An 87-year-old Washington
firm has provided the key to
the Capitol's lock problems.
There are many doors in
the Capitol Buildin g, and
some 200 of them were in
need Of new locks as part Of
the $12 million East Front ex-
panSiOn program, authorized
in 1855 and now completed.
The building supply firm Of
Barber & Ross, which has
been doing business with Uncle
Sam since Ulysses S. Grant
was In the White House, was
called In to consult with
Capitol Architect ]. George
Stewart about the problem Of
replacing the locks.
With the architects staff,
the research job began.
They discovered that the
architectural motif was to be
in two parts: The lower Sec
ton of the building, including
the old Senate and House din
ing areas dating back to 1850;
and the uppermoSt floor, as
modern as tomorrow, housing
the Joint Committee on Atomic
Energy offices.
And, of course, security was
a requisite of the job.
The experts soon found that
the doors of the Capitol pre-
Sented some unique problems,
varying greatly from present
day home construction meth
DDS. They found bronze doors
more than three feet wide and
eight feet tall. They found
other doors that must have
been designed about the time
Of President Lincoln, with
stovepipe hat and all in mind,
for they are nine feet high and
three and a half feet wide.
Other doors were two and a
half inches thick, half wood
and half metal.
From the musty confines Of
the sub-cellars to the airy
reaches of the modern top
floor, the experts surveyed
doors, doors and more doors.
Besides locks, they found that
door stops and door closers,
armor and kick plates, and
push and pulls spanning more
than a hundred years had to
be designed.

Marketing experts say Negroes
are usually more brand conscious
than whites. Brand has become a
sign of achievement among Ne
groes - a status symbol" says
William Capitman, president Of the
Center for Marketing Research,
Peeksl1ill, NY. Mr.. Capttman's
studies have shown that a higher
percentage Of Negroes than whites
own Cadillacs. A higher percent
age Of Negroes also drink Scotch
whisky, including the higher
priced brands. This fondness for
luxury cars and expensive liquor,
it's been suggested, may some
times reflect the Negroes unconsci-
Gus desire to find substitutes for
the white status symbols from
which he is often barred, such as
fashionable addresses and country
club memberships.
Some companies, Of course, have
given special attention to the Ne
gro market for years, often as
part of a broader program Of pro-
motfonal activity aimed at many
ethnic groups and neighborhoods.
While the field was once left large
ly to sellers of so-called Negro
products, such as hair straighten-
ers and skin lighteners, most of
the firms that have turned to the
Negro market in more recent years
are pushing their regular products.
Mr.. Howard estimates that the
portion of Negro radio advertis-
ing accounted for by Negro pro-
ducts" has drpoped from 90% to
about 1879 over the past decade
as more national advertisers have
added the Negro market to their
budgets.
P. Ballantine Sons, a Newark,
NJ, brewery, Is among the more
successful companies in the Ne
gro market. Ballantine has been
using Negro models in some Of its
advertising for more than 10 years.
The company has also been active
in Negro community affairs, spon-
soring civic dinners, providing
tournament trophies and holding
a largely Negro golf tournament
annually.
Ballantine considers such activ-
tiles a logical part of a neighbor-

ST. PETERS AME

Pastor and Mrs. Lowell Johnson
and children's vacation was con-
cluded Sunday morning, August
25, they were greeted with warm
welcome by members of the
church and friends.
The Youth choir provided the
music as usual on the fourth Sun
day, assisted by the Cantinos.
Miss AME Deb Lesly Harris one
of the soloist for the Youth choir
rendered the beautiful number
Jesus Said and Miss Sharon
Walker rendered "All That You
Need Is In Jesus" the choir joined
in the chorus. Mr.. Ronnie Wash
ington was soloist singing Hes
The Same" with the Cantinos in
the background. Miss Marlene AL
len directress. Mrs. Elise Lyle
orgaiist, and Miss Johnnie Patter-
son, pianist. Pastor Johnson COM
mended Mr.. Donald Johnson the
Youth choir director for his con-
Germ in the choir. Mr.. Johnson left
the hospital to direct the choir,
and said he would return to the
hospital on MONDAY.
Evangelist Pearl Pleas, and the
reading clerk, Mrs. Wreatha Max
well are back from their vacation.
Mr. Charles Allen. and the altar
boys, David Camp and Lowell
Johnson, Jr., were the pulpit as
sistants.
Just before the message Pastor
Johnson gave a summary of a let
ter he received from the National
Council of Churches. The letter
stated the purpose of the Freedom
March that will be held in Wash
ington, D. c. on August %, 1t
also stated that pastors Of all
churches should be a representa-
tive. The congregation was elated
at Pastor Johnson's decision to
represent st. Peters church. The
congregation joined the pastor in
singing the Freedom Song I'VE
Shall Over Come Some Day.
The text for the message was
taken from Micah 6-8. The theme
was Justice. Pastor johnson
admonished the listeners to beware
of little Foxes. We stray away
from God by inches. BY degrees
we become relaxed, and little by
little we find ourselves corrupt
and away from God. The Pastor
said Hear America. God wants
you to be just and merciful. God
has called you for noble deeds, to
be justly in employment, JUSTLY in
education, do away with quotas in
schools, and let equality and the
qualified have a chance. If God
can have mercy, how much more
should man have mercy? Man
should be just and walk humble
with God. II man practices dis
elimination because one is ignor-
ant, one can go to school and
learn. If because one Is dirty, one
can wash and become clean, but
if because ones skin is black then
one can do nothing. Therefore
man is questioning God.
The Appreciation Reception
held at 6 pm. in honor of Miss
ANfE Deb Lesly Harris was an
inspiration to the young people
as well as to the adults. Queen
Lesly was beautifully groomed in
long white gown with a shining
silver crown. Miss Shirley Hughes
gave a biography of the life Of
Queen Lesly and Miss Sharon

also worked with bi-racial COM
mittees on this matter of job op-
portunities.
Warren County is the setting for
another approach to the freedom
struggle. This is one Of the Black
Belt counties. 1t has been dubbed,
and not without some justifica-
ton, ''the Mississippi of North
Carolina. 1t is, without a doubt,
the center of hard core resistance
to desegregation in North Caro-
lima.
This was the spot selected by
the American Friends Service Com
mittee to set UP a work camp pro-
ject stressing Citizenship Educa-
ton. To this site came students,
black and white, from all sections
of the country and from Africa.
These students, though meeting
for the first time this summer,
have developed a communal life
built on fellowship and mutual
respect.
In teams they have gone into
churches of Vance, Franklin, and
Warren Counties to conduct classes
on vote-registraton, help with
Bible schools, and to set up pro-
grams of recreation. They have en-
gagged in such manual activities as
painting, cleaning, etc. It Is the
philosophy of this project that
awareness and an appreciation of
the privileges and responsibilities
Of citizenship is one approach to
the freedom struggle.
The sincerity Of these students
has caused the Negro communities
of the area to take them to heart.
Typical is Miss Bronnie Baird, a
white college student from Eden,
New York, and Ronald MasuI1u
and African student attending
Rochester university in Rochester,
NY. They put their bodies and
souls into every project - vaca-
ton Bible schools, citizenship
classes, community recreation-to
show they are interested in the
advancement of all citizens.
All of these students have been
living together in rented quarters.
The project will continue to the
last of August. 1t, no doubt, will
prove a profitable experience to
both the students and to the peo-
pie with whom they are working.

Radio Station FIuiIs Meuny,
Other Labor Leaders To
Support Wushinqfon "Murch

New York (ANP) - Radio
Station WMCA here, in an editor
ial broadcast, certain labor groups
and leaders to task for failing to
support the civil rights March
on Washington, Aug. %.
Said WMCA in the editorial let
ter released prior to the march:
Mass demonstrations, picketing,
sit-ins and similar instruments Of
social protest were not invented
by the Negro civil rights move
ment.
They were in fact invented by
organized labor over its long his
tory in the struggle for the rights
of workingmen.
80 it's hard to justify the at
titude of some of our nations big
gest labor unions during the strug-
gle for equal rights of all Amer
leans.
Eighteen out of 20 members in
the AFL-CIO executive council,
for example, voted last week to
take no part in the national march
on Washington in support Of the
civil rights bill.
"AFL CIO President George
Meany apparently fears the march
might offend sensitive types (of
lawmakers) on Capitol Hill.
But WNGCA wonders whether
big labor would exist at all if its
early organizers had followed the
kind of leaning-back tactics now
recommended to the American
Negro in his struggle for basic
human rights"
St. Paul recorder., 1963-08-29

demonstrations ana Violation OF
city ordinances.
In Williamson, the leaders OF
demonstrations and picketing have
taken their case to court against
a tough anti-demonstration ordin-
ance.
In Thomasville, the Rev. w. E.
Banks, through whose church
someone fired a shot while a NAA-
CP meeting was in session, has
vowed ito demonstrate 1856 days
a year" if the demands of the
demonstrators are not met.
In Asheboro four white youths,
following a car of Negroes, were
peppered with buckshot.
And in Raleigh - though hav-
ing a high percentage of desegre-
cation - young people are still
picketing some of the strong bas-
tons of segregation.
Taking the revolution to the
streets is not the only approach
being followed in the Tar Heel
state. Leaders have recognized the
need for a diversified approach.
1t was Gov. Terry Sanford him
self who introduced the idea Of a
state council. The original plan
called for a council Of "a members.
So far, 20 of the "a seats have
been filled. The present council is
made up Of 10 Negroes and 10
whites.
Some excerpts from a speech
given January 16, 1888 by the
Governor explain the purpose and
significance of the council.
THE Council will have a two
fold mission: ~ to encourage en-
ployment of qualified people with
out regard to race, and (2) to urge
youth to become better trained and
qualified for employment.
The speech went on to ask state
agencies, departments and insti-
tutions, church leaders, and civic
organizations to cooperate in the
efforts of the Council.
Then, said the governor: The
time has come for American cih-
zens to quit unfair discrimin-
ations, and to give the Negro a
fun chance to earn a decent living
for his family and to contribute to
higher standards for himself and
all men,"
Speaking before the first meet
ing of the Council, July 8, 1858,
the governor said:
There will not be any dtScrim-
ination in state jobs. Such discrim-
ination is both unconstitutional and
undemocratic. Negroes are invited
10 apply, just as all other citizens.
Personnel Officer, and their ap-
plications will be judged solely on
merit and ability"

Council seven months ago, the
organization has assisted in the
