God, man and the hydrogen
bomb will be the three-part
theme of special Ash Wednes-
day Washington Birthday service
at the Washington Cathedral.
'I don't expect to get miracle
or solution" the Rt. Rev. Angus
Dun, Bishop of Washington, said
in explanation of his plan. 1t is
backed up by the Washington
Federation of Churches which he
heads.
The all-day observance will
begin at 10 am. Wednesday.
More than $50 ministers have
been invited by letter to attend
Holy Communion at that time.
This gathering is not intended
to produce resolutions, the
Bishop continued. 1T was not
inspired by fear. 1t is not to
criticize any political leadership
Or anybody. 1t is call to
look into ourselves-a chance to
make the church and it's message
tie in with the times
Columnist to Speak.
'"The Epistle will be read by
the Rev. Oscar F. BlackWelder,
minister of the Lutheran Church
of the Reformation and the Cos
pei by the Rev. Robert w. Brooks,
minister of the Lincoln Congre-
gational Temple.
Marquis Childs, columnist, will
speak at II am. Senators Hum
phrey, Democrat, of Minnesota,
and Lodge, Republican. of Massa-
chusetts, will speak at 8 pm.
They will be followed by two
ministers at 4 p.m.-the Rev.
Clarence w. Crawford, Calvary
Baptist Church, and Bishop Dun.
Asked the nature of the ad-
dresses, Bishop Dun said: Il don't
know. I asked the speakers to
come as humans and bring their
testimony"
Throughout the day, IN the
periods between the special oc-
casions, there will be readings and
prayer.
Letter is Quoted.
In his letter to the ministers,
Bishop Dun wrote:
Together we shall offer to
God our prayers for our common
humanity We all recognize
the tragic disorder of our world
and the special responsibilities of
our Nation. The public discus
sion of the so-called hydrogen
bomb intensifies our human fears
and enmities. The terrible de-

Injured Sons Need
For Milk Starts
Family On Road

GALVESTON Tex. - CAMP
- If one of Hulen T. Rigsby's
boys hadn't been placed on diet
that called for an ample milk
supply after his skull was frac-
tured in a baseball game nine
years ago, perhaps the RigsbyS
would not now be operating "a
$40, O00-year-year dairy and cattle
breeding enterprise.
For years, Mr.. Rigsby, once a
tile floor layer of Galveston, Tex.
spent his spare time reading dairy
magazines and wishing for a herd
says the Texas State Extension
Service in a report to the U. S.
Department of Agriculture last
week.
Then one day in 1941, he was
called to the hospital. One of his
two boys, Hulen, Jr., was there
with a fractured skull. He had
been struck by a slung bat during
a baseball game.
When the boy was home from
the hospital, the doctor advised
that he be given all the milk he
could drink every day. Mr.. and
Mrs. Rigsby decided that the only
way for them to ensure an ade-
quate milk supply for their son
was to buy cow.
They scrap together their saw
ings and bought Jersey. The
first year, the cow not only gave
enough milk for their injured son
and the rest of the family, but
produced $435 worth more which
was sold to neighbors.
That settled it. Mr.. Rigsby
was going to be dairyman. He
then took job at dairy to learn
more about it. But he kept his
own cow and gradually increased
his herd to nine head. In 1914,
the Rigsby sold their home in
Galveston and bought 40 acres Of
,swampy salt grassland few miles
away in the Dickinson commun-
ity.
Also, they sold their nine grade
Jerseys and bought one purebred
for $3.50.
81 didn't want just herd" says
Mr.. Rigsby, 81 wanted a purebred
Jersey herd like those Il read
about in the dairy magazines"
The next year, the draft num-
bers of his two sons came up.

POWELL WINS
AGAIN I'm N. Y.

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Rep.
Adam Clayton Powell Numbered
back into office again as he was
reelected by a wide margin over
his two opponents. Elmer A. Car
ter, running on the Republican
ticket made a woefully weak
showing, gathering only 1888
votes.
Powell attracted 35,O28 ballots.
John Quillian of the American
Labor party could garner only
5,O34 votes in the congressional
race.
Four Negroes were elected to
the state general assembly -
Joseph Pinckney, Elijah Crump,
Hulan E. Jack, and Bertram l..
Baker, all Democrats.
New York City went complete
ly Democratic although the state
went Republican except for the

election of Sen. Herbert Lehman.
Many Republicans voted for Leh-
man and in the city for Vincent
Impelliterri for mayor.
A large number of COPS voted
for Powell on one point - senior
ity in house committees - the
same principle that keeps the
South in the saddle. He campaign
ed on this plus the FEPC.
Although four newspapers, the
Daily News, Herald Tribune,
Times and Post, supported Carter
over Powell, Carter lost. Poor
leadership is said to be respon-
Sible for his weak showing.

PAUL ROBESONS
AT
SOVIET EMBASSY
RECEPTION

WASHINGTON - (ANP) -
The Robesons were the center of
attraction at the reception held at
the Soviet Embassy here last
Tuesday night in celebration of
the 33rd anniversary of the Great
Socialist Revolution.
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrea
Vishinsky hurried the length of
the foyer to meet Robson as he
assembled the heavy-maroon-car-
peted stairway, and greeted the
artist with spontaneous warmth.
Throughout the entire evening.
the senior Robesons and their son
and daughter-in-law, Paul Jr.,
and wife, were surrounded by
group after group as they sat in
the scarlet-hung, gold-frescoed
drawing room of the embassy.
The young Robson, a Cornell
graduate is now teaching electri-
cal engineering in a school for
GI's in New York, and his charm
; ing wife, the former Miss Marilyn
'GreenSberg, is teaching nursery
school in that city.
The hundreds of guests were re-
ceived in the wide foyer by the
Soviet Minister Vishinsky and
Ambassador Panyuskin, who was
decked out in his black diplomatic
uniform with scrools of gold braid
about the collar and cuffs.
Coming down to Washington
from the UN to attend the annual
celebration of the Red revolution
Vishinsky made a courtesy call on
Secretary of State Dean Acheson,
but denied any discussion on the
Korean situation.
A number of Negroes were
among the huge throng which cir
culated through the scarlet room,
the gold room, the huge dining
room and the drawing partaking
of the Russian caviar, turkey,
ham, creamed chicken, shrimp,
lobster and bourbonS.

Texas Family Has $50, 1000 Yr. Dairy
MIAMI TIMES, MIAMI, FLORIDA
PAGE SIX SATURDAY, NOVEMBER Is, 1850

Hulen, Jr., who was in college at
Prairie View AIM college, went
into the navy and James into the
army. In 1916, Hulen came home,
obtained a CT loan and bought a
third interest in his fathers dairy
and cattle breeding farm. During
James three-year service period,
he sent money home all along to
pay for his one-third interest in
the enterprise.
Today, the partners own 80
head of purebred Jersey cows and
two purebred Jersey bulls valued
at $4,000. One of the bulls came
from Canada, and the other from
the Isle of Jersey. Mr.. RigSby
makes trip to Brampton, Onta-
rio, every year to get a. carload
of Jerseys. Most of these he sells,
the rest he keeps to continue
building up the family herd.
Last year, their herd produced
an average of 70 gallons of milk
a day which brought them a milk
check of close to $1,000 a month.
But milk is just sideline. Pro-
ducing purebred Jersey calves is
really their business. During the
same period, they sold Is of their
own calves for $4,000 and gave
two young bulls to Alters.

ton is all for an indoor swimming
pool and a ood-lighted stadium

Coolidge High School was men

suggested.
"Why not all the schools?"
another said.
Graham L. Hill, who remembers
his days at Mckinley when there
were no facilities said that the
cost of such items is important.
The group voted to refer the
matter to its recreation commit
tee to determine which location
would be more economical and
profitable.
Members also opposed a oro-
posal to change the name of

In other business, the group
voted to oppose the bill now be-
fore Congress to extend Saturday
night drinking hours from mid
night to 2 am.

Outside Pools
Need edFor
Youth

The tragedy of Annie Louise
Hill, 1887 Home Avenue, 11-yeal
old girl who was drowned earlier
this week accentuates some things
which people do not like to or
dinarily talk about, but which
must be faced and conquered Sc
that future occurrences can be
averted.
1t is indicative of something
which doesn't require too much
explanation to say that each year
in this area it is the same thing
a Negro youth is generally the
first of the season to drown. Ne
groes are always the greatest
sufferers of this type of tragedy.
They are of course restricted to a
day at Bryant Park and the Mid
dletown pool. They are banned
from all municipal pools in Day
ton.
That is not to say that speci-
fic factors entered into this ira
gedy, for no outdoor pools are
open yet, but the point is brought
home by such drownings even
when they happen this early. At
the end of last summer the MA
ACP initiated action against the
pools, but the seasonal closing of
them quoted everything down.
There is another ramification
of this incident which should be
very seriously considered by all
parents. It would not be neces-
sary to make this point if there
were sufficient recreational areas
on the west side, but there aren't

Henson, the only Negro in the

received a special plaque from

"The achievement of Perry's ex-
