Jail Mofron Finds
She Is A He

Tampa, Fla. CAMP - A police
matron had a shocking experience
searching supposedly female pris-
oner here recently.
However, patromen Elijah Dix
on and Willie Bexley were not fully
convinced about Williams sex;
even AFTER they had searched him
from the knee down" in the pad
dy wagon on the way to the jail
house.
His impersonation was perfect"
they said of Williams, who looked
every bit a woman in a green dress
and other female clothing.
Therefore, at the police station,
they called in the matron, who was
not identified, to probe further.
The matron started searching
and discovered to her dismay and
embarrassment THAT the prisoner
was definitely a male.
In City Court, Williams case
was continued until Nov. II. He
was released in 500 bond.

It's A Loud. Loud.
Loud Service

Forest, Miss. (ANP) - The Rev.
s. E. Pylant, pastor Of the First
United Pentecostal church here,
had this to say in defense of a
charge in city court that he was
guilty Of disturbing the peace" at
a revival service:
I'VE pray loud, sing loud and
worship loud"
In the complaint tt was charged
there was "stompdng of feet and
loud and unusual noises"
The minister was fined SIS in
city court by Mayor Fred Gaddis
who had to move his desk and
chair from the small courtroom in
the Masonic building to the lawn
outside because Of the huge crowd
attending the hearing.
Although the Rev. Mr.. Pylant
was named in the complaint, the
guest evangelist for the nightly
revival is Jimmy Jones Of Dallas,
Texas. At the hearing, Jones said
the church plans to construct a
brick building to replace the pre-
sent frame structure and equip 1t
with accustIcal tile. He explained
that the tile was to "deaden the
sounds" on both the outside and
inside of the building.
The Rev. Mr.. Pylant refused to
pay the fine and appealed his case
to Scott County Circuit court
which oonvenes this month. He
posted an appearance bond after
his arrest and was free on 500
bond pending action Of circuit
court.

but as reUoltingly racist. I reject
racists and racisn, whoever and

ious, as evidenced by the infamous
so-caIled White Citizens Councils.

the Black Muslims and Adam
Powell have done, a black form of

DR.. Bunche said some would look
upon him as a Northern busybody,
but he had come 10 Mississippi to
speak his mind as an American.
From that standpoint, he gave his
credo:
This is my country; my ances-
tors and I helped to build it. I say
my color has nothing 10 do with it.
I have a stake in this country and
am determined that I and my
children and their children will
cash in on it. I am determined to
fight therefore for what is mine.
II want no one - Malcolm x or
anyone else - to tell me to give up
this fight because equality is un-
attainable and 10 look elsewhere, in
some mythical, fanciful state of
black men, for my salvation. say
that is surrender and escapisn and
I want none of It,"
To those involved in the move
ment for racial equality, he added
an appeal for careful planning and
a warning against emotionahsm.
He thought the proposal that
Negroes boycott Christmas gift
buying was misguided and imprac-
tical. 1t would not help the Negro
cause to avoid buying toys for
children, particularly in stores
Btaffed by Negro clerks, he said.

Chicago School
Board Orders
RocioI Census

Chicago (ANSP) - The strife
torn Chicago Board of Education,
which in recent weeks has been
cold-shouldering demands by Ne
groes acceptance Of the resignation
Of controversial school Supt. Ben
jamin c. Willis, and for action to
end de faoto segregation in the
public schools, last week was
forced to bow to a state law, auth
ored by Negro legislator, calling
for racial census.
The census, the first in the city's
history, had long been demanded
by civil rights groups as a means
Of determining reported classrooms
space in white schools to which
Negro students could be trans
ferred to relieve overcrowding
willis, who resigned recently under
pressure but was being coaxed last
week by the board 10 reconsider
has consistently refused to reveal
such classroom data.
AS a result, Charles Armstrong,
"a Negro attorney and legislator,
sponsored legislation which was
passed by the last session Of the
Illinois General Assembly, calling
for a revision Of boundaries Of
schools throughout the state to
prevent segregation. One Of the
provision Of the law is that a rae
ial census of students in all the
schools be conducted.
Faced with this legal ultimatum
the Chicago school board recently
voted to comply with the law and
conduct the census.
Last week the board directed all
principals of Chicago public schools
to make a racial count Of their
students. The principals were to
conclude the census by Thursday,
Oct. 10.
Principals were asked to count
the number of Negro and white
students as well as Of those of
other racial groups and then re-
port the totals to the school ad-
ministration.
Milton ]. Cohler, associate school
superintendent for administration,
who issued the order to the prin-
cipals directed that no youngster
should be asked any questions
about race and the count should
be made solely on the basis of
teachers observations.
After the visual count was COM
pleted, each principal was to SUBJ
init more detailed report, show
ing a racial count for ecah grade.

leader, Malcolm X ana Congress
man A. Clayton Powell.
Bunche spoke here, as part of
United Nations Week ceremonies.
DR.. Bunche coupled his attack
against racial extremists with a
warning to moderates that token
appeasement of Negro demands for
civil rights would not suffice.
The Negroes eagerneSs for total
equality could lead to bitterness
and violence in which the whole
nation would be injured, he de-
ciared.
DR.. Brnche, the top American
on the United Nations staff and a
winner Of the Nobel Peace Prize,
spoke at the Tougaloo Southern
Christian College at Jackson. His
main theme was that the social
revolution Of integratton was in
the interests Of Negroes and
whites alike.
The day will come when Miss
isdppi and Alabama abandon their
racist views, he said, but even then,
some bitter-ender citizens of these
states the Barnetts and the
Wallaces- still be kicking and
bawling against the goth century
and the abandonment Of bigotry."
At another point, he expressed
amazement that Powell and others
had criticized the NAACP and
other groups advocating interracial
action.
II always find it difficult to un-
derStand how a Negro, like the
white supremacists, can espouse
separation Of the races, even for
different reasons" he declared,
continuing:
II regard Powell's attacks not
only as stupid and irresponsible

Shortage Of Trained
Clergy Called TrogedY
By Fisk President

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AlNP) - Ne
groes are stunning one profession
where there's no bar to their train
ing and where there Is a great
demand, Fisk university President
Stephen J. Wright said here last
week.
The lack Of an educated minis
try is "the tragedy" Of Negro
church life today, he said at St
Andrews Presbyterian church.
And the end of the tragedy Is
not yet In sight" said DR.. Wright
adding:
There are fewer than 500 young
Negro men enrolled in accredited
seminaries to provide the continu-
ing supply of educated ministers
for some $1,000 Negro churches.
This Is not nearly enough to re-
place those who die, who retire, or
who should retire"
DR.. Wright spoke at the church's
65th anniversary observance. He
made these remarks while Discus
sing the contribution an educated
ministry had made to the growth
Of St Andrews.
He also praised the church's first
minister, the Rev. Spencer Jack
son, who served 43 years in a min
istry that knew no bounds of de-
nomination, no limits Of time no
distinctions of class"
He said "the church has failed
to provide leadership" because it
has tolerated too much, excusing
almost every vice and, in the pro-
cess, taking out the heart and
vitality Of Jesus teachings"
He declared that any church
which denies membership to a per-
son because Of his race has no
idea Of its moral responsibilities.
Even our Negro churches have not
made 1t clear enough that they are
for all people"
If the church Is going to come
to grips with these issues, he said,
1t will do SO only by placing "the
teachings OF Jesus above every
thing else"

Lake Contaminated By Sea Water,
 Fuel Oil, Sewage

BARROW, Oct. 2 tSpciaD-The worst problem facing this village today is water.
 One of the primary lakes from which water is obtained, both by the villagers. and surrounding fed eral camps, including a nearby DEWline site, has been contaminat- ed by salt water, petroleum fuel and sewage.
 Another nearby lake is expected to freeze to the bottom shortly. as the middle of winter approaches. It will be possible for people to get ice from this lake, but the con- taminated lake will be out of com- mission for several years, health authorities warn.
 Means of solving this problem, critical even in normal times is now facing local and outside agencies.

 Many tourists will remember the wall. It was adorned with artifacts and included large moosehide with figures burned onto it. Another story making the rounds concerns widow in Barrow village proper, who, thinking her friends were out side her house to rescue her, told them to wait a minute while she gathered some things together.
 Waves Move House
 A sudden wave began to move the house, and as she looked out a window for her friends, realized they had departed long ago. She then dropped her things, stopped talking and ran outside. Shortly af- ter the house was demolished.
 She is reported to have told her friends later, that if she had known she was alone, she'd have left earlier.

Lowell May Ask Disaster Fund
 From Lawmakers

BARROW, Oct. 7-Special- The Barrow storm, serious as it was, may have only opened the door for another storm in January in the State Legislature.
 Don Lowell, state civil defense director, in meetings with another local state official here, said help would have to be faster in coming if the State of Alaska had a disas- ter fund. He noted that money for such fund had been proposed dur ing the past two sessions of the law making body, but it had been de- feated both times.
 Lowell was sitting next to State Senator and Barrow Council Leader Eben Hopson when he said this. As it is, federal, state and local agencies are attempting to bring re- lief as fast as possible.
 Because damage to state and com. munlty owner property, of which there is very little in Barrow, did not reach $25OOOO, the area cannot be declared disaster area for fed eral assistance" Lowell also said. However, independent agencies can act on their own, and are doing so, he added.

One of these comes from Tundra Times correspondent Guy Okakok, who was among those to lose his home and much of his possessions. Another is told by Tom Brewer, businessman, who lost the front wall of his building. A building that was first erected on Pt. Barrow as a whaling station in the 188Os and has withstood storms ever since until last week.
 The Okakok story goes thusly Guy and his wife left home for work early in the morning. leaving several children in the house.
 When the storm began to reach it's peak about a.m., neighbor mo- ticed the door of the house open ing, then shutting quickly as high seas pounded against the house. The neighbor, realizing somebody must be in the house, waited for a break in the storm, then ran over and found the children wanting to come out, but afraid to leave.
 Waves Fill House
 In her haste to get the children out of the house. as the storm was beginning to blow harder than ever, the neighbor left the door open. It was reported that the next few high waves then filled the house with water, and the resulting pressure knocked down two walls and part of the roof The rest of the house was demolished by wrecking crews for safety's sake the next day.
