Beard To Decide
In Bride Case

TAMPA tR-The case of Cmdr.
Paul j. Altman, charged with So
dcitfng brides, is to go to a Coast
Guard court-martial board today
for verdict.
The defense closed its case yes
terday with arguments that the
two complaining witnesses were
acting from a desire for revenge.
Elmer Quick of Dunedin, a Sec
ond mate in the Merchant Marine,
testified that Altman offered for
$3.50 to see that he passed tests
for a chief mates license.
Guy Risley, a Tampa Bay pilot,
charged that for the same amount
Altman said he could fix pro-
posed hearing on the grounding of
a vessel piloted by Risley.
Defense attorneys said that these
charges were not brought until long
after the alleged bride solicitation.
They said Risley did not report
the matter until after Altman had
preferred charges against the pilot
because of the collision of two
vessels.
The attorneys also told the court
that Quick did not make his charge
until he had failed an examination
conducted by Altman.
In closing testimony Mrs. Mary
LaFaye, clerk in the Tampa
Coast Guard office where Altman
is assigned, said Altman was in the
office at time Quick testified they
were meeting about the alleged
bride offer.

The Vicksburg Committee
An Example

From in Vicksburg the states historic civil
war city on the banks of the Mississippi River
reports of the organization of committee of responsible
and influential Negro and White citizens organized for
the purpose of working out the problems arising out of
the recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court
and looking toward constantly improving relationship
between the Negro and White people of the city
From up in Washington the other Monday where
the lawyers filed the final briefs with the United States
Supreme Court for the December 9th arguments when
and how its May 18th decision declaring segregation in
the public schools unconstitutional should be put into
effect in all the points raised by both sides, the most
significant to the request by the states that the
lower courts be given broad discretion to direct the in
tegratiOn to meet local conditions.
Upon the evident fact that starts at the
local levels venture the prediction that the nations
highest court in it's opinion following the December 9th
arguments will not overlook the fact that government
starts at the local levels and the fact that the purpose
and intent of the May 18th decision, which
essentially the establishment of full equality under the
law for all American citizens, be accomplished by
cooperative action of citizens and the creation of
tually satisfactory conditions at the local levels.
Before final conclusion say again here
what has often been said before Nothing much being
accomplished with a crowd of White folks meeting
somewhere talking about Negroes and crowd of Negroes
meeting somewhere talking about White folks
and better day for Mississippi awaits the time when
sponslbe White and Negro citizens starts meeting at the
local levels honest attempts to work out their prob
lens.
Everywhere Citizens Of goodwill will applaude the
5Vlcksburg Committee, which point out x
ample that should be followed in every community in
the state

students and the university staff
to consider the matter.
In explaining his position on the
issue, barley pointed out that be-
fore the motion was announced at
an October l meeting, he had held
joint meeting on this discrimina-
tory problem with representatives
of the student government and the
executive committee of the faculty.
At the meeting, the committee
on student organizations and So
cial life was asked to study the en-
tire matter and then report back
its findings and recommendations.
Since the reports were not COM
pleted until just before the recent

that policy into effect"

The foreign students are: Shing-
Hwa Tsai, of China; Horace Young,
Venezuela; George Nemethy, Hun
gary; Uttamprakash Christian,
India; Clifford Jones, British West
Indies, and Chul Young Cha, from
Korea.
Attending the Chester County
university on scholarships grant
ed by the Leasing J. Ronewald
Fund, the students backgrounds
and experiences express the un-
rest in the world today.
Nemethy, whose father was a
Judge of the Administrative High
Court of Hungary, is a former
student of the Calvinist-P Protestant
High Schohol Of Budapest, which
became famous for it's religious
and anti-communistic spirit.
He was a member of the Hun
garian Boy Scout Association I'M
til its dissolution in 1948 by Com
munists, and succeeded in avoid
ing affiliation with the "pioneer"
Communist Youth Organization.
Nemephy and his family escaped
from Hungary in 1851 after re-
ceiving deportation orders from
Communist State Authorities. Pur-
sued by the police for three weeks,
they wandered in small villages
in the woods of Western Hungary,
then finally succeeded in crossing
the iron curtain that separates
Austria and Hungary. In July,
1854, Nemephy and his family
came to America.

Lincoln's second century of SER

Rosenwald, End, a trustee of the
University, who said:
"The new program Lincoln Uni
versity has undertaken is great
step forward toward the goal of
a peaceful world. Each student
on campus will bring with them
a culture, background and philos-
ophy that may be shared with his
fellows. How better could men
settle their differences than by
each knowing the problems of one
another before differences arise?'

The P. B. &F. Credit Union

The People Burial and Funeral Home has just about
completed the organization of the P. B. & F. Credit
Union chartered and incorporated under the laws of the
state of Mississippi to be composed of the members of it's
staff, its agents, and the members of their families.
One of the chief purposes of Credit Union is to
provide credit, and the small loans that most working
folk find themselves in dire need of from time to time
during their lifetime
Outside of organization such as a Credit Union
ordinary workers find themselves almost the point of
desperation the search for endorsers when the need
for loan arises and often find it impossible to obtain
traditional bank loan with the aid of endorsers. Such
conditions force the ordinary worker to make loan
anywhere without regard to the interest rate fact
which is sapping away much of the economic vitality of
the Negro community.
We salute the P. B. & F. Credit Union as a real
worthwhile addition to this community.
