He was given years suspended
sentence on the technical traffic
violation. His arrest this time and
before was clearly part of the
harrassment program which has
been Kings lot since he success
fully led Montgomery, Alabama
Negroes in a massive passive re-
sistance program, which ended
jimcro in public transportation in
that city.
Judge Oscar Mitchell of De Kalb

YOU ARE NOT
SEEING THINGS!

Readers of this issue may be
startled and surprised to see that
pages 2, 3, 6 and have the name
Minneapolis Spokesman" on them.
The Spokesman is the sister
paper of the RECORDER printed
in the same plant on the same
days. Sometimes this produces
some rather startling results.
Sloppy proof reading, editing and
careless composing room work pro-
duced the Minneapolis Spokesman
designation on the pages mentioned
this week. This is simply a warning
to RECORDER readers to let them
know they are not seeing things
and the paper they are reading is
really the RECORDER-even Il
the pages are marked with its
sister papers name.

agreed to set up.
Roy wilkins of the NAACP who
flew to Atlanta when apprized of
Kings second arrest, called Judge
Mitchelrs peremptory action per
secution rather than prosecution. "
Judge Mitchell has refused an
appeal bond to King. He claimed
that such a bond could not be made
in revocation of a probation viola
ton.
Kings attorneys said such a
bond was discretionary with the
court.
Meanwhile people from coast to
coast aware of the constant at
tempt to harm Kings leadership
and usefulness, have protested to
Gov. Ernest Vandiver of Georgia
urging his release of the noted
passive resistance leader.
Moscow Pravda Tuesday re-
ported the King arrest for at
tempting to eat in a restaurant
catering to the public. The Rus
sian paper said King was jailed
for political reasons also "he be-
lieves in democracy, the American
imperialists are trying to export
to the world" The paper said
Kings arrest was a part of con-
tinued persecution Of the Negro
people in the us.

the Great Pretender," in the field
of civil rights. Nixon's record
while a Congressman before he
set his sights on national office
was poor on all of the civil rights
based legislation offered in the
Congress.
John Kennedy is going to be
elected because the majority of
Americans feel that he is a de-
cent man who is being persecut-
ed unduly because of his religious
affiliations, Powell claimed.
Powell said he was convinced
that Lyndon Johnson had and
would continue to surprise the ma
ton on his new adherence to the
cause of human rights.
He claimed Johnson had spoken
out on the rights issue during his
southern campaign tour and that
he had won applause from thou
sands of southerners, in spite of
his views.
Powell said he was surprised to
find the religious issue a problem
in a liberal state like Minnesota.
Powell conceded that religion is
factor in the present and said:
But it is no more important to-
day than in the case of jefferson
and Lincoln, who belonged to no
church" he said. 1T is no more
important than in the case of
Dwight Eisenhower, who was a
member of no church till he was
elected 1t is no more important
than in the case of Sam Rayburn
longtime house speaker), who was
baptized only three years ago"
While in Minneapolis Powell
spoke to a group of Protestant
ministers at a breakfast
He left Minneapolis shortly after
his address because of an engage
ment in San Francisco Wednesday
noon.
Congressman Roy Wier, veteran
DFL Congressman from the Third
District spoke. He indicated he
was in a tough campaign this
year because of Republican money
being spent" However while Wiel
has been carrying on his usua
campaign observers note he is nj
moro excited by his campaign
against Republican hopeful Clari
MacGregor than he has been abou

Wier has a 100 per cent recorC
on civil rights in Congress accord

The petition heard last Friday

poses of the club Lofts stated,
was to raise money to purchase a
suitable club house.
Dissatisfied with the lack of pro,
gress towards this end the club
membership at a special meeting
called Feb. l. this year voted to

This action was taken the pet-
ton said: after "A 81 hour re-
port was read lat the meeting)

asmuch as since the incorporation
of this corporation, no money had
been set aside for said purpose
nor have any books pertaining
thereto ever been presented fol
auditing in spite of numerous re

LazenberrY Named
New North Central
Council President

In a spirited election contest
Leroy Lazenberry, 1856 North
Chatsworth was elected president
over Thurman McFarthing, by the
newly organized North Central
Community Council, Sunday, Oct.
%, at Halle Q. Brown House.
Lazenberrys name was submit
ted by the nominating committee
and McFarthing was nominated
from the floor About 100 people
participated in the organizations
election which was presided over
by Alice Sims Onque, executive
director of Halle @. Brown Com
munity House, who had been serv-
ing as temporary chairman.
Other nominees submitted by the
nominating committee were elect
ed without opposition. They are:
Robert Harris, vice-president; John
Patton, treasurer and Odelle Call
oway secretary.
Another heated discussion arose
over the suggested makeup of the
steering committee. James o.
Mann, $50 Iglehart Av., argued
that the slate for the steering
committee was not representative
of the area.
Mann had authored a pamphlet
which was circulated in the area
asking that citizens attend the
meeting to be heard on the pro-
gram and officers to be elected.
In an effort to bypass the nom
mating committee group a motion
was made to have the steering COM
mittee renamed advisory commit
tee, and a new steering committee
set up.
This motion lost, and the steer
ing committee submitted by the
nominating committee plus addi-
tonal names, selected at the meet
ing, were approved.
The committee consists of the
following members: Timothy How
ard, Rev. Floyd Massey, Jr., Rev
Denzil Carly, Ernest Cooper, Rob
ert Harris, Mayme Green, John
Patton, Odelle Galloway, Alice
Onque, Rev. B. H. Hunter, Rev

Erwin, Rev. Jerome Del Pine, AID

Rev Kenneth Fox, Stephen Max
well, Dorothy Schultz, Charlie:

Archer, Rev. Carl Sumwall.
A constitution committee chair
manned by Stephen Maxwell, as
sistant county attorney, was named
Other members are Ruth Benner
Thurman McFarthing, Lawrence
Tarver and Sidney Williams.
A standing vote Of appreciation
was given Mrs. Onque for her serv
ice in chairing the organization
during it's temporary period A
similar tribute was paid to Mrs
Galloway for her work in arousint

Says US. Must Win

Africa.
Says us. Must Win
Admitting that such a crash pro-
gram would play havoc" with the
rules and regulations of the State
Department, DR.. Hopkins said it
was necessary because America is
engaged in a battle as important
as any fought in our last war, and
we must win it"
1t must be noted, however, that
certain amount of preparation
is needed for service in the diplo-
matte field. While most Negro lead
ers and liberal-minded whites
would be inclined to agree with DR..
Hopkins that more Negroes should
be sent to Africa as diplomats, the
fact that applicants should meet
diplomatic qualifications cannot be
readily overlooked.
For 81 years, members Of the
Negro race have honorably and
creditably served in the American
foreign service as diplomatic and
consular officers. Ebenezer D. Bas-
sett appointed Minister to Haiti in
1869, was first to create recogni-
ton for the Negro in the diplomatic
branch. In 1871, J. Milton Turner
was appointed Minister to Liberia.
Only Two Negroes
At present there are only two
Negroes serving in top-level dip
llomatic posts. They are John How
ard Morrow, US. Ambassador to
Guinea, and Clifton R Wharton,
Sr., US. representative to Rum
ania. There are others however
who serve in lesser capacities.
Until 1859, Richard l. Jones Of
Chicago served as ambassador to
Liberia. Edward r. Dudley and
Lester A Walton, among others,
also served as ambassador to Lib
eria prior to Jones appointment.
E. C. Mathews, white, is the pres
ent ambassador to Liberia
Associated Negro Press records
reveal that the foreign service re-
cord of Negroes has been credit
able. Future aspirants would do
well to keep this aspect of history
in mind should they pursue the
diplomatic field.

Must Show More Responsibility

Negroes contend almost unanimously
that Negro responsibility will rise as Ne
gro opportunities and freedoms rise. The
nations history supports this contention.
But events Of the last few years suggest
that in order to win complete equality, the
Negro is going to have to show more re-
sponsibility than his opportunities and free
doms normally would warrant Negro lead
ership is beginning to realize that it is not
enough to blame every Negro misdeed on
segregation, or to pretend that Indignation
will be cure-all for every social problem
in sight.-CarI T. Rowan in the Saturday
Evening Post.
