, the IBC will act
as a kind ofco-ordinating agency
for various local promoters. 1t
will round up fighters and ar
range bouts, then put them on In
various stadia In cooperation
with the local promoters.
On this basis IBC would not
run the risk of making enemies
among local boxing men.
Local spokesman for IBC have
also denied that Louis plans some
sort Of tieup with Mike Jacobs.
1t is believed that prices for
the IBC-promoted Ezzard Charles
Jersey Joe Walcott battle will be
at popular" prices of 50 to $40.
