IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our Dad,
Jacob Bethel, who passed away a
year ago today, June 10, 1858.
You went away so suddenly,
Without last goodbye;
But we will not forget you. Dad.
Tho the years pass swiftly by.
The road into the sunset is one we
each must tread,
And though it brings us sorrow,
when loved one goes ahead;
Still there is comfort knowing we
will meet again some day.
When grief and pain are over, and
the clouds have passed away.
Sadly missed by your son Herb
ert, and daughter Iva.

tudes be widely publicized"

of the Supreme Court decision on
segregation, the convention asked

cation standards in all parts of the
country and to cover needed SER

DETROIT, Aug. 23.-With two
Negroes already serving on Capt.
toll Hill, it looks like there might
be a third.
State Sen. Charles J. Diggs, Jr.,
recently became the first Negro
to ever win a congressional nomi-
nation in the history of Michigan.
If he should be elected in No.
vember over Gordon Knight, Re-
publican nominee - and only a
switch in the additionally Demo-
cratic district could keep him from
winning-he will join William l..
Dawson of Chicago and Adam
Clayton Powell, Jr., of New York
as one of three Negroes serving in
Congress.
Political experts here say that
if the overwhelming Democratic
vote in the recent primaries is any
indication, Diggs appears a sure
shot to go to Congress.
Diggs swamped George O'Brien,
veteran of more than Is years in
