White businessmen and bank

Ed Townsend
Joins The
Scepter Records

New York - Although con-
tracted to Liberty records as
one Of their top stars, singer
Ed Townsend signed with
Scepter to produce records for
them at q fee rumored to be
$685. yearly.
Best known for his "For Your
Love" tune Of a few years ago,
Townsend is also recognized in
the music profession as one of
the best recording directors in
the business. His first session
for his new bosses included
Chuck Jackson who cut five
songs.
In his new job, Ed will work
closely with Scepter's lineup Of
artists that include Maxine
Brown, The Shirrelles and
Tommy Hunt. He will help
them select tunes, confer with
the arrangers and conduct the
band. Formerly based on the
West Coast, Townsend bought
a New Jersey home and will
work out of Scepter's office at
1850 Broadway.

Latest of the Macon racial
clashes came Wednesday night
! despite police efforts to main
tain order. About two hours af-
ter schools let out, a crowd of
almost equally divided whites &
Negroes, had gathered at the
park.
Police reported a white boy
threw a rock at a group of Ne

gan squaring off. Assistant
Police Chief J. F. Flynt said he
ordered all the youngsters from
the park, but said several fights
broke out before the area was
cleared.
Flynt said an assortment of
weapons was found in the park.
Several other fights also broke
out near the park but no injuries
were reported.

If extremists of both races

But this doesn't have to hap

First, the Administration

that it is doing irreparable

disconcerting for President
Nkrumah, who had been con-
templating stirring up trouble
for Mr.. Adoula at the United
Nations on account of his ap-
parent dependence on the
United States.
On the other hand the Togo
episode has not done Mon
rowan solidarity much good
either. Jaja Wachuku, the Nj
gerian Foreign Minister, whose
relations with Nkrumah are
characterized by a mutual lack
of esteem, summoned an emer-
gency meeting of the group to
Lagos with d view to agreeing
on joint diplomatic quaran-
timing of Mr.. Grunitzky until a
Pan-African commission had
investigated the Olympic muir
der on Togolese soil.
Before the Foreign Ministers
could reach Lagos, two of their
number had broken ranks and
established relations with Mr..
Grunitzky, and although the
latter agreed to allow the in
Vestigating commission to
function, it lapsed because only
three of its five members
turned up.
Throughout this phase of
loosening of alignments Accra
and Cairo have usually re-
manned in harmony.
This makes it all the more
striking that when Cairo hailed
the successful coups in Iraq
and Syria as victories for Arab
socialism, and while a new
lineup of liberated states"-
UAR, Syria, Iraq, Yemeni Re-
public, and Algeria-was COM
ing rapidly into being. Presi-
dent Nkrumah characterized
the Iraqi rising as the ultimate
example of neocolonialist in
trigue.
Taking his evidence from the
French magazine L'Express he
pictured the American Central
Intelligence Agency as the
author of the overthrow of
Maj. Gen. Abdul Karin Kas-
sem and the purge of Iraqi
Communists. complete with the
executions and public confess
sionS which swiftly followed it.

BY his militant diplomacy"
President Toure of Guinea has
been restoring his former po-
litical links with French-Speak-
ing leaders like Houphouet-
Bolgny of the Ivory Coast who
are prominent in the Mon
rovia group and the UAM.
Together these two have
fostered closing of the breach
between Senegal and Mali
which has existed since they
ceased to form one country,
the Mali Federation.
Presidents Senghor of Sene-
gal and Keita of Mali are lead
ing personalities in the Mon
rovia and Casablanca groups
respectively. Their personal
rivalry has helped to keep the
groups apart and their recon-
ciliation should help to blur
the edge between them.
The Olympic assassination
has in a sense helped in this
process of blurring distinc-
tionS. 1t could therefore have
the ultimate effect of making
the grand reconciliation scene
between Casablanca and Mon
rovia powers, scheduled for
the last week of May in Adds
Ababa more authentic.

recognize the Grunitzky gov
ernment or to keep it on proba-

Negroes - giving them the news and COM
ment and opinions which interpret the news
in the light of the hopes and aspirations and
problems closest the minds and hearts of the
new American Negro.
So much of this news and comment is
exclusive, appearing nowhere else, that the
local Negro newspaper fills vital need which
no general medium, and no other type of
Negro medium, can satisfy.
That's why the new Negro city-dweller
gladly pays for his own newspaper. He's
like the American tourist in London who,
though surrounded by British papers, hunts
up the European edition of an American
Newspaper to get his news.
Now it's easy for any business to reach
this Uncommon Market anywhere in the
state by advertising in the one Newspaper
that is read by Negroes throughout the
state.
After FL years of publication we are con-
fident of our service and the returns to our
advertisers. We gladly assist in public-re-
lations, sales promotion, and merchandising
for our advertisers.

THOUGHTS
 OF A AMMAN
The Test

A motley crowd was gath cred to witness a contest be- tween Baal and the eternal God of Elijah and the Bible. In vain the priests of Baal had spent a whole day call ing upon their God, even slashing their bodies with knives, but no answer came. Then as the afternoon shad- ows began to deepen on Mt. Carmel, Elijah prepared his sacrifice. The bullock was slain and placed on a stone altar. A trench was made around the altar. Water was poured on the sacrifice until it was soaked and the trench was filled. Elijah prayed earnestly and a blaze of fire descended from heaven, which consumed the bullock, the wet wood, the stones of the altar, and licked up the water in the trench, Al mighty God, the God of the Bible, was vindicated.

NOT BAD FOR COLLECTOR

A world Of changes have taken place in this country short span of 30 years.
 And one of them has 10 do with the relationship of the tax collector successful business enterprise.
 Take, for instance. the experience of a well-known oil company.
 In 1892 ii paid total taxes of $ 6 million. In the year paid its employees Sl3 million in wages and salaries, and its stockholders got $52 million in dWi dends The collector then. was low this totem pole.
 Thirty years sped by. And in loo2. employee com pensation S57 million; stockholders received $40 million; and taxes amounted to S34.5 million.
 so in just 30 years. payroll and dividend payments increased four times-Where taxes zoomed 2l times.
 This isn't the whole story. If the taxes the company required by law 10 withhold from its employees payeheeks. along with payroll taxes and the estimated income taxes stockholders paid on their dividends fg- ured at the minimum taxable rate of 20 per cent counted the bill reaches the $50 million level That works than three times the stockholders re- after taxes-and than the employees received after withholding and payroll deductions
 So-who comes out farthest ahead when company does good ob pleases army of customers, and makes money?
