near the back which had been
set aside for Negro visitors.
They refused to sit there"
Mr.. Smith said. They wanted
to sit in the audience" He
said they remained outside the
church for most of the service.
At Druid Hills Baptist, Off
cials said three Negroes, a man
and two women, arrived and
were shown to a special pew.
The three refused to be seated
there and left the church.
Four students made an un-
successful attempt to attend
Grace Methodist. They said an
usher met them at the door
and told them their presence
would cause a disturbance. They
said they decided not 10 60 in.
In Montgomery, Ala. Police
were investig a tin G to see
whether the attendance of
three white persons at Negro
church services yesterday could
be a step toward kneel-in dem
onStrationS.
Police Commissioner L. B.
Sullivan expressed belief that
the incident could conceivably
be the forerunner" of such Ne
gro demonstrations.
His comment was presumably
based on the theory that Negro
integration leaders might point
out that white persons were
IalloWed to attend Negro worship
services and urge white minis
ters to reciprocate.
Neither the two white women
nor the white soldier, who did
not accompany the women and
evidently did not know them,
were arrested. The soldier was
said to be from Fort Benning
No names were known.
Officers said presence of white
worshipers repeatedly caused no
commotion at the Dexter Ave-

When a Trial Is Not a Trial

of relatively lightly. They are
not really primarily concerned
with Furnishing him.
The fact that Nikita Khru-
Shchev has said he may soon
thereafter come to the United
States as head of the Soviet
delegation to the United Ma
tions disarmament session
may well be related to the
trial.
Powers himself remains an
enigma. There is great SYM
pathy for his family as well
as for him. Our aviation peo-
pie are puzzled. He repeatedly
said he could not use the
election seat. which would
have touched off a blast to
destroy the plane, because Of
the force OF gravity. But our
experts note this is why there
is a powered election seat-to
overcome gravity. Also, they
say. if the force Of gravity
was sufficient to prevent the
seat from ejecting, Powers
could not possibly have
climbed out of the plane as
he is reported to have said
he did.
Fears exist that Powers has
been persuaded" to confess.
The fact his family will not
be allowed to see him until
after the trial increases this
concern. 1t may be unjust to
Powers. But fear remains.
But what we must all un-
derstand is-it will not be "a
trial"

Henry Pledges Sit-ins
For Rights Legislation

Laurence Henry said last
night that his group Of anti
segregation demonstrators will
stage "sit-ins"' this week aimed
at Vice President Nixon. House
Speaker Rayburn, and Senator
Clark to pressure for new civil
rights action before Congress
adjourns.
Mr.. Henry would not reveal
how the sit-ins are to take
place, but promised to sur
prise" reporters by Wednesday
or Thursday.
Vice President Nixon and
Speaker Rayburn were selected,
Mr.. Henry said, because they
did not answer his groups
appeal for support earlier this
year. He said that Senator
Clark. Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania. had shaken hands with
the Devil" when he agreed
with Southern Democrats not
to act on any more civil rights
legislation this session.
Someone told me that there
isn't enough time left for Con-
gress to pass another civil
rights BILL" Mr.. Henry said.
But if they could pass a bill
in eight hours to cut off i'm
ports Of sugar from Cuba. they
have enough time to pass a
civil rights bill"
Southerns introduced
Mr.. Henry was one Of the
speakers at a meeting of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
held in the Mount Carmel Bap-
tist Church. At the meeting
several Negro students who took
part in the Southern sit-in dem
onstrations were introduced
In his talk Mr.. Henry. who is
a divinity student at Howard
University. was particularly bit
ter against Senator Clark. Mr.
Henry explained that he, too, is
from Philadelphia. He said he
would use every bit of power !
possess" in Philadelphia to
make sure that Senator Clark

east. They were used to i'm
press and coerce with fear
the Soviet peoples. They also
were meant to impress for
eign nations with Soviet
ability to discover and crush
the slightest opposition.
Powers will be tried public
ly by the Military Collegium
and the Supreme Soviet Tri-
bunal.
The trial would not be pub
lie if the Soviets were not
sure the results will be what
they want them to be. Amer
leans, with the image of their
own court trials, are due for a
shock. There will be no jury.
Nor will there be any search
for a verdict of guilty or 1ot
guilty. Powers has already
been declared guilty.
Lenin set the basis for So
Wet law. 1t must not be, he
wrote. "a slavish imitation of
bourgeois civil law" The
whole purpose of Soviet law is
to defend the Soviet state.
Therefore Powers trial will
not be a hearing in the sense
that We understand it. The
verdict is already written.
What we will have is sort of
Communist morality play"
with methods highly immoral
insofar as concepts of West
ern justice are concerned.
1t is important for Ameri-
cans to understand the trial
would not be held if the re-
suits were not to suit the So
Wet purpose.
This is to be a showcase
held up before the world to
condemn the United States as
an aggressor. Powers may get

The featured speaker of the
meeting was the Rev. Walter E
Fauntroy. pastor of the New
Bethel Baptist Church. Mr.
Fauntroy warned that Negroes
face a new reconstruction" pc
riod in which big business
will try to take advantage OF
racial prejudices to reap large
profits.
Mr.. Fauntroy was critical OF
urban renewal plans which he
said do nothing but shift poor
Negroes from one area of the
city to another without provid-
ing them with adequate new
low-cost housing.

By Southern
Churchmen

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Aug. Is

men said in interviews with the
Nashville Tennessean last night
that preachers and ministers in
their denominations will use
their pulpits to oppose Sena-
tor Kennedy for President.
They are DR.. Ramsey Pollard,
president of the Southern
Baptist Convention, and B. c.
Goodpasture, editor of the
Church of Christ publication,
Gospel Advocate"
DR.. Pollard of Memphis, told
The Tennessean from Scotts-
boro, Ala. where he was
visiting:
Since the Roman Catholic
Church is not only a church
but a political entity, we feel we
are justified in making an at
tack upon Mr.. Kennedy on that
basis.
If Baptists and Protestant
people could be assured that
Mr.. Kennedy would not yield
to the pressure of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy, we would
be satisfied" DR.. Pollard added
Mr.. Goodpasture said the
Church of Christ is against
Senator Kennedy because he
loves his allegiance to the
Pope" and predicted the Prot
estant protest against the NOM
inee "is Just beginning"
He said the church, with
headquarters here, has about
two million members.
DR.. Gaye L. McGlothlin. pres
ident of the Tennessee Baptist
Convention. said the issue is
not so much that Senator Ken
nedy is a Catholic, but that his
church practices the denial OF
religious freedom"
DR.. McGlothlin said, how
ever, he would not advise his
congregation how to vote. "Ill
just point up the questions and
principles" he said.

DAVID LAWRENCE

What will happen now
that Attorney General Rog-
ers has obtained a volun-
tary agreement among exc
cutives of many chain stores
to abandon segregation at
lunch counters in the South?
Will Negroes tend toward a
token participation and re-
frain for the most part? Or
will white folks gradually
abandon the same lunch
rooms as Negroes move in?
Will it mean that stores or
lunch rooms not connected
with chains will compete
more effectively now by cater
ing to white customers only?
Persons close to the ad-
ministration predict that for
all practical purposes there
will be little change-that
voluntary separation will be
practiced as in the case of
the restrooms in railroad sta
tions when the signs were
ordered taken down, or in the
buses when Negroes took
rear seats even after segre-
cation was legally banned.
The new status in the
chain stores of the South
has been accomplished not
by legal coercion, but by
voluntary action on the part
of the managements of pri-
vate business establishments.
The initiative was taken on
June by the Department of
Justice. which says it in

complishing this objective
would be to approach the

regation in certain establish
ments raised serious con-
stitutional questions. the At
torney General emphasized
that progress in this area
was necessary in the national
interest and because the
standing Of the United
States as a leader Of the free
world suffers as a result of
acts of racial discrimina-
ton"
It is not clear just what is
meant by serious conStitu-
tional questions" as it has
been widely assumed that a
private business may select its
own customers. 1t could mean
that the attainment of de-
segregation detectives at
lunch counters faced a long.
uphill battle in the courts and
that for reasons of expediency
it was considered wiser to try
to achieve integration by VOL
untary means. Certainly the
wide use of the racial-dis-
elimination issue by the Com
munistS has given the Gov
ernment here an incentive to
solve the problem or at least
to try to diminish its signifl-
canoe. The Attorney General
now says:
1T is heartening to know
that private initiative and CO.
operation have been inStru-
mental in assuring equal
treatment of all citizens in so
many communities in such a
comparatively brief time"
One wonders If the key to
the voluntary settlements
that have been made lies in
the fact that legal coercion
has not been applied and that
the force of reason has been
substituted. Did lunch-count-
er demonstrations and "sit-
inS" really accomplish the
settlement in the Southern
communities where the new
arrangement is going into ef-
feet, or was it the potential
effects Of boycottS in North
ern branches of the same
chain store establishments?

boycott itself could, of course,
still become an issue. Organ
