AKA TO Study
Birch Society &
Black MuSIimS

Detroit, Mich. - A decade of
experimenting in community serv-
ice projects was proposed to 900
Negro women through leaders at
the 40th convention of Alpha Kap-
pa Alpha sorority here, Saturday,
as a means Of finding the most
effective role for a sisterhood Of
college graduates.
The proposal was included in the
report Of a year-long self-studying
that also directed attention to the
growing Black Muslin movement
that originated in Detroit in 1880;
the non-violent approach to great
er freedom for Negroes, and the
significance Of the John Birch Soc
ieties. New study Of the impact
of urbanization and chronological
advances upon Negroes was also
urged.
Approval Of the proposals was
expected in a secret ballot to be
announced Sunday.
The study was carried out by a
special commission headed by Mrs.
Beulah Whitby of Detroit, chair
man of the department of sociolo-
gy at Mercy College, and former
president of AKA. DIR. Cyril o.
Houle and DR.. Alexander Lveright
of Chicago assisted in the design
Of the study. The findings were
analyzed by DR.. Nan MCGEE, a
university Of Illinois psychologist.
Alpha Kappa Alpha is presently
engaged in programs Of communi-
ty service, scholarship, and medi-
cal research grants, carried out by
its chapters comprising college
graduates. 1t also maintains the
traditional campus sorority pro-
gram of financial aid, moral sup
port, and guidance among under
graduates.
It was proposed that future
members be recruited because of

Louisiund SegregatiOnist Urges Listeners
To Fight To Keep Jimcro. Worship God;
Get Rid Of Supreme Court And KennedYs


impassioned address in the num-
icipal auditorium here State Rep.
Wellborn Jack of Shreveport told
the Citizens Council of Greater
New Orleans, last week, that IF
people will just keep on fighting,
we can get our states rights, keep
our segregation, worship our God,
get rid of our Supreme Court and
get rid of those Kennedys."
Another speaker, Charles Barn.
ett, president Of the Citizens Coun-
Gil of Louisiana, attacked the Lou
isiana administration and implied
that Gov. Jimmie H. Davis was
traitor to the segregauonist cause.
Barnett said some people believe
that Davis name will go down in
history alongside the names Of
Martin Luther King and Booker T.
Washington"
He said he saw the drive for
Negro rights, what he labeled as
the "countrys condition" as part
of IAN international conspiracy"
A third speaker, George Single
mann, who is credited with origin
ating the reverse freedom rides"
expressed concern over tie defeat
of the entire slate of White Citi-
zens council candidates for the
Orleans parish school board.
Singlemann, a director of the
New Orleans Citizens council, said
about $4,000 Negroes voted in the
election and that not one of them
voted for the councils candidates.
He branded as false what he said
were great lengths" to which
newspapers have gone to explain
that the incumbents were elected
by the people"
Returns showed incumbents were
reelected to the school board,
Citizens Council-backed candidates
Rayon A. Stevens and James l.
Earhart were defeated.
Rep. Jack, like other segrega-
tionists upset over the forced ad-
mission of James H. Meredith at
the University of Mississippi, pre-
dicted at the time that the Negro
student would be killed.
He said he met people in Miss
issippi that are going to kill him"
as soon as there Is a chance.
Apparently fearful that he might
be later called upon to repeat his
remarks to officials Of the Federal
Government, Jack said he did not
remember the names Of the people.
"FBI men can come and ask me.
don't know the names E. I know
a lot Of things are going to happen
and I'm smart enough not to re-
member Names" he continued.
The Shreveport legislator, who
said he was with a group that
went to Mississippi when Meredith
was admitted, also predicted that
Meredith Is building up to leave"
the university.
Jack alleged that Meredith was
getting nervous, taking a lot Of
sleeping pills and finding the us.
marshals not very good tutors"
He said Meredith had not really
been integrated into the university
but was Just integrated with five
US. marshals."
The meetings principal speaker,
New Orleans businessman Pendle-
ton E. Lehde, described his find
ings on a recent trip to Africa. He
attacked United States aid to new
ly independent countries and urged
citizens to try to prevent the coun-
try from going into Bankruptcy
with such programs.
Lehde predicted gloomy futures
for many countries gaining inde-
pendence, saying their Negro in
habitants were not capable Of ad-
ministering their economics and
governments.

aren't rich"
A Negro, CASTOR says it's just
as easy for Negroes to make
money as for anybody else. IF
you have character and integrity
and can produce, you can be green
and still make money"
CASTOR, himself, started with $3S
saved from a laborer's job pay
ing 81 cents an hour - in 1928 and
began founding businesses to fill
needs. A small burial society grew
into the Booker r. Washington In
surance Company - now celebrat-
ing its 10th anniversary with as
sets Of more than IS million -
which in turn became the hub Of
a network OF businesses which are
worth more than 81 million more
than the insurance company's as
sets. They include the Citizens
Federal Savings and Loan Associ-
alton, the Booker T. Washington
Business College, the new Grace
Hill Cemetery, the A. G. CASTOR
Motel and Restaurant, the Smith
and CASTOR Funeral Homes, the
Vulcan Realty and Investment
Corporation, and Citizens Drug
Store, a Walgreen Agency.
Gaston's ten rules for making
money, which he sets forth in
Ebony, are:
PAY yourself first. Take yours
off the top. Pay yourself a salary.
Set aside a specific amount of
each paycheck as your money.
Take that money out first and
bank it. You'll be surprised how
fast the money builds up. If you
have two or three thousand dollars
in the bank, sooner or later some
body will come along and show you
how to double it. Money doesn't
spoil. 1t keeps.
2-Establsh a reputation at a
bank or savings and loan associa-
ton. Save at an established insti-
tuition and borrow there. Stay
away from loan sharks.
Stake no chances with your
money. Play the safe number, the
good one. Take your time. A man
who can't afford to lose has no
business gambling. When you can
afford to lose, you seldom do.
4-Never borrow anything that,
If forced to it, you can't pay.
5-Don't get big-headed. Never
forget the little fellows" That's
where the money Is. If you stick
with the little fellows" If you
give them your devotion, they'll
make you big.
6-Don't have so much pride.
Wear the same suit for a year or
two. It doesn't make any difference
what kind Of suit the pocket Is in,
II there Is money in the pocket.
Find a need and fulfill It.
Successful businesses are founded
on the needs Of the people. Once
in business, keep good books. Ev-
erything that goes in the cash
register doesn't belong to you. Also
hr1e the best people you can find.
Try to find a person who Is worth
more than you can afford to pay
and then pay him.
Stay in your own class. New
er run around with people you
can't afford to compete with.
s-once you get money or a
reputation for having money, which
is the same thing, people will give
you money.
10-Once you reach a certain
bracket, it is very difficult not to
make money.
