Trouble for PrOfumO reached
the breaking point when DIR.

ProfumO then had no alternative
but to admit that he had lied,

With Edgecombe and Gordon in
Jail, their stories of the many
activities of Christine and the
others remain virtually untold. The
British government and the press
last week were concentrating on
the possibility that Profumo might
have leaked vital information to
the Russians through Capt. Ivanov.
At last report, however, Profumo
was given a clean bill on that
score.
Nevertheless, it is believe that
If and when Edgecombe and Cor

This much Is certain. But for
Profumo's jealousy, there might

and the shattered career Of one of
England's leading political fig
ures.

NY. Store Locks
Significant Negro
Govt. Annoinfments

New York CAMP - The State
of New York, has feet of clay in
the matter of employment Of Ne
groes in top eschelon positions.
This Is the charge of Rev. Rich
ard A. Hildebrand, president of
the New York City branch Of the
NAACP.
Acknowledged national leader
in the field Of social legislation,
New York, according to the NAA-
CP executive, has sorry record
of performance in its numerous
boards, commissions and agencies.
According to Rev. Hildebrand,
'ft's not enough for Governor
Rockefeller to express indignation
at President Kennedy for not NOV
ing fast enough on civil rights. Let
the Governor clean up his own
backyard before he INDUCES in
backfence gossiping about the
Kennedy's problems.
I'm the Executive Department
under his control there are no Ne
groes on a policy-mal1ing level in
the Divisions of the Budget, Mil
itary and Naval Affairs, Veterans
Affairs, Office Of Atomic Devel-
opment and Office for Local Gov
ernments.
But the most fragrant Of these
is the State Liquor Authority, a
department that Is today scandal
ridden and almost drowning in its
own liquid sin. According to re-
ports issued periodically by the
whiskey industry Negroes, who
make up less than half the popula-
ton Of New York State, spend
twice as much per capita in pur-
chasing alchohal. Yet no governor
from the inception Of the State
Liquor Authority 80 years ago has
found it politically expedient to
name a Negro as a full commits
sioner Of the board.

Chicago CAMP - Comedian
Dick Gregory, now performing in
San Francisco, was asked last
week by a group of Chicago bus
mess and professional men, many
Of whom he knows personally to
urge Sen. Everett Dirksen to sup
port in full President Kennedy's
civil rights legislative proposals.
The Chicago group that lunches
together daily at Lake Meadows
restaurant appealed to Gregory
because the comedian actively
campaigned for Dirlsen when he
ran successfully for reelection
last year.
Dirksen, who has been quoted as
saying he didn't feel he owed the
Negro voters Of Illinois anything
because they didn't support him,
has been only lukewarm to most
Of the Presidents civil rights
package and has agreed with
Di1decrats in their opposition to
some phases Of the bill, especially
the public accommodations Sec
ton.
The men, in a telegram to Greg
DRY, said his attitude reflects
neither yours nor our thinking and
since you campaigned so arduous-
ly for him, we feel you are in posi-
ton to enlighten him"
The group was still awaiting
Gregory's reply at the end of the
week.

Taxpayer Sues
To Dock PoWeII'S
Ahsanee From

Absence From Congress
Washington CAMP - A Cum
berland, Md, taxpayer who feels
that he is being cheated because
of the uninterrupted pay of Con-
gresham Adam Clayton Powell
filed a suit in us. District court,
last week, to have the controver-
sial Congressman's salary cut for
days he has been absent from
Congress.
Basing the suit on a largely
unused, but still valid, Federal
statue enacted in 1872 which
states that the House and Senate
can deduct a days pay for each
days absence by members except
in the case of illness, William D,
Golf, Sr., contends that Powell
should refund to the Treasury "all
monies improperly paid to him."
Powell (D-N.Y), In recent
months has been criticized for trips
he and his staff members took to
Europe, and for additional trips
the Congressman has taken to his
Puerto Rico home.
Noting that Powell's $22, 6o0-a-
year salary is paid from the funds
of the Treasury. Goff said that
failure to dock Powell's pay "con-
stitutes an illegal expenditure Of
public funds and Is damaging to
the plaintiff taxpayer as well as
all other taxpayers Of the United
States"

they have pledged to do.
The debate also exposed the
divergent views among Republ-
cans, some of whom sincerely want
to declare war on southern Sem
ators and break their control over
the Senate, and others, enamored
by recent COP victories in the
South, who want to stay clear Of
the civil rights fight.
Senator Jacob j. Javits, an
OutspOken COP civil rights ad-
vOate from New York, said his
party must bear the blame II
no civil rights bills are passed.
He warned that the basic issue
in the forthcoming struggle will
be cloture (the ability Of the Sem
act to cut off debate) and that the
Republican party holds the key
to cloture.
Said Javits: 1T Is said that of
the 81 members on the Democratic
40 votes and no more than 40
votes for cloture . . we will need
at least % votes on this side to
win this epochal struggle" A two
thirds vote (67) Is needed to stop
debate.
But another COP Senator, John
Sherman Cooper, Of Kentucky,
blamed the lack Of passage Of civil
rights bills ON the Democrats, and
asked II the Administration really
intends to press for passage Of ita
Forthcoming bills.
Cooper, who along with Sen.
Thomas j. DOdd, Of Conn, has
introduced a number Of civil

sis on civil rights represents a

KEEP COOL
When others think the day Is hot
and that the weathers bad,
Just try to think Of other things,
the things for which you're
glad.
In summer days when others fret,
just find shady pool,
Refresh your mind and rest your
soul. In other words: Keep
cool.
And, If there is no pool at hand,
not cen a shady brook,
Just look about for any place
that'n make a quiet nook;
For, after all, 1t matters not the
time, the place, the spot;
IF you're determined to keep cool,
there's naught can make you
hot.
You do not need thermometers to
tell you when it's cold;
When others say, IT'S hot today"
be sure you do not scold;
You'll never mind the summer days
or be the weather's tool,
If you can stay all cool inside and
let your thought keep cool.

It became known last week that
the lid was blown off the scandal
by Profumo's faux paus. The
blunder was made, it was dis

become awed by Christine's clan

have to shed her Jamaican lovers.
Until then, it seems, she was
quite thrilled by the IOve-making

Edgecombe has been described
as a playboy who lived off the
earnings Of prostitutes. Both are
suspected Of pimping Miss Keller.
Both demonstrated their objection
when she attempted to shut off
their affection, and no doubt their
income from her.
Anyway, after Christine met an
American born osteopath named
Stephen Ward, she had no time
for Edgecombe and Gordon. The
two, however, were determine to
continue to see her.
Ward, it was reported, took
over the pimping from the JAM
aicans.
He set up a cozy love nest in an
apartment coverted from stable
where Christine could meet prom
inent and wealthy dates, includ-
ing Profumo, heir to an 11-million-
dollar insurance forthune, and
Capt. Yevgemy Ivanov, Russian
attache-playboy. DR.. Ward, who
doubles as an artist and whose
subjects included such high people
as Prince Philip and Princess Mar

in the flat with Christine. He was
Jailed recently on a charge Of hv-
ing off the earnings of prostitutes.
Profumo, meantime, had met
Christine at party at the Give

IS. He saw her swimming in the
nude, and thus got a closeup on
her vital statistics. Accompanied
at the time by his actress wife
Valerie Hobson, he had to wait his
chance. Christine's apartment pro-
vided the answer. He and the Rus

Meanwhile, EdgecOmbe and

There has always been a life
worth fighting for and that is the
fight for equality and justice, to
break the people who do not want
others to enjoy the freedom they
enjoy. To teach our sons and
daughters that it is an honor to do
right at all times. This Is the life
worth fighting for and worth living

If you want to make your life
worth living, you can do it! You
have to look at life in a broad
way, rise above all Of the petty
trials of the day. Talk Of happi-
ness and success, not Of failures
and contrary things. Think happi-
ness and you will find you ARE
happy. Think unhappy thoughts
and before you know it your spirits
have sunk until you feel wretched.
Look up at the sky and enjoy
the sight you see and you will see
how very small you are and know
ing this, you will make a resolu-
ton to make your Life worth nv-
