over the little things. Little acts

In his closing remarks the min

dom of God unto a mustard seed
which grown into bigger things

INDIA PROGRESS AGAINST
UNTOUCHABILITY PRAISED

Atlanta CAMP - At the 26th
annual observance of College Night
last week, DR.. L. D. Reddick, who
recently returned from a 25,OOO-
mile journey through India and
the Middle East with DR.. Martin
Luther King, said that more pro-
gress has been made in solving
the problem of caste by India
than of racial segregation by
America.
"Gandhi," he said, adopted an
'untouchable' as a member of his
family and led these despised
people into the temples from which
they had been excluded. But no
top American leader has yet led
Negro children into schools from
which they have been barred. Both
countries-India and US.A. -
have federal laws against segrega-
ton and discrimination; however,
in India no state or official defies
the law whereas in our Deep South
defiance is the order of the day"

BILL DoGGETT SPURS
NAAcP FUND DRIVE

Chicago CAMP - Not content
to rest on his laurels as a $500
lifetime member of the NAACP,
bandleader Bill Doggett hit upon
a novel idea during his recent en-
Lounge that enriched the treasury
of the local branch by more than
gagement here at Roberts Show
$500.
Digging down into his own
pocket he bought more than $50
copies of his latest King album
and peddled them in the lobby Of
the nitespot after each show for
81 each. This sum entitled the
buyer to a years membership in
the Windy City local of the civil
rights organization. All monies
collected by Mr.. Honky Tonk was
donated to the branch.
Although he's been long aware
of the fight waged by the NAACP
for Negroes, it wasn't until two
years ago that he started taking
an active interest in it, Doggett
confesses. Since that time he's en-
couraged friends, both white and
Negroes, to take out memberships
as they needed all the funds that
they could raise.
Last year while playing at Har-
LENS Apollo theatre he took out
his life membership. Sometime in
the fall he plans getting together
with singer Clyde McPhatter, an
other life member, and work out
a series of concerts for the youth
branches of the association, with
all proceeds being donated to
them.
Doggett said that more perform
ers should become intensely in
terested in aiding the NAACP
since they have numerous friends
and fan clubs that could be utilized
in the membership drive.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1959-05-22

He is very punctual. He keeps
his promises. He never belittles
anyone and those around him at
the court house are very fond Of
him and respect him.
A Judge who has his office Just
few feet away from Benefits
chambers last week told us: HE
is a great listener and knows the
law. He is a credit to our pro-
fession."
He dislikes showers; prefers
the Old-fashiOned bathtub.
Bennett is an apt pupil at any
thing that intrigues him. He likes
people most who can contribute
something to his knowledge.
Is very appreciative to the many
who are helping him in his drive
to reelection for Municipal Judge
ship. They are my friends and be-
lieve me-they never ask for any
special favors."
He claims his main hobby
when he isn't working Is sleep.
Bennett likes most everyone he
meets and he trusts everyone he
likes. He claims he'll continue to
trust people because it is his big
principal in life.
In his recent letter to the people
he states: Since being on the bench
I have endeavored to fulfill my
duties to the best of my ability
and have gained invaluable exper-
fence. have found my work as a
Judge stimulating and challenging
and feel that my education and
experience viii enable me to make
contribution to the effective ad-
ministration Of justice.
Permit me to ask you to lend
your support and to cast your vote
for me, if, in your opinion, I merit
such consideration"
Bennett, in our opinion and
those with whom he has worked
with is a credit to his profession
and the Minnesota bench.
