Before the prisoner left, he
thanked Temple and patted him
on the back for "springing" him.
Temples lavish spending at
tracted the attention of news
paper and radio people weeks ago
when he began to frequent the
bars all over Minneapolis.
At one tavern he ordered the
proprietor to lock the doors and
he entertained a house fun OF pa
irons for several hours buying
food and drink for everybody in
the place. At another place he
changed a couple OF 500 bills into
fives and tens and threw them up
into the air TO see the patrons
scramble for them,
One Hennepin Az. bar, worried
over his safety after he had spent
several hundred dollars in the
place. requested a squad car to
take him home for fear he would
be waylaid and robbed.
Minneapolis detectives who
heard of his fabulous spending
have been checking his source Of
income for several weeks.
Several Minneapolis business
firms whose owners admitted to
police that Temple had bilked
them out of money have refused to
sign complaints against him. Few
business men like to have the pub
lie know a confidence man got
them for money.

Cratic pointed out that the Ne

He said that this was becaus,

Cordinol Scores
Those Who Practice
Race Prejudice

Chicago-(ANP)- Samuel Car
dinal Stritch, Roman Catholic
archbishop of Chicago, told more
than 1000 students attending a
recent one-day race relations
workshop here that Catholics who
practice racial prejudice tear a
part the mystical body of Christ"
This is done, said His Eminence
in many neighborhoods populated
by Catholics.
He told the audience which in
cluded student delegates from IS
UNCONVENTIONAL high schools, that
IF we are all one in Christ, then
our attitudes toward others not of
our own color, lineage or blood,
will be Christ like"
Another Catholic spokesman
Rev. Father Dennis Geaney, OSA
Of st. Thomas High school, Rock
ford, Ill, called demonstrations at
Chicago's publicly-owned Trum-
bull Park homes housing project
an affront of Christianity"
| MANY racial fracases here have
occurred in Catholic areas
In another statement, Cardinal
Stritch told students that in the
call to the Kingdom Of Christ,
There can be no distinction as TO
color or race"
The cardinal went on TO outline
for students a pattern Of fInda-
mental principles TO govern their
study Of race relations. He urged
delegates TO love their brothers in
Christ, mot pity them"
Commencing students for their
part in the conference, he said:

white Illinois realtors 10 get pubic
housing turned over to private in
terests.
Whether you have public OF
private housing, you're still going
TO get evasions OF laws which pro-
hibit segregation. What we've got
TO do is sell the public on the idea
Of living with people of the same
moral standards no matter what
their race is" he said
Harris statements were in re-
spouse to an announcement by
Ronald J, Chinook, president, Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
boards. Chinook, a Chicago real
tor, said at his organizations
convention, that Illinois real estate
men will propose state legislation
permitting sale Of public housing
units TO private interests,
The law now leads that local
authorities may" negotiate for
sale Of public housing II liquida-
ton Is approved by ordinance or
referendum. The realtors would
have the word may" changed TO
shall"
Chinook charged that public
housing has failed TO fulfil its
aims Of providing homes for low
income groups and clearing Sums.
He also assailed "do-gooders" for
creating racial tension in the
Trumbull Park Homes project on
Chicago's far South side by what
he called "pIunking" Negro fam
lies in a white neighborhood.
II was this last statement that
drew Harris fire, who said Chin
mock was evidently trying 10 turn
back the clock 10 restrictive cove
nants, which have been struck
down by the U. s. Supreme court
Harris, however, emphasized
that Negroes should not fail into
the trap Of criticizing private own
ership Of projects because Of the
fear that II win be difficult tc
legally stamp out bias in the rent
ing Of home in such projects.
He pointed out that under pub
lie housing in Chicago. there are
stin three sIl-white projects in the
city.
Our problem nuns much deeper
than Just a controversy as &c
whether the state or private In
diyiduals shall run large-scale, Low
cost housing programs" he said
The answer Is 10 educate whits
people and wipe out their fears OF
living in migrated housing
The proper legislation can turn
over public housing TO private in
diHduals and still forbid discrim'
inatory practices In renting th'
l dwellings. The real answer IL ths
enforcement Of the right kind Of
legislation, plus an educational
program 10 change the attitudes

Virginia Negroes
Swinq To COP,

Richmond, Va (ANP)- An
alysis of voting in Virginia after
all precincts had reported on the
general election, last week re-
veals that Negro voters in some
localities departed from custom OF
former years and cast a number
Of ballots for Republican candi-
dates.
Large areas of Richmond and
Henrici counties displayed lean
ing toward the Republican party
and Negro voters are credited
with having some incluence in this
trend since president Eisenhower
was elected in November, 1852.
Old-line Negro Democratic lead
ers to a large extent throughout
the state used their influence TO
get Negroes to give sufficient sup
port to the Democratic party to
have some credit for the election
Of Democratic candidates they
felt would be elected anyhow,
Some were quiet and allowed vot-
ers TO make their own choice.
Spurred by President Essen
hower's popularity and inspired by
his record on the race issues. old
line Negro Republican leaders in
all parts Of the state campaigned
enthusiastically for COP candi-
dates. As a result. when the pre-
cincts had made a full reporting Of
voting. IL was disclosed that a con-
siderable shift had been made in
Negro voting, particularly in the
third congressional district, con-
sisting Of Richmond city, Hen
rice and Chesterfield counties and
Colonial Heights.
J. Calvitt Clark Jr., Republican
candidate who ran against Con
gresham J. Vaughan Gray, Dem
ocratic incumbent, made a fine
showing. The Republicans got AIS
percent Of the votes in the district
Both young and Negro voters ap.
peared 10 have cast more votes
than usual for Clark.
In 1913 Gray carried Richmond'i
colored precincts by large major
tiles. He had no opposition In 1850
and in 1852. ne again carried the
colored precincts. but by smaller
margin than four years before. Ir
this years voting, however, these
same precincts were carried over
whelmingiy by COP candidate
Clark.
An advertisement printed a few
days before election urged Ne
groes TO vote for Clark because Of
the gains made by the race under
Eisenhower's administration. Thu
Richmond Civic council. a power
full Negro organization. sent on
last minute letter 10 Negro yot
ers In Richmond urging them q
support Clark As a result the Ne
gro vote was strong for him.
