"0VerIooked" Negro Teacher
Named Principal OF NGV0iO
Indidn School In Arizona

Washington (ANP) - The Unit
ed States Department Of Interior,
this week, directed the Bureau Of
Indian Affairs to promote Cleve-
land NJ Miller to the principalshir
of a new Indian school in Chinle,
Arizona.
Miller, a Negro, had been prin-
cipal of a Navajo school on that
reservation for the past six years
and has earned the reputation of
being a highly qualified teacher.
But when a new school was built
Miller was bypassed for the prin-
cipars job which was given to
Lawrence Caps, a white man
The NAACP protested to the
Interior Department claiming rae
ial discrimination. An investigation
made by the Department revealed
that Caps appointment was sun
fair to all concerned" d. Otis
Beasley, administrative assistant
secretary of the Department, there
fore, ruled that Miller be placed
in the job.

United States, Is issued annually
in connection with Human Rights
Week. This observance marks Bill
OF Rights Day (Dec. 15), the 169th
anniversary Of the Constitutions
first ten amendments, and Human
Rights Day (Dec. 100, the 18th
anniversary Of the U.N.'s adoption
of the Universal Declaration Of
Human Rights.
Publication Initiated In 1945
The publication was initiated
shortly after the Presidents Com
mittee on Civil Rights issued It's
call In 1947 for action leading to
greater equality Of opportunity for
all Americans. At that time, the
United States Armed Forces drew
color line, Millions Of skilled
workers were barred from jobs
because Of color, creed or national
origin. Racial or religious quotas
were the rule at many colleges
and professional schools; and seq
regation-in schools, housing, res
taurants, theatres, buses, parks,
Fairgrounds, hotels, hospitals =
restricted the lives Of one-tenth
of the United States population.
In the past thirteen years, 'SThe
People Take the Lead" has listed
the following major gains: citi-
zens In uniform are treated and
trained alike, be they white or
colored; the right Of a worker to
be judged on his merits is en-
forced in seventeen states and by
federal contract in all firms doing
work for the government; at most
top ranking universities racial and
religious quotes are on the way
out; non-white interstate travel
lers are no longer forced into sep
arate sections Of trains and buses
as they cross certain state lines;
laws requiring racial segregation
in public accommodations have
been struck down in one state
after another.

Louisville, KY. CAMP - THE

rotary Of the international Mission

A Gheens lecturer at Southern

II wonder how far the white

credited itself in the eyes Of other

years was bishop Of the Church of
South India, an affiliation Of sew
erol Protestant groups.
The time is past for separate,
isolated civilizations and for the
idea Of a cyclical pattern Of world

Memphis COP Leader Prefers
Rockefeller To Nixon

Memphis (ANP) - George Lee,
Republican leader in Memphis and
Tennessee, declared last week he
would work for Nelson Rockefeller
rather than Richard M. Nixon as
the COP presidential nominee in
1864.
Lee blamed Vice President Nix
on's defeat by Senator John F. Ken
nedy in the presidential election
Nov. 8 on Nixon's refusal to ex-
press sympathy or offer aid when
Rev. Martin Luther King, was ar
rested in Atlanta shortly before
the election.
BY contrast, Lee pointed out,
Senator Kennedy called Rev.
Kings wife and had his brother
call an influential Atlanta political
figure to effect Rev. Kings re-
lease. He said he tried to tele-
phone Vice President Nixon at that
time to warn him that he would
lose Negro votes unless he inter-
vened in the King case.
when I couldn't get through to
Nixon" Lee said, II talked to
Robert Finch, one Of his closest
advisers. warned him Vice Presi-
dent Nixon couldn't afford to dis
regard kilograms sent him by Ne
gro Republicans asking him to
take a hand in the King case.
when Finch said he knew moth
ing about any such kilograms, I
gave him the names Of some of
the senderS But nothing was done.
Nixon was afraid of losing white
votes by taking the part Of Rev.
King. It resulted in his losing the
Negro vote and the election"

Luke Anderson the job of working
with Bin Doggett's band
While on a one-night tour a few
months ago, Doggett's band bus
got lost on a Louisiana highway
on the way to Club So in shreves-

form. Walking along the road was
Anderson, who had a reputation In
local cafes as Good Rocking Luke,
a solid blues waller.
Happy to show them the way he
boarded the bus, and not being
very modest boasted of his vocal
ability. This impressed the HonlIy
Tonk maestro who invited him to
sing a few tunes with them. TAX
ing his name and address Doggett
promised to call him when a job
was open with his band.
Two weeks after that Doggett
couldn't erase from his band the
applause that Anderson got from
the crowd with his inipItable
style. Although he was carrying
one singer who sang ballads and
did comedy, he decided to hire
Luke, who'll never forget that
walk along a country road that
landed him in the big time.
