''WorId's Oldest Cot"
Dies In LUfkin, Texas

Lufkin, Texas (ANP)-Au cats,
according to legend, have nine
lives, but last week when kitty
died, her OWNERSHIP. and Mrs.
Ike Cox-said she may have been
the oldest cat in the Nation. Kitty
was 80 years old, and repeatedly
had been in the Cox family all her
life.
An AMP reporter here contacted
the Animal League in Chicago, to
compare the age of a cat with that
of a human. League officials said
that cat one year old, is the same
age as that Of a human eleven
years old! Accordingly, the Cox
cat-in human values - was $50
years old! 1T Doesn't Seem Pos
sible," commented the Animal
League official.

Sun-Bright Windows

ENJOY THE SUNSHINE
while it's here, with spar
king clean windows. In
grandma's day, keeping them
that way was a real chore
but today, there's a blue
spray mist window cleaner
which cleans glass quickly
and efficiently without even
getting your hands wet-just
spray it on and wipe the
window clean with a paper
towel. The blue spray mist
is recommended because it
has a special preparation that
cuts dirt and grease and
leaves no film on the glass.
Paper towels are preferable
for window and glass clean
ing because they are free
from soap or detergent resi-
due which tends to leave
streaks or film.
This modern way makes a
once tedious, yet necessary,
household task easy and SIM
pie. Sunshine through clear,
clean window panes gives a
bright lift to your whole
house - makes it a happier
place for family and friends.

Charge Toledo. O.
Banks Won't Finance
Homes Outside Ghetto

Toledo, Ohio (ANP) - Toledo
banks and other lending institu-
tions refuse to make mortgage
loans to Negroes for purchase Of
property in lily-white neighbor-
hoods because of fear of reprisals
from their depositors, a City Coun-
Gil committee was told last week.
Testifying before the committee,
King Baer, chairman of the Board
of Community Relations housing
committee, and Frank Eager, BCR
executive secretary, said the lend
ing agencies rarely will finance
homes for Negroes in so-called
white neighborhoods.
The council committee is study
ing a BCR proposal to enact open
occupancy Legislation patterned
after laws in New York and other
states and New York City and
Pittsburgh.
Some bankers would welcome
open-occupancy legislation, the
BCR spokesman said, adding:
They would like to do the right
thing, but fear repercussions from
depositors."
They pointed out that in the
last 20 years, only per cent Of
new homes built in the city have
been for occupancy by Negroes.
Since 1850 there has been a So per
cent increase in Negro population
but only 10 per cent in the number
of residential blocks made avail
able for them.
They said that failure to end
residential segregation causes rae
ial tension.
Each day this practice con-
tinues the city Ia losing ground to
the forces Of segregation and
weakens its efforts to end racial
friction"

with a profusion of roses in bloom,
as well as other flowers, was truly
picturesque and an inspiration to
every green THUNDER.

beautifully arranged, while Mrs.
Spencer Shivers, 1921 Fourth Av.

ton which were ablaze with color
and of special mention was the
lovely vegetable garden, all neatly
arranged and the handiwork of Mr..
Shivers as his pet hobby.
A profusion of roses in bloom
was the conversation piece at the
home Of Mrs. Frank Corners, 1899
Fifth Av. s., as well as the riot Of
color Of her other flowers. Mrs.

den with a large variety of old
fashioned flowers added that eleg-
ant touch.
The group then went to the
home of Mrs. Clarkson Houser,
1457 Albany Av., in st. Paul,
whose garden contained a large
variety of different flowers in
bloom and was very colorful and
picturesque. Especially adding
color was the new rose garden
planted around the rock garden.

of Mrs. Elmer Smith, 3519 Smelling
Av., whose garden showed care in
the arrangement. A new gardener,
Mrs. Smith promises to be an art

which was enjoyed and concluded

tion in Africa, the speaker pointed
out that Africans are traditionally
agrarian and that they were en-
gagged in primitive agriculture be-
fore they came in contact with the
Western World. Under colonial rule
the composition of the African So
ciety was not altered except that
the profits were shared between
the colonial government and the
merchants. "The Africans called
this exploitation, and they resented
it,, he said.
in the African economy today,
nearly ninety percent of the Afri-
can population is currently engag-
ed in agriculture with the revenue
from export commodities as the
backbone of the economy. "Unless
the underdeveloped countries can
obtain enough capital to develop
their natural resources, their de-
sire for economic growth will never
come true" the speaker stated.
Four sources of internal capital
formation, sayings taxation, infla-
tionary financingt and community
projects were discussed by the
speaker who ssid call underdevelop-
ed countries need to explore their
internal sources before asking for
outside assistance"
Private loans and investment,
public loans and grants and tech
nical assistance programs are some
of the ways outlined by the speaker
for external sources of funds.
Citing the need for more technical
assistance, DIR. Jawando praised
President Kennedy's Peace Corps
plan. "The Peace Corps is likely
to be more effective than a billion
dollars in foreign aid," he said.

from Rev. Jackson pledged the fl
nancial support of the five-million
member organization to the vic
Tins of the attacks by the police
dogs.
Rev. s. L. Whitney, Pastor of
Parish Street Baptist Church, and
Vice President of the Mississippi
Baptist Seminary, a local institu-
tion for the training of Negro
Baptist Ministers, Rev. David Nc
Pherson, Pastor of Christ Temple
Church, two of the most prominent
ministers in the city, whose con-
gregations include many of the
city's most able and influential
Negro leaders were among those
who attacked by the police dogs.
Others included an 81-year-old
news vendor, commonly known as
Brother Wren, Medger Evers,
State NAACP Secretary, one Jack
son State College coed, and Tom
Armstrong, owner and operator of
the Parish Street Newsstand and
also a widely known photographer
who furnishes the pictures for the
Negro news section of the Jack
son Daily News, one of the city
and states leading newspapers.
According to police reports
Armstrong was beaten by a white
spectator, Red Hydrick, and well
known Rankin County bootlegger
and whisky dealer.
The incidents also brought to
Jackson, almost Immediately,

Investigation, who mingled among

was going on at the Masonic Tenn
pie Friday night as scores of uni

scheduled to speak but who were
unable to attend the meeting.
According to well informed
sources the city of Jackson may
be called upon to face big dam
age suit as a result of the police
dogs attacking the Negro specta-
tors at the trial scene. These re-
ports say an intensive study of
the legal aspects of such suit is
being made by some of the ablest
legal minds in the nation in prep
aration for bringing such a suit.
According to reports the police
unleashed the dogs when some of
the Negro spectators started clap
ping hands and the students ap-
peared to enter the court room,
and did not disperse fast enough,
Or start running when told to run
by the policeman holding the dogs.
Just when such a suit will be
brought, and for how much money
was not revealed.
Mayor Allen C. Thompson, fol-
lowing the incidents following the
students sit-ins took to the tele-
vison and radio airways Friday
in a call for racial peace in the
city. His ten-minute speech in
cluded review of the growth and
progress of the city, during the
past 20 years, IL of which include
his tenure as mayor, which he said
came largely as a result of the
peace and goodwill existing among
the white and colored people of
the city. He urged that the rela-
tionships that have existed between
the white and colored people of
the city during this period be not
destroyed by outside forces set on
destroying the city's good race re-
lationship. While not mentioning
the use of the police dogs Wednes-
day afternoon, he said that the
laws of the city would be strictly
enforced against all citizens, white
or colored who violate the law.
The speech made no mention of
the conditions that lead to the sit
in demonstrations at the municipal
library. No mention was made of
the real or alleged grievance of the
Negro citizens of the city, and no
promise in regard to a program
for the future.
1t was impossible to get any es-
innate of the infleunce of the
mayors speech on the city's Ne
gro community, as its most influ-
entail Negro leaders had no COM
ment to make on the speech.
At the trial Wednesday after
noon, the nine Negro students
were fined 500 each and given a
suspended sentence of 80 days in
Jail, provided they take part in no
more sit-in demonstrations. The
maximum penalty under a new law
enacted by the last State Legisla-
ture is $500 fine, six months in
Jail, or both. Attorneys for the
students gave immediate notice of
appeal, and the trial was generally
viewed as the beginning of the
long trek of the case for final dis
position by the United States Su-
