THE ONE THAT got away

Il tried for a long time to
get Franklin Roosevelt'S auto
graph" he said. Il went down
to the White House three
times with my postmarks of
the names Franklin 'Delano'
and Roosevelt
But each time I failed. I
sent them through the mail
three times. That failed, too.
II guess he was too busy.
But do you remember his
famous cufflinks parties? On
his birthday, he had a party,
and gave each guest a pair of
cuff links. One year, the cuff
links were in envelopes bear
ing the postmarks President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Il like to think that gave
him the idea"
Mr.. Rullman, who lives at
528 Ingraham street NV,
says the idea is not original
with him.

spelled out in postmarks.

ing autographs that way"
Mr.. Rullman said several
years ago he'd noted one name
In the news and had written
requesting the mans auto
graph.
"He sent the autograph, and
wrote that he'd been doing the
same thing for years." Mr..
Rullman said.

The
Rambler
Hunts Autographs
With q Guide
By JACK JONAS

II like to think" Myron
Pullman, ST., said, that /
gave him the idea"
Mr.. Rullman was talking
about the late President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
and at the same time about
his own hobby.
MIR. Pullman collects auto
graphs, But he doesn't do it
in the normal way-button-
holing celebrities at special
events and badgering them
for their signatures. His pro-
cedure is quiet and we'll or
ganized.
While he's reading his eve
ming newspaper, Mr.. Rullman
keeps handy a copy of the
Postal Guide.
When he spots a name in
the news, he jots it down.
Then he thumbs through his
Postal Guide to try to find,
among the towns listed there,
first and last names to fit
the name he's read.
Suppose, for example, he's
looking for Franklin RooSe-
welt. He finds a Franklin and
a Roosevelt. He sends off
letters to the poStmasters in
those towns, enclosing stamped
envelopes.
He asks the postmaster to
cancel the stamp with the
postmark of his town. Then,
when he receives the post
marks bearing the first and
last names of the person
whose autograph he seeks, he
sends these off to the notable,
asking for his autograph and
a picture.
Notable among Mr.. Rull-
mans autographs are those of
George Bernard Shaw, Harry
Truman, Gen. Mark Clark and
Gen. Douglas Macarthur.

Catholic Indignation Policy
Attracting Negro Members
BY VICTOR cALVERToN

New York-(ANP)-There are
more than 100000 Negro Catholics
in the United States, it was dis
closed here this week by a report
on the growth of the Catholic
Church.
The growth of Negro members
has been accompanied by a SUBJ
stantial increase in the entire
membership of the denomination
which totals 33,574,0l7 in the
United States, Alaska and the Ha-
waiian Islands.
The latest report on Catholic
membership was made by The
Office Catholic Directory for
1856, just issued by p. ]. Kendy
& Sons. It shows that member,
ship in the Catholic Church in.
creased by 998,315 in one year
including total membership of
33,396,647 Catholics in the 48
states, and another 177,370 in
Alaska and Hawaii.
The new total represents a ten
year increase of 9,171,893, or 37.5
per cent over the 24,402,l2
Catholics reported in 1916.
The most significant change in
the Catholic Church has been the
steady growth toward indignation
of the white and Negro members
of the church. Catholic officials
have spoken out against segre-
cation in the Christian church.
The white and Negro Catholic
churches at Newton Grove, N.
C., were ordered to merge by
Bishop Waters in keeping with
the program of the Catholic
church to wipe out all vestiges
of discrimination in the denomi-
nation even in the South.
The Catholic Church has at
tracted Negroes in the South be-
cause of its strong stand against
racial segregation and discrimi-
nation and recent orders from
Bishops calling for the end of
segregation in various walks of
life where race relations are in
volved.
Soon after the u. S. Supreme
Cour desegregation decision of
May II, 1854 Catholic officials
announced that eligible Negro
high school students would be adj
mitted to Catholic high schools
in their localities. This action was
taken in Richmond, Va, and Nor
folk, Va. and other southern
cities.

AME's Take ActiOn On
Berry Health Plan

TIL first appropriation of an un-
disclosed amount from the gen.
eral church funds was made by
the general conference in Miami.
The program emissions expan-
sion of the present 50-bed ca
pacity at Friedrich Douglas hos
pital and other facilities.
Also the commission will now
organize health service guilds as
auxilaries in local churches. These
guilds will sponsor such programs
as Red Cross First Aid and Home
Nursing courses. They will pro-
vide the audiences for health
lectures by health educators from
government and private health
agencies.
The commission will publish
and distribute health education
guides and other literature in
struction on local pastors and
lay organizers in this program.
The new developments in the
AME health program is another
in a series of major accomplish
ments for DR.. Berry, whose ia
Their, the late Rev. l.. L. Berry,
was a former secretary of foreign
missions in the AME church.
DIR. Berry won national fame a
few years ago when he introduced
and spearheaded the Berry
Plan" of medical counseling elm
les for the prevention and follow
up care of young narcotic addicts.
The Illinois legislature appropri-
ated $4,000 to set up this pro-
gram in Chicago.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1956-06-23

CHICAGO-(A N PA e r
more than eight years of plan
ming, the AME church recently
began to act on a correctional
health program sponsored by DIR.
Leonadis H. Berry and the
church's health commission.
Dr. Berry, a noted Chicago
specialist on internal medicine
and digestive diseases, has been
prodding church officials for
years on the Importance and
practical possibilities of a health
program.
Eight years ago, the AME
church's health commission was
established under a bill intro
duced by DR.. Berry. Meager funds
were appropriated in 1913 and in
1852, but high church officials
failed to give the necessary sup
port behind the proposed pro-
gram.
Even more important is the fact
that church officials, spearhead-
ed by Bishop A. j. Allen, promise
more financial support.
Under provisions of the bill
passed in Miami, conferences will
be set up between the health COM
mission and the trustees of the
AME-supported friedrich Doug
las hospital of Kansas City, Kas.,
to "connectionalize" that institu-
ton. This means that future f.
nancial support will come from
the general church budget and
that the perspective will be
broadened to include the entire
church.

Presses Fight on
Renewal Project

In its final meeting of the
season, the West End Citizens
Association last night directed a
committee to continue its efforts
to impress city authorities with
the idea that the George WASH
ington University area should
not become an urban. renewal
project.
The association feels the area
is not now a slum area nor is it
likely to become one in the fore
seeable future.
Mrs. Marie Buoy suggested
that plan be presented to the
authorities showing that the
residents want to develop the
area along the line of Georgetown
and that it is in the interest Of
the city to preserve some of the
historical parts of the area.
In other business, the aSso-
citation objected to the inclusion
in the zoning code of any re-
strictiye regulations with refer
ence to the development Of
alleys.

3 Georgetown Changes
Seen in Zoning Code

Three changes the proposed
new coming code might bring
about in Georgetown were sug-
gested last night by S. Cater,
Washington representative of
Harold NJ Lewis, planning con-
sultant for the District on the
new regulations.
Speaking before the Progress
sive Citizens Association of
Georgetown, Mr.. Cater said
Georgetown has a shortage of
parking space, a shortage of play
space and an industrial water
front zone that no longer serves
the purpose it originally was
built to fill.
All three of these Characters
tics of the community might be
gradually changed by coming
regulations, Mr.. Cater said. He
pointed out, however. that zon-
ing alone does not offer an
answer,
Only Implement Policy
Zoning regulations can be
drawn only to implement a poll
icy, the planner said. The prin-
cipal problems in Washington
are the preservation of the Fed
eral character of the city, con-
troll of traffic density and protec-
ton of neighborhood against de-
cay by limiting the population

ended last night in a decision by
members of the Forest Hills Citi-

is too complex to be dismissed in
a simple resolution commencing

ton of District school children
wherever necessary.
1t was suggested Commissioner
Lane be invited to speak on the
subject at the May meeting of
the organization.
Earlier in the meeting, a talk
by Robert Banks on "deteriorat-
