souri, Labor Day week.
The President from Brooklyn
stated:
| want to thank the pastors
of our Convention for the count
less messages of support and
encouragement during the past
year. You have rightly ex-
pressed the true issue of keep
ing our Convention in the hands
of all of the delegates instead
of in the hands of few who
stand to gain financially and
other wise.
lament with all my being
the Valley of Sorrow and shame
through which our denomina-
ticn is now passing. | have
sought well every honorable
means at my disposal to nego-
tate our conflicting claims as
to the Presidency of the Nation
al Baptist Convention, U. S.
A., Inc. | suggested last Dec
ember to the other contender
for the Presidency that we meet
and try to devise a formula of
harmony. My request received
no reply. In March, | suggest
ed that neither the other con-
tender nor | would attempt
to preside at Kansas City until

pastor of the Abyssinian Bap-
fist Church, DR.. Benjamin Mays,
President of Morehouse Col
lege or DIR. Mordecai Johnson,
President Emeritus CT Howard
University be asked to preside
until an election could be held.
No reply was made to this sug-
gestion. | am still open to any
honorable proposal. and prior
to the opening of the Conven-
ton | will ask a deputation to
wait en- the Reverend Mr.. Jack
son with a proposal that we
have an election based on mu-
tually acceptable and proper
rules of voting.
| call on all Baptists to
pray fervently that the House
of Our Fathers may be. set
in order for its great King
dom possibilities. To that end,
am willing to do any honor
able thing, either as leader or
as follower of any man the
people say they want.
In your name and for the
sake of the denomination we
love, those of us whom you
elected at Philadelphia have
faced and endured the ugliest,
most slanderous charges by
those who have refused to ac-
.ept their defeat. Pray for us
and pray for those men who
wreck our National Baptist
Convention by denying to it's
members the ballot.

Senator Harry F. Byrd, DEM
ocrat of Virginia, who will play
an important role as chairman
of the Finance Committee in
shaping this country's trade
policy, has decided to avoid
any commitment on the SUBJ
ject until President Kennedy
submits his program to Con-
gress next month.
In the meantime. however
Senator Byrd is understood to
have directed the staff of his
committee to gather a wide as
sortment of information about
the European Common Mar
ket. around which most of the
debate will center.
Administration officials are
convinced the United States
must scrap it's present recip-
rocal trade law and give the
President much broader power
to negotiate tariff changes
across the board with the Com
mon Market countries if the
United States is to keep its
export trade with Europe.
But the President will not
spell out his plan in detail
until after Congress meets
January 10, and Senator Byrc
made it clear that he wants tt

Rusk on Franco

NEW YORK, Dec. 20 (AP).-
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt de-
MED yesterday she had sent
a telegram to Secretary of State
RuSk criticizing him for COM
mentS on Generalissimo Fran
cisco Franco of Spain.
A telegram signed with Mrs.
Roosevelt's name was sent to
news media, quoting her as say
ing she was shocked and dis
turbed" that member
of this administration could
praise a Fascist tyrant :"
A Western Union spokesman
said the message had been
phoned into its main office
from a coin booth telephone.
The company said the caller
had asked that the telegram
be billed to a number, which
proved to be Mrs. Roosevelt's
private number.
Mrs. Roosevelt's secretary
said last night the private tele-
phone number was known to
numerous persons.
Mr.. Rusk conferred with Gen.
Franco in Madrid last Satur-
day. Mr.. Rusk, quoted in a
statement issued later by the
United States Embassy, said
he was impressed by Gen,

tion. understanding and vital

keep an open mind until that
time
1t is expected the President
will confer with leaders of both
houses later this month before
reaching final decisions OIL the
scope of the new tariff-cutting
authority and on the best
methods of helping American
industries and workers affected
by a freer trade policy.
The Common Market has
made rapid progress in the last
few years in lowering trade
barriers among its own mem
bers while maintaining an ex-
ternal tariff against goods from
outside the area.
Senator Byrd is understood
to have asked his staff to
gather complete statistics on
wages, tax rates and other
factors entering into the costs
of production in the Common
Market area and in the United
States.
Senator Byrd returned yes
terday from a trip around the
world, in the course of which
he engaged in one of his IA
vorite outdoor exerciseS-moun-
tain climbing. The Senator
who frequently hikes through
the Shenandoah Park in Vir-
ginia, did some climbing around

the State Departments Chief
of Protocol, seeking to make the

The president of the Board
of Commissioners, Walter N.
Tobriner, indicated in his letter
to Mr.. Duke that he and mis-
colleagues have nothing against
the larger life as such. The
attitude was expressed in vim

However, if the Department

of the United States in respect
of its relations in international

they do not finch.
Take, for instance, their
mastery graphing with the
case of a representative of Her
Majesty's government, a first
secretary at the British En-
bassy, who mildly suggested
that he was not subject to a
$1.62 penalty charge on his
water-sewer bill. He enclosed
his check but tried to claim
diplomatic immunity.
The corporation counsel's
office responded like the troops
at Valley Forge. They swarped
Her MajeSty's First Secretary
with a 1,500-word legal opinion
in which they proved beyond
a shadow of a doubt that any
body who pays a Sewer-water
bill late in the District of Co.
lumbia hasn't a leg to stand on
in the courts of international
law.

The District Building, the

Buffalo Bill
Gets His Bison
On Delta Hunt

August % was big day for
Bill Gresham of Naptowne Inn.
Gresham and three friends,
Glenn and Nate Rinehart and
Bill Hanson, left for Big Delta
on the previous day to fill the
inn owners bison permit. After
arriving, checking in and being
told which group of buffalo was
on the legal side of the road, Bill
with his trusty .270 brought down
one of the huge animals.
Horn measurements will be en-
tered in the Boone and Crockett
record book. Fish and Wildlife
agents estimated the n m |
weighed 100 lbs. on the hoof.
After about five hours dressing
out the bison, Bill reported he
was barely able to carry the 40
Id. liver back to his vehicle. The
head is being mounted by taxi
dermists in Anchorage and will
be on display at Buffalo Bills"
Naptowne Inn in about three
months.
Bill Hanson took movies of the
entire proceedings and friends
are waiting to see how true the
story is.
Gresham reports Fish and
Wildlife men went with each
hunter and took various tests
on the buffalo in the field. He
now has to send the lower jaw
bone to the university at College
for further study. Age and eat
ing habits can be told in this
manner, he was told.
On the way home, the hunters
stopped at Tazlina Lodge and
flew out for caribou, getting
four. Bill had gotten his trophy
so he left the caribou for his
friends.
Since arrival home on Sept. 2,
Buffalo Billn is promising ev-
eryone taste of meat from this
very rare animal.
