"But Pm going to bring it up
on the floor when the House takes
up civil rights legislation, probably
in May after the Easter recess"
Andrews told a reporter.
"Some 80 or 40 Southerners will
speak for my bill and try to ex-
plain it's value to the House"
Andrews bill would provide for
relocation loans to any Negro liv-
ing in any state in which racial
segregation is practiced, to enable
him and his family to move to any
state in which there is no racial
segregation. 1t would set up COM
mission to review applications and
make loans up to $1,000.
"My bill is designated to help
Negroes" Andrews said.
"Some Supporters of civil rights
legislation say Negroes are perse-
cuted in the South. We deny this
but, still, if those who profess to
want to help the Negroes really do
want to, they can't find a better
way than by voting for my BILL"
The Albanian said he doubts
his proposal will be adopted, 'be-
cause those who say they want to
help the Negro are not sincere but
are practicing political pyhrocisy."

King who is to stand highest in
the race history of these unhappy
times will be not Martin Luther
but Clennon.
Clennon King is the college in

the NAACP, has been threatened,
Ostracized and subjected to the MA
ACP's own special brand of rabble-
rousing. He exercised his Ameri-

In championing this Negro, print

circulating a booklet by and about
him, Editor Webb and The State

leadership Southern Negroes Bit

Response to Clennon Kings chal-

one can call "Uncle Tom"
Clennon King, Georgia-born, 81
years old, is better educated than
Martin Luther King. He has a
B. s. degree from Tuskegee, an
NJ. A. from Western Reserve in
Cleveland, has attended Oberlin
Graduate School of Divinity, has
studied Egyptology at the Univer-
sity CT Chicago, has taught in six
Southern Negro colleges-and is
founder of an International Society
of African Culture for bringing to
Negroes greater knowledge of an
pride in their race. (At his request,
money from the State Times for
his now famous series of articles
has been turned over to this So
ciety.)
He is no Uncle Tom and, what is
more important (for "Uncle Tom"
is just an NAACP epithet), neither

some essentials of the Federal

probably American Samoa,
Just as did the Philippine Is

not at all times nor in all re-
