First Lady Of
Song" Ella Here

Ask any of the top female vocalists
the question of who's had the most
influence on their style or who's the
greatest in their field. One and all,
they will invariably reply: Ella"
The lady, who first blazed into the
spotlight several decades ago with her
unique, husky-throated rendition of
"A Tisket, A Tasket, lost My Yellow
Basket reigns supremely on the en-
tertainment armament.
She's the idol of a wide segment of
music lovers, ranging from bobby
soxer to their grandparents. Swing or
ballad, Ella takes her vocalS in stride,
a pleasant fact that has carried her
on successful tours of Europe, South
America and even Russia. Quite
girl, this Ella!

Teen Talk
BY SHARON BROOKS

Nice weather and food, these were
two very good things about the First
Institutional Baptist Church's picnic.
The picnic took place Saturday,
June II, in Prescott, Arizona. There
we're three buses and several cars sup
piled to take the children and adults to
the picnic grounds.
The activities that the picnickerS en-
gagged themselves in were; baseball,
horseback riding, hiking, and some
just took it easy and watched every
thing. But by the looks of things,
everyone enjoyed themselves.
The picniskers left at 500 am. and
returned at 600 pm.
Miss Patricia Grant, of Carl Hay
den School, was among the fortunate
ones to attend Girls State this year,
which was held in Tucson, Arizona
While Miss Grant was attending

President Eisenhower Offers Wise
Approach To The Solution OF
The Race Problem

Up in Washington the other day President Eisen-
hover in discussing the Negro stdown demonstrations
called for nterracal conferences in all southern cities
for the obvious purpose of finding the means of ach-
ievement of a formula that vii; bring about better
relations at the local level and thus bring about
better race relations for the entire nation.
In all the discussions of the grave crisis arising
out of Negro demonstrations, think the statement
by the President of the United States calling for in
terracial conference in all local communities which
should lead ultimately to the organizations of
and ful-statued interracia committees both at the
state and local levels represents by far the wisest ap
proach to the solution of the nations race problem
President Eisenhower's statement echos state
ment made to back in 1947, or thereabouts by
wise and distinguished southerner, Mr.. Justice Hugo
Black of the United States Supreme Court who said to
us during discussion of the souths race problem at
his invitation in the august chambers of the United
States Supreme Court that solution to the souths race
problem can be found when southern white people and
southern Negroes of intelligence start to getting together
and stdoWn and talk about the problem instead of talk
ing about each other adding that such getting
gether was started the way he found to make the
south the greatest place in the world for the people of
the TWO races to live IN peace progress and goodwill
For we have always been of the opinion that no
KIND OF progress in relations in the south can be
made by crowd of white people, and another crowd of
Negroes, no matter what organization they represent
off somewhere in separate places talking about and
plotting and planning against each other
With the nations largest Negro population, which
has thus far refraned from joining the demonstration
we think those having the power and authority would

Ethiopia by personal invitation of
His Imperial Highness, Halle Sc
lassie. The Emperor let school out
Tuesday to permit the students to
attend the meeting. Hundreds of
young people joined many adults in
staying after the meeting to reg
lister decisions for Christ.
People came to Adds Ababa
from all over the country for the
meetings. Many cheerfully slept on
floors of churches and schools. The
night before leaving Nairobi, Mr..
Graham preached in the ANGLICAN
cathedral. The service was broad
cast over the radio in Kenya.
Twenty-six professed faith in
Christ at the close of the meeting,
bringing the total devisions in the
Kenya campaign to nearly five
thousand. With only one meeting
left in the African campaign, at
tendance has passed the half-mil-
lion mark and decisions have total
ed nearly thirty-five thousand. Mr..
Graham's one night seige of ill
ness may cause him to forego the
possibility of a one-week tour of
the Holy Land. He was going pri-
marily to see Biblical sites. After
leaving Ethiopia he planned to
spend a few days in Cairo, seeing
monuments of Egyptian civiliza-
tion, meeting missionaries and ad-
dressing one evangelistic service.
The African tour has exceeded all
of his expectations, he told news
papermen recently. Associate
Evangelist, Mr.. Blinco, speaking
for Mr.. Graham at a dinner here
said the team has sensed a great
hunger for God in Africa. He be-
lieves that what his taken place
can only be called an act of God,
challenging the people in special
way and calling many unto Him
self. Mr.. Blinco expressed the;
warm regard with which the Ethi-
opian Emperor is held in the West
ern world.
An Ethiopian layman, who is the
chairman of the campaign said that
the Graham team members were
not invited to come there as men
but as instruments in Gods hands
chat our people shall meet God".

point. So the ruling was, in effect,
a defense victory.
The Judge said he would per-
nit testimony on 1851 deductions
by both Mr.. Powell and his wife,
Hazel Scott, concert pianist. He
restricted that testimony, however
to certain categories stated by the
Government.
The 1858 indictment charges Mr..
Powell with making a fraudulent
return for his wife in 1851, when
they filed separate returns, and
with making a fraudulent joint
return for 1852. She was not
named in the indictment.
The jury, which had been ex-
cused during argument on the
motions Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning, was called back
after the rulings were announced
and the taking of testimony was
resumed.
There were three witnesses dur
ing the day. They were Miss
Pearl Swangin, a beautician, who
accompanied Miss Scott on her for
eign and domestic concert tours
in 1851 and 1852; Herbert Dixon.

Church in Harlem, of which Mr.
Powell is pastor; and Jack Ami

Israel who arranged a tour for
Miss Scott in that country in 1851
Miss Swangin testified only
briefly yesterday. 1t was an at
tempt to elicit information from
her on Miss Scott's expenses in
1852 that had led to Mondays
motion for a mistrial.
Mr.. Dixon identified church rec
ords and cancelled checks show

Adds Ababa, Ethiopia-Evange-
list Billy Graham flew to the an
cient empire of Adds Ababa, Ethi-
opia on Monday to close his "Safari
for Souls" which has taken him
to a dozen countries in Africa in
eight weeks.
Deeply etched in his memory was
little drama which highlighted
his meetings in Nairobi, Kenya.
AS he closed simple sermon on
mans sin and Gods love, he invited
people to come and receive Christ
but nobody moved for few min
utes. Then a grey-bearded Sikh
carrying cane strode purpose
fully from the bleachers behind the
platform. On reaching the platform
he looked up and said, "Mr. Gra-
ham, l am here. l have come to
take Christ"
Mr.. Graham leaned over the pull
pit and murmured, "God bless
you."
That evening the Sikh's phone
started ringing. His Indian friends
wanted to know if he had gone
crazy. "Sure l have gone crazy,
but l have peace in my heart for
the first time in my life," he re-
piled.
The campaign leader said the
Sikh had attended worship services
for eight months and had been
struggling against the conviction
that he should accept Christ. A
new convert attended the closing
Nairobi service with two small
boys and told friend he was going
to England to talk with his son
whom he believed to be a Chris
tian.
Soon after arriving at Adds
Ababa, Mr.. Graham called on the
patriarch Ethiopian head of the
Coptic Church.
Early in the evening Mr.. Gra-
ham became i'll and was attended
by two doctors. His illness, a
stomach upset and fever, responded
to treatment overnight. Meanwhile,
scores of Christians gathered in
little groups and prayed much of
the night for his recovery.
Mr.. Graham was unable to at
tend the dinner for the campaign
leaders and governmental figures

Youth Arrested
In xxx Branding
OF Texas Negro

HOUSTON, Tex, Mar. 49,
The police charged 18-year-old
Ronald Gene Erickson today with
"disfiguring" a 27-year-old Negro
on March Z. The Negro was kid
mapped, beaten with a chain and
hanged by his heels from a tree
with the initials xxx" carved on
his stomach and chest.
Erickson was charged before
Justice of the Peace W. C. Rea-
gan in a preliminary action that
averted hearing demanding the
youths release.
Erickson said he had confessed
but had repudiated the confession.
However, Police Capt. Weldon
Waycott said Erickson had been
given a lie-detector test and "the
bottom fell out of the box"
Erickson was named as one of
the four masked men who kid
mapped FELTON, Turner, an unem-
ployed awning worker from a
street. The attack came three
days after Negroes began "sit-in"
demonstrations at lunch counters
here.
Erickson was arrested early yes
terday for a traffic violation"
and was held secretly by the po-
lice for more than "a hours while
the police attempted to round up
others involved in the case.
Captain Waycott said he had
the names of several other sus-
poets. He said additional arrests
were expected.

respect toward the Africans.
The bulk of the whites, while
favoring higher standard of liv-
ing for Africans, do not sanction
the use Of acquired skills by AZ
ricans to displace whites from en-
ployment.
"The territorial segregation Of
Africans is favored and is COM
bined with strong opinions about
discontinuing restrictions upon the
economic development of areas re-
served soley for African use and
occupation" the researchers said.
They found also that whites in
Southern Rhodesia belive that mo

Rockefeller, who has sole power
after a hearing, announced when
Jack was indicted that he would
withhold action since the matter
was then in the courts.
Presumably, it is still there, since
an outraged District Attorney Ho-
gan declared after Judge Gerald
P. Culkin dismissed the charges
that he would institute an imme-
diate appeal in the Appellate Di-
vision.
Stripped of its legal techniciali-
ties, Culkin's ruling held, in effect,
that the indictment was faulty be-
cause it was based on a section
of the law that has since been am
ended.

tioning indicated he had told Gov
ernment attorneys otherwise in
pre-trial examination.
The third witness, Mr.. Amidor
testified as to arrangements for
Miss Powell's tour of Israel and
for payments-or lack of them
to her for her appearances. 1t
was brought out that she had re-
ceived plane tickets to Israel and
expenses while there but that only
$500 of $1,000 that was to have
been remitted to the United States
ever was sent. Israel has restric-
titons on the transfer of cur
rencies.
Mr. Williams said he was "con-
fused" by the testimony and its
relevancy. He asked that he be
allowed overnight to read the stem
ographic record before cross-ex-
amining the witness. This was
permitted.
Court adjourned half an hour
early when the defense and the
Government were able to agree or
the introduction of some bank rec
ords without calling witnesses.
Morton S. Robson, Chief AS
sistant United States Attorney
said his next witness would be
Mrs. Hattie Freeman Dodson, q
secretary of Mr.. Powell's since
1945 both at the church and for
period in Washington. Since
she was an important witness, Mr.
Robson said, he did not wish to
begin his questioning so near ad-
journment. The Judge agreed.
Judge Bryan earlier had denied
request by Mr.. Robson to make
Mrs. Dodson court witness. He
said that if she proved hostile, y
as Mr.. Robson feared she might
the court could deal with the mat
ter when it arose.
Mrs. Dodson spent four months
in jail in 1856 after being con-
victed Of income-tax evasion. She
has been identified as having pre-
pared the work sheets from which
Mr.. Powell prepared his wife's re-
turn in 1851 and their joint re-
turn the following year.
Mr.. Powell said during recess
of his trial yesterday that he un-
derstood some of his friends were
considering raising defense fund
to help meet the heavy expense
of his trial. His own resources
are about exhausted, he said.
Mr.. Powell had thought it pos.
sible his assistant pastor, the Rev
0. D. Dempsey, might head such
committee. Mr.. Dempsey
reached by telephone last evening
said he had not heard Of such a
movement but that he would be
willing to head a committee fol
that purpose.
