Disabled veterans and Deepen
dents of deceased veterans now
on the Veterans Administration
pension rolls should start now
assembling all income data that
will be needed to complete the
annual income QUESTIONABLE
which they will receive about
January /.
Having this information ready
when the QUESTIONABLE arrives
with their December pension
check will enable pensioners to
complete and return the income
report promptly and insure that
payments are not being cut off
because of late reporting, Will
liam j. Powers, manager of the
Roanoke VA Regional Office,
said today. He emphasized, too
that it is important that all ques-
TORS are answered, or it will be
necessary to return the question
nalre and thus delay the release
of pension checks.
In reminding VA pensioners a
month early. Powers said: THE
majority Of the recipients of VA
pension checks forget they have
TO make an annual income report
until they receive the tabulating
card notice with their checks
early in January and lay it aside
until they gather the necessary
information"
They either get busy and for
get it. or do not have enough
time to gather the information to
meet the 30-day deadline for re-
porting. and then find their pay
ments cut off by VA as required
by Law Powers further ex-
planned.
Powers pointed out that many
in receipt Of nonservice connect
ed disability or death pensions
have income from self-employ-
ment, dividends or interest, or
rental property which sometimes
takes time to assemble and must
be reported.
Pension laws stimulate that pay
ments can be made only to those
persons whose income remains
under specified annual maxi

BY FRANK GETLEIN
Star staff Writer

The CHS television salute to
the National Gallery of Art on
its goth anniversary Sunday
afternoon proved two things:
In the right hands. the plastic
arts on television can be every
bit as pleasure-giving as the
lively arts, and one way to get
more culture on television is
to have more programs graced
with the presence Of the Pres
ident or the First Lady.
The anniversary visit to the
Gallery, carried nationally on
CBS's Accent" was not origi-
nally scheduled to be seen in
Washington. Then it was an
nounced that Mrs. Kennedy
would appear, and WTOP, the
local CHS outlet, saw the light.
The only previous edition OF
Accent" seen here was the
tribute to Robert Frost, which
included remarks by the Presi-
dent.
Until something better comes
along, which doesn't seem i'm
mediately likely, Sundays
show can serve as a model for
what painting and sculpture
can do on the home screen.
To give a tiny but repre-
sentative taste of the treasures
the Gallery has, Director John
Walker chose eight of the finest
paintings from the early Rem
aissance to the early Goth CEN
tury and two pieces of italian
sculpture. The paintings were
the Alteration Of the Magi,"
by Fra Angelica and Lippo
Lippi; Raphael's alba Ma
DONNA" the LAGOON" Of Ell
Greco, self-portraits by Rem
brandt and Gauguin, a Renoir
painting Of a young girl in a
landscape, Winslow Homer's
"Breezing Up" and the Family
Of Saltimbanques," Cor aero
bats painted by the young
PicaSSo.
The sculptures were the

citation Of Broadcasters, augur

Said Chet: "You don't know
how glad I am that you're on
our side"
President Kennedy's funniest
sally was in the TV department.
/. . He was delighted to see
so many network heads at the
banquet, he said, because there
was a TV show in Washington
they might have missed-"Ev
and Charlie" The President
then explained that he got the
cut over his right eye after he
told Charlie Halleck that he
thought he was worth more
than $3.50 for a guest appear
ance on the show. The
audience roared.
Touching all bases (and
obviously delighted to be back
in Washington: ABC's news
chieftain, James Hagerty.
No, the new news show I'll pm,
Washington and New York;
isn't set yet but he should have
the details in a week. The
program will kick off April II
and thereby gain the audience
left over from the Oscar tele-
casts that night.
Saw WTTG's John McCardle
and newsman Matthew Warren
and they could add little to the
news that the Milt Grant Show
"a favorite with teen-agers-
is going off the station after q
five-year run. The fact that
Warren will head a news show
on Channel 5 (similar to the
z o'clock Final. or the $50
Spotlight) indicates how the
channel plans to make use OF
part of the time. The sta
ton simply feels that the show
has run its course; Grant, who
looks at the ratings and the
sold-out sponsorship, is under
standably puzzled.

her next season.
There are five sponsors
lined up for the show" one Of
her aides said. but so far,
NBC hasn't been able to spring

morose tone seemed to imply
that the network wasn't really

I'd like to sing more, and I'm

to do an occasional straight

(The play. by the way, is

After an overall introdue-

host James Fleming, the show
settled down to a penetrating
examination Of the works of
art by Mr.. Walker and an ex-
tremely sensitively directed
camera. The two worked to-
gether beautifully, the camera
always on the detail or the
structural lines that Mr.. Walker
was talking about.
The commentary itself was

The Negro Preacher And

A distinguished American historian, onetime
Ambassador to Spain DR.. Claude G. Bowers, in his
book The Tragic Era, history of Post-Reconstruc-
ton period in the south, following the Civil War;
describes the political interests outside the south
interested in the vote of the newly enfranchised
former Negro slaves to secure their own political
dominance; the influx of white people from out
side the south, some well intentioned and others
who came for economic we'll as political exploita-
ton OF the newly freed Negroes, and are known to
southern history as carpet-baggers
The main success of the Carpet -baggers, which
lasted for about ten years so before leading TO
the period described by Dr. Claude G. Bowers as the
tragic era their ability to create suspicion and
dstrust, hatred and illwill between the freedmen
and their former masters, the most able and far
sighted Of who were honestly and diligently in
search of the ways and means of having the form
er slaves share in the future development of the
south.
The chief support which the Carpet-baggers
got and upon which they soon learned to rely was
that of the Negro preachers who left the sacred
commands and performance of their high calling
to assume leadership in the politics of that period
for which they were in no way qualified either by
educatlOn training experience. 1t was the lead
ership of the Negro Preachers, totally inept in
politics, diplomacy, and learning which led to the
loss of all of the gains of the reconstruction period
and brought about the excuses of the post-recon-
struction, described by DR.. Bowers as the tragic
era
Mississippi IN being invaded by the 1861 ver
sion of the Carpet-baggers, who are finding their
chief support from the sources as did the
carpet-baggers of the reconstruction period.
Any student of southern history can see the
daily development of conditions in the relationship
between white people and Negroes in Mississippi,
as well in the rest of the south, parelling those
of the Reconstruction period.
In the light of southern history if Negroes in
Mississippi forced to endure another tragic era,
it will be because of these Negro preachers, who
left the high and sacred calling of their profession
the preaching of Christ and Him crucified and the
expounding of the principles set forth in the Ser
mon Of the Mount, to assume the political leader
ship, which is totally incompatible with the spirit
ual and christian leadership of their people.
