Lacey to hold a special board
meeting.
Leonard Geiger, at that time
recording secretary of the Joint
Council and now its vice presi-
dent, led a drive which resulted
in the board voting to overturn
the Joint Councils action.
This Mr.. Lacey said was be-
yond the authority Of the
executive board.
Geiger "On the Lam"

mittee Counsel Robert F. Ken
nedy that Geiger has disap-
peared from his office and
home and that the committee

senator Mcclellan asked.
That is right" the COM
niittee counsel responded.
The excuse that the paper
locals were needed because OF
the Forthcoming AFL-CIO mer-
ger in later correspondence, Mr.
Lacey pointed out.
A telegram dated January q
the day after the executive
board meeting - was sent by
Geiger to Beck citing the ''ut-
most urgency" of getting the
locals seated because election

Lacey Again Writes
This was generally conceded
to be the purpose by the end
OF January. Mr.. Lacey again
wrote Beck protesting the seat
Ing Of the phony locals.
Purely for the purposes Of
the coming election, AZ dele
gates are to be seated despite
their meager composition and
weak position under usual pro-
cedures." Mr.. Lacey wrote.
And after the election takes
place. these locals will be con-
solidated, then the number of
delegates (42) will dwindle to
seven or nothing |, BY that time
the locals will have served their
purpose in rigging the election
"A motion to seat delegates
(under these circumstances
-. is not only unconstitutional
but illegal. 1t violates elemen-
tary standards of fair and
honest conduct and trade union
procedure. This has been made
plain in certain petitions,
charges and complaints to be

Recordings Give Evidence
The committee turned to the
union officials after receiving
evidence through tapped tele-
phone recordings linking Hoffa
with New York labor racketeers
and underworld figures.

Preaching Christ And Him Crucified

We notice that the meeting of the National Fra
ternal Council of Churches which is being held here
in Jackson next week has its theme Freedom
Through Christianity and according to what have
read in the advance releases concerning the meet
ing the above theme is the premises upon which the sub
ject of the Negro and civil rights Indignation and
CATION will occupy the major of those attending
the meeting, all of whom, in their capacity members
of the organization or preachers of the Gospel
Back in our boyhood days, when more east
y touched by the vvidness of such phrases, still
member hearing the old folks say, along with the
preachers that the main job of the preachers is to
PREACH CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED.
While it is the popular thing of the moment, and
well worth the time and thought of the best minds of
the there beginning to arise the suspicion among
thinking laymen in all denominations that the Negro
Preacher has found the line of least resistance in TAX
ing the leadership in the political struggle of the
Negro for Civil Rights and first class citizenship.
1t became more and more apparent to the intelli
gent observer each day, that the Negro be-
coming and more the victims of Illustration and
bewilderment hatred and illwi result of the
slant stream of criticism petitions and resolutions that
get results, Initiated the part of those who
themselves the spokesman for him in his struggle
for first-class citizenship.
In reading the the Mount the advise
and admonition of Christ to the Jews whose position
in the Roman Empire of that time almost exactly
that of the Negro in the United States to day and
ing Him in His closest approach to political discussion
tell his Questioners to ve unto Caesar that which is
Caesars it is hard to the most famous of His Di
scples of today walking in His footsteps while preach
ing the doctrine of resistance and nonvioen political
action.
There is line which separates the responsibilities
of the preacher from the responsibilities of the poll
tician.
While We along with everyone else will agree that
Negroes the members of the National Fraterna Coun
Gil of Churches rightly concerned about their civil
rights and their right to First Class Citizenship
also of the opinion that in view of the present psyco
logical attitude and condition of the Negro masses, that
the greatest good that be accomplished by the Ma
tiona Fraterna Council of Churches in it's meeting here
next week, is the issuance of clarion call to Negro
ancient and honorable calling of PREACHING CHRIST
AND HIM CRUCIFIED.

Moroccans Ill-Prepared
To Govern Selves
Recently returned from Morocco
Mrs. Roosevelt said she found the
Moroccan people ill-prepared for
self-government, primarily because
of illiteracy.
Even though the Moroccans are
free, France still owns and con-
trolls their banks, businesses, etc.,
she said.
She also noted that the country
is badly in need of doctors. Two
Moroccan doctors who should be
looking after the people, had to
take government posts because OF
their educations she said. Because
the French are too afraid of re-
prisals to stay in the villages, there
are no doctors in the villages at
all, she added.
Famine Due In Morocco
Although Vice President Nixon
failed to note it, Mrs. Roosevelt
said >there will be famine in Mo-

killed two million people, she re-
called. The United States, with its
large SURPRISES of wheat, can see

ought to start to help now, not
wait until many people have died,
as we did when India suffered
famine a few years ago, the late

Chairman Eastland (D-Miss.) re-

Under the bill, the attorney gen.
