Rofe Signs as Tigers Manager;
Salary Reported at $42,5OO
By the Associated Press

DETROIT. Jan. 13.-Robert A..
(Red) Rolfe today signed his
1851 contract to manage the
Tigers, for reported $42, 500, sec
ond highest managerial salary in
the American League.
The 42-year-old Rolfe, who is
beginning his third season as De-
troit pilot, will take a back seat
only to Casey Stengel of the
Yankees when it comes to pay.
Stengel recently signed two
year contract calling for an esti-
mated $4,000 to $4,000 in 1851
and 1852.
Rolfe's new contract is for one
year in keeping with the Tigers
custom not to issue longer ones.
General Manager Billy Evans
said Rolfe's salary was the high
est the Tigers ever paid to a man
ager. He added that one former
manager, Steve O'Neill, now boss
of the Red Sox. got more money
in one season with the Tigers,
but said that was due to a post
season bonus.
O'Neill repeatedly drew $40,-
600 salary in 1948-his last with
Detroit. He repeatedly will get
100000 from the Red Sox in 1851.
Rolfe described himself as very
well satisfied" with the new con-
tract. Best guesses were that the
new contract gives him a boost of
$12,500 over last years figure.
The Tigers front Office lauded
Rolfe for "a fine job in finishing
second last season."
Evans pointed out that Rolfe

Negro Farm Laborers Idle While

Leaders of Both Parties Promise Action
DELEGATES FROM 81 NATIONAL
ORGANIZATIONS AT MEETING
WASHINGTON. Nav 24-Hon

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Hope
for congressional action on the
civil rights program has been re-
vived here by the announcement
that the Senate Rules Committee
will hold open hearings on pro-
posals to change the present clo-
ture rule in order to make it easier
to break fihbusters.
Senator Kenneth Wherry, mi
nority leader, made this announce
ment to the 81 representatives of
81 national organizations who, on
call of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, held civil rights confer
ence here, May 1928.
The Republican leaders an
nouncement followed a conference
which the delegates had with him
and Representative Joseph Mar
tin, minority leader in the House.
During the conference, Senator
Wherry told the delegates that he
would present their request for
scheduling of hearing on rules
change to the committee, which
was meeting Immediately there
after.
He returned to the delegates
while they were in conference
with Senator Ernest w. McFar-
land, majority leader, to announce
dramatically the unanimous de-
cision of the Senate Rules Commit
tee to again take up the issue of
changing the Senate rule on clo-
ture.
Speaking on behalf of the dele
cation. Walter White, NAACP
executive secretary, told the con-
gressional leaders of both parties
that the group considered a change
in the rules as "the first step in
clearing the way for enactment of
civil rights bills" He and other
members of the delegation cited
the impossibility of surrounding
the present requirement of con-
stitutional two-thirds vote to shut
off endless debate on measures
before the Senate.
Wherry Defends Rule
Senator Wherrv, who co-spon-
sored the so-called compromise
rule with Senator Carl Hayden 3D.,

asserting that it was workable and

Chicago, H., May % (DSN)-
DR.. Joseph H. Jackson, Pastor of
Olivet Baptist Church was given
the highest praise from both fac
ulty members and students for his
address, last Monday, to the Di-
vinity School of the University of
Chicago.
In his address the noted orator
and preacher, who is native of
Mississippi, and graduate of
Jackson College, said:
students must come forth with
certainties, unquestioned certain
ties, because the world already had
doubts enough. If schools of reli-
gion and education in general are
to keep abreast of the times they
must do more than prepare candi-
dates for positions. Already, many
positions and professions are over
crowded. A successful graduate
must be more than a candidate for
positions that do not exist. The
time has passed when a graduate
student must go forth only with
the latest theories about life. We
are forced to look to schools Of re-
ligion and to leaders of Christian
thought for a constructive and
creative approach to the problems
of life. Modern science in recent
years has geared itself to a pro-
gram of mass slaughter and de-
struction. The crises of the times
are demanding that our scientists
give to Us secret weapons for mill
tary use and conquest. The Atom
Bomb is a case in point. Our scien-s
lists today, for the most part, are
not committed to the type of work
which engaged Edison, Burbank,
George Washington Carver, etc.
These scientists were concerned
about the construction and growth
OF the human enterprise. They
labored necessarily to give man
new techniques, and new methods
of economic, social, and cultural
advancements. Their laboratories

States Court of Appeals began
deliberations OH their decision in
the segregated schools case in
which was presented the first d.

Lawyers for the Negro citizens
who brought the suit against
Clarendon schools urged that the
extension of time be denied and
that segregation be outlawed i'm
mediately in the county school
system.
Chief defense counsel Robert
McFigg, Jr., told the court that
South Carolina wants to solve its
social problems through educa-
ton. He pointed out that Northern
states ended school segregation as
the feelings of their citizens
charged and not under federal
court pressure.
Thurgood Marshall, chief coun-
