Hoffu Confident
Union To Win
Wage Increases

WASHINGTON (UPI)-Team-
sters' President James r. Hof-
ia has expressed confidence
that his union would win most
Of the $500 million worth Of
wage-benefit increases it seeks
from the trucking industry in a
new nationwide contract.
Hoffa said the demands he
outlined Wednesday we're not
unrealistic. He predicted the fl
nal settlement would be close
to the unions 9O-cent-an-hour
package proposal.
The controversial Transfers
chief declared he would not call
a national truck strike to en-
force the demands although he
left open the possibility Of "se-
lective" area strikes if the con-
tract talks become deadlocked.
Hoffa said that trucking firms
would have to raise their
freight rates to meet the I'M
ions demand for a three-year
contract providing average As

The 650-page book has been

Literary Guild Book Club. Ad-
vance installments have ap-
peared serially in a number of
major newspapers over the past

gave Eisenhower a measure of
financial independence. The
proceeds from that book went
toward purchase of his farm at
Gettysburg, Pa, the first home
he has owned after years OF
living on Army posts around

Eisenhower deals with the

A special part of the program

S. Walker, a native of P earl
River County. came to PaSca-

Church of Springhill, La. Oct.
%. 1858, as an interstate mis-
sionary of the churches of the
North American Baptist ASSocla-
ton to lead in the establishment
of the Woodlawn Baptist Church
on Old Mobile Highway in Pas
cagoula.
After some II months with
the WoodIawn church, he came
to help the Fairview Baptis
Church which was then with
out a pastor and the member
ship consisting Of a very S m al
group.
In the four years he has
served as pastor at FalrvleW
Church the membership h a
more than doubled, the church
financial budget has more thar
tripled, and building and i'm.
provements on the church's
plant has been in excess of S1O,'

all the cooperative endeavors Of
the Gulf Baptist Association, The
Mississippi Baptist Association
and the North American Bap'

Two and half years ago the
Fairview Church began a mis-
sion in Ocean Springs and sue
ceeded In getting another inter
station missionary, the Rev. G
C. Stockstill, to come and helE
them. This mission resulted il
the establishment of the Calvary

With fierce dogs fire hose and henchman, he cleared

More Active Participation

Urged By Dixie Minister

The danger of being complacent
about the Southern Negroes fight
for integration was wildly pointed
out last Saturday night by a par
ticipant in the recent Alabama rae

patton Proclamation Commemora-
ton dinner meeting in the Capp

Rev. Andrew ]. Young told an
overflowing audience that the
Minneapolis branch of the NAACP
must take a more active part in
the current fight for freedom than
just sponsoring a "$5 a plate din

ELECT WALDEN AND

Atlanta (ANP) - Atty. A. T.

Johnson have become the first Ne
groes ever to be named to the
Georgia Democratic executive COM
mittee.
Walden and Johnson were in
formed of their appointment in let
ters from State Democratic Chair
man ]. B. Fuqua last week.
They represent something of a
combination of old and new Negro
leadership which was given a place
on the committee for the first
time. Walden has been organizing
Democratic Negro voter groups for
at least two decades while John
son won his first public office las
state senator) last year.
Walden said of the appointment,
1T is a gratifying feeling"
He said the recognition means
there will be a further drift by
Negroes away from the RepubI-
can Party and into the Democratic
Party in the South.
Now II, Waldon had been a
lawyer for 40 years until he re-
tired in January, 1861. His selec-

someone was breaking into the

Kinchen, 80, inside putting on a

Kinchen was charged with

Protests over the beating of
Wells have been lodged with Chief
Of Police Pat Walling and Mayor

check closely the trial of Wells on
Friday to determine any action If
any is to be taken on the protests.
