OufSfundinu Men

Inc Men lay program at Zion
Baptist Church at 1923 N. Lyndale
Av. N, was highhghted by the ap-
pearance Of two prominent NAA-
CP leaders last Sunday, June 10.
DR.. Edward J. Odum, Jr., of
NY. a forceful speaker church
secretary of the NAACP spoke
during the morning service.
The other NAACP leader, Kelly
NJ Alexander of Charlotte, North
Carolina, spoke during a special
afternoon Mems Day Program. Mr..
Alexander Is President OF the
North Carolina State Conference
Of NAACP. Under his leadership
NAACP chapters in North Caro-
lima have grown to more than 100,
the largest number In the nation.
The Reverend DR.. Odum devel-
oped his message from a scripture
found inst. Luke 9:57, which reads
In part: Lord, I win follow thee
whithersoever thou goest." He
then related the text to the role
he said men should play in life.
During the afternoon program,
a militant, spirited type Of mes
sage was delivered by Kelley M.
Alexander, who il president of both
the Alexander Funeral Home, Inc,
and the Alexander Burial Insurance
Association, Inc, and has been an
active fighter and leader in civil
rights in the South for many years.
Threats from race hatred groups
have left him undaunted as he
pushes forward for racial equality.
He has attacked discrimination
in education, employment and tax
supported institutions, projects and
programs.
He IL best known for his sue
cessful fight which gained for Ne
groes the right to use recreationaI
facilities on a non-segregated basis

Among other things, Mr.. Alex
ander during his speech urged Ne
groes north Of the Mason-Dixon
line to support the NAACP and
enter the desegregation fight.
He warned that what affects Ne
groes In the South viii ultimately
affect Negroes elsewhere. He child
ed ministers and Christians who
embrace their Negro brother be-
fore the altar, but reject him be-
fore the world.
He related an incident Of dis
elimination in his own county
wherein a 17-year-old Negro youth
was denied brain surgery after an
injury. The boy died later.
Charging men Of Zion Baptist
Church to enter the fight for equal
ity, the North Carolina NAACP
leader outlined ways by which the
problems Is being met in his COM
munity. One Is by voting, and an
other is by creating loan associa-
tions to help Negroes subjected
to financial and economic pinch by
white lending institutions. He pied
ged that Negroes in the South

Capacity Crowd
Hears Humphrey
Al St. Peters

America must concentrate on a
positive program of people, pro-
gress and peace, US. Senate HUI
bert H. Humphrey, told a capacity
Mems Day audience at st. Peter
AME church, last Sunday morn
ing.
The distinguished Minnesota
solon, named third in a Newsweek
Magazine poll of Washington cor
respondents selecting the Ten Best
US. Senators, was in fine form as
he reminded the Minneapolis con-
gregation that the Christians role
was to love his fellow man.
Nowhere In the Communist
doctrine" Humphrey said els there
the word love. The Communist
Lenin program is devoid Of any
mention Of love thy neighbor.' In
the world today where confusion
and undeclared warfare RACES for
the mind Of men, the western ma
tons have got to rededicate them
selves to the original program
which developed such nations as
the U.s."
The United States has got to
get its human rights house in or
der to offer an effective leadership,
Humphrey stated. It's not enough
to talk about the rights Of people
as guaranteed by the Constitution,
the nation must implement those
rights.
Humphrey said he was for equal
ity for every citizen because it
was morally right and legally cor
rect under the laws of the land.
He rejected segregation, bigotry
and intolerance as dangerous to
the survival Of the country.
James Neal, co-chairman of the
Mems Day observance presided

Women Cleared
Of FutuI StGbbino
In Store Dispute

A 30-year-old woman, who
claimed self defense, has been
cleared of a second degree
murder charge, which accused
her of fatally stabbing a man
last November.
The woman. Mrs. Edna A..
Wright, of the HOO block of
Tenth street NV, was acquitted
by a District Court jury late
Monday. She had been accused
in the fatal stabbing of James
Murkeson, jr., 81, of the 200
block of Seventh street NE.
The jury deliberated about an
hour in reaching the verdict.
The stabbing took place in a
store in the 1000 block of L
street NV. operated by Mrs.
Wright's husband for a corpor-
alton.
According to testimony, an
argument had started when Mr..
Murkeson attempted to return
two electrical fuses and the
husband, John I. Wright, re-
fused to take them, contending
they had been used.
During the ensuing argu-
ment, according to testimony,
Murkeson had struck Mrs.
Wright, and was attempting
to pick up a gum dispensing
machine when stabbed.
Murkeson fell to the side
walk a short distance away,
after running from the store.
Defense Attorney Rex K. Nell
son argued that Mrs. Wright
had acted entirely in self de-
Tense. Judge Joseph C. Nc
Garraghy presided at the trial.

The Angelo Petri rolled just as
huge wave pounded across her
and the engine room was food
ed as water caScaded down the
stack and ventilators.
Her anchors finally caught
bottom 81 miles from the San
Francisco coast, directly west
of the city's Fleishhacker Zoo.
IA Men Taken OF
The Coast Guard responded
to the tanker's distress calls
and began evacuating crewmen
by helicopter. Fourteen of the
39-man crew had been lifted
from the heavily rolling YES
sci when Capt. Edward A.
Lehn, jr., of San Mateo, Calf.
decided he might be able to
save his ship and cargo-2.5
million gallons of bulk wine.
Two Coast Guard cutters and
two sea-going tugs steamed to
the Petri's aid and found her in
a precarious position:
The storm was still raging
waves 80 to 40 feet high were
crashing over the rolling decks
and the Petri, with a 30-foot
draft. was in less than 40 feet
of water. Two sand bars were
nearby-one extending out from
shore, the other a bit to the
northwest of the Petri.
Even under ideal conditions,
it would take sharp navigation
to get her through that without
trouble" a Coast Guardsman
said. "As it is, it's real work just
keeping her from getting slam
med onto a sand bar"
Hundreds Watch Ordeal
Hundreds of spectators lined
the beach in a pouring rain to
watch the Petri's ordeal.
The Petri, bound for Houston
with a 39-man crew, carried bar
pilot and one passenger. Floyd
L. Webb, a commercial artist
from Alameda, Calf, was trav-
cling as a guest of the Petri
Wine Co. The ship is owned by
United WINNERS. Inc, controlled
by the Petri family.
