Baptists Set Up
Body To Work
With Rural
Churches

CHICAGO (ANP) A Rural
Life Commission has been estab-
lished in the National Baptist Con-
ventfon Of the U. S. A., Inc, to
How rural churches and pastors
greater participation in the affairs
# the denominations, DR.. J. H.
Jackson, president of the conven-
ZION and pastor Of Olivet Baptist
Church here, announced this week.
Named chairman of the new
group was the Rev. Fred Black of
Jackson, Miss. In announcing the
formation of the commission, DR..
Jackson stated its purpose as fol-
lows:
"To help all of US to become bet
ter acquainted with the rural prob
lens Of our nation, and to do our
part in helping to find a construct
i've solution to the same.
We must encourage the work
and the workers of the rural
church and help them to under
stand that their contribution to
the denomination and to the Chris
tian enterprise is just as signifi-
cant as those made by the town
and city churches.
"Religious leaders of the rural
areas must be convinced that they
need not leave their work and move
to town in order to be recognized
in our convention.
ave must seek talent wherever
we can find it, and use that talent
both in committees and on the pro-
gram for the advancement of our
great denomination. 1t is our
hope that no session of our con-
vention will be held without giving
a rightful place to some repre-
sentatives of our rural community.
"This commission is expected to
find some project each year of
value, and present the same to
our National Baptist Convention
III AIo &illiUdl SCSSIOl. we must
keep abreast of the rapid changes
and progressive measures that are
being realized both in the field of
agriculture, public and secondary
schools, and in community improve
ment in rural areas of our south
ern states"
Besides Rev. Black, other mem
bers of the newly-formed commits
sion include:
James P. Davis, consultant, de-
partment of agriculture, Little
Rock, Ark; Prof. V. A. Edwards.

|FBI Probes Staying
OF Negro Prisoner

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Jan. II -
(Special) - FBI has joined other
agencies in investigating the cir
cumstances under which an Ala
bama sheriff, Jenkins. A. Hill shot
and killed a Negro prisoner, who
had testified against him in a
liquor conspiracy case.
The dead man is Moses Jones
IS, who was fatally shot on the
Monday after Christmas.
Jenkins claimed he was passing
by Jones in the jail when the
prisoner Jumped" him and tried
to take his gun. Jones was shot
three times. 1t was Sheriff Hill
who later reported having shot
him.
His explanation was questioned
from the first. Hill had taken
Jones to his Jail at Grove Hill
from Bessemer, Ala, on a fugitive
warrant, because Jones had alleg-
eddy failed to pay a liquor fine.
However, in Bessemer, McKin-
ley Holt, friend of Jones' and
another man had offered to pay
Jones' fines which totaled $154.25.
But the money was refused by
ihcrif1's deputies and later by
Hill himself.
Hill denied that such an offer
had been made.
Jones had testified last fall dur
ing a trial at Mobile during which
Hill was being tried for liquor
conspiracy. Jones had said he had
refused to sell liquor for Hill and
another man under a protection
arrangement.
Hill was later released when a
jury was unable to agree.

brave the hazardous 12,000-mile
journey from Peiping to his home

Mr.. Snite is among the FORUM
ate few who have not had to call
upon the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis for financial
help during the long bout with
polio. His high esteem for the

his understanding of how March

Education, and against the insti-
tute itself, the board of educa-
ton and its members individually.
The petitioners aver that all
Negroes similarly situated were
being denied the advantage OF
higher education at Sill because
of their race and color. According
to the petition, this action by
school and state officials consti-
tutes a denial of property without
due process of law.
The plaintiffs had attempted to
enroll at Sill Sept. Is, but were
denied permission to enter by the
registrar even though they had
the necessary high school credits
and could meet health and fee re-
uuirements, the petition revealed.
The petitioners stated that after
the refusal the matter was refer
red to their lawyer, Mr.. Tureaud,
who appealed to the state board
of education and asked it to over
rule the Sill authorities. Up until
the time the suit was filed, the
state board had not rendered a
decision which led the plaintiffs to
believe that the board had upheld
the college, the petition showed.
In asking for a speedy trial, the
petition asked for a trial by a
three-judge district court. This
would require the presence of an
out-of- district judges assigned to
the western district of Louisiana.
