Negro Voter Is
VifoI To COP.
Victory Reynolds

1.-THE Negro voter is convinced
that the conservative is opposed t.
his advancement in the field of
civil rights" according to Grant
Reynolds of the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
Mr.. Reynolds told the Young
Republican League that the Re-
publican Party cannot win cleo
tons in the big cities until it
changes its image to that of a
party which will work for Negro
rights, both political and economic
The Negro vote in the big cities
Is the key to Republican victory
He condemned states rights
without states responsibilities, and
cited the 18th amendment as auth
ority for positive action in civil
rights legislation.
The conservative must be vocal
in calling for Fair Employment
Practices laws in order to stop the
flight of the Negro to the Demo
crat party. Without these laws
the unemployed Negro will con-
tInue to support the party which
calls for the largest welfare pro-
grams. He has no other choice.
Mr.. Reynolds concluded his
speech Saturday night by calling
for strong Republican programs
based upon the party's traditional
doctrines of human liberty anc
equal justice.

Edwin tBiID Berry
Speaker At Fifth
Annual Institute

Mrs. Toby Lapakko, Chairman
of the st. Paul Trades and Labor
Assembly's Human Rights Com
mittee, announced that Edwin c.
bib Berry, executive director of
the Chicago Urban League, will be
the main speaker at the Fifth An
nual Institute on Human Relations
to be held on May 5, 1862, at the
Highland Park Jr. High School,
e75 South Smelling Avenue. The
Institute is co-sponsored by the st.
Paul Trades and Labor Assembly,
Minnesota Labor Committee for
Human Rights and the Jewish
Labor Committee. Lou Lerman is
Executive Director of the TEsti-
tute.
Bill Berry has established an
outstanding record in the field Of
human relations. Berry's success in
Chicago in the field of segregation
and discrimination is mainly due
to his ability to sell his program
in terms of the concerns of people
who hold power. All are agreed
that segregation and discrimina-
ton are evil, but he also points
out they are expensive. He asks
the men in power would they like
to reduce taxes and make more
money. What businessman or tax
payer would object to that?
Bill Berry offers a simple solu-
ton, end segregation and discrim-
ination. He then produces figures
which show the high percentage of
Negroes on Chicago relief rolls as
a result of segregation and dis
elimination. He states there are
only three ways to forage for food
in modern society: by working,
begging and stealing. The last two
methods are reflected in the relief
and crime rates.
Using this approach, Bill Berry
has been able to get some conseva-
tive white businessmen to take
some advanced stands on racial
issues.
When Bill Berry came to Chi
cago, the Chicago Urban League
was broke. Today it is the biggest
local League in the Country.

Seek $4,000 For Building:
Can They Do II?
Sobofhoni Church
Thinks They Can ?

| Inc SaDaInaIn bapIlSJ CnuTCn
of Minneapolis met Monday night,
April 9th in an unprecedented
meeting to decide the fate of their
church.
For over a year since the burn
ing of their old church building,
they have been meeting in the
Masonic Temple.
During this interim period they
have been negotiating with the
3sth St. Congregational church for
the purchase of their building at
38th St., and Third Av. S. Finally
after many months Of negotiating
an agreement was reached Tues
day, April 8, with the date of &C.
cupancy set for the first Sunday
in July.
When this exciting news was
presented to the anxiously await
ing members by the Chairman of
the Trustee Board, Randolph Bur-
nett, there were sprinklings of,
Thank You Lord. heard through
out the room.
The enthusiasm was not the
slightest bit dampened when later
they were told by the pastor, Rev.
S. r. King that in order for this
dream to become a reality they
would have to raise an additional
$4,000 within a ten week period.
The members unanimously ac-
cepted the goal and when asked to
make pledges, pledged $4,000 in
single 500 pledges in less than
fifteen minutes.
These pledges represented less
than half the membership. Some
paid their pledges in full, stating,
You can call on me for more If
you need it." Others made SUBJ
stantial down payments to show
their good intentions.
When asked If he really thought
the goal could be reached the Rev.
King retorted,
Somebody said that 1t couldn't
be done
but he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn't, but he
wouldn't be one
to say it until he had tried.
So he buckled right in with a
trace of a grin
on his face If he worried he
hid it,
and tackled the thing that
couldn't be done
and he did it.
Rev. King added: I'VE will do it,
we can do it, we must do it be-
cause God is on our side, and God
never fails"
This we'll organized campaign
will officially begin with twelve
hours Of continuous Prayer
Monday IL noon to IL midnight.
Members will sign up for fifteen
minute prayer intervals. All will
be praying for the success Of the
campaign. Says the Rev. King,
There is no substitute for prayer,
it UNDERWRITERS the total success of
our campaign.
Allen Carter was elected Cam
paign Chairman. Mr.. Virgil Harris
and Miss Alvadine Varnado, CO.
chairmen. At least fifty other
workers will assist in making this
financial endeavor a success. They
both solicit and welcome any and
all community support.

Retailers Likely
To Debate Boycott
OF Red Bloc Goods

NEW YORK, Nov. IA (AP).-
The Nations retailers appar-
emily are going to thrash out
a policy in January on sales OF
Communist-made goods.
Boycotts by right-wing pres
sure groups of stores that
handle Soviet bloc merchandise
have drawn increasing COM
ment from retailing firm and
trade group leaders.
j. Gordon DakinS, executive
secretary of the National Retail
Merchants Association, said to-
day a resolution on the subject
probably will come before the
NRMA annual meeting jan
uary 9.
Harold H. Bennett, associa-
ton president, said yesterday
he personally disapproves Of
sales by American stores OF
products made in Poland
Yugoslavia and other Iron Cur
tain countries. But he said he
strongly opposed organized
efforts to interfere with opera

a contrary view.

Pays Nearly
Million Tex

Most people hate to pay tax
es. but in Montgomery County
yesterday, the Washington Gas
Light Co. paid almost 81 mil
lion. and made a ceremony out
of it.
Norman Laird, manager of
taxation and insurance for the
gas company, presented a check
for 1852, 1853, to County Finance
Director Alex K. Hancock as
flaShbulbs flared and approx
ing County officials looked on.
But to keep the record
straight, Mr.. Hancock said the
gas company is only one of the
"big five" County taxpayers,
and is far behind the Potomac
Electric Power Co., which paid
about $2,015,000 this year.
"PEPCOs tax bill this year, %
Mr.. Hancock said twas larger
than all the bills sent to all
county property owners when
I took this job % years ago."
The finance officer explained
that PEPCO's assessment in
creased greatly last year when
it opened its new power plant
at Dickerson.
The amounts paid by the gas
company yesterday included
about $4,000 in State property
taxes. The remainder, paid at
an average rate of 1925 for
each 500 in assessed valua-
ton, will help run Montgomery
schools and the county govern
ment,
