Its my humble opinion,
states Mr.. Black, chat the
surface has not yet been
scratched insofar as secur-
ing highest quality adver-
Using for the Negro press
is concerned. I am happy to
be playing a part in the
opening up of new accounts
for this field. Contrary to
the opinion of many who
think that a victory such as
the recent Supreme Court
action on the abolition of
segregation of Negroes in
education means the an
preaching end of the Negro
press, it is my considered
opinion that this is def
nitely not So"
Good publications and
good publishing does not
depend on waging war on
racial issues. Just. as neigh
borhood newspapers and To-
cal newspapers are con-
stantly in demand, so will
newspapers representing So
called minority groups of
people be in demand as long
as they are alive, well edited
and carry features that will
retain the attention and in
terest of their readers. We
feel very optimistic about
the future of tn e Negro
press, because of the ever
increasing interest of more
and more major manufac-
turers in this quality con-
cious market"

some four or five miles

Convention Looms

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 3d.
For the first time in the Fl years
Of his presidency, the Rev. Green
L. Prince, president of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention of Amer

Fla.

of the American Baptist Conven-
ton of Texas, a statewide organ
ization reputedly possessing 5000
members.
The Baptist Ministers Union of
San Antonio, comprising 40
churches in that city was the first
organization to toss DR.. Wilkin-
sons hat in the ring. In a special
meeting last Monday held at the
First Baptist Church, DR.. C. Will
liam Black, pastor, the Baptist
Minister'S Union of which the Rev.
E. J. Wilson is president, went on
record as feeling need for a change
in leadership.
Rev. Wilson in a statement ex-
pressing the sentiment of the
group said:
"In considering the needs of the
National Baptist Convention, our
Union is joining with others in
feeling that the convention needs
wider representation in national,
international and world move
ments as we'll as a more effective
buildup in many of the states
throughout the nation.
Knowing the local, national
and even international demands
which are being made upon DR..

ence to Cyprus, for example.
At the United Nations last week,
Britain opposed a Greek demand
that the agenda Of the coming
General Assembly provide for dis
cussion of a plebiscite to determine
whether Cyprus returns to Greek
control.
Crisis Not Mentioned
The Labor party statement also
avoided commenting on the crisis
in British Guinea and British Hon
duras last winter. Left-wing re-
gimes in both Western Hemisphere
colonies threatened moves toward
democratic government, and
forced corrective steps from Lon
don. The document did not men
ton Uganda, the deposition of one
of whose native kings by the Co.
lonial Office last year produced a
Labor censure motion in Parlia-
ment.
The document is expected to be
attacked as weak by the party's
militant Left-Wing.
Acknowledging the poverty and
backwardness in Britain's colonies,
the document says these conditions
are "a challenge" to Britain be-
cause she "has drawn great wealth
from these territories"
