NAACP Labor Sec'Y.
Urges Civil Rights
Action Now

Washington (ANP) - President
Kennedy and the AFL-CIO last
week were challenged to take more
deliberate action in civil rights by
an official of the NAACP.
Herbert Hill, labor secretary of
the NAACP, said he hoped that
the President has not forgotten"
his civil rights promises.
The testimony by Hill before a
House Labor subcommittee touched
off a partisan exchange on Mr..
Kennedy's record.
Hill was the first witness as the
subcommittee opened five days of
hearings on legislation to outlaw
job discrimination against workers
because of race, religion, age or
sex.
Supporters of the legislation
concede it will be difficult to push
it through the House and possibly
impossible to win Senate approval.
Republicans feel they can put
the Kennedy Administration on the
spot by demanding White House or
Labor Department views on the
bill.
I'VE can only hope that Presi-
dent Kennedy has not forgotten
the promises of Senator Kennedy" )"
Hill said.
The NAACP official also crit
icized the Presidents Committee
on Equal Employment Opportunity
as "impotent" when faced by hos
tile employers. Hill said state and
local fair employment commissions
were to a large extent only "com-
plaint-taking agencies"
He also charged that the FEEDER
alton of Labor and Congress of In
dustrial Organizations was de
laying a pathetic game"
1T tries to create a liberal i'm
age while its international unions
go their merry way" he said.
In the political exchange Repre-
sentative Charles e. Goodell, Jr.,
of upstate New York said:
1--WE got nothing and we'll get
nothing unless he (the President)
aggressively moves ahead"
Representative Roman c. Pucin-
ski, Democrat Of Illinois, challeng-
ed Hill to name any other Presi-
dent who had done as much as Mr..
Kennedy for minority groups. The
NAACP official never got chance
to answer.

ZION BAPTIST

Rev. Henry Hardy, intern min
lister at Zion Baptist Church, liter
ally stirred up a hornets nest with
his sermon Modern Youth: Cool
Cats, or Cool Thinkers?" Speaking
for our Youth, Sunday, Jan. %.
Scripture: 1 Cor. Is chapter super
imposed with the Prodigal Son
Story.
The Youth, and other worship
pers were fascinated with the Cool
Cat version of the Prodigal Son
in his attitude about wanting to
be on his own-not caring who
was hurt by his action; but when
he came to himself, everyone was
proud to know this Son was Cool
Thinker after all.
Rev. Hardy stated, The prodigal
Son story could happen to anyone.
Young people go through a stage
of cool eating thinking they
are in the know, and really with it.
This part of their lives is wasted,
and full of false confidence"
To be cool thinker, the young
minister further emphasized, you
must recognize your obligations,
and face your mistakes. Our lives
do not belong to us alone - it be-
longs to our parents, friends, ma
ton, and world. Young people must
plan for a vocation: Use life, not
let life use them. Rev. Hardy said
in concluding: If we find ourselves
in the prodical sons place - we
must admit our fault, seek to recti-
fly them, confess - arise, and re-
turn unto Our Father and He will
give us rest"
The $3.50 pm. Youth program
was inspiring.
Sunday, Feb. 4, our pastor, Rev
J. R. Holloway will preach at both
the 8 and II am. worship services
from the subject Amazing Grace
Coming events: Women's Day
Feb. 25, and, IAN Evangeistic Cam.
paign will be conducted at Zior

NOR that once the white Metho-
dists in this country asked him to
furnish the Methodist Church with
American Negro missionaries for
work in Africa. "Give us black
ones, the darker the better" they
told him, he recalls. They will be
received better"
DR.. Clark believes that racial dis
elimination both in the United
States and in Africa has weakened
Christianity's appeal. Realizing
that thus it is Christianity's future
which hangs in the balance.
DR.. Clark speaks in strong terms
of the work of his church in this
country. Our church." he says,
lis that of the common man, seek
ing equality and justice for all. We
have never wavered from this
course" He adds that the AME
Church has consistently been in
the forefront in the American fight
for voting rights, to end discrim-
ination in housing, for the proper
use of public facilities and the re-
moval Of travel inequities.
AS we come to the close of oul
conversation, DR.. Clark turns tc
the issue of the United Nations IL
which he deeply believes. "Th'
United Nations should be strongly
supported" he says, adding that OF
this issue he agrees with Presiden
Kennedy. Actually" he continues
the United Nations is indispen
sable and irreplaceable as an agen
cy to help the emerging independ
ent African countries"
He proves his belief in the worlt
organization by stressing all tn
means by which the AME Churcl
is carrying the UN role to its fol
lowers. The Church's paper, VOICE
OF MISSIONS, has a UN cores
pondent, and frequently carrie
the proclamations and addresses o
leading African statesmen. TIL
paper is read by thousands of Al
ricans, he reveals. In addition, tn
pastors and teachers of the AMI
Church in Africa, through semin
ars and regular church curricula
carry the UN message.

known dimensions.
"Only the short-sighted and peo-
pie Of little faith see an end to the
work of the church. The faithful
see rising vistas of greater and
vaster possibilities for the people
of Africa to become acquainted
with One who can be for them the
Bread of Life"
Minneapolis spokesman., 1962-02-02
IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory Of my dear
husband, Mr.. James Moppins, who
passed away two years ago today
February 2, 1860.
His memory is a keepsake
From which I'll never part
God has him in His keeping
I'll keep him in my heart.
Sadly missed by wife, Mrs. Odes-
sa Moppins.

policies" of the South African gov
eminent had led to the confisca-
ton of school property Of his
church. He added that he might
have to go personally to South
Africa and try to intervene.
If DR.. Clark goes to South At
rica, it will not be for the first
time. The dignified American
church leader has spent the last
decade of his busy life in the mis-
sionary work in Africa, including
visits and interventions in the in
terests of the sorely tried indigen-
GUS peoples of South Africa, where
the AME Church's situation has
consistently been the least assured.
For example, DR.. Clark revealed
that the Union Government had
detained a Bishop of his church
because he was an American, and
ordered that church leadership had
to be furnished by a native Afrt-
can. DR.. Clark and his collaborat-
ors have found the answer, how
ever. They got hold Of an African
Pastor in Capetown, brought him
to the United States, gave him the
necessary training, then elected
him a Bishop of the church and
sent him home, to preside over the
Episcopal District.
While DR.. Clark admits freely
all the troubles and difficulties
Christianity is faced with in South
Africa-as long as it Is represent
ed by a colored church in the
United States - he nevertheless
recalls with pleasure an instance
of great surprise" in Capetown.
The white Mayor of the town,
having heard of the presence of
DR.. Clark, his associates and their
wives, sent word that he would
like to see them in his office.
'Well, we went" remembers DR..
Clark, land l must admit, we were
quite nervous what the invitation
was about. But we had a great
surprise: the Mayor gave us a
good lunch asked about the United
States, and asked us to tell Of his
hospitality when we returned
home" OF course, DR.. Clark adds
with a twinkle in his eyes, 1--WE
also found out later that he had a
son studying at Yale"
The work of the AME Church
in Africa has a long history. 1t
began in 1927, when Bishop Henry
Mcneil Turner set foot on the West
Coast of Africa and began the
pioneer missionary work of the
church, on the then still dark con-
tinent. BY today, the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church has over a
million members in Africa, and its
work extends over much of the
west coast of the continent, and Is
organized into four Episcopal Dis
tricts, presided over by four Bis
hops. The missionary budget Is
approximately 100000.
DR.. Clark has been heading the
Missionary Department since 1852.
He has been to Africa on two oc-
casions, and, besides South Africa,
he has visited Ghana, Liberia, Sier-
.ra Leone, Nigeria, and other count
ries.
Asked whether Afro-American
missionaries are more successful In
their work than their white breth-
rem in Africa, DR.. Clark agrees
He relates with great good hu-

that nothing was happening

''in d short time there has

Rev. David Cole, pastor of

Urbana." Rev. Cole said, lis
that there are too many of these
good people. .
He said they were the people
who cause most of the prob
lens" because their goodness
is a negative type of thing
He said they were the kind of
Christians who "obey at least
six of the 10 Commandments
they try for a good average.
Most Christians. he said,
"haven't caught up with their
theology. He said toe many
people today believe in "a God
for the white people, another
God for the Negroes, another
God for the Orientals-and. OF
course, no God for the Rus
slams"

moral were the greatest hyp-
ocrites in the world" He re-
ferred to the recently passed
law in Illinois and the attempt
of the Freedom of Residence
Committee to get an open
housing law passed by the
legislature.
THE real high priests of
our community" he said.

ferred to banks as the
temples of modern Amer
lea" and bank books as the
modern prayer books.
Real estate people" he went
on. carry out what the bank

Rev. Cole said the commmi-
ty needed "a few people who
can lead in breaking down bar

He listed four things which he
felt were necessary in order to
overcome the problem of seq
regated housing.
They included an adequate
supply of housing. equal oppor-
tunity for jobs to pay for ade-
quate housing, volume of
housing production geared to
the total market demand and
not to separate white and nom
white areas and finally that the
Negro must start shopping in

tional attitude in the field of
housing is improving.

would carry on regardless and
did so-and after viewing it
last night, I think the Kansans
in question upset themselves
needlessly.
The show made it clear that
farm towns and all farmers
small and large, were in trouble
which are fair statements, anc
it is inconceivable that any
study on the land could have
concluded otherwise.
The Huntley report, in fact
was fairly elementary, and d
good college freshman paper

tistics, could have covered il

the illustrative film. The COM

the way of the view and started
off on that wonderfully naive
note that most TV reports be-
gin. namely that the Tv show
we are about to see will clear
up a lot of silly notions we

One of these days, a TV

assume that the subject and
