NAAcP HAS AIDED CAUSE OF
ORGANIZED LABOR WILKINS CLAIMS

Youngstown, Ohio - The Ma

to continue fighting against dis
elimination wherever we find It,"
the Associations executive secre-

I'VE do not visualize a split with
organized labor, but rather a con-
tinuance - with perhaps better
understanding and deeper respect
of our cooperation of the past.
Certainly we stand ready to
meet and to discuss all items of
program and procedure and to at
tempt to arrive at a reasonable
and honorable agreement on future
efforts"

81. PETER,S ANIE

Shift your gears to positive, the
past is behind us, the present is
before us, the future is ahead Of
us, and the future is as bright as
the promises of God, was the first
words uttered by Rev. Lowell John
son on Sunday morning, Nov. 25
before announcing his text for the
very inspiring message.
The subject was Peace. The
scriptural background I was from
st. John 1927, Peace 1 leave with
you, my peace give unto you:
Not as the world giveth, give I
unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.
And st. John 1888, These things
1 have spoken unto you, that in
me ye might have Peace. In the
world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer I have over
come the world.
Rev. Johnson stated that Peace
is not just the absence of war
among the countries, but war
comes from fighting, fear, and lust
within ones own body. Peace Is
the internal condition of the soul
and spirit free from Illustration
an uneasiness. Peace is love. ioy.
.gentleness, long suffering, and full
fillment of faith. Peace is when we
know we have love one to another.
Uniting with the church was
Mr.. Leroy Landry.
Evangelist Pearl Pleas made an
appeal for the special offering for
the help of the Canadian work
requested by Rev. Bishop Joseph
Gomez.
The Cantinos, Youth Choir, and
the Brotherhood chorus provided
the special music.
The affairs boys were: Jerry
Withers, and William Scott, Jr.
The Brotherhood Ushers were
on duty.
Among the guests was Mr.. Sad
.ihel Kimaro of Tanganyika, Afri-
ca. Rev. Johnson asked him to say
hello" and he brought greetings
from his church. Mr.. Kimaro Is
attending Gustavus Adolphus Col
lege at st. Peter, MINI.

the perpetrators could be discov-
cred if there was a determined
effort"
DR.. King said he agreed with a
report, issued Nov. IA, in Atlanta
by the Southern Regional Council,
that the F.BI. had not been Hgor-
GUS in looking into civil rights viol-
ations in Albany and surrounding
areas in Georgia.
In the report, Leslie w. Dunbar,
executive director of the council,
asserted that the Kennedy Admin
istration had done nothing to pro-
tect Negroes Constitutional rights
in the desegregation dispute.
Asked if he thought President
Kennedy should have taken strong
er action in Albany, DR.. King re-
piled:
'T think the President made
some very strong statements dur
ing the Albany crisis, but 1t would
have been good if he had used his
tremendous influence to bring
about negotiations.
He could have brought the
leaders Of the two sides to Wash
ington, and served as a mediator,
as he has in labor disputes"
DR.. King said he thought Ken
nedy might still do this, because
the situation In Albany Is in stale
mate. The City Commission does
not want to meet with the Negro
leaders, he said, and the Negro
leaders are as determined as ever
to bring about general desegrega-
ton.
IF something isn't DONE" he
said, another tension packed
crisis will develop in Albany"

behalf of Negro citizens"
Zinns study, called Albany, A
Study in National Responsibility"
was published by the Southern
Regional Council, an interracial
group formed in 1914 to advance
equal opportunity for all the
South's people"
The 40-year-old professor said
the government reacted slowly
and awkwardly" to the racial
troubles which begain in Albany
in December Of 1861, during which
nearly 1,200 arrests were made,

Speaker Tells Ohio
Miss. Negroes Very
Happy With Jimcro

Cleveland, Ohio (ANP) - A
staunch young segregationist who
is a graduate of the University of
Mississippi told a northern audi
ence here last week how much bet
ter Negroes of his state are living
in a paternalistic, jim crow society.
Tom Marshall, Jackson, Miss,
city commissioner, who Is on a
speaking tour for the states Sow
ereignty commission, said that Ne
groes in Mississippi are happy as
can be though denied their fund
amental rights as citizens.
Giving the state and the Jim
crow society credit for the indus
triousness of individual Negroes,
Marshall Dragged that Mississippi
has $1,000 Negro farm owners who
hold 100000 acres worth 500
million. Over 2O% of the states
homeowners are Negroes.
Seventy per cent of money for a
state school construction program
Is being spent on Negro schools
There are 1000 Negro teachers,
principals and supervisors drawing
salaries totaling $40 million a
year, an average of $500.
White doctors and dentists treat
Negro patients.
Under our system" Marshall
said "colored citizens enjoy a
paternalistic cooperation from the
white citizens which extends to
helping them when they are in
trouble, sponsoring colored base
ball teams, Colored golf courses
colored parks and colored swim
ming pools"
In noting vast improvement in
race relations from his point Of
view Marshall pointed out that:
For instance, I walk down the
street and meet a colored friend,
I'll stop and talk to him and shake
hands, and Wen walk on down the
street together.
I'VE let Negroes do all kinds of
jobs for us and we ride in the same
elevators and trade in the same
stores. This Is a considerable ad-
vance. Year ago you couldn't do
this"
But despite such progress, Mar
shall does not believe Mississippi
schools ever would integrate IF
the federal government left it
alone"
Here, according to Marshall, an
Ole Miss graduate, is what Is
wrong with Negroes going to a
white mans college.
IF you let them go to college,
they'll go to high schools and
grammar schools. They mix with
the white students at night at
dances and social functions, and
that will lead to dating and court
ing and intermarriage."

MednY Letter To
NAACP ConciIdfoTY
In Text & Tone

Washington (ANP) - A letter
interpreted as IAN olive branch"
was sent to Roy Wilkins, execu-
tive secretary of the NAACP, last
week by George Meany, president
of the AFL-CIO, who had earlier
charged he was breaking off re-
lations with the NAACP and ac-
cused 1t Of being anti-labor.
In the letter, Meany stated 1t
was authorized by the executive
council Of the labor federation
which concluded meetings here in
Washington last week.
Meany said he was writing to
Wilkins 'in accordance with in
structions of the executive council,
in regard to the friction which has
developed between your organiza-
tion and the AFL-CIO."
Meany said he was certain
"the publicity given to differ
ences Of opinion between the
NAACP and the AFL-CIO has
been a source of comfort to the
White Citizens Councils In the
South who oppose both Of our
organizations with equal fanatis-
ism.
But the labor head added, II do
not believe this friction between
the NAACP and the AFL-CIO in
any way advances the interests of
those who are the victims Of dis
elimination in employment in the
labor unions and in their daily
lives as citizens Of the community
in which they live.
Meany said he felt it would be
difficult for the AFL-CIO and the
NAACP to ever agree completely
on the details Of how discrimina-
ton can be fought most effective
ly since you have your own spec
ific viewpoint which Is a necessari-
ly critical one and we In the AFL-
CIO have never held that unions
should be regarded as beyond the
legitimate range Of criticism"
However, he called the attacks
on the AFL-CIO made by the
NAACP Objectionable and asked
that q distinction be made be-
tween legitimate criticism and
sweeping attacks" against the
union body.
Disagreement between the two
organizations developed when the
NAACP filed charges with the
National Labor Relations Board
against certain unions within the
AFL-CIO charging them with dis
elimination against Negroes.
1t was reported that the AFL-
CIO had asked, as its price for set
ting the differences, for the head
Of Herbert Hill, labor secretary
for the NAACP.
Wilkins had accused the labor
organization Of telling the NAACP
how it should run its affairs and
Of debating whom it should hire
and fire. He said he would stand
by Hill and the charges filed
against the unions.
Meany said In his letter that the
