UNITY NEEDED
VOL. s, NO. as

This week another civil rights protest
march waS held in the city. 1t sUas organized
by the local unit Of the Congress of Racial
Equality (CORE). The publicity chairman
for the group Lester King announced its
purposes at a press conference.
There was no attempt made by CORE lead
evs to make concerted effort to get the SUP
port of other groups and citizens Who are
certainly inv0lUed in the same struggle for
Improving race re lati0nS in Phoenix and the
state.
No one doubts that all kinds of protest
measures are warranted, however, no one
group should believe that it can operate
alone.
IN this road to gain greater equality,
mhethev in the north or south, all Negroes
should be sought to give widey support and
meaning to any type Of program.
Let us not demonstrate merely for the
sake Of thinning some publicity for one single
group or idea.
Mayor Milton Graham has announced that
the city council Will haze the public accom-
na0dati0ns proposal ON its agenda 10it)hin the
nest tho weeks. 1t is hoped that some positive
actions uil be made with the cooperation Of
all.

DANCE
AGAIN TIME

nave OVSA ASAO6SA WAOA SSoeS
ments concerning the demoraliz-
ing aspects of "The Twist"
Friends and not 50 friendly per-
sons have made known their dis
like Of new dance, aptly named
1.-THE Twist"
Although there Is some doubt
HIM the historical development anc
the originator Of this dance. 1t
has stirred the country from
coast to coast--or rather should
! say from hip to hip. This tor
so gyration has caused more con-
versation than the native dance
viewed by Captain Cook on his
tour Of the South Seas several
years ago.
TMsters were once wavy do
nuts. Persons in the Midwest
knew Of tornados--by this name.
TMsters didn't get national or
International attention until sew
eral years ago.
Elvis Presley was drafted
and suddenly his kind Of body
movements we're adopted by sew
eral unknown singers and the
Twist was born.
Even in the hey-days Of his
"Blue Suede Shoes and Hound
Dog" Elvis the Pelvis did not
reach such astronomical proper
lions Of popularity.
He swooned thousands with his
sullen delivery Of tunes plus his
anatomical actions. but he wasn't
around when the wiring of the
wrist was supplanted by the thrust
Of the twisted ubias.
There's no reason to chang
ing partners. You must choose
a side in this battle. To twist
or not to tMst--that Is the ques-
ton.
For az many years 40 manhas
been able to communicate his
likes or dislikes-- something was
chosen or refuted. My grand
mother must have had to decide
whether to Turkey Trot'' or
"Minuet." Surely her Mother
was not happy when she went to
the weekend dancing nights and
performed mad trot.
No doubt sirens of old had to
use their individuality and end
the staid measures Of the courtly
waltz for a wilder polka. Who
can say that one dance Is more
immoral than another7
The hula Is a classic example
Of the problem. Hula dancing Is
an art in Hawaii. but its move
ments could cause a closedown
of a Liln St. Cyr revue.
The Tahitian hula Is known as
the whooping hula to end all hulas
but few eyebrows are raised when
dancers appear on bold Jour-
ney, via national television.
When Glenn orbited around out
earth he little realized that
within a short span Of time -
somewhere on this not SO celes-
tial globe - new and worldly
dance would be erupting.
Although haven't heard Of
it YETI am sure that beneath
the roofs from New Zealand to
New York--a new tempo is being
fitted to a new dance step. Time
may change its name from the
Shimmy. the Black Bottom, the
Apple Jack, the SLOUGH or the
Twist--but there will surely be
still on earth some pers ons who
will condemn 1t. In honor Of the
space men 1t might be called
the "Orbit Roll"
To be abs olutely sure Of learn
ing and promoting an accepted
dance--you had better join Arthur
Murrays group--l believe they

WILKINS URGES
KY. RIGHTS BILL

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Addressing
more than 1000 persons, NAACP
Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins
warned against a proposal to
delay introduction of a public
accommodations bill in the Ken
lucky State Legislature until
March 8, awaiting action by Con-
gress on the pending Federal
rights bill.
Gov. Edward T. Breathitt has
announced that he will put pub
lie accommodations bill before
the General Assembly by March
8 if Congress has not acted by
that time.
In his address here, Jan. 20,
the NAACP leader noted that the
Governor timetable would allow
only Is days before the close of
the legislative session. In such
an advent. the bill would be
caught in ga rat race and get
stomped to DEATH" Mr.. wilkins
urged immediate introduction Of
the bill and prompt action on it.
Turning to the national scene,
Mr.. wilkins noted that Louis
Vile Congressman. NJ. G. Sny-
der, had failed to include civil
rights among issues in public
opinion poll he is conducting In
his district.
''In his mind" the NAACP
leader said, "civil rights is not
an Issue. l hope you will re-
member Congressman Synder
come November. You just re-
member him even If they run a
chimpanzee against him. We know
where Congressman Snyder
stands, but we don't know what

A husband filing a separate
Federal income tax return for
1868 cannot claim his wife
5000 exemption If she had income
or was the dependent of another
taxpayer, George D. Patterson,
Director of Internal Revenue for
Arizona, said.
Husband and wife may file a
joint return even though one Of
them had no income or deductions
for the year. If the wife had In
come. they may either file a joint
return or separate returns. A
joint return must include the in
come Of both husband and wife.
If separate returns are filed,
neither may claim an exemption
for the other.
For example, suppose wife
earned $500 from which $50 in
come tax was withheld, If she
files a separate return to obtain
her $50 refund, the husband can
not list her as an exemption on
his return.
If husband and wife file sep
arate returns, both must use the
standard deduction, or both must
itemize their deductions. One
cannot itemize and the other use
the standard deduction.
