Williams said that he intended

Police ordered a round the-clock

chief of police for the round-the-

his family.
The group also denounced the
bombing and pointed out that there
have been few homes built fer
colored persons in the past 20
years. In commenting on this scar
city of new homes, the group said
in part:
"Only five percent of all the pri-
vate houses built in Memphis in the
past 20 years has been for Negroes.
nety-eight percent of the SUM
dwellings are occupied by Negroes.
Most of the desirable areas fo:-
development have already been zon-
ed for white citizens. The only rea-
sonable hope for expansion of hous-
ing for Negroes is for them to
move in areas like the one in ques-
ton; as whites move out to better
housing communities.

Your Advertising In The Jackson

Does direct advertising to the Negro Market pay?
1t depends where that advertising is placed

If you can't live a oneless life
For Gods sake, live alone
Love it makes a oneless home
Where there is no love it's hell to
get along.
That which Gods puts together
Let not man put asunder, that's
right
Wherever there is two bosses in a
home
More or less it's hell of a fight
This world is disturbed with UNI
equal yokes
Marrying for money and fine
automobile
When you lose your job, your
money runs out
| can imagine about just how you
feel.
You feel like you made mistake
| imagine you see | am telling you
right
Then comes your trouble | see
And the next thing a hell of a
fight.
The reason | say it is a hell of a
fight
It's an unequal yoke as we'll
And wherever there is a home
without any love
It's a home that is full of some
hell.
Sin doesn't agree with love today
Sin seeks to destroy your home
Sin is looking for truble everyday
Sin is a disease of all wrong.
When you read of Gods man
Sometimes write me a few lines
God gave me this talent, yes He
did
To change some poor sinners
mind.
This is a day of hurry in life
Sin makes you lose sight of Gods
love
Sin has a hell, it's all below
But the kingdom of God is above.
We have got to clean out Gods
house
It's begged up in sin
With out women begging sinners
And with lots of hell supporting
men.
If you love to read the truth
Notify me sometime
The Lord gave me this gift,
And | am on the main line.

Eisen1loWer'S address after re-

Catholic University yesterday
folloUS:
Your eminences, your ex-
cellencies, right reverend faith
ers, members and friends of
the great family of Catholic
University:
First, should like to make
of record the deep sense of
distinction I feel in the honor
conferred upon me by the
trustees of this great univer-
sity. I personally feel that
the greatest honor that can
come to an individual under
the various aspects of our
Western civilization is to be
awarded an honorary doctor
ate by one of our great educa-
tional institutions.
I should like also to address
a word to your new rector.
Now, my own sojourn as a
president of a university was
not long enough to entitle me
to speak to him in words of
advice. Moreover, sir. I should
say that fairness and frank
ness compels me to say that I
heard no great clamor or out
cry or protest or incidents of
any kind when I left the
exalted ranks of college presi-
dents. and again donned the
uniform of my country.
