retaliation at a rally last night,
saying that he was disturbed" by
the Governors support of Mr.
Robinson and that it "calls for a
lot of thinking by all of US up
here"
Mr.. Robinson said that officials
of the Liberal party also had of
fered to nominate him and that
both Liberal and Democratic Of
ficials had offered to finance his
campaign, But he said that add
ing Congressional duties to his
ministerial duties would mean a
"major reorientation of my life
which / am not prepared at this
time to make"
He said, however, that he might
be willing to run for Congress in
two years provided that Tammany
by then over-hauled it's leadership
in Harlem
He said that Mr.. Powell was
neither invincible nor unbeatable"
but indicated that he believed that
Negroes had little choice but to
support him.
"He is not the best to represent
US, but who else is there to repre-
sent us?" he asked.
Leadership Attacked
"The Democratic leadership both
of Harlem and this city, seems

who are union members, is $3.50
per hour.
Smith said. 81 don't ask them
whether they belong to the union
or not" when he was asked if his
employees were non-union.
R. H. Byrd, business agent for
Local GA, said he understood
Smith was using non-union operat-
ors to construct the lake project.
Orderly for the most part, pic
kets were reused to action briefly
when a Kinds County bulldozer
tried to cross the picket line to
tear up an asphalt road inside the
lake project area. Several union
members massed in front of the
machine and forced the driver to
halt.
Some union members charged
the bulldozer had been ordered into
the area by Ross Dodds, president
Of the Kinds County Board of Sup
ervisors. Dodds is also president
of the 18th Section Development
Corporation.
Union operating engineers from
Jackson and other cities flocked
to the Northside Lake project site
to join the picket line. Officials at
a construction project at the Me-
ridian Naval Auxiliary Air Station
said work came to halt there Mon
day morning as workers headed
for Jackson to join in the mass
demonstration.
Although most of the pickets
were members of the Mississippi
local of the Operating Engineers,
some drove to the lake project in
automobiles which bore license
tags from Alabama and Georgia.
Several pickets walked the line
bearing cards which read: Ger
aid Smith Company does not pay
established wage scale or main
tain proper working conditions"
Neither the union nor officials of
the Gerald Smith Company would
say how long the walkout is ex-
pected to last or whether negotia-
tions for settlement are under way.

neither to have fully understood
nor accurately gagged the basic
political attitudes, unspoken but
deep resentments and desires of
the people of Harlem" he said in
a prepared statement.
at seems also to have missed
the very essential point that there
is at least as much, if not more
anti-Hulan Jack feeling as pro-
Powell sentiment" Mr.. Jack is the
Manhattan Borough President, Mr..
Powell's chief political antagonist.
Mr.. Robinson declared that the
"booing" of Mr.. Jack at a recent
NAACP rally in Harlem reflected
the anti-Tammany sentiment in
Harlem and did not stem alone
from the issue over Mr.. Powell.
Tammany leaders hal voted to read
Mr.. Powell out of the party for
his support of President Eisenhow-
er in 1856.
Mr.. Jack was booed previously
when Mr.. Powell was out Of the
country, Mr.. Robinson said.
Democratic leadership, he said,
has helped to create picture OF
Mr.. Powell as a martyr" and has
given him an opportunity to win
sympathy on a claim Of persecu-
ton. He said that Mr.. Powell ex-
plotted this.
Lack of Aid Noted
Negroes in Harlem feel that
"they have been denied rights,
privileges and a share of patron
age and that leaders have not
stood up and worked and fought
for them," Mr.. Robinson declared.
Mr.. Robinson said that there
was a possibility" Of violence in
the Negro community because Of
aroused passions and that "Mr.
Powell has it in his power to con-
troll this situation"
No sizeable part Of the commun-
ity wants violence, he said. But
he added that "there are people
always in any situation who can
be swept up by emotion and CON-
NIT acts of violence"
Never Supported Powell
He declared that he had never
supported Mr.. Powell. Mr.. Robin
son had been regarded as a candi-
date able to withstand charge
that he was "tool" Of Mr.. Jack
and Tammany because he ran as
the Liberal party candidate
against Mr.. Jack for Borough
President in 1853.
The Governors effort to get Mr..
Robinson to run was expected to
lead to demand by Mr.. Powell for
Tammany to reconcile it's action in
ousting him for backing Mr.. Eli
senhower with the Governors en-
dorsement of a Democrat who op-
posed a party candidate locally.
Mr.. Brown was elected to the
Council as the nominee Of the DEM
ocratic, Republican and Liberal
parties. A graduate Of Harvard,
he was a reporter on The Herald
Tribune and later managing editor
of The Amsterdam News. He

Selection of the scholarship
recipients is based on high
school scholastic record, apti-
tude and/or achievement test
scores, leadership activities, per-
sonal recommendations, and
personal interviews.
Scholarships are given to two
high school graduates from the
western half of Mississippi, area
served by MP&L. One scholar
ship is to the University of Mis-
sissippi and the other to Missis-
5ippi State University.
Mr.. Wilson said the scholar
ships are given "to encourage
young Mississippians to train
for careers in the electric power
industry and to further the over
all development of Mississippi
by encouraging these young
people to remain in Mississippi
after graduation "
High school officials are mott

to make application prior to the

tions" and had no right to offer
a nomination but sought to learn
if Mr.. Robinson or Mr.. Marshall
were available.
81 was not interested in getting
a capable and outstanding individ-
ual able to represent not only the
Congressional district but also the
people of the state" Mr.. Hartman
said.
States Lead Cited
He declared that New York has
led in championing civil rights.
He noted that obtaining respect
ed" representative was important
because civil rights was an issue
of both national and international
significance. He would shave been
happy" with either Mr.. Robinson
of Mr.. Marshall, who, he said,
would have been splendid call
didate if he were available"
Mr.. Marshall, however, pleaded
commitments in his work "of ma
tion-wide character"
The Governors entry in the de.
veloping Congressional conflict in
volved a possible risk that it might
provoke election day reprisals
against him by Powell supporters.
Some Harlem Democratic leaders
previously had predicted that Tam
many's feud with Mr.. Powell
would not affect the top of the
party's state ticket.
Mr.. Powell himself has warned
that his support might be a de-
cisive factor in Mr.. Harriman's
bid for reelection. He limited at

staff of Life Magazine. He was
born in Charlottesville, Va. His
father was a Baptist minister and
his mother a nurse.
He worked his way through Har-
ward, where he won a letter in
baseball. He majored in econom-
les.
Begins Sunday Rallies
Mr.. Powell began a series of
Sunday evening church rallies last
night in his campaign for the DEM
ocratic nomination.
Addressing 500 persons in the
Second Canaan Baptist Church,
111th Street and Lenox Avenue,
he denied that he was a "racist"
or favored violence.
This was a reversal from q
speech he had made last Saturday
at an NAACP rally in Harlem.
The NAACP accused him of MAX
ing "racist" statements in the
speech and disassociated the or
ganization from them.
The following day Mr.. Powell
warned Mr.. De Sapio, and Bor-
ought President Hulan Jack of
Manhattan that it might be dam
gerous for them to walk on the
streets of Harlem.
Notes His Citations
Mr.. Powell said last night that
his whole career had been based
on preaching Christian brother
hood. He called attention to eta
tons he had received from lead
ing Jewish organizations.
Denying that he had threatened
Mr.. Jack or Mr.. DeSapia, he said,
"My life is based on nonviolence. F"
Mr.. Powell said he was fighting
"bossism" in his effort to win the
Democratic nomination.

Sherrod scored higher than
any other applicant taking the

denounced both Mr.. Powell and
Tammany Hall, which is headed
by Carmine G. De Sapio.
He charged that "unwise" and
"inept" leadership was responsible
for the Democratic political crisis
in Harlem.
Mr.. Robinson said. that he met
with Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. De

home, 16 East Eighty-first street.
Mr.. Hartman, he said, pointed
out the Importance of the issues

But pickets came apparently set
to "stay for a while"
A "chow wagon" was set up in
the rear of a pickup truck, and
pickets filed by to get soft drinks,
hot dogs, sardines and corned beef
sandwiches. One union member
vowed that "we're going to sweat
it out as long as he (Smith) does"
Jackson police sent three squad
cars and seven police officers to
patrol the picket line. Police Chief
w. D. Rayfield said his only con-
Germ was to keep the streets clear
and to prevent any possible dis
turbance.
