Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1951-03-31

Attorney Pierre Howard in open
ing the case of Bishop Greene in
troduced a letter from Bishop
Wright to Bishop Greene which
stated "When you receive this let
ter | shall be happy at my work
in Arkansas"
Howard disputed the fact that
contributions had declined since
Bishop Greene came to Georgia
stating that the action was filed
only one day after he was in the
state.
He asked the court to respect
the fact Bishop Wright had been
moved by unanimous vote with all
bishops present voting"
Howard further argued that
President E. c. Mitchell was not
party to the suit.
Howard introduced a legal suit
brought in New York Supreme
Court. The case was Washington
VS.. Sims. 1t was revealed that
Bishop r. r. Wright had brought
this action against Bishop David
H. Sims, after the Bishops Council
had made a similar shift in its
ranks, several years ago.
First witness to take the stand
was E. A. Adams who denied ever
receiving any letter from President
W. A. Fountain, Jr., admitting any
shortage.
Sidney A. Jones was then called
to testify and told that laymen of
Georgia had sent letters of protest
to the Bishops Council but they
were never read.
Jones hit 1.-The rivalry between
the bishops to come to Georgia
for rich return.
President w. A. Fountain, Jr.,
former president of Norris Brown
College, was called to the stands,
but was excused when Judge Moore
ruled out any question as to alleg-
ed shortages and misuse of college
funds.
Bishop R. R. Wright, Jr., who
figured in the three way shift of
bishops, was called to the witness
stand next.
Bishop Wright denied any part
or knowledge of the suit and said
he had never seen Atty. Aaron
Kravitch before.
Bishop Wright told how Presi-
dent Fountain had nishandled
funds at the college and had offer
ed restitution. Because Of this the
Board of Trustees voted to dis
charge DR.. Fountain stating they
no longer had any confidence.
After being ordered to restore
Fountain he did. but the trustees
discharged him again.
Asked by Atty. Howard if this
action met with his approval.
Bishop Wright answered at GER
tainly did,"
Bishop Wright told of an in
formal meeting of the Bishops
Council on July 6, 1850 and Of his
being told to restore DR.. Fountain.
He said he told the Council that
they were asking me to do an IL
legal thing.
Several references were made to
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1951-03-31

the United Negro College fund in
connection with the dismissal Of
DR.. Fountain.
However, Judge Moore struck all
reference to DR.. Fountain mis-
handling funds from the record
stating that his actions were not
involved in the injunction proceed
ings.
Bishop Wright testified that
there was mo unrest in Georgia
except that manufactured outside"
He justified the actions of the
Bishops Council by stating 81 have
been an African Methodist minis
ter for so years. Whether we feel
it just or unjust when transferred,
it is our duty to go. The Church
thought it was just-It was not
for me to say"
Commenting on his transfer,
Bishop Wright said IL have never
seen a case like this when the
Council moves a man for doing
right"
The court recessed after this
testimony.
Bishop Greene was the first wit
ness at the afternoon session. He
testified that Bishop Wright was
moved after groups of complaints%
had been filed against him.
He confirmed an Atlanta Daily
World story of March IA which
said he contemplated no immediate
changes at Morris Brown.
Bishop David said the Bishops
Council moved Bishop Wright be-
cause lit was to his advantage to
move him out of Georgia"
Bishop D. Ward Nichols and
Frank Madison Reid followed him
to the stand and justified the
Bishops Councils action in Los
Angeles.
Judge Moore limited arguments
to only one phase Of the complaint.
Attys. Howard and Kravitch were
allowed fifteen minutes for closing
arguments.
Before ruling on the complaint
Judge Moore stated it was "the
first time Methodists have been in
such a row."
He termed the whole affair ian
unfortunate falling out" Judge
Moore said "a lot has been said
about the bishops, but all are in
telligent and devoted to the church.
None has ever been connected with
any crime 3. you ought to get be-
hind them and build them up"

large number of invitations have
already been mailed out for the
Jefferson-Jacks Day Dinner, and
that great attendance was ex-
pected. The president said, that
even though invitations were just
mailed out during the middle of
last week the reservations have al
ready started coming in. In further
comment on the dinner he said that
it was noted that no announce
ment had been for the place for
the Jefterson-Jackson Day Dim
ner, which he said would depend on
the number of reservations, and
urged that those who will attend
the dinner sand in their reserva-
ton as early as possible.
An all out effort is being made,
the President said, to secure Con-
gresham William L. Dawson as
speaker for the dinner and pub
lie meeting planned by the asso
citation. Speakers already listed he
said include Hon. Joseph F. AL
bright, Washington, d. c., and
Pres. ARENA c. Mallory, of the

the power of the court" to enjoin
Bishop Wright or Bishop Greene.
He continued with 81 am impress
ed with the integrity of the two

Thomas, Jessie Brinson, Nathaniel
Brady, Sandy Allen and Sidney A.
Jones. Others listed in the action
were E. Shuller, T. Sampson, Mrs.
Julia Sampson, Miss Rebecca Dick
erson, and R. R. Wright.
Atty. Kravitch in his opening
statement hit the "star chamber
tactics" of the Bishops Council,
and asked the court to enjoin this
illegal action
He said NEGRO ministers have
come here from all over Georgia
under the threat of disciplinary
action"
Kravitch insisted that ministers
favored the retention of DR.. E. c..
Mitchell and suggested that Judge
Moore poll the courtroom.
The attorney said that unless the
injunction was granted three things
would happen: "a the great bulk
Of members would quit the AME
Church completely; GU great num-
bers will remain but won't contri-

He asked the court to let the in

Bishops are able to adjust their
differences.

A group of laymen, led by Sid

been granted temporary injunc-

Judge Moore said when such ac-
ton was taken he would confer
with Bishop Greene and Attorney
Pierre Howard and Marvin O'Neal,
the latter having filed the petition
for Atty. Aaron Kravitch, who
argued the case for the laymen.
Judge Moore refused to take any
action on whether the Bishops
Council had any right to transfer

 Baseball Game Planned
 In the afternoon there will be soft ball game and other sports. Boats will be at the disposal of those who wish a ride out on the waters of the lake.
 Then, while the sun is still high in the western heavens. the emp ty dishes can be slowed away in the old jalopy and the men get home to meet the cows waiting at the gate.
 Dairymen all over the country have been some of our most suc- cessful in building and operating cooperatives.
 AS a boy, I was raised in the atmosphere of a creamery coop erative. My dad was for many years secretary and manager of our local cooperative creamery ana so l lmblbed the gospel Of such an organization.
 Those creameries of the middle west were tremendously success full. The one at Clark's Grove, Minnesota, was the first coopera- tive creamery to be organized in the United States, soon a century ago. Getting together, and work ing together, in those creamerieS, the pioneer farmers learned the lesson of strength in unity. But Q be successful, there had to be har- mony and complete understand ing between all the members of the organization. And one of the places they learned to get along together was at their dairy and creamery picnics, and in a later day, the Farm Bureau gatherings.
 So, let's have more picnics! and be at this one!-Herman Turner.

Council
.Reaffirms Policy Of
Closed Meetings =

The Montgomery County Council
has decided that the public inter-
est is best served by it's present
practice of holding both closed
and open sessions.
In reply to a Montgomery
County Press Association resolu-
ton, asking that all council meet
ings be open to the press and pub
lie, the council said. in a statement
yesterday, that closed meetings
are provided for by the charter
and it believes they serve a useful
purpose.
The closed meetings. for the
past year, have been of about 21a
to 3 hours duration. while an
average of 8 to 9 hours per week
has been devoted to open execu-
tive sessions" the statement con-
tinued. The only objection ap-
pears to be that there are too
many closed meetings. This, of
course. is a matter of opinion"
The council operates on a part
time basis. The closed sessions
help to make up for the lack of
day-to-day contacts which would
occur if the council were on a full
time basis. The council holds an
open public session every week.
The. councils official acts are
in the form of resolutions. These
must be discussed at one meeting
and adopted at another meeting
Like any other business, the public
business requires preliminary study
and discussion, and the weekly
closed sessions furnish an oppor-
tunity to meet with administrative
oficials and informally discuss the
problems presented.
Premature disclosure at open
meetings of planned county opera
tions can have an adverse effect
on public business"
Mrs. Stella B. Werner, council
member, noted, when the state
ment was handed to reporters at
the meeting yesterday, that she
had not had a chance to study the
statement and did not want to be
recorded as concurring in its
opinions.
