BY EDWIN DIAMOND

EVANSTON, Ill. - An American
church leader Saturday attacked
racial segregation in the United
States and South Africa. DR.. Ben
jamin E. Mays of Atlanta, presi-
dent of Morehouse College and a
delegate from the National Bap-
tist Convention, urged non-segre-
gated churches and told the world
council of churches assembly in
Evanston:
'We should move interracially in
the church, not from the fear of
Communism but from our brother
ly concern"
DR.. Mays chided "local churches
fro permitting secular bodies" such
as major league baseball, profess
sional boxing, colleges and univer-
sites and the State and Federal
Courts to take the lead in "initat-
ing social change in the area of
race"
The churchman declared certain
churches-both Negro and white
follow the example--~of sports,
schools and the courts SLOWLY or
not at ALL" He added:
1t would be a sad commentary
on our life and time if future his
torians would write that the last
bulwark of segregation based on
race and color in the United States

Urged To Stop Discrimination

and South Africa was Gods
church"
DR.. Mays remarks came during
the plenary session of the WCC
devoted to report on the Church
and Intergroup Relations. He was
followed by DR.. Ben Marias of the
Dutch Reformed Church of South
Africa, segregated church.
DR.. Marais declared Christians
must never lose the ideal of a
church in which all men who be-
lieve in Christ will be at home"
He cautioned:
But while we struggle towards
attainment of that ideal, different
churches based on languages and
race may be useful or even prefer
able in some cases, always with the
understanding, however, that no.
body who wishes to join a Christian
church may be excluded on other
grounds thant hat of faith"
The 600 voting delegates to the
giant church assembly will now de-
bate racial and religious policy and
later take a stand on the Inter-
group Relations report.
Their findings will not be bind
ing on the 161 Protestant and East
ern Orthodox denominations from
4S nations which make up the

was made Friday by Attorneys for

of venue already has been denied.
Mrs. McCollum was found guilty
of numbering DR.. Adams-a state
Senator-elect-in his office on Aug

But the High Tribunal threw out
the conviction on the grounds that
trial Judge Hal w. Adams = no

Shriners For
Cancer Research

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. - The
Shriners closed down their 53rd
annual convention here last week
one of their busiest and most pro-
ductive meets.
The Shrine tuberculosis and
Cancer Research Foundation re-

Schenley Distributors. Inc, to aid
the progress of research education.
DR.. Raymond E. Jackson, Buffa-
10, NY, was unanimous reelected
Imperial Potentate of the Ancient
Egyptian Arabic Order Mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine.
The reelection of DR.. Jackson,
who has headed the organization
since 1889, was hailed by many
delegates as a victory for the pro-
greSsive forces within the organi-
Zation.
1t was considered a vote of con-
fidence in the program of health,
education and charity which has
been promulgated by the Imperial
Council.
Earlier, Gov. Robert B. Meyner
OF New Jersey told the convention
that Communists made mistake
in trying to lure Negroes into a
trap baited with disloyalty.
For a long time, the Commu-
nlsts of Russia got the idea that
the American Negro was the weak
est link in American democracy =.
But the Communist have stubbed
their toes" Meyner said.

New York Bar Group
Urges Press Curbs
In Criminal Cases
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-A COM
mittee of the New York State
Bar Association recommends the
amending of the State civil
rights law to make it unlawful
in any criminal case for any one
officially connected with the case
to make public certain informa-
ton.
The ban would apply to de-
tense and prosecution attorneys
and others officially involved in
the case.
Amending of the law was rec
commended yesterday by the as
sociation's Committee on Civil
Rights. The group held that in
some cases fair trial is leopard
lied by the tremendous growth
of mass media of communica-
tionS.
In report the committee said
there was a growing conflict be-
tween two constitutional rights
the guarantees of a fair trial and
OF freedom of the press.
To Submit Draft.
A draft of the proposed amend
ment will be submitted at the
State associations annual meet
ing. which is being held here to-
day through Saturday.
The draft would:
Ban anything that might pre-
vent a fair trial. improperly in
fluence the court or jury, or in
any manner tend to interfere
with the administration of JUS
tice.
Prohibit any disclosure of the
acts or conduct of the accused
other than in the official formal
charge. any statements or ad-
missions allegedly made by him.
and alleged prior convictions.
1t would apply to any case
pending in the criminal courts
Of New York State or to any per-
son charged with crime and in
custody Of public authorities
whether before or after indict-
ment.
The only exception would be
when disclosure was authorized
by the court.
Newspaper Accepts.
In releasing it's announcement
of the proposal to the press, the
association invited editorial COM
ment, and the New York News
accepted with alacrity.
The News said the committee
sponsoring the move "lacks the
CUTS to advocate direct muz-
cling of the press" but attempts
to achieve that effect by sub
jecting the news sources to GRIM
inal prosecution.
"All in all, this plan to gag
the press by remote control is
tyrannical and un-American on
the face Of it, and should be
turned down fiat by both the
Bar Association and Legislature"
the News said.
1--WE urge our readers and
our colleagues in the newspaper
business to fight the proposal
as the sinister attack it is on the
peoples right to get the news
and he press right to print the
news. Any such attack calls for
a swift and relentless counter
attack by everybody who has
the slightest concern for Ameri-
can rights and liberties.
The most recent instance of
public controversy over press
freedom in New York came last
year during the vice trial of
Minot F. Mickey Jelke, oleo
heir, when press and public were
banned during presentation of
prosecution evidence.
General Sessions Judge Fran
els L. Valente ordered the ban
on the ground that lurid testi-
mony might endanger public
morals.
