AUBREY WILLIAMS SAYS
SOUTH'S CHIEFS
COURTING
CIVIL WAR

Moneagle, Tenn. - (ANP) -
Aubrey Williams, former NYA
director, told the 25th anniver-
sary meeting of the interra-
cial Highlander Folk school here
last week that activities of small
group of southern states could
plunge the nation into another
armed rebellion in which the
south stands to lose everything it
has gained"
The four-day celebration of the
folk school also had as CUES
speaker the Rev. Martin Luther
King, who led the boycott of seq
regation buses in Montgomery,
Ala. last year; Father David H.
Brooks, Negro Episcopal minister
and leader in the Tallahassee, Fla.
bus boycott; Conrad Browne, white
associate director of the interrac-
cial Koinonia farm at Americas,
Ca; Charles Condition, dean, Tus-
kegee institute, and Mrs. Rosa
Parks, who triggered the Mont
gomery incident.
Said Williams, MEN in the
South are acting and talking in
the manner OF persons who have
forgotten what happened to their
states in a similar stand against
the morale of mankind.
Southern leaders are COUNSEL
ing complete defiance Of the fed
eral court decisions aimed at ex-
tending equal protection under the
law to the Negro people"
He named Sen. Harry Byrd of
Virginia and Gov. James Byrnes
of South Carolina among those
who have suggested defiance OF
all federal laws, whenever the
laws conflict with their southern
way Of ife."
1.-The right to criticize any law,
passed or proposed or any de-
cisions Of any court, IS the right
of every citizen" Williams con-
tinued. ut Is one thing to criti-
CHE and work for the repeal OF a
law or to change the basis OF the
law in order to secure different
decision by the court, but 1t Is
quite another to disobey, defy,
plough around a law or a decision
of the courts"

body could serve more than four

he was elected for a fifth term,
and wild pandemonium broke out
among the delegates called Mes

when the news was broadcast both
inside and outside convention
headquarters in City Armory.
CALL POLICE TO QUELL
DISORDER
Police were called to quell the
disturbance, highlighted by fis-
ticuffs and the swinging of chairs
and four arrests were made, one of
them being the Rev. Charles c.

shouting demonstrators were
rushed outside the armory, where
police ordered them to observe

ATTACKS AME
BISHOP

FRAND RAPIDS. Mich. - GAN
The peace and calm which had at
tended a constructive and sue
,essful session of the Michigan
Conference of the Anne Church
was shattered here Tuesday night
when Bishop Joseph Gomez, the
presiding prelate of the Fifth
episcopal District, was attacked
by the Rev. S. M. Davis of the

shurch.
Angered by transfer from his
resent pastorate, Davis followed
,ishop Gomez into the church
Judy after the conference had
cen dismissed and swung several
leavy blows, striking him in the
hest and face.
Rev. Davis who is said to be
normally beligerent was at odds
with his congregation. A commit

on Bishop Gomez during the con-
ference and insisted that Davis

LOUISVILLE, KY. - One of
the widest demonstrations in Bap-
fist history was witnessed here on
Wednesday, Sept. 4, at the after
noon session of the National Bap-
fist Convention Inc, when Pres
ident J. H. Jackson and his sup
porters by a shrewd, unexpected
maneuver, had the conventions
rules suspended, tenure of office
overruled, resulting in Jaclson's
reelection by unanimous vote.
On Tuesday, when the board of
directors met, it was reported that
80 percent of the members IA
vored the Tenure amenoment to
the NBC Constitution, adopted in
Chicago in 1852, and which pro-
vided that no president of that

and credentials.
The Messenger also said that on
Wednesday morning the Minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and the program for Wednesday
announced. This announcement
stated that the Presidents annual
address would be delivered on
Thursday to be followed by cleo
ton of officers.
JACKSON OPPONENTS ENJOY
'"coFFEE BREAK"
Having heard the program an
nounced for Thursdays session,
most OF the Messengers opposing
DR.. jackson took time out for
luncheon or a coffee break" at
their hotel or in nearby restau-
rants.
Result was, that at the after
noon session Wednesday, when the
anti-Jacison Messengers We're
relaxing and being refreshed,
Jackson and his supporters called
the meeting to order in what the
anti's called tricky, un-Chris-
tian move, put through a motion

the "pokey."
Many of the veteran newanen
covering the convention likened
DIR. Jackson's coup to the steam
roller tactics at Elks Conventions
a generation or so ago. when the
grand exalted ruler ]. Finley Will
son, with the aid of picked sup
porters, would stampede the con-
vention during election Of Off
GERS and thus perpetuate himself
in Office, always by unanimous"
vote"

not be returned to the Grand
Rapids Church.
SUM OF $4,000 INVOLVED
Needing the request Of the
Grand Rapids Community con-
gregation, Bishop Gomez had or
dered the transfer of Rev. Davis
to a church in Detroit. The con-
ference commission had also de-
cided to pay the approximate
$4,000 covering the expenses Of
conference to the church instead
Of to the pastor so that the. bills
contracted for could be paid. Da-
Wis is said to have been angered
because that check was not made
payable to him.
AS the conference closed for the
year Bishop Gomez went into the
study to change his robe and vest
ments and prepare to leave the
city. It was then that Davis, after
a string Of oaths and threats, fin
ally struck the bishop. The latter
fought back but was considerably
unnerved after the encounter.
The bishop has the power to
suspend Rev. Davis which he did
at once and lay opinion here Is
that the minister will be expelled
from the conference and have ais
license revoked.

TAKES "sADoE"
AUTHORITY FROM JEMlsoN

One of the Messengers inter-
viewed, gave a short summary Of
the stirring incidents that led up
to DR.. Jackson's reelection. He
stated that the president had some
800 badges and credentials made
in Chicago and distributed among
his cohorts before leaving for
Louisville. BY so doing, Jackson
rode rough-shod over J. T. Jemi-
son, convention secretary, who,
supposedly was the only one hav-
in, authority to handle the badges

Later, said the Messenger inter-
viewed, more than 500 of the anti
jackson contingent met in fiery
session at Chestnut Street Baptist
Church, raised a considerable
amount of money, and paid re-
tainer fee to Atty. James M.
