our Baptist culture unadulterated
and pure" continued DR.. Townsend.
In his new position Mr.. Bradley
will serve the National Baptist
Convention constituency, promot-
ing the preservation and use of the
best in our church music, and his
folk songs. He will be responsible
for promoting the use of the Bap-
fist Standard Hymal, Gospel
Pearls, Spiritual Triumphants and
other music publications offered
through the Board.
Mr.. Bradley brings to this as
signment rich musical experience.
During the last few years his art
has found favorable criticism from
many of the hest known music per-
sonalities in Europe, America and
the Scandinavian countries.
The highlight of Mr.. Bradley's
career came in 1866 following his
London debut. After successfully
facing the most critical audience
of Europe in London's famous Fes-
tival Hall, he was put on national
British Broadcasting hookup and
sang for all England. Critics ac-
claimed Bradley, "The greatest
voice in this country in the past
decade"
He soon came to the attention
Of British royalty. The late crown
ed Princess Maria louisa, grand
daughter of Queen Victoria, Her
Royal Highness, and the Duchess
of Kent commanded a royal per-
Torrance. Mr.. Bradley is one Of
the few religious singers to have
been so honored.
The day following the London
debut he sang the opening solo at
the Baptist World Alliance. He

the statement.
However, Henry L. Moon, direc-
tor of Publica Relations for the
organization, told the Press that
Wilkins was not usurping any au-
thority in making the statement
and added that he had actually
consulted with NAACP President
Arthur Springarn and board chair
man Claiming Tobias in the ma
tional office and talked with sew
eral other board members by tele-
phone before issuing the state
ment.
Speculation in some quarters held
that Wilkins had been pressured
into the position by organized Ia
Dor, a strong incluence on the
NAACP board represented by Unit
ed Auto Workers chief Walter Reu-
Their. It is believed that labor
hopes to gain jury trial provisions
in legislation affecting union &C.
tivity and that it saw a chance to
do so in the Senate bill which con-
tains jury trial amendment.
However, Wilkins told the Press
that he had to steer a course thru
situation full Of political traos
in order to get some bill of bene-
fit to Negroes.
"There was politics all over the
place. There were some who want
ed weak bill, some who wanted a
strong one and some, obviously,
who wanted no BILL" the NAACP
secretary said.
1.-THE statement was timed to
serve notice that we wanted a bill
this session. If the plan of those
who stand pat on the strong bill
had been followed, the measure
would have gone to the Senate
House conference where it would
have been deadlocked in conference.
"We're not interested in helping
the Republicans or Democrats. We
are lobby for Negroes" Wilkins
said.

Iraham's closing address.

1ranamS closing ADDRESS.
Mr.. Bradley was born in Mem
his, Tenn, in 1920, and sang in
'hurch and at Manassas Hig h
School. It was q Mississippi River
flood that first brought him to
he attention of a wide public.
During the flood of 1885 hundreds
II people were sheltered in the
lily Auditorium. Robert had vol
Inferred to aid the Red Cross au-
horities in any way he could, and
fter hours Of bandaging and feed
.lg he started to sing the simple
omforting melodies of the Church.
Although Bradley sang for Che
National Baptist Convention in
933, standing on a chair, it was
n 1887 when he was II, that he
vas brought to the National S. s.
md B. T. U. Congress in Raleigh,
N. c., that he claimed national at
:ention. Since that time he has
served the Convention and Con-
gress with his songs, and has ap-
;eared in numbers Of churches and
on many concert stages.
Bradley's first teacher was the
late Charles F. Bryan, professor of
music at Peabody College. "He
was my friend and teacher" said
Mr.. Bradley, land he taught me
until 1 was ready for the training
of Edith Walker" Edith Walker
had trained Blanch Theboums, Ma
rian Anderson, Jan Pierce and Y.
I. X. SEE. He studied with her five
years.
Following her training he stud
led with 'bass" tutor for a year,
and has since known instruction
from the following well known
American and English masters:
Lawrence Brown, Roger Quilter,
Roy Henderson, Frank Titterton
and Amanda Ira Aldridge. While
enrolled at Royal College of Music
in London, he also gained the in

all the way from surprising" to
"doublecross." ahA
Replying to the mounting wave
of criticism beaped upon him be-
cause Of the statement, Wilkins
told the Press by telephones We'd
nesday that he expected disagree
ment from many quarters on the
issue.
"I'm not surprised nor do ]
quarrel with people who feel that
our judgement IN this case is
faulty. | am not upset because
I expected disagreement. But we
had to steer a course between q
situation fraught with political
consequences to obtain the best
result for the people the organi-
cation serves"
Much of the criticism Of Wilkins
stand stems more from the nature
of the time Of the statement than
the actual content or res sons for
the statement.
It is generally felt among those
most critical of Wilkins position
that his actions took on too much
the flavor of partisan politics. It
is held that his urging acceptance
of the measure while the Republi-
cans were still apparently fighting
for stronger bill would result in
a net gain for the Democrats and
take some of the political play
away from the Republicans.
wilkins announcement was fear
ed to have precipitated a policy
crisis within the organization. Sew
eral observers, pointing to the fact
that the statements to the press
were signed by Wilkins and that
his position was not in accord with
opinions expressed by influential
persons, inside and outside of the
organization, limited that the state
ment might cause a split within
the organization.
Jackie Robinson, chairman of a
special fund raising committee of
the NAACP, has been a most vocal
opponent of the policy of accepting
the Senate version of the bill. He
has been widely quoted as assert
ing that no bill would be better
than the Senate bill.
Also, it was pointed out that
many influential persons through
out the country have since the is
suance of the statement messaged
Congressional leaders urging them
to stand pat on their refusal to
accept the modified civil rights
bill.
In addition, in the absence of
regular board meeting during the
time Wilkins statement was issued,
it was believed that many members
of the board would have opposed

rection of the late Frank Titterton,
toast of the English music world.
Mr.. Bradley was guest soloist
for the World Baptist Youth Coun-
Gil in 1853. From that South Amer
lean Conference came invitations
by Scandinavian youth to sing in
their countries. He made 26 con-
certs in the principal cites of Nor

in Denmark and a 81 concert tour
of the principal cities of Sweden.

paper appeared on the stands on

In the meantime, a news-hungry

was that all major newstands car
