are lost In the abyss of sin and
unconcern. He noted the fact that
many parents have suffered untold
mental anguish because of defiant
children, but asked them to take
heart in the fact that miracles
are wrought by prayer, and even
those who seem beyond recall can
be returned to their sense Of Sper-
itual values.

a question for the Supreme Court
to settle.
The court has agreed to review
a Georgia Federal Judges decision
that the right-to-vote 1857 Civil
Rights act is unconstitutional. II
will also determine whether the
government can sue a state to
enforce voting rights.
Eleven Negro teachers in Mober-
ly, Mo, have asked the court to
rule on the constitutionality of
firing teachers in integrated set
ups solely on the basis Of race.
These teachers who were let out
when the schools were desegregat-
ed claimed that Negro teachers in
several border state areas have
been casualties Of the transition.
| The Supreme Court was also
faced with II appeals from death
sentences, at least five of whom
were Negroes.
Each of the five cases carrying
racial distinction involved rape
while the remaining seven persons
were convicted of murder.
Those carrying racial identity
involved Ralph Williams, Isaac
Bullock, Luther Bailey, Emile Wes-
ton, Jr., and Willard H. Philips
Those convicted for murder or rob-
bery-slayings were Edward Leon
Williams, Ralph DawEins, Marion
James Linden, David Cooper Mel
son, Robert Lee Lyons. Jr.. Edgar
Smith and George Robert Brown.
Claims ''WOman Consented"
Williams was convicted at Clear
water. Fla. in July, 1858 for the
rape of a white woman. He did not
deny having sexual relations with
the woman but claimed that she
consented. He appealed to the Su-
preme Court on the claim that the

mate against Negroes solely on
the basis Of race"
Death Sentence In Gas Chamber
Bullock is awaiting death in the
gas chamber In Maryland for two
different rape charges. The first
involved a girl medical student at
John Hopkins hospital, who was
raped in the vestibule Of her home
in Baltimore in July 1867 by a
Negro. And the second was the
rape Of a Negro housewife and
mother Of five children, In the YES
tibule Of her home In the same
general neighborhood.
He contends that evidence Of
fered by the State IN his trial was
not sufficient to prove actual act of

there must be no place In the
Methodist Church for racial dis
elimination or enforced segrega-
ton" The statement drawn up
and adopted by the human rela-
tions conference for consideration
as q part Of general denomina-
tional policy points out what it
terms specific areas Of concern" :"
Concerning schools, the state
ment says that in harmony with
the Christian imperative, the high
est court in the land has spoken
concerning policies in public edu-
cation. Methodists, as law-abiding
citizens, are faced with the chal-
Ienge and task Of creatively meet
ing these imminent responsibilit-
les"
Job Rights Outlined
In the field Of employment, the
conference report says that ''the
right to a fair and equal oppor-
tunity for all to earn an adequate
livelihood is basic in a Christian
democracy. Training in sliIls,
employment, and advancement
must be based on individual merit
without discrimination as to race,
nationality, sex, or creed
without such fair practice Of
employment, the nation and its
productivity suffer the loss of vast
resources Of talent In keeping with
its historic concern for social Jus
tice, the CMethodist) church re-
joices with labor and management
in the progress made in all sections
Of the nation and pledges itself to
a growing acceptance Of its re-
sponsibility in this area Of human
relations"
Concerning housing, the confer
ence said that "as a church we
should now begin a program Of
education and action to bring about
open occupancy. Restrictive hous-
ing on the basis of race violates
Christian principles. The freedom
to choose a home and a neighbor-
hood should not be limited because
of a persons race. The right to
rent or purchase, however, is not
enough. Community acceptance
which creates a sense Of belonging
is in the spirit Of Christ"
Leadership Accented
On the touchy issue of demo-
minational integration, the state
ment said:
The church must continuous
ly scrutinize its own life in the
light of the gospel. Rather than
reflect imperfect customs, the
church should stand continuously
ahead of our communities. Under
the leadership Of active commits
sions on Christian social relations,
local churches need to take more
seriously the education Of their
own members in ways which link
serious study and vital worship. :. d.

Year-Round Bass
Season Proposed

Maryland Game and Inland Fish
Commission is advocating a year
round bass season and will intro
duce a bill in the General Assembly
to that effect within the next few
days, it was announced by Malcolm
L. King, public relations director
Ernest A. Vaughn, director, said
that biological studies combined
with harvest studies and stocking
programs point TO the desirability
Of year round season for several
reasons. He listed them as follows:
Biological studies show ii takes
the spawn of very few bass to
provide sufficient natural continual
ton of the population.
Survival and production depend
to greater extent upon environ
mental factors of water tempera-
ture, turbidity and competition
from other species than upon num-
Der spawning bass present.
Natural mortality removes Is to
z of each age group, occurring
whether fishermen creel the fish
or do not.
Tagging of hundreds of bass in
larger state waters show that fish
ermen generally recover less than
IS for every 100 tagged
Creel census at selected areas
shows that harvest could be in
creased by ycar-round season.
In smaller state waters which
are stocked, any fish when dies
before being caught costs angler
Just as much rs live ores he creels.
A year round season would pro-
vide angler with maximum OPP
pCrtunity to reclaim money spent
on stocking.
Vaughn said recent lcngthcning
of trout season to II months has
resulted in erecting more trout and
greater return for funds spent.
He said thirty states now provide
for year round bass fishing.
