Birmingham, Ala (ANP) -
The Birmingham News published
a story last week under the by
line Of Martin Waldron that a
group of Negroes are organizing a
group to promote segregation.
The story named Samuel H.
Moore as president Of the group
who served a term for the same
on for grand larceny and false
pretenses, and Walter II. johnson,
who sedved a term for the same
offense, is said to be the chairman
of the board.
According to the story written
by Waldron, a flat denial was
made that the whole proposal is a
confidence game. I. w. Chambers,
secretary-treasurer of the group,
is credited with this statement.
Waldron quoted Chambers as
saying: IF had a copy Of the
bylaws and the charter, could
tell you what the aims are"

SLAVES UP NORTH

While Minnesota had an organ

fore the Civil War. there were
very few slaves in the area. In
fact, there was a great prejudice

which encouraged the state to
make the first offer OF a regiment
to the national government when
war finally came.
Major Tahaferro had at Fort
Smelling several slaves which he
had inherited. He would hire these

 That is, Eff the money is avail able," said Cmdr. Robert c. Truax of the Office of Naval Research.
 For about one billion dollars, he said, the United States can have a permanent space station" 500 miles up to serve as launch ing platform for space flights. He made it plain he referred to an earth satellite big enough to be inhabited by a small group of men.
 Struggling aside the engineer ing difficulties, Truax said, "the only real problem is where in the devil are we going to get the money"
 The commander, addressing the Baltimore chapter of the Ameri- can Rocket Society, proposed a government allocation of 100 mil lion dollars year for 10 years. That would amount to about $2 per taxpayers, he said.
