SINGER MAKES STATEMENT

Because of the Memorial Day
Holiday, and the closing of courts
and legal offices, we are unf0rt-
unately unable to- say at this time
that the suit has been already filed.
And we regret any inconvenience
you may suffer as a result of be-
ing invited to a conference which
is, therefore, somewhat ( prema-
ture. But in order that you may
have the background which caused
our action, | should like to inform
you that since 1859, we have both
vigorously pursued a campaign to
make the public aware Of the diff
ferences between,what Elijah Poole
breaches and teaches, and the act
ual tenents of that faith in which
we believe.
Our first concern is that the
words islam" and Muslin" to
the American public have come
to be synonymous with the BLACK
Muslims. - Because we openly pro-
fesS to be believers in Islam, we
have on many occasions been er-
roneoulsy linked with the BLACK
Muslin" sect, a group, which my
husband will later explain, neither
breaches nor practices the true
religion as contained in the Holy
Duran.
My career as a singer has suf-
fered irreparable harm as a re-
suit of the fact that the press has
linked us with Elijah's organiza-
ton. And while, for a time, we
made only personal responses TO
this situation, as a result of a story
recently appearing in the Phila-
delphia Tribune, we filed suit a.
gainst that paper in the sum of
5000, 900. for linking me with that
group which has such an odiOus
reputation both here in Chicago
and across the nation.
Our action against Elijah Poole,
scheduled now to be filed on Mon
day, June 4, 1862, is further ef-

to be a Muslin, and to prevent
him from future use of the terms
Islam" or Muslin" in connec-
ton with the sect which he. heads.
We have also authorized our law
yer to seek injunctive relief against
future declarations by Elijah that
what his organization teaches is
actually based on the religion of
Islam as taught in the Holy Duran,
or is, in fact, in any way related
to the Islamic religion as contain
ed in the Holy Duran.

Arizona Town Announce!
School Desegregation

ELOY, Ariz. = School districts
in this city will be rezoned, eff
fective in September, to eliminate
segregated elementary schools, the
Eloy Board of Education announc-
ed this week.
The board acted in response to
a desegregation petition filed by
the Pinal County NAACP' branch
on April "a on behalf of AZ Ne
gro children. The petition followed
a visit to this city by Miss June
Shagaloff, NAACP special assist
ant for education, for a conference
with Negro parents and NAACP
branch officials.
This small community, located
between Phoenix and Tucson, de-
segregated its high school after
the 1854 Supreme Court school seq
regation decision. However, it con-
tinued to maintain segregated ele-
mentary schools.

taxes on household furniture, and

mounting rapidly toward the 10000
names needed to put the issue on

set its goal for 100000 names,
twice the number required by

Enthusiastically to our petitions, . she
said.
At the same time Mrs. Ames
complimented Arizona's newest
daily, the Arizona Journal, for
it's statement in support of the
inventory tax repeal. She quoted
an editorial printed on Sunday,
June II, which stated:
1--WE favor the repeal of the IN
ventory tax. We think it is an un-
just tax and tends to stifle buSi-
ness"
The Association president took
exception to figures used in an
editorial claiming that removal
of the unjust inventory tax and
welcome relief for homeowners
household furniture would result
in a large increase in other taxes.
"Your figures are exaggerated
and inaccurate, Mrs. Ames charg-
ed in a letter addressed to the
Journal. "They do not take into
account the great stimulation that
would come to BUSINESS when
repeal of the inventory tax would
allow merchants to carry better
stocks and thus yield far more
sales taxes to be divided between
the state and cities.
Mrs. Ames said the Small Busi-
ness Association plans campaign
to provide voters "a clear ex-
planation of benefits every tax
payer will derive from the meas
ure."
She urged qualified electors to
sign the petitions being circu-
lated in every Arizona county. "A
signature, on the petition is an ex-
preston of the voters confidence
in the democratic process. 1t is
his confirmation that this matter
is in the public interest and should
be considered on the ballot.
Mrs. Ames cautioned premature

proposal.
"The changes we propose are

AT ALL THREE periods Of
the Council of Trent, Protest
ants of all kinds were offic-
tally invited. The Schmalkald-
ers refused to take part, and
so the Protestants we're en-

course of the second period
(1551-1552), there we're pres

1851 and on January 8, 1852.
These, however, not content
with demanding that all dog
matte decisions should be
postponed till the arrival of
their own theologians, which
was granted, required also
that the Catholic bishops
should be released from their

and that the Council should
assert its superiority to the
pope. These demands we're I'M

The tension which resulted
threatened a cessation Of the

With the ending Of the
Vatican Council and the
solemn definition of papal
infallibility in teaching,
some were of the opinion
that General Councils had be-
come unnecessary. Dollinger,
during his period of allegi-
ance to the "Old Catholic"
cause, often expressed the
view that the Vatican defini-
ton of the primacy and in
fallibility of the pope would
lessen the Importance of bis
hops as successors of the
Apostles, to the point of
making their office super
fluous and General Councils
a thing of the past. Among
Catholics also the opinion
could be found that the inn
portance of General Councils
was considerably lessened.

THE CHURCH AND CHRIsTENDOM
PaPaL participation ensures
validity of council decisions

Archbishop Jaeger devotes the early part of his book to
20 eclmenical councils that have been held in the past.
The Council of Nicea, in Bithynia, which opened on May
lU, IN the year 35, with almost 800 bishops present, most of
them Eastern, is regarded as the first council. Pope Sylvester
i sent TWO Roman priests as legates TO this gathering.
The LATEST was the First Vatican Council, which
opened IN Rome on Dec, 8, 1869, and closed somewhat early
on July 10, 1870, because of the siege of the Eternal City by
Piedmontese troops.
There were eight councils in the first 1000 years of the
Church; seven in the early and central Middle Ages. and three
councils in the late Middle Ages.
only two councils have been held in modern times, the
council OF Trent which met in three periodS-154547; 1551-52
and l56263-and the FirsD Vatican Council.
Archbishop Jaeger points out that "only the bishops as
successors of the Apostles possess a ius divinum (by divine
laW) Independent of the Canon Law in force at any given
period, dhe right to have an active voice in the council"
THOSE WHO ARE invited and possess a right to take
part IN council discussion include: Cardinals; PatriarchS, Pri-
mates, Archbisho2s and Bishops, even if they have not vet
peen consecrated; abbots and preates nullius exercising juris-
dlctlon over a limited number of faithful; mitred abbots and
generals OF religious orders Or congregations of monasteries
and the generals of the exempt orders of clergy.
T1tular bishops can be invited and take part in the dis
cuSSlon unless some other provision is expressly made at the
Convocation.
If theoIogians and canonists are invited. thew have on1v
consultative status.
Any of those invited who are unable to attend in person
must send a procurator who can attend, and add his sigma
ture to DEGREES at the end.
THE RIGHT to convoke an ecumenicaI council is the
PopeS alone, he presides over the conferences in person or
through his le9ates and decides on the agenda and the sub
Jects to be discussed. The Fathers of the Council can add
oIher questions to those unlimited by the Pope, which must
first be accepted by the President of the Council. The Pope
can transfer, suspend and terminate the Council; he must
confirm the decisions in order to make them valid and bind
ing.
The FirSD Vatican Council, the latest such gathering to
date, brought the definition of the Pope's infalibiity in the
exercise OF the supreme teaching office in the Church. Be-
cause of this action, there were those who thought ecumenical
council had become a thing of the past. Archbishop Jaeger
takes cognizance of this belief at the point where the install
mentS from his book begins.

1859 and the Vatican 1859
1870, there was an interval
of more than 800 years. Yet
barely 80 years after the Va
tlcan, a new council has been
announced.
Closely connected with the
doubts about the the value of
of a General Council after the
Vatican is the question of the
relation of the pope to a
council.
An ecumenical or General
Council is a solemn assembly,
called by the pope, of the
bishops of the Catholic
