Bishop Nichols SCOTS At Suit
Against ANE Church
White Law Firm Sues For Attorney
FEES

New York, Jan. 3-Bishop d.
Ward Nichols, presiding bishop of
the First Episcopal District of the
AME Church, said here last week
that the more than 100000 as
sets Of the AME Church in the
first district, is not affected by
the warrant of attachment recent
ly issued by the New York State
Supreme Court against the Roard
of Incorporators of the Church, in
favor of a white law firm.
In admitting the existence of
the order last week. the bishop
also stated that the court had
extended the order until Septem,
Der, 1949.
The attachment order was is
sued as result of a suit brought
against the church incorporators
by the law firm of Snitow and
Snitow, to collect from ishop Wal
ker and ishop John A. Gregg and
others, $4,000 of a $4,000 fee
claimed by the firm coacnount of
legal services rendered in the
litigation over the unfrocking of
ishop David HI. Sims.
bishop Nichols, who returned to
the city recently, after leaving on
the eve of the revelation of the
existence of the attachment or
der, is inclined to dismiss the
attachment order lightly. The
suit, he declared, tis not WORTH
the paper it is written on" He
called the entire matter a pub
licity stunt of enemies of the
church, and said, none of our
assets are involved. He also
pointed out that the Board of
Incorporators of the Church,
against whom the suit is filed, is
a Pennsylvania corporation. He
indicated, but did not say, that
the property of the church here is
controlled by the New York An
nual Conference.
Bishop Nichols promised to
give full details of the suit at a
later date.

Philadelphia, Dec. % Especially
A legal test of the United States
Jim Crow army draft has been
launched by a 25-year-old Phila-
delphian, DevereauX Tomillinsoni
filed an equity suit to enjoin the
government from forcing him in
TO what he termed the "segregat-
ed" United States army by draft.
Federal Judge George A. Welsh
scheduled hearing of the case for
Thursday morning, December 80.
Tomlinson, through NAACP
lawyers, maintained that in the
present U. S. armed service set
up, he would be denied "oppor-
tunity for training, service and adj
vancement granted to white in
ductees, solely because of his race
or color.
He sought a preliminary injunc-
ton to restrain the operation of
the Selective Service Act in his
case until the matter is decided.
Meanwhile the draft board held
up action in his case. He was
scheduled to be indicted Tuesday.
The former deck officer in the
Merchant Marine in World War

segregated unit would cause him
embarrassment, pain, anguish
and loss of personal dignity"

willing to stand on his own feet.
Warning that the worst thing now
happening to the Negro is his
loosing the deep religious faith
that sustained his forefathers !;
and an accompanying cynicism
that is leading him to efforts to
rataionalize his conditions by re-
sort to all kinds of exhibitionism
and loud-mouth vulgarity that is
costing him both his self respect
and the respect of others.

The Aiken bill was enacted by
the 80th Congress. Under that
measure farm price supports are
due to go on a sliding scale rang
ing from go per cent to 80 per
cent of parity next January.
At present the major crops are
supported by the Government at
90 per cent of parity which is q

farmers a fair return for their

of things they have to buy.
The plan put forward by Secre-

key feature is a provision to allow
the prices of perishable goods tt
