L
Louis were preparing to part trails,
because of the Brown Bomber's
sweet tooth" toward sultry singer
Sarah Vaughn.
The rumors began taking hold
two weeks ago when a Broadway
columnist repeatedly saw Joe and
Sarah Tapping eyelashes at each
other at the Copacabana opening
of the Billy Eckstine show.
The columnist reported that Joe
had told him that his marriage
with Rose was going haywire. Joe
later denied making the state
ments, but other writer's repeated
the remarks.
Meanwhile, Sarah Vaughn in Bos-
ton, was asked if she is considering
marriage with Louis. She said
"Joe is still married to Rose Nor
gan and I'm still married to
George Treadwell. I have no other
comment"
In an interview, Mrs. Louis said
II don't see Joe very often these
days. He's busy and have my
business, too. But when this item
hit the streets, Joe called me at
the office after it appeared. He
confessed that he had been to
the party with Sarah, but said he
had not made the statement about
our marriage breaking up"

the recommendations of the COM

out to the letter, will produce new
hostilities, conflicts, resentments
and separations of peoples" Mrs.
May Andres Healy, chairman of
the Joint Committee of Teachers
Organizations, declared. "The re-
suit may we'll be an obvious race
consciousness that does not exist"
The hearing attracted more than
200 persons to the boards quarters
at 10 Livingston Street, Brooklyn.
Many in the audience shook their
heads in vigorous dissent. Mrs.
Healy continued:
eff our school system is not to
become a shambles Of stopgap

poor morale and don't give-a-care
ineptness, we respectfully urge the
Board of Education to reject the

favored the reports. However, the
guild tempered its position by OPP
posing several sections of the
teacher assignment proposals.
The stand of the majority Of
the teachers was assaulted. Mrs.

ing commission report, chidded the
teachers for a lack of courage.

be filled throughout the country
during the year and COPE will
be interested in every one of them.
Mergers on the state and local
level during the year are expected
to contribute heavily to the eff
cheney Of labor's political action as
did merger on the national level
in 1856.
Mergers Will Aid COPE
COPE officials point out that Of
the % states west of the Missis-
sippi which went strongly liberal
last year, Is were states in which
AFL-CIO state bodies had merged
and were able to put their united
efforts into the field. They believe
that this will be the pattern for
the future.
Two areas will receive particular
attention on the state level. One is
to counter efforts of business and
industry to spread 'right-to-work"
laws and the other to check any
efforts to cripple labor's political
action through such measures as
the Catlin Bill which passed the
Wisconsin legislature in 1855.

Minister Forum
Projects Program
For The Jackson
Progressive
Voters League

Upon an invitation from Mr.
James A. White, president Of the
Jackson branch of the Progressive
Voters League, a panel of minis
tiers planned a fighting program
for the year 1857. 1t will be a
program of non-violence with the
Bible and the ballot as the only
weapons. Rev. L. C. Wilcher, who
led the devotion, paraphrased an
old hymn with these words: with
the Lord God of Hosts as our cap
tain, we shall not be moved; with
the Bible and ballot as our instru-
ments, we shall not be moved; with
love and understanding we shall not
be moved; destroying the walls of
prejudice. we shall not be moved
as loyal American citizens, we shall
not be moved, etc. He taught it
to the group until they let it ring
with roar Of the rolling sea. 1t
set the tempo of the meeting which
was going strong at 1915 when
President White announced it was
an hour passed adjournment.
Rev. P. J. Hopkins was moder-
ator of the forum which he intro
duced with a talk on "Victory with
non-violence" The eight ministers
making up the forum pleaded for
the ballot. AS they understood the
Bible better than any other book
constant reference was made to it.
Christ was born in Bethlehem be-
cause his earthly parents had to
come there to pay taxes. Christ
had his disciples to get his tax
money out of the mouth of a fish.
God is no respector of persons. AS
many as believe shall become the
sons of God"
