NO SEX APPEAL - This, of

producing arguments that is going

majority the Democrats need to do
what they claim they want to do.
AS the campaign moves into high
er speed the question is bound to
come up more and more. Demo-
Gratis control the Congress by 2 to
l.
Unlike the so-called religious
issue" and the question Of whether
Jackie Kennedy spends more money
for clothes than Pat Nixon, this
is one of the legitimate arguments
of the present campaign. The
Democrats have not yet answered
it effectively.
Some of the Darkroom strate-
gists think Kennedy ought to ig-
more the problem They reason that
the more he talks about it the
more it is bound to become a sub
ject of argument. And, they reason
further, the more arguments you
have in campaign the more votes
you might lose.
But the Republicans will not let
the Democrats get away with this
tactic, any more than the Demo-
Gratis would if the situation were
reversed.
Thus far only Sen. Joseph Clark
ID. Pa has come to grips with
the problem of how THE Coali-
ton" of conservatives has been
able to thwart what seems clearly
to be the popular will in the area
of domestic social legislation. This
small, willful minority is able to
prevail, he says, because Of the
rules under which Congress now
operates. Until the rules are chang
ed they will continue to dominate
and obstruct, even if Kennedy is
elected.
Prof. Samuel H. Beer of Har-
ward, a Kennedy supporter and
head of Americans for Democratic
Action, puts it this way:
I'VE are convinced that even
liberal mandate in the election will
not mean the enactment of a lib
eral program unless those who re-
reive it are committed to restor-
alton of the democratic process in
Congress"

that a serious discussion of the
power of THE Coalition" might be
more important than is generally
realized.
In any case if the candidates do
not want to open themselves to
charge of talking down to the vot-
ers, they might come to grips with
the problem.
What is the nature of the prob
lem and how does The Coalition"
exert it's power?
These are the general lines en-
ployed by the congressional OBJ
structionists:
Members of both Houses are
assigned to committees who are
totally out of sympathy with the
party platforms on which they
have been elected. This could be
ended by the House and Senate
leaders choosing only those men,
bers for key posts who are COM
mitted to their party position.
Chairmen of all committees de-
eide when meetings are to be held
and what is to be on the agenda.
The power of the chairman could
be curtailed by scheduling regular
meetings and allowing members to
vote on the agenda.
The power of the Senate leader
also needs restricting. There have
been many times in recent years
when Lyndon johnson and his pre-
decessors simply would not per-
NIT legislation reported out of
committee to reach the floor for
debate.
Perhaps the most important re
form" OF all would be to make
certain that House-Senate confer
ence committees are not packed
with members who are out of SYM
pathy with the legislation enacted
by their own house. This device
has been used many times. 1t has
been customary to put Sen. Harry
F. Byrd on conference committees
after his views have been overrid-
en- by his Senate colleagues.
But in conference committee
Byrd gets his way. If the system
continues unaltered it would be
possible to elect liberal Democrat
as President, while veto power re-
manned with the Byrds, Eastlands
and Russells.

King Hearing
Set For Jan.

ATLANTA, Ga. - Dr. Mar

from a SIS fine and 12-month,
suspended jail term, given
him, last Sept. %, on minor

That date has been set by

Clearly, it is understood that

New Baptist Convention
Endorses Women Preachers

Thousands are hailing the
announcement that liberty
and freedom has come at long
last to those Negro women in
Baptist churches who have
confessed divine call to
preach the Gospel, but had
been restrained from doing so
because of Baptist tradition
and misunderstanding.
Through the years, Negro
Baptist women had prayed,
tasted and hoped for their day
of emancipation when they
would be delivered from this
servitaude and controlling in
fluence.
1t would appear that that
day has now come according
to information released from
the office of the Secretary of
State at Sacramento, Califor-
mia, to the effect that a new
organization known officially
as the international Baptist
Convention had completed
the filing of its Articles of
Incorporation on October 18th,
and had been granted a Ger
tificate Of Incorporation by
the Honorable Frank M. Jor-
dan, Secretary of State.
According to the Articles
filed by this new church body,
the International Baptist Con-
vention differs in particular
from all other Negro Baptist
Conventions in that the |. B. C..
extends full and complete
recognition to those women
m i n i S t ers of the Bap-
fist Church, who, like the men
can produce satisfactory evil
dence of their calling, and the

dain these women as preach
ers, pastors and eyangelists

AS its official name sug-
geSts, the |. B. c. is inter-racial,
and offers membership to all
peoples, regardless of race, sex,
color or national origin.
Another special feature of
the |. B. C. is, ut will seek
to promote goodwill, coopera-
ton, fellowship, and more I'M
derstanding among ministers
and m m b erS of Baptist
Churches everywhere.
The international Baptist
Convention will build old folks
homes and hospitals for its
aged and afflicted members in
their declining years; 1t will
support and establish schools,
colleges, and Bible Institutes
for the education and instruc-
ton and training of Baptist
preachers, missionaries, and
church workers in general how
to acquit themselves common
daily and acceptably while be-
ing engaged in the Lords work
and service.
The |. B. c. condemns sub
versivenesS in any and all
countries where it expects to
operate and has gone on rec
ord that it will never parti-
cipate an any scheme or plot
designed for the overthrow of
any government. Instead it
will ever and always confine
itself to its number one OBJ
jective of preaching the Cos
pei of Christ, which is a gospel
of peace and goodwill toward
all.
This conventional movement
at the present time is only a
nucleus around which a great
and powerful institution for
good is expected to be built,
and identified with it are some
fine outstanding Baptist min
listers and laymen with expert
ence and a pioneering spirit.
The Rev. Mr) c. F. Kyle,
pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist
Church at Oakland, CalifOr-
MIA is giving leadership to this
affort along with others, and
he has been selected as its
first president. Upon accept
ing this high position of honor
and trust, President Kyle
made the following statement:
"Ours is dedicated task of
striving ever for truth, peace
and a clean ministry among
leaders of our own Baptist
faith, and ever advancing
Christianity in the communi-
ties we serve"
Aside from those elected
with Rev. Kyle, other officials
are to be chosen during spe-
cial meetings and visits to take
place shortly throughout these
United States and other coun-
tries.

the International Baptist Con-
