MT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH CELEBRATES 23rd ANNIVERSARY

The Mount Calvary Baptist
Church at 1244-46 South Eleventh
Avenue will during the entire week
beginning August 7 through August

of its founding. Especially will it
celebrate the replacement of un-
comfortable home made benches
and old theatre chairs on which
the congregation have suffered for
% years with attractive church
pews. This has long been goal
of the members, officers and past
or of the Mount Calvary Church.
Incidentally Mount Calvary is
the first Negro Baptist Church in
Phoenix that has reached tn S
achievement. Twenty three years
ago three Deacons. Messrs. M.

erend E. j. Jacobs formerly of
Louisiana but then a resident of
what is now South West Phoenix
was called as the first pastor on
October Is, 1888 and Mount Calv-
airy Baptist Church set up in a
small room, formerly occupied by
an AME. congregation, at South
9th Avenue and Sherman Street.
Fifteen months later the congre-
cation had out grown this location
and moved to an adobe church
building at South 9th. Avenue and
Sonora Street The move was easy
as Rev. Jacobs could carry all the
property of the church under his
arm. Reverend Jacobs served as
Pastor until his death in 1945. Two
pastors from large southern cities
were called and served very brief
terms at Mount Calvary. In 1916
the late Rev. w. A. Washington
was called and under his pastorate

FOLLOWING DECISIONS

Savannah, Ga. - This city'S Co.,
900 Negro citizens began shopping
in 18 downtown stores this week
after an absence of Is months,
marking a high point in NAACP
history here.
The mo buying drive, spOn-
sored by the NAACP, was launch
ed in March of last year after
several Negro students had been
arrested for staging sit-ins against
segregated lunch counters. These
counters have now been inte-

man of the Committee for With
holding Retail Patronage" report
ed that the Negro community is
extremely happy and that 81
600 attended the victory mass
meeting at st. Phillips AME
Church last week.
The 15-month NAACP drive in
this 228 year old seaport city, the
population of which is one-third
Negro, has had many by-products:
Negro voter registration is
climbing and now stands at 12.-
500.
Two Negro bus drivers have
been hired for the first time.
Jim Crow signs have been re-
moved from buses.
-NAACP members have seated
themselves in the front of buses
without incident, thereby encour-
aging the rest of the Negro COM
munity to follow suit.
City park facilities have been
opened on a non-segregated basis
following arrest of seven Negroes
for playing basketball in previ-
ously all-white Macon Park. This
action followed an NAACP petit
ton of protest.
Rep. Oliver w. Holmes, NAA-
CP official (uncle of Hamilton f.
Holmes, first Negro to enroll at
the University of Georgia. was
named by the city council to a
five-man park commission.

Sen. TaImadge Refuses Georgia Rights Support

Washington = Senator Herman
Talmadge has turned down a re-
quest by Is Georgia members Of
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People to
support civil rights legislation.
The Georgians, who were in the
party of 1880 who came down from
the annual convention in Phila-
delphia included w. w. Law of
Savannah, the Rev. Amos Holmes,
Mrs. Eunice Cooper and J. H.
Calhoun of Atlanta. Mr.. Law is
state president of the NAACP.
The Georgia NAACP leaders and
Sen. Talmadge talked for 30 min
utes. the junior senator neverthe-
less ruled out any form of ASSIST
ance to civil rights and cloture.
Sen. Talmadge told the Georgia
group which was interested in mo-
difying the Senate clOture rule
which requires two-thirds vote of
those present to shut off debate
and stop a filibuSter, that he
would continue to support it.
Talmadge also backed his 0p-
position to the Part Three" pro-
posal which was struck out of the
1857 Civil Rights Act. The mea-
sure would have authorized the
attorney general to initiate civil
rights lawsuits.
Asked to do something about Ne
gro discrimination in Georgia, Tai

ployed in Georgia than most any,

INTERSTATE TRAVEL
PROTECTION ADVISED
by ATTORNEY GENERAL

New York-The National AsSocla-
tion for the Advancement Coiored
People has urged the Interstate
Commerce Commission to adopt
and issue the regulations govern
ing non-discrimination in inter-
state travel proposed by Attorney
General Robert Kennedy.
In a letter to the ICC, July 19,
1861, Robert L. Carter, NAACP
general counsel, calls upon the
federal agency to ''promulgate
rules and regulations to insure
the right of interstate passengers
to use the facilities of carriers,
subject to the jurisdiction of the
ICC, without discrimination bas-
ed upon race and color"
This right, the letter points out
has been firmly established since
1855 when the Commission decid-
ed NAACP, v. st. Louis and San
Francisco Ry. Co. and Keys v.
Caroling Coach Company" Anoth-
er NAACP case, Boynton v. Vir-
ginia, would seem to require
all restaurants to adopt a policy
Of equal treatment" the letter
asserts.
Nevertheless, Mr. Carter told
the ICC, the NAACP has con-
tinued to receive complaints that
some railroad carriers were still
assigning Negro passengers to se-
gregated cars throughout the South
and, for example, that the Illinois
Central Railroad was still direct
ing Negroes to segregated cars at
Chicago, the point of origin, for
trips into the South.
We have also received COM
plants of persons being threaten
ed and subjected to violence FOR
attempting to exercise their right
to use interstate motor bus fa-
cilitieS without discrimination in
many areas in the South, par
ticularly on trips that travers-
ed Mississippi.
1t is the view of the NAACP,
the Associations general counsel
said, that by promulgating the
rules and regulations as suggested
by the Department of Justice
that the Commission will make
Enthusiastically clear to all car
riers and their employees that
they are under a duty and an OBJ
legation to enforce a policy of
non-discrimination in the use Of
their facilities.
Mr.. Carter indicated a desire
to present oral argument before
the Commission in support of the
Attorney Generals proposals.

gram, said today. Visiting schol-
ars from tropical Africa can help
strengthen American teaching and
research about a continent that
was all but neglected on Amerl-
can campuses until recent years.
On the other hand, American schol-
arS can help advance the educa-
tional development vital to the
new nations of Africa.
1.-The exchanges have already
enabled American specialists in
education, linguistics, political sci
ence, and other fields to increase
their knowledge of Africa. The

Africans to study under American
professors, and courses at both
American and African Institutions
have been improved as result. !"
