Subpoena Called Logical
AS for Wilkinson's argument
that the sole reason for inter-
rogating him was to expose
him to public cenSure, Justice
Stewart found that lit was en-
tirely logical" for the subcom-
mittee to subpoena him after
he had arrived In Atlanta, had
registered as a member of O
group which the subcommittee
believed to be Communist
dominated and had conducted
q public campaign against the
subcommittee.
Justice Stewart emphasized
the majority's belief that VIII
kinSon was not summoned to
appear as the result Of IAN
Iindiscriminate dragnet pro-
cedure." AS to Wilkinson's
claim that the question he re-
fused to answer was not per-
tinent to the subject under in
quiry, Justice Stewart COM
mented: Indeed it is difficult
to imagine a preliminary ques-
ton more pertinent to the
topics under investigation and
than whether the petitioner
(Wilkinson) was in fact q
member Of the Communist
Party"
Black Writes Dissent
Justice Black wrote a dis
senting opinion in which Chief
Justice Warren and Justice
Douglas joined. Justice Doug
las wrote a separate dissenting
opinion in which the Chief
Justice and Justice Black
joined. Justice Brennan also
wrote a separate dissenting
opinion.
Justice Black said in his dis
sent that from now on, as a
result of the majority decision,
anyone who takes a public
position contrary to that being
urged by the House Committee
on Un-American Activities will
run the risk of being sub
poenaed to appear at a hear
ing in some far off place, of
being questioned on every mi
mute detail of his past life, of
being asked to repeat all the
gossip he may have heard about
any of his friends and ac-
quaintances, Of being accused
by the committee Of member
ship in the Communist Party,
and Of being held up to the
public as a suhversive and q
traitor, and of being jailed for
contempt If he refuses to CO.
operate.
Constitution UnequivOcal
Justice Black said the Con-
stitution, in unequivocal terms,
gives the right to each Of us
to say what we think without
fear Of the power Of govern
ment.
That principle" has served
us so well for so long that
cannot believe it is necessary
to allow any governmental
group to reject it in order tc
preserve its own existence" JUS
tice Black wrote.

that such a privilege should be

Convictions
BY MIRIAM GUTENBERG
Star Staff Writer

A sharply divided Supreme
Court today upheld two con-
victions for contempt of Con-
gress growing out Of hearings
before the House Un-AmericaIl
Activities Committee.
The court majority in both
cases stood by its 1859 decision
which upheld the basic con-
gressional authorization of the
committee and established rules
under which it should question
witnesses.
Both Of today's decisions
were by 5-4 votes. Justice
Stewart delivered the majority
opinions in both cases. The
dissenters were Chief Justice
Warren and Justices Black
Douglas and Brennan.
The cases involved Carl
Braden of Louisville and Frank
Wilkinson of Los Angeles, both
Of whom were sentenced to q
year in prison for refusing to
answer questions put by an I'm
American Activities Subcom-
mittee in Atlanta on July 80
1858. The subcommittee at the
time was investigating Commu-
mist Party propaganda in the
South and foreign Communist
Party propaganda in the
United States.
Refused Answer
wilkinson was convicted fol
refusing to answer this Ques.
ton: Are you now a member
Of the Communist Party?"
In his high court defense
Wilkinson argued that the sub.
committee called him for ques-
tioning because Of his activities
in opposing the committee
existence. Wilkinson pointed tc
the fact that he was subpoenaec
to appear before the subcom-
mittee within an hour of his
arrival in Atlanta to stir ur
opposition to the committee'S
activities.
Justice Stewart replied to
this argument by saying thai

greSs to immunize from inter.

ZION BAPTIST

Blest be the ties that bind our
hearts In christian love. Rev. James
r. Holloway's sermon was entitled
The Basis of Christian Fellow
ship. He defined fellowship as
the state of being together. There
is difference" said Rev. Holloway,
between a crowd and a christian
fellowship" The crowd comes out
to hear the singing, the sermon, to
see or be seen and those be-
longing to the christian fellowship
have Christ in their hearts and
express their christianity in their
lives as they work for the kingdom
Of God,
Two Of many thoughts derived
from the sermon are these: Before
you can have a Fellowship all of
the fellows must be in the ship
and that we should let nothing
separate us from the love Of God.
Sunday, September 3 was Rev.
Holloway's second anniversary as
lions minister. May God continue
to bless his ministry.

ST. PETERS ANTE

The drop in temperature was
greatly appreciated by the church
goers on Sunday morning, Sept.
8, when a large attendance as
sembled to partake Of Holy Com
munion.
Rev. Lowell Johnson offered
prayer for the sick and bereaved,
before announcing the subject for
the morning message. The subject
Of the very inspiring message was
Prayer. The scriptural back
ground was st. Luke 1871. "And
he spake a parable unto them to
this end, that men ought always
pray, and not to faint"
Rev. Johnson stated that the
big questions are what is Pray
err" and why Is Prayer so i'm
portant? Prayer" is a souls sim
cere desire, and falling Of a tear,
upward glancing Of an eye when
only God is near. Prayer is a
christians negative air, Prayer"
is a christians watch word at the
gate of death. Prayer is a pro-
cess of seeking a closer walk with
God!
In conclusion Rev. Johnson stat
ed that God hears not the prayers
Of un-repentance. If one repents
one will have the spirit, and the
spirit helpeth our infirmities: for
we know not what we should pray
for as we ought: but the spirit
itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be
uttered.
The music was provided by the
senior choir. Mrs. Dorothy Sims
Is the directress and the organist.
Mrs. Rose Marie Cook was the
soloist.
The fellowship service for new
members was held at 1880 pm.
The former presiding Elder, Rev.
Nelson Pryor brought the message.
The persons baptized were Little
Theresa Davis, LaVaughn Meyers,
and Carlton Benner. Others re-
ceiving communion and the right
hand Of fellowship were Mrs. An
tionette Kelley and her three chill
dren Twileah, Linda, and Dinah.
Also Barnard Hill, and John Gull

The senior and the choral choirs
rendered the music. Mrs. Lucille

Version and ]. B. Phillips transla-
ton Of Mark 6:31 and Matthew
IL :28-30.
In his Introductory remarks, DR..
Massey pointed out that there are
times when we all yearn for rest.
Our foreparents thought Of heaven
as a place they longed for because
there they could rest from their
many trials and tribulations on
this earth. We, as Christians need
to know how to rest intensively.
The minister told the congrega-
ton that intensive rest was posi-
BILE only II: a. the mind was re-
stead and we INDUCED in positive
thinking. (2) DIR. Massey pointed
out that Christians can learn to
rest in the midst Of labor. A change
OF pace or activity can bring about
rest. Doing nothing is boring and
exhausting. That is why some
members find the church boring
because they do nothing. Thirdly,
the minister pointed out that the
master key to recreative and in
tensive rest is contact with Jesus
Christ. The secret of renewing rest
is to go to Christ who knows what
to do with us when we go to Him
in prayer. .
After the sermon, the ordinance
of Communion was observed.
Music was provided by the Sen
ior Choir, Choral Group and Cos
pei Chorus under the direction Of
Mr.. Richmond, Mesdames Taylor
and Galloway respectively.
You are urged to attend weekly

DdIIdS Police All
Ready For Trouble
I'm School IRfeqr0Fion

Dallas, Texas. - The city police
department plans to brook no in
reference with the desegregation
Of schools there this week.
The Atlanta police department
set a record for handling the tou-
chy school indignation situation
last week and this same alertness
is reflected in the attitude of the
Dallas Police Department.
Dallas police have kept close
watch on about rs to 35 men and
women who are considered extrem-
lists in their violent approach to
desegregation. The Dallas Police
Department is reported to have a
well-documented file on these
people.
Like his counterpart in Atlanta,
Chief Of Police Jesse Curry Of Dali
las is ready to give short shrift
to anyone who tries to start
trouble during the initial stages
of migrating the Dallas schools.
A Dallas official Is quoted as say
ing, We're not playing a guessing
game. II there is to be any trouble,
we want to know about it,"
The Dallas police plan to photo
graph any crowds which form
near schools. This should help to
spot known antagonists for evil
dence.
Governed by Law
A statement by the Atlanta po-
lice chief sums up the official sent
iment found among law-enforce-
ment agencies Of both cities:
II am prepared to yield to the
judgment Of the Supreme Court.
Why? Because as law-enforcement
officials, there Is no other posi-
ton that we can honestly take.
Our country Is a country governed
by law and not a country governed
by man or a dictator.
"As policemen, we are the Law"
In both cities, extreme segrega-
tionists appeared to recognize the
futility Of attempting even the
mildest demonstration at the
schools which are being integrated.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-09-08

In Atlanta desegregation began in
the top grades, while in Dallas
only the first grade is involved.
An Atlanta segregationist said
that his group had no plans for a
protest demonstration. In no case
did he or his cohorts plan to make
any fuss at the schools. He told
newsmen, "a man would be a fool
to go down there, knowing that
he's going to get locked up. There's
no use butting heads against the
law"
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-09-08

First, that it did go peacefully.
Second, it sets a pattern for other
southern cities to follow, and Is
good for the city, the state, the
nation, and the world Third, It
shows what can be done when
officials make up their minds to
obey the laws handed down by the
courts"
Attorney Hollowell predicted
that there would be more pupils
transferred to aI-white schools for
the January semester.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1961-09-08
Dallas Studies Atlanta

The Dallas police chief spent
two days in Atlanta observing the
methods used by police in that city
to insure peaceful carrying out OF
desegregation. Chief Curry had
high praise for Chief Jenkins.
II was impressed with the way
Chief Jenkins had a commanding
officer assigned to each Of the four
schools that were desegregated, "
Chief Curry said. Each one was in
charge Of security matters at that
school. Each had authority to make
split-second decisions in case some
thing turned up.
TITS probable wen do the same
thing here-assign a captain, an
Inspector, or. a deputy chief to each
Of the Dallas schools that win be
desegregated and give him similar
authority"
Mr.. Curry said he collected
mug" shots and descriptions Of
hate-grOup agents.
The Dallas police chief said he
is more confident than ever that
our desegregation viii go snoth-
ly."
He added that Dallas just
doesn't have the radical factions
Atlanta does, and II they can do it,
we can, too"
