tives Of the National Association

Reuben s. Rhea, the Gulf distribu-
tor in Somerville, Tenn, to sell
gasoline and other Gulf products
to Fayette County Negroes who
had registered to vote or partic-
ipated in the NAACP-sponsored
campaign to roll up a large Negro
registration.
Mr.. Rhea has been specifically
charged with refusal to sell Gulf
oil to John McFerren, a Somer-
vile service station owner and q
leader in the Fayette County voter
registration cmapaign.
As a result Of refusal Of local
distributors to sell to politically
active Negro farmers, merchants
and others in the county, NAACP
Executive Secretary Roy wilkins,
in a memorandum issued on July
Is, called upon Association MEM
bers and friends throughout the
country to refrain from purchasing
gasoline and oil from the offending
companies In addition to Gulf, he
listed Texaco, ESQ, Amoco. Also
Delta, Lion Gas, and the Southern
Oil Refining Co.
Representing Gulf Oil at the

ment; Fred Schofield, division at

ant director, public relations.

Lee Moon, director, public relations;
and L. Joseph Overton, president of
the Associations New York branch.
| Speaking for his company, Mr..
Searls affirmed the Gulf policy Ito
serve anyone irrespective Of race,
religion, color or national origin"
He said that company officials had
already had one conference with
their Fayette County distributor
urging him to supply all dealers
and other customers. They expect
to talk further with him. Inasmuch
as Mr.. Rhea is not an employee Of
the company, but an independent
contractor, Mr.. Searls explained
they could not order him to sell t
anyone. His contract expires as Of
December 1, 1860.

meager but she sat down and
planned how they would get along.
Her mother came from her home
a few miles away and while Mrs.
Alice Jones, the widow, went to
work away from home her mother,
Mrs. Carrie w. took over manage
ing the home and children.
They planted a vegetable gar
den, sold eggs and chickens and
the grandmother, Mrs. Carrie w.
pieced quilts in between all Of her
other household duties and with
the help of the children the house
was neat and clean and so were
the children. That was when wom-
en- really worked at home.
Both women belonged to a church
club, and one night while the fam
lily was attending a mid-week
service the minister announced
that the visiting minister who was
to be his superior had arrived q
little earlier than he was expected
and the minister asked for a vol
unteer to take hime home that
night and let him be a guest until
over Sunday.
Not a hand was raised and the
silence was sitting. After about
ten minutes or perhaps it was only
ten seconds, Mrs. Jones, the widow
with six children and her mother
stood up and said she would b
happy to keep the visiting pastol
until further plans were completed
She, of all the members, was tn

As she gave to a beggar, this morning,

With a scepter in her hand;
No matter how others see her,

New Move to Cut

BY the Associated Press

Representative Lankford,

yesterday Maryland would lose
$1.8 million in Federal aid to
schools under President Eisen-
hower's budget proposals.

Congressman. who led a sue
cessful fight to prevent a sim

Gated he would do so again.
Mr.. Landlord said 81 million
OF the reduction would come in
the 5th district, which he rep
resents. Its schools are heav-
lily populated with children of
Government workers and mill.
tary personnel. The Federal
Government contributed SIS
million toward the cost of their
schooling last year.
This recommendation (for
a reduction) constitutes a clear
abdication by the Federal Gov
ernment in those areas where
its impact has contributed to
the overwhelming problem Of
providing adequate educational
facilities" Mr.. Lankford said
