We here in Ohio are listed as
having a total current require
ment of As billion dollars, almost
twice the needs of the State of

The report shows that out of
the 100000 people employed in
selling and servicing vehicles at
least $4,000 persons are engaged
directly in the construction and
maintenance of highways and
streets.
Construction of the needed i'm

ed, will provide a total of 19,491,-
455,OOO hours Of on-off site en-
ployment. 1t is valso estimated
that an additional 23,191, ,944,O 900

The estimated total travel in

From this report it would seem
as if Ohio had better begin a high

Christianity
Opposed TO
Segregation Laws
By Vernon Jarret

CHICAGO (ANP)- DR.. Ro-
bert G. Lee, president of South
ern Baptist convention, made it
clear here this week that no SER
mons favoring civil rights would
be preached from his pulpit.
Furthermore, Christianity and
segregation can get along just
fine together according to this
leader of $4,000 white delegates
to the giant meeting held her in a
Northern city for the first time.
DR.. Lee, a mild hammered, pious
speaking man who should be ap-
preaching 60, said the duty Of the
Baptist church is to "preach
Christ and let politics alon."
Asked if he thought the Dixie
crat movement was un-C Christian
and if he had ever preached
against it in his Memphis church,
DIR. Lee said, mo-.
"Gov. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina is a personal
friend of mine," he said. 81 once

Just like I said," he continued,
Nigras want to be to themselves"
What would Christ do if he re-
turned today? Would he oppose
segregation, or let it alone?
DR.. Lee said, "Chirst would de-
vote his time to fighting other bat
ties, such as liquor drinking and
the sperad of Goddess Commun-
