votieon Newspaper
Reps Verdict Of
Florida Rope TrioI

Naucan city, Rome lamp -
The Newspaper Osservatore Ro-
nance, known throughout the
world as the Vatican spokesman,
has decried the racial distinction"
which it claimed swayed the out
come of the Florida trial of the
four white youths convicted for
raping a young Negro girl, the
Associated Negro Press learned.
The newspaper made it clear
that its interest in the case was
based solely on equality before the
law. I'VE are not for the death
penalty, we are for equality" o.
servatore said.
The statement, signed by Count
Giuseppe Dali Tore, the news
paper director, noted particularly
that no clemency was ever asked
for Negroes convicted of the same
crime. It also mentioned the fact
that the jury was all white.
In the trial, which took place in
the Leon County Circuit Court re-
Gently, Ollie Stoutamire, 16, David
Bagles, IS, Patrick Scarborough,
20, and Wilton Collinsworth, "a,
were found guilty of abducting and
raping (three of them twice. the
19-year-old Florida A & NJ uni
versity coed at gunpoint. The
judge at the time deferred sentenc-
ing for 80 days.
Under Florida laws, the four
would have received the death pen
atty if the jury had not recon-
mended clemency.
Contrary to the number of Ne
groes whom the state have cleo
trocuted, no white man has ever
been sent to death for raping a
Negro.
In another part of the statement,
Osservatore criticized the use of
arguments of racial distinction by
defense lawyers in the case. One
defense attorney, Howard Will
hams, inquired: Shall we kill or
incarcerate the long-legged, pale
faced, skinny little boy (Stout-
maire) because he happened to be
in the wrong place at the wrong
time ?"
Nun May Be Beatiffed
In other Vatican news, it was
reported that an ex-slave may be-
come the first colored nun to be
beatified. Qualification is the next
step to sainthood in the Roman
Catholic church.
According to the report, a Va
tican congregation is considering
the works Of Giuseppina Bakhita
(lS65-194O, a native Nigerian,
who was sold into slavery at the
age Of 10. She was later brought
to Italy by a diplomat and given
her freedom. She was converted to
Catholicism at the age of %.

GOSPEL TEMPLE

The Gospel Temple in st. Paul
had glorious time in the Lord on
Sunday, July 5. The amounting of
the Lord came at the beginning of
the day with prayer at $50 fol-
lowed by Sunday School.
The morning worship service
started shortly after Sunday School
and was conducted by missionary
Leola Brown. Prayer was by Mrs.
Sallie Gray and Mr.. Robert Ora
ham and the morning scripture
was taken from Rev. 3:20-22. We
heard a most inspiring message de-
livered by our own Evangelist Bat
tie. She spoke from the subject,
THE Reward of the Faithful" She
on the different crowns
that would be given in heaven.
The message was a heart stirrer
and a soul searcher. The speaker
spoke with the amounting power
of God and in our hearts we thank
God for these our leaders, who
are a wonderful example for us.
Our Youth service was conduct
ed by Brother Nathaniel Battle
with a discussion on the 23rd
Psalm.
The evening service was short.
but oh how the glory of God was
manifested. Everyone present got
a blessing from God. Our beloved
pastor, Rev. w. L. Battle, was
with us. He prayed for every soul
in the building. One soul was saved
and she accepted Christ as her

Nj ONE OF US can afford to allow the
~ CFU world to stand still while all of us
await the outcome of the Society's fast
approaching 10th Convention
There is great deal of work and plan
ming to be done now - like looking
ahead to the cooler fall months and the
resumption of the Croatian Fraternal Uni
on's Training Schools for Lodge and Nest
Officials in America and Canada.
To give those interested word picture
of the scope of such an educational project
we are publishing on this page a review
under the by-line of George A. Glavas,
Sacramento Lodge 434 leader and Delegate
elect, of the CFU Training School held Feb
21-22 last in San Francisco under the aus
pices of the Society's Central Committee
Of Northern California Lodges.
Any CFU center can arrange to hold
one of these Training Schools by contact
ing the Home Office of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union and asking the Executive
Board to set up the necessary props.
Every such undertaking to date has
been an unconditional success.
Why not elsewhere?

heaval in four short years of

cials, etc., etc., let me say
that all this and more was
written and said to me on my
various proposals for a one,
two or three year Convention.
Let me call the readers at
tention to the fact that the
law requires all fraternal
beneficial societies to hold
conventions. Annual conven-
tions are recommended and a
four-year convention is a
must by the law. A book
could be written on this alone.
Most American fraternal
and service organizations
have annual conventions. The
convention is the life-blood of
fraternal and service organi-
zations.
The convention is an in
spiration and one of the

egates-elect embroiled, let us say that while
bro. Vinski's idea isn't at all bad one,
the whole thing is wrapped around so much
money that we can't foresee any universal
agreement on his proposal.
4 X
Before the Society gets around to
holding Conventions every 2 years, some
thing should be done about the "high cost
of living" associated with the ouadrennial
conclaves now in vogue.
For example, the 9Th Convention held
in 1851 at Los Angeles cost $175,O56, the
9th in 1855 at Philadelphia $167, ,521 Both
were eight days in duration.
The 10th Convention at Detroit promi-
ses to be the shortest on record for the
simple reason that the hotel which will
house the sessions has entered into an a.
greement with the Croatian Fraternal Union
for a six-day usuage of it's facilities, Mon
day, Sept. 21, through Saturday, Sept. 26.
We have no way of knowing just how
much money can be saved by going through
the motions at Detroit for just six days.
But we would guess that the final cost of
the 10th Convention won't be too far from
the 1855 Philadelphia outlay of S167 ,521
Now, then, could the CFU stand such
expenses every 2 instead of years?
