Dissension Reported
In ST. Paul Church
Over Money Matters

Disposition Of portion of money
borrowed from a trust fund set
up by the late ]. E. Johnson for
St James AME church, corner
West Central and Dale, st. Paul,
is said to have caused rift in the
congregation. Rumors have been
flying around in AME church cir
cles thick and fast.
No officers of the church would
speak for publication but several
admitted that a dispute was going
on.
AIIegedIy under fire Is Rev. j.
b. Glover, pastor of the cOngreg-
alton for the past two years.
The late Mr.. Johnson, a charter
member of the congregation and
longtime officer left an undeterm-
ined sum of money in his will to
the church in a trust fund. 1t is
claimed that Johnsons will spec
ifically ordered that all left be
used to pay on church building.
Several weeks ago because of
the poor financial condition of the
church a portion of the congrega-
ton voted to petition the trust
fund custodians for the release
of $4,000 to pay the church's heav-
ly loaded financial obligations.
Trustees of the johnson estate
agreed to release $1,000 on the
amount left in trust for the
church.
After the money was received
some members are said to have
objected because part of the money
was transferred to the church
stewards fund and paid to Rev.
Glover on back salary he claimed
was due him.
Some members say the petition
for advance of the trust funds
was based on the desire of those
who negotiated it to pay some of
the creditors who have been press
ing the church.
Others have gone so far as to
say the funds disposition was
handled in a questionable man.

One trustee said Wednesday
that efforts are being made to
have Bishop Joseph Gomez who is
enroute to California for the AME
General Conference which con-
venes in May in Los Angeles to
come to st. Paul to settle the
dispute. Other members are skep-
teal of what Bishop Gomez will
do in the situation.

churches in the NV. Conference

at a time when the dining car en-
ployee was stretched across a deep
abyss of economic despair, and
it was by his efforts, working in
concert with the other officers
and the labor movement, that the
dining car worker as well as other
American Workmen, were able to
rise to a position of dignity and
respect.
Mr.. Smith will be hard to re-
place as a Trustee, Robins said.

Parliamentary Debate

In a three-day external affairs
debate in Parliament, virtually the
exclusive topic for discussion has
been the internal policy of apar-
theid, for - as opposition speakers
pointed QUIT is this and this
alone which today is determining
the attitudes of many foreign
countries to South Africa.
Among the hundreds of thou
sands of words poured out in de-
bate there was never once, for
example, a reference to the sum-
nit conference, or the Berlin ques-
ton, or world disarmament-or
even the French atom bomb tests
on African soil farther north.
Instead the apartheid policy
which South African officials are
charged with defending overseas
in the face of tremendous criticism
dominated the debate.
Inevitably much of the discus
sion centered on the dispatches of
the foreign correspondents whom
many government members believe
to be the bogiemen responsible for
formulating critical opinion be-
yond South Africa's borders.
Press Criticized
External Affairs Minister Eric
H. Louw criticized the London
Daily Sketch, Herald, Mail Tele-
graph, and the News Chronicle
for dispatches on recent South
African events. On the American
scene, he criticized Time maga-
zine and United Press Interna-
tional, as well as television news
commentaries by Chef Huntley on
NBC.

the NBC programs on South At

Company, and he had instructed

Washington to make representa-

ADEQUATE WORK FORCE
AS THESE ISLANDS turn seriously to the bust
ness of developing their economic condition, serious
consideration will also have to be given to the matter
Of an adequate work force. Such force would Of neces-
sity have to cover the entire range Of our economic de-
velopment, and all that went with it, and thus include
skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled labor.
PROVIDING FOR AN adequate work force in
wolves much, much more than meets the eye. It is q COM
plicated and delicate matter calling for knowledge. skill
and the proper use Of all segnlents Of organized govern
ment. No effort in this direction could possibly get very
far without close cooperation with city planning, with
education, with housing, with recreation, and all other
facilities. And this is but a small part.
BUT THE. TRAINING iswhat is Of primary concern
here. AS industry comes in and is encouraged to stay and
make good, a work force must be provided. There will
be, no doubt, manufacturing Of many types calling for
the skill Of mechanics in addition to the unskilled work

and money are not lost.
TOPROVIDE THIS type Of work force natives will
have to be trained; and there is where vocational educa-
ton can play a most significant role: Skilled carpenters
auto mechanics, plumbers, machinists, and stone masons
will bein demand. The apprenticeship system, on g
boss basis as in the old days is out Of the picture. It
may then be up to the schools to provide this important
and indispensable phase Of our life.
AND AS WE develop this work force to meet the
needs Of industry; the demands on the rest Of the COM
munity will increase proportionately. This segment OF
the population will be depending money, living IN houses,
sending their childrensk0 schools, and seeking recrea-
