Linda Ann Church, who was
is last Friday, died yesterday in
Georgetown Hospital, where she
had been for seven weeks, after
a courageous six-year battle
against nephritis, an almost in
durable kidney disease.
Linda never let her affiiction
hamper her studies and had
maintained honor averages
throughout 10 years Of school.
She was a sophomore in Wake
field High School. Arlington, Va.
Nor did she allow the illness
to dampen her spirits during her
long struggle against the in

visits to Johns Hopkins Hospital,
Baltimore. Linda found time to
publish single-handed a news
paper. the Pioneer, which her
younger brother James dis
tributed in Arlington. She also
found the time to write many
poems and short stories.
Last summer Linda won
honorable mention in the
Scholastic writing contest spon-
sored by The Star. She also was
awarded a Scholastic letter for
her literary contributions in

her philosophy. The story de-

she saw him and his stuffed
monkey who was "cussin'" and
running fever. She wrote:

his frail back towards me. His
small brown shoes scuffed aim

Muggsy dangled from one hand,

and his fever Marshal's thin
back was straight, and knew
that his clear eyes were fixed
fearlessly ahead, forward to the
future; a small boy, with a life
long disease to battle. unafraid."
Aside from her literary endeav-
ors, Linda had a great love for
the outdoors and animals. espe-
cially horses. She rode whenever
possible and kept a collection Of

of both Negro and white people.
The Lily-White group is headed
by E. 0. Spencer, prominent bust
nessman of Jackson, Miss, and
gets it's name from the fact that
the group has for years sought to
develop an organization in the state
under the exclusive leadership of
white people. The Lily-White
group for many years until recently
was headed by former Governor
George L. Sheldon of Nebraska who
moved to Mississippi and subse-
quently sought to take over the
leadership of the Republican party
in the state.
In rendering the decision in the
contest between the two groups,
the contest committee divided the
Is votes allotted to Mississippi be-
TWEEN the two groups with eight
votes for the Black and Tans and
seven votes for the Lily-Whites.
In addition to the division of the
votes, basing its action on the
charge that both groups were ir-
regular in holding their state con-
vention the committee named Writ

crat since the 1886 landslide vote
for President Franklin D. Roose-
welt. With the opinion prevailing
everywhere that the Republicans
are going to use the Civil Rights
Issue as their main weapon with
which to recapture the Negro vote,
reports here that their drive would
fail was given additional credence
from reports from the Republican
National Convention in San Fran
cisco where the Republicans have
adopted a compromise civil rights
plank in their platform with hard
ly any difference, except in words,
from the Civil Rights Plank adopt
ed by the Democrats in their con-
vention here last week.
One of the first of the nationally
known Negro Democrat leaders to
be heard from following the nomi-
nation of Governor Stevenson was

of the Jackson Advocate, Missis-
sippi's leading Negro weekly, who,

organization of Negro Democrats,

almost single handed brought the
number of qualified Negro voters
in the state from not more than
200 in 1916 to around 10000 in
1852.
Editor Greene also has the dis
tinction of being the only Negro
Democrat from the deep-south to
ever serve as a campaign speaker
for the Democrat Party candidates
for President and Vice-President
of the United States. During the
1852 campaign he spoke in Pen
nsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Ken
lucky for the Stevenson-Sparkman
ticket.
In his telegram to Governor
Stevenson following his nomina-
ton, Editor Greene said: "Your

Gov. Clement added that he

strong recent reports that he might
go over to the Republicans at least
during the campaign following the
refusal of the New York Demo-
Gratis to elect him a delegate to
the National Convention. In the
case of Congressman Diggs of
Michigan who threatened to dissert
the candidates over the civil right
issue in the party plank, he is now
expected to follow the leadership
of Michigan's Governor G. Mennen
Williams who has pledged his
whole-hearted support of the Stew
enson-Kefauver ticket.
Reports reaching here following
the close of the convention also
indicates that the nomination of
Stevenson and Kefauver protends
the failure of the Republican drive
to recapture the Negro vote, es-
pecially of the north, which has
remained overwhelmingly Demo-
