February II, in his sermon sug-
gested that Negroes be invited to
an interracial service at his church
Sunday night, February "a, aban-

on the advice of a lawyer.
The lawyer, who was not identi-

that his plan was contrary to the

The pastor is the Rev. I. T.
Fowler of the Park Avenue Presby-

segregation was necessary to pre-
serve the races and to prevent in
terracial marriages. That, he said
however, should not prevent white
