TORONTO, Aug. "a (AP) -
Churchmen representing A
million Anglicans around the
world have wound up an IL
day meeting with a resolution
condemning racial discrimina-
ton as sin.
The Anglican Congress ended
last night with another debate
on the language of the resolu-
ton, which African delegates
criticized as too mild.
The final version Of Congress
opinion called for the church
to support the defense Of civil
rights and expressed shame
that barriers Of race should
still persist in the life Of the
church"

Finally, there is the pro-

may be the greatest Of all the

charity I simply mean brother

"The essential question is:
Are we, whether we be black

Lyford says that "our troubl-

to end with the signing of a
compact between the white and
Negro American that simply
guarantees coexistence in the
same nation with equal protec-

Vice-President Johnson says
that until justice is blind to
color, until education is un-
aware of race, until opportunity
is unconcerned with the color
of mems skins, emancipation
will be a proclamation but not
a fact"
Weaver calls for a large-scale
training program for today's
labor reserve eff it is to find
gainful employment. Among
non-whites this frequently in
wolves more than exposure to
vocational training. Many of
them are functionally illiterate
and require basic education
prior to any specialized prepara-
tion for a job"
of course, there are those
who observe that the average
income, the incidence of home
ownership, the rate of acquisi-
ton of automobiles, and the like
among Negroes in the United
States are higher than in some
so-called advanced nations.
"Comparisons like this mean
little. Incomes are significant
only in relation to the cost of
living, and the other attain
ments and acquisitions are
significant for comparative pur-
poses only when used to reflect
the Negroes relative position in
this nation or the relative posi-
ton of other nations in the
world.
"As he has so frequently and
eloquently demonstrated, the
Negro in America is an Ameri-
can. His status, no less than his
aspirations, can be measured
meaningfully only in terms Of
American standards.
"Viewed from this basis
what are the facts?
"Median family income among
non-whites was slightly less
than SIS per cent of that fol
whites in 1859; for individuals
the figure was 80 per cent.
"Only a third of the Negro
families in 1859 earned enough
to sustain an acceptable Ameri
can standard of living. Yet thi:
involved we'll over a million Ne
gro families, of which 5000
earned $25, 900 or more"
There are over 30,000,00(
Americans, Negro and white
living in poverty today. "Fol
the most part, we resent then
and the outlays for welfare ser
vices required to help them
They are a people separate from
the majority of Americans, fo,
whom the majority accepts onl!
the minimum responsibility
Thus, for the first time in th'
United States, we have class
unemployment"
Lyford's paper, emphasizing
the educational prospects of Ne
gro children, takes some civi
rights groups to task for thei
"lack rapport" with the low-in
come Negro and their failure t.
| work with him on the gras
| roots level to deal with his mos
urgent needs, especially in hous
ing and education.
Lyford writes that low income
Negro parents he has interview
| ed show little enthusiasm TO,
the massive shifting of Negr'
Jackson advocate., 1963-10-05

and white children out of their
neighborhood schools in order
to achieve "some sort Of racial
parity"
"In view of the civil
rights organizations preoccupa-
tion with education, it is of
some interest that the question
of racial percentages in the loc-
al schools was never brought
up by the Negro and Puerto Ri
can parents whom l interview
ed" Lyford says. "When I in
troduced the subject, it evoked
little interest"
The parents concern Is
whether the child is learning
to read and write, whether he
has a teacher who likes him
and has taken the trouble to
acquire some knowledge about
his family"
Lyford comments that of all
the "big three groups" now act
ing as "spokesmen" for the Ne
gro, CORE "would seem to be
the most remote from the every
day interest of the West Side
Negro.
although the organization
has been successful in attract
ing public attention by its dem
onstrations at City Hall and it's
frequent press statements at
tacking discrimination, it has
shown little disposition to work
on the neighborhood level at the
day to day business of helping
Negro and Puerto Rican fami-
lies figure out practical ways
of dealing with their immediate
health, housing and educational
problems.
"In the field of education,
CORES troops seem to be con-
centrated solely at the top, in
the publicity department. I
have found no evidence that it's
official representatives are TAX
ing an active part in local eff
forts to learn more about neigh
borhood schools and their spec
ial problems and to provide con-
crete suggestions for improve
ment.
at may seem extraordinary
that an organization which lays
so heavy an emphasis on educa-
ton has not taken the trouble
to conduct a school visiting pro-
gram or solicit the views of
principals and teachers, yet this
is exactly the case of the West
Side.
perhaps this failure in the
field accounts for CORES pre-
occupation with balancing racial
percentages of pupil population
to the point where more urgent
educational needs are given nc
emphasis whatsoever"
Both Cogley and Lyford stress
the Importance of white anc
Negro Americans developing q
social relationship based or
brotherhood in addition to their
sharing the same rights and
privileges under law.
We have a problem of com
munity" to solve Cogley writes
What we are being required
to face, at this moment Of
truth, is whether we are read!
to share the good life of Amer
lea, not with those in far-of-
lands who are the objects O.
our cold war propaganda bu

Bishop BIomes
Church's Apathy
For Blast Deaths

A Washington Methodist
leader yesterday declared that
Birmingham's stark tragedy"
is evidence of "the heritage of
hatred and violence that the
white man continues to perpe-
trate against his brother in
America"
"Out of the depths, the white
man cries to God asking for
giveness," Bishop John Wesley
Lord declared.
The church bombing in
Birmingham and the resulting
deaths of four Negro girls.
Bishop Lord said. must "first
of all be seen as a reproach to
religion"
How does it happen" he
asked, that the will of God
is more apt to be made mani
fest in the mass demonstrations
of our day, the sit-ins and the
kneel-ins, the picket lines, than
in the comfortable and COM
placent pews and pulpitS of our
churches?"
The answer, Bishop Lord said,
is found in the failure of re-
ligious people to support re-
ligious principles"
He described Negro leader,
the Rev. DR.. Martin Luther
King, jr., as "the moral leader
of our Nation"
In conseling and practicing
non-violence, Bishop Lord said,
"the black man has demon
strated his moral and spiritual
superiority over his white
brother"

grave social ills that result in
such atrocities as the Birming-
