as small as fifteen Negroes, un-
til these audiences began to grow
into hundreds. He appeared be-
fore Negro organizations repre-
senting all cross-sections of Me-
gro life. Then came the great
triumph under Negro SPONSOR
ship, IN the Oakland municipal
auditorium. 1t was triumph too.
Hundreds of people had to be-
turned away because tickets were
no longer available. Critics of
all the press acclaimed this con-
cert as showing that Mr.. Robe
son as an artist was even greater
since the attacks made upon him
by John Foster Dulles and the
State Department. This giant
Negro now energies as the top
flight concert artist of America
and the world.
Arriving in Chicago fresh from
his California triumphs, Mr.. Ro-
bosom was guest of honor on his
birthday to a packed audience
gathered under the Council OF
Soviet-American Friendship. The
highlight Of this affair was the
appearance of Earl B. Dicker-
son, president of the Supreme Lii
berty Life Insurance company to
welcome him and to speak. Mr..
Dickerson was recently made a
vice-president of one of the large
banks in the Negro community,
the Southside bank.
At this meeting were little and
big persons of all races, colors,
and nationalities gathered to fete
this great man. Hundreds of cop
les of his book, Here Stand"
were sold, and he could hardly
get away when the affair ended
because Of the many seeking au-
tographs for their copies.
Then came his artistic triumph1
at the University OF Chicago.
Paul, as all the people dearly
call him, was in rare form.
Mandel hall at the university,
was packed to capacity both
nights, and so great was the de-
mand for tickets that he was
asked to do a third concert on
Sunday night, which however he
had to refuse to do.

presaions of love and support
Not since Marcus Garvey has a

tiers from the daily and Negro
press, Il have been receiv-
ed into the bosom of my peo-
pie, the Negro people, in spite of
Mr.. Dulles" Then he related his
experiences in California among
Negro churches and Negro COM
munities. This was the beginning
of his way back. The State De-
partment had tried to destroy
his art and his career. Concert
halls and the free" public
school auditoriums were closed
to him. The commercial concert
promoters refused to present him.
In California, he sang in the Ne
gro churches to audiences

ABUNDANT LIFE
HOW TO RECEIVE HEALING FROM GOD

Cod wants to heal you. This is
a precious truth, but you cannot
force yourself to believe it. You
must know it is true before you
can believe. There is no substitute
for the truth--nor for the know
ledge of truth.
You must want Cod to heal you.
You must have burning desire.
Burning desire knows no shame,
no barrier, no refusal. Intense de-
sire burns the bridge behind and
penetrates into the very heart. of
the Son of God.
To receive your healing you
must approach God for healing
through faith. Faith is not some
thing you always have to seek or
pray for. Faith is something God
already has given you, for God
hath dealt to every man the mea-
sure of faith" (Romans 1879. Put
your faith to work. This will in
crease it and make it stronger.
You have been provided the
capacity and ability to use your
faith in any way you choose, for
you are a free moral agent. You
are able to fix your attention upon
God, focusing your faith solely
and directly upon him. Rejoice
and be exceeding glad" for heal
inc is yours through faith.

healed of a mental disorder:
For twelve years l had suf-
fered from nervous tension, fears,

apartments can't be built on
them:

to find that the board may not

mended that a definite apart

Buckers Get
$4,000 Of
Jui AIdi Fee

ANNAPOLIS. Sept. II (AP).
The men who invested $780,
900 for q license to operate q
jai alai arena in Anne Arundel
County are geiing their money
back.
The license was granted by
the county commissioners last
November. but the 1858 Gen.
eral Assembly outlawed jai alai
with parimutuel betting
throughout the State.
Auditoriums, Inc, q firm
headed by F. Joseph Donohue
Of Washington, filed q suit for
return of its fee without preju-
dice to reapply for another per.
NIT If the bar is lifted.
Circuit Judge BENJAMIN
Nicholson ordered the full fee
returned and the county COM
missioners have signed vouch-
ers which will start $4,000 of
the fee back to the promoters.
The remaining $4,000 was
collected by the Circuit Court
as q service charge and was
later forwarded to the State as
surplus from the local court
Office. Court Clerk George T.
Cromwell has asked Controller
]. Willard Tawes what steps
are necessary to recover it.
The request Of the promoters
for return Of the fee was not
opposed by county officials.
Marvin I. Anderson, counsel to
the commissioners, told Judge
Nicholson the board agreed
that loss of the pari-mutuelI
betting advantage would make
the operation impractical.
Mr.. Donohue has indicated
his group may contest the
validity of the jai alai ban. The
promoters are awaiting the out
come Of an appeal from a Cir
cult Court ruling which struck
down a Potomac River slot ma
chine ban enacted by the same
Legislature.
Mr. Donohue's group would
attack the jai alai ban on the
same grounds cited by the slot
machine operators.

demand to know what the al
tentative proposals are.". he
said.
The commission was advised
yesterday that its proposed
Cabin John regional park re-
portedly is being threatened by
numbering operations.
Sawmill Operation
Park Director John P. Hewitt
said he had just received word
that q sawmill was In opera
ton and timber was being taken
out of the proposed park area.
The commission directed its
staff to investigate the report
and take whatever action neces-
sary to preserve the areas in
tegrity.
An actual sawmill operation
would need special exemption to
operate in the area, 1t was
pointed out.
The commission. however,
cannot reserve the land for the
park before an actual move is
made to subdivide it. The COM
mission at present is awaiting
funds from a Montgomery
County bond issue to help buy
part Of the park land.
The commission yesterday
supported in general the recent
report issued on flood control
dams for upper Rock Greek,
The commission however, said
1t did not feel it was its respon-
sibility to finance the cost Of
changing the location Of a
sewer line along the creek bed.
The cost should be borne by
the county and by the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, commission members
said.

areas so they could be de-

ample" of lack Of planning for
apartments because they are
Scattered all over the place"
Mr.. Bean said the project Mr..
Fuchs proposed would bring in
s26.4Oo a year in real estate
taxes.
Protesting residents particu-
larly objected that high apart
ments would change the char
acter of the area and devalue
adjacent property. The build
ing, planned for $50 units.
would have risen about lis feet

Supervisor A. Claiborne Leigh
called the project a "10-story
monstrosity" which was out Of
keeping with the area.
Mr.. Woman said the project
would set a precedent in the
Mclean area and is sufficiently
uncharacteristic of development
in the county to warrant a study
of whether such apartments
should be allowed anywhere in
the county"

quitting the committee on
which he was serving with
Louis A. Gravelle.
Mr.. Gingery said he was re-
signing because he was not only
unable to get the commission
to move to include a corridor
route on its master highway
plan but also to put public
pressure on the rest Of the
commission to come up with a
solution to the major traffic
problem.
New Hearing Demanded
He made it clear he thought
the other commissioners were
stating.
Some, such as Commissioner
Gravelle, were demanding
another public hearing on the
corridor route before 1t is put
on the highway plan.
A nervous hearing debated
the route along with a number
of other proposed means of
bringing the traffic into Wash
lington.
Unless action is taken i'm
mediately to reserve the right
lof-way for the road, Mr.. Gins
gery said, new buildings are to
Igo up in its path.
He cited specifically a pro-
posed department store just in
