U. S. Grand Jury
In Cicero Case To
Be Picked Ocf. ~
INDICTMENT AGAINST
NAACP LAWYER DROPPED

MAUI LA" 1Eh DhOBBED
Chicago (ANP)-- Events in
the Cicero riots case developed
rapidly last week as Oct. % was
set as the date for the selection
of a federal grand jury to investi-
gate the mob violence and a Cook
County grand jury indictment
against an NAACP attorney de-
Tending the Negro victims Of the
mob action was dropped.
On the federal front, District
Judge John p. Barnes announced
that Monday, Oct. %, ne will
select from a panel Of 46 persons,
% members TO serve on a federal
grand jury to determine whether
or not the riot action violated fed
eral civil rights statutes.
Unitel States Atty. Otto Kerncr
Jr. in Washington, d. c. appointed
Leo F. Tiermey, Chicago attorney,
as special assistant attorney gen.
eral to conduct the federal grand
jury hearings.
The whole problem was created
July 11-12 when as many as 5000
white mobsters looted and nearly
destroyed an apartment building
at 6139 w. 10Th street in the all
white suburb OF Cicero because a
Negro family, Harvey f. Clark
Jr., his wife and two children had
rented an apartment there.
Latest development In the Cook
County end Of the case was the
dropping OF charges against
George N. Leighton, Harvey's at
torney and also counsel for the
Chicago branch NAACP.
Leighton, along with two other
Negroes and two whites, none Of
whom were at the scene of the
riot, was indicted for conspiracy"
TO incite others to riot and to re-
duce the value of other persons
property by causing the apart
ment TO be rented to a Negro
family. This indictment, severely
criticized in Chicago, was turned
in by county grand jury of %
white persons and no Negroes.
In the meantime, more persons
arrested on the scene of the riot
were freed, and II persons did not
even show up for trials Stin
awaiting action was a sixth per-
son indicted by the county grand
jury, Erwin Konovsky, chief Of
Cicero police. He is accused Of
failure to carry out his duty to
enforce law and order at the time
of the riot,
Because local officers did not
act, the Illinois National Guard
had to be called in to restore or
der. Most of the persons arrested
at the scene of the riot were ar
raigned as result of state militia
action.
Local citizens action in protest
of the riot slowed down last week
as the American Council on HUI
man Rights, sponsored by seven
Negro soronties and fraternities,
failed to attract a large crowd at

He was sent to Minneapolis and
given specific instructions by the
Rt. Rev. Bishop George w Baber,
to build a new st. Peters. The first
half year was spent in organic
ing and planning the campaign
for building and adding to our
nest egg" that had been started
by our former pastor, the Rev.
II. c. Boyd.
Rev. NJ. l.. Simmons was very
ably assisted in his presentation
and planning by his very attrac-
tive artist wife, Wynona Wing
Simmons, a graduate of Howard
University and very able artist
Mrs. Simmons took time out to
welcome a new member of the
family, Little Phyllis Marie and
now with Martin Luther Jr.,
age three, they are a happy fam
lily.
Being in a minister's home was
nothing new to the Rev. Simmons
for he had watched his parents as
they ministered to the AME's in
the red hills OF Georgia. He left
home early to attend South Caro-
lima state College, having as his
object earning money. But near
his graduation day God called
him to go into all the world and
preach. With that thought in
minde he attended Howard Uni
versity School of Divinity and
studied under DR.. Howard Thur
man and then later went to ODER
lin U. in Ohio.
He often praises the AME
church in its plans for making
real men. Young ministers, when
they first finish school, think
they can handle the largest
churches and congregations, but
the bishops have a way Of say
ing. Go to that little place son,
make good there and I won't for
get you" Rev. simmons said this
week.
Things were going along fairly
well at st. Peter when tragedy
struck last May 6 and early on

Thoughts on Life
Good Example
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

Al FATHER and mother told me of
an incident in their home which is
worth comment. They became aware
that their children were showing
poor manners at the table. They did
not say please" or thank you''
when asking for or receiving food.
When they left the table, they did
not ask to be excused.
The parents went into a huddle.
They decided that perhaps they were
remiss in dining room courtesies
themselves, SO they resolved to say
nothing to the children by way of
criticism. They did wiser thing.
They started to observe the niceties
of please" and "thank you"
If one had to leave the table, he
asked to be excused. Within 10 days
the children were doing the same as
their parents; following their ex-
ample An ounce of good example is
worth a pound of preaching.
A man once complained to me that
his boy did not want to go to Sun
day school. / suggested that he join
the mems class himself and see what
happened. It worked. The boy.
spruced up and was soon elected
president of his class. sCome along"

Greatest Sermon
Saint Francis of Assist asked
young brother" to go with him to
preach in the streets and towns. The
young man was thrilled to have such
companion. They each took hunk
of coarse bread and started. On the
road they helped people who were in
need. They greeted strangers they
met. Noon came, and the young man
asked, "Sir, when do we begin to
preach?" Saint Francis replied, 1--WE
have been preaching all the time.
Our walk of helpfulness is the great
est sermon we can preach"
| Eugene Ware of Kansas, who wrote
under the name 'Ironquil," was a
skeptic regarding the Biblical stories
and miracles. Each week he took the
family washing to a widow for laun-
dering. The woman was always hum
ming a hymn that she loved. One
Sunday, Ware attended church with
his wife. During testimony service
the laundress arose and gave 9
happy, cheerful testimony to hel
faith. It got Eugene Ware, and he
wrote his famous poem, ''The Wash.
er-Woman's Song" He told the pas,
tor that he could answer his every
argument urged from the pulpit bu
that the CHEEKY testimony of theil
1aundress he could not answer. He
example proved to him the reality o
her faith. Later he became Chris
tan.
