Rev. Galamison said all picket

“In the first place Dr. Gross
broke a promise he made us last

“We see he didn’t do this, Mon

Rev. Galamison said that the

— "It appears quite obvious
that the only reason Dr. Gross
was selected as the new Super

to put the skids under any
further efforts to desegregate
New York City schools. And he
has performed his duties to the

Buy toys for the child, not for
yourself, -toy manufacturers say.
Elliot Handler, president of a
leading toy firm has this to say:
"Toys are a child's world, a
private little existence in which
parents or other adults are often
unwelcome. If a toy must be op
erated by a parent, it loses con
siderable play value to the child.
His imaginary play world will
lose much of its appeal if a par
ent mpst be on hand constantly
to spell out the rules and instruc
tions, or to set it up.
“Toys are fun, but the right
toy is even more fun, and just
as easy to choose ’’
Practically everyone knowsthat
the notation "B.C.” following
dates means "before Christ.”
How about ”A.D.’? This notation
means "in the year of our Lord”

years of his reign in 879.

Proper Toys
The fact you wanted a certain
toy when you were a child is no
indication your child would like
to have one for Christmas. He
might just as soon play with the
box and the wrappings.
Toys are for children. They
represent wasted money if the
child has no interest in them, if
they are too “old” for the child,
or so complicated only an older
child or an adult can manipu
late them.

For Big One
Slaying After 5 Yrs
At The Top
' By GEORGE BARNER
e It was a cold day oo Dec. 18. t
1958, when one of two stickup
men killed 60-year-old whole
saler Charles Haas as he made
a delivery to a grocery store at
143 W. 115th St.
The day was cold and the
trial was colder. The killers got’
away clean with their $59 haul.
Detective Tom Twomey of the
W. 123rd St. station was certain
it* had been a dope-connected
slaying but. after all leads were
tr)ed. the investigators wound up
where they started—with a
corpse and no killer.
And so the ease slipped into
a, kind of suspended animation
where the cops set all the rou
tine wheels in motion and waitedi
for the normal course of ted
ious and unspectacular police
work to take effect. They waited
and waited—and they never
closed the file.
4.0M Miles Away
Last week, 12 days short of
five years, the break came—
from 4,000 miles away in Los
Angeles where West Coast police
had picked up a man named
Walter Lee Harvin for quizzing
in the murder of a Washington,
D.C. cah driver.________
Paul B. Zuber. who announced
his candidacy for President of
the United States in the 1964
elections last month, this wOek
termed his candidacy as a “cam
paign against hate and bigotry"
which he said “are as devastat
ing as the atomic bomb."
Attacking his opponents in the
race, Mr. Zuber 6aid he had
entered the campaign because
certain announced candidates
were “intentionally evading the
issue of equal rights for Ne
groes.” and now they have called
a moratorium in memory of the
late President Kennedy.
"Even in this most trying mo
ment. I feel that they cannot
be honest and admit that their
campaign was a personal ven
detta such that now they find
that they have no positive issue
to offer and discuss with- the
people of the country,”'Zuber as
serted.

rights attorney who has won sev

HE HAD CHANGED — After
five years, John Pierce is a
fugitive no more,- following his
arrest last week in connection
in a 1958 holdup-slaying.

two children; and an utterly
changed man—he had kicked the
dope habit without help and set
up as an unordained preacher
tlo-inveigh on street corners
against its curse to youngsters.
But the burden of the cold
December night had weighed on
his' conscience for five years.
“Fve lived a clean life stpee,
then,” he said, “but I want to
get this off my chest.”
Held without bail in Manhat
tan Criminal Court, he will be
given a hearing there on Dec.
19. The file is closed now, the
cops said.

Uptowners Oppose
Sewerage Plant Switch
Residents and civic leaders on
Harlem's West Side are planning
to turn out in large numbers to
protest against the city’s plan to
build an $118,000,000 sewerage
disposal plant on the Hudson
River, between 137th and 145th.
The plan is to be aired at the
City Planning Commission hear
ing on Dec. 18 when several
prominent community officials
have Indicated they will oppose
the allocation of $20,000 to get the
plant underway.
The 13th A.D., Assemblyman
said that the plant was to have
bfren originally built in the West
70’s where it would have been
cheaper because there were Nto
docks to knock down and so forth.
A spokesman for the City Plan
ning Commission said that at the
public hearing on the proposed
plant on March 28, 1962, oo the
substitution of the Harlem site in
place of the Lincoln area, there
were no uptown residents in op
position to it.
Mrs. Margaret Cox, recently -
elected leader of the Fort Well
ington ManhattanviHe R'.-fonn
Democratic Club, 3586 Broadway,
said her Hub has already start
ed a petition drive against the
plant.
,
City Councilman J. Raymond
Jones said be was opposed to
the plant and indicated that his
Carver Democratic Club would
have representation at the hear
ings to oppose the plant.
Downgrade Area
Assemblyman Orest V. Mares-
ca, who is also expected to op
pose the plant, said: "Now they’re
trying to downgrade our West
Harlem area that we’ve been try
ing to pull up by its bootstraps.”
He also indicated that the plant
would be far enough away from
the residential area as to offer
no hazard and would be no eye
sore to the community.

Fluoridation
Harlem’s two major local
public officials, Manhattan Bor
ough President Edward R. Dud
ley and Councilman J. Raymond
Jones this week indicated they
would support the Mayor and
vote for approval of the contro
versial proposal to fluoridate the
city’s water supply.
Dudley’, returning from a Trini
dad vacation, was expected to
join with the Mayor and vote ap
proval at a meeting of the Board
of Estimate on Thursday.
Earlier this week Councilman
Jones, who had indicated he had
an open mind on the subject,
said a poll in his district showed
that the citftens approved fluori
dation by a 7-2 margin, and he
would vote for approval at the
Council meeting on Dec. 17.

Harry’s Christmas
HARRY ADAMS had always the chance at the money, but he
believed in taking the things he
wanted in life. On more than':
one occasion, it had cost him; so
many times, in fact, that he fig
ured about half his lifetime had
been spent behind bars, more
counting foster homes.
Getting caught was just an oc-j
cupational hazard a* far as Har-I
ry was concerned. If -the State
wanted to house and feed him for
a few more years, well, it beat
working for a living.
Harry was hungry at the mo
ment. He stopped in front of the
Minit Cafe, hands in pockets,
idly fingering the last dollar bill
he ow:ned.
A crudely - lettered sign in the
window read:
Christmas Special
Turkey
Potatoes-Gravy
75 cents
Harry looked inslide. Only a
cook and one waitress, both old
and harmless. He could go in, or-!
der a meal, wait till he was,
ready and then get himself some
Christmas spending money. He
felt his coat pocket. The gun
w as still there. Tt wasn’t much of:
a gun. Probably wouldn’t even
fire. But the sight of a gun did
things to most people — made
them do whatever you told them, i
Harry was on his second cup of
coffee when the woman closed
the door behind the cook, pulled|
down the shade and put a “Clos
ed" sign in the window. This is
too easy, he thought to himself.
Well, no need to rush it now

Never drive when overtired. Keep
a window open when the automo
bile is in motion. Car heaters
keep you warm, but they can al
so make you dangerously drow

Fight "festivity fatigue" with
coffee. Take frequent coffee
breaks on long motor trips.
Talk with others in the car. If
alone, turp on the radio. Monot

gasoline make a lethal mixture.
Gift Buying Service
Does Complete Job
Ordinary gift certificates are
seldom used as business gifts. In
recent years, however, something
pretty close to a gift certificate
has achieved popularity on the
business front.
This innovation has been
brought about by the selective
gift company—a holiday gift buy
ing service for business and in
dustry. ~ t
Mo^ of them operate in the
same manner The gift buyer
simply decides how many pres
entations he wants in each price
range and the selective gift com
pany does the rest—purchasing,
gift wrapping, and mailing.
The innovation is a elective
gif: p-:>sMrtrtic3, Tt is-a persona -

The giver sends the booklet; the
recipient sends the appropriate
card to the gift service to receive
the gift of his choice.

Big Tree
The largest Christmas tree ever
lighted is believril to have been
364 feet tall. It is located in
California's redwood forest and
was first decorated in Decem
ber. 1945.
Old Beli«f
Gypsies believe that holly, ivy
and pine were made evergreen
in reward for helping screen the
birth of Christ from view.
The gypsies used ash for their
campfires and were told by their
eiders that the ash was black
balled from the evergreen list
because it had no part in thdS
hiding of the Christ child.
Signs Of Christmas
It's almost Christmas.
Ask anyobdy. Ask the housewife, dashing about in the
kitchen, cooking up plenty of food and goodies for all the
“company" that is expected.
Ask the average father. Christmas is practically here
and he has done very little (or none at all) of his gift buy
ing. He’s been visualizing the total cost of all the other pack-i
ages that have been brought Into the house and wonders If
;
he won’t have to find a place to hide come January 1.
Ask the children. They are "wound up" tight as'an
eight-day clock and it seems to them Christmas "will never
get here.” ,
•
Ask anybody. They'll tell you Christmas is almost here.'
Regardless of whether all preparations are made, all cards
addressed or mailed, or whatever, Just ask anyobdy . .. and
you’ll know.
Ask anybody. They’ll tell you why Christmas Is almost
here. It’s a .feeling that comes to virtually everyone at this
time of year. It is difficult to describe accurately, but It Is
a mixture of Joy and warmth, of happiness and friendship.
Let’s Just call It the Christmas spirit — and hope that it
is shared by all men, everywhere.
Your Christmas Tree
Is A Personal Thing
The style of Christmas tree se
lected and the manner in which
tt Is to be lighted and trimmed is
as personal *k the clothes one,
wears. Through the years, nu-!
merous ways of decorating and!
lighting the indoor Christmas tree'
have been tried as well as a'
variety of colors and materials:
for trees.
Aluminum trees, that may be
used year- aCer year, have ben
around for several years. Yet,
the tpditional natural evergreen
continues to be the favorite
Even In these modern times, fa-1
vorlte decorations are those so'
popular in "the old days’’-mul-|
ti-coiored lights, colored orna
ments, Icicles, drape* of tinsel
and scenes under the tree.

If the United States is to sur

great nations from the stage of
history, it must undergo a “mor

major philanthropic organization
said Tuesday.
’’Societies decay because they
fail to stimulate the process of

sident of the Carnegie Corpora
tion of New York and of the Car
negie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching told more
than 1.800 persons who attended
the annual luncheon of the Salva
tion Arny Association of New
York at the Hilton Hotel.
8 Ways
Gardner listed eight ways by
which the nation could renew it
self by developing and "motivat
ing the Individual.” stamping out
bigotry, encouraging "criticism,
dissention and innovation,”
smashing tradition and "vested
nterest” and destroying apathy.

Consumers Conference Hears Minority Beefs
By JAMES BOOKER
And LES MATTHEWS
An all-day conference on con
sumer protection for minority
groups ended late Saturday with
the Commission on Human Rights
appointing a nine-member com
mittee to establish a continuing
committee on consumer needs
“We wjnt to serve as a cata
lyst because of the growing num
ber of consumer complaints, but
we need and must have volun
teer groups In this campaign,”
Madison S. Jones, executive di
rector of the City Commission
on Human Rights declared in
keynoting the conference.
L. Joseph Overton, business
agent for Local 338, highlighted
the conference in an opening ad
dress as he praised some mer
chants for participating In com
munity improvements, but as
serted that “many others are rob
bing the consumer.”
Inferior merchandise is sold
in low income and underprivil
eged neighborhoods and at the
same prices as better quality
goods in other neighborhoods. In
some chains identical merchan
dise is sold at higher prices in
low -income neighborhoods than
in middle - income neighbor
hoods,” Overton declared in ad
dressing some 75 persons from
consumer groups and private cit
izens.
Miss Marta Villanueva said
that despite laws regulating con
sumer credit, many merchants
are victimizing Spanish-speaking
families, who are often encour
aged to overextend their credit
so merchants can profit by re
possession. She also strongly at
tacked door-to-door
techniques.

of the Metropolitan Consumer
Council, and Barnett Levy, of

battle developed when Overton
charged that many consumers
have lost faith with the various
city and state agencies.
' Overton also charged that ma
ny merchants say: “Why throw

with a bad hip, arthritis, my eyes

was doing my house work and
feeling better everyday. I thank

given me.

-IT’S THE HOLIDAY-SEASON, so what would be
more appropriate than to go out and buy yourself a
Christmas record. There is an abundance of these
disks, such as Andy Williams’ “White Christmas”,
Brook Benton’s “You’re AU I Want For Christmas”,
Johnny Mathis’ “Sound of Christmas” and “Merry
Christmas” and, of course, there’s Nat King Cole’s
“Christmas Song”.
IF YOU’RE STILL NOT satisfied, you have your
pick of Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” and Robert
Goulet’s “This Christmas I Spend With You” and even -
Elvis Presley’s “Elvis’ Christmas Album”. And there
are still more, such as “Merry Christmas From Jackie
Wilson”, “Gee Whiz, It’s Christmas” by Carla Thomas
and last, but not least, Lloyd Price’s “Merry Christ
mas Mama”. So have a happy.

They’re getting better all the time, so make sure
you are on hand early for our next Monday Night
Get-together on Dec. 16 at the Baby Grand. Frieda
Harris of the Fantasia will be the hostess.
At Joe Wells' plush nitery we clicked for $75.50
which boomed the current Camp Fund total to
$1,240.70. Contributors were led by Joe Wells and Lin-
nette Phillips who weighed in with five apiece. Other
faithful supporters gave three, among them: Ray
Arrington, of the Night Cap; George Krulik, Baby
Grand; Ralph Bastone, Palm Cafe; Selbra Hayes,
Midway Lounge; and representatives of the La
Famille.
Cutty Sark, fifths of which were numbered among
our usual weekly door-prizes, will delight the palates
of Clarence Ulrich, Michael Agnew Scott and Beatrice
Hopkins. Phil Gordon won the Canadian Club and
Evelyn Davis took down the Seagram's VO as the
Seagram’s Gin fell into the avid grasp of Minnie
Smart. Blanche Conyers, Lela Johnson and Harold J.
Cromer had some of their holiday gift-giving problems
solved when their prizes turned out to be sets of Cana
dian Club cocktail ware.
Birthday Party
Dorothy Crawford’s swingin’ birthday was a real
romp done up in swell fashion at Hilda’s 19th Hole.
You missed a goodie if you weren’t there.
We’re continuing to get so many kind comments
from readers on our tribute to Mrs. R. T. (Ma) Kline i
that we can’t possibly answer them all. Permit us, j
though, to thank all of you deeply, knowing you share
our feeling for this wonderful person. Among the notes
we’ve received have been those from Dorine Jennings,'
Mildred Chou and Sterling R. Taylor. And Ma, her
self, sent us a warm letter of thanks which will be
one of our keep-sakes *

The alert and forward looking management of
Smalls’ Paradise went all out to provide top level
night club entertainment on a nightly basis but the
public failed to respond sufficiently. Even so, they’re
still providing the tops in Harlem weekend divertise-
ment with two fine bands and dancing on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. 3
This week go see Willie Jackson and Lester Young
at Smalls’ Paradise — which may yet replace the
legendary Savoy as Harlem’s Home of the Happy
Feet. Hats off, fellows! You gave and still are giving
it the old college try.
AN OLD, OLD SONG - But
still in tune, is the melody of

Preston Cobb, Jr., who was
15 years old at the time he was
charged with the crime, was
granted his fourth stay Decem

an appeal from a decision by
U. S. District Judge Frank M.

Forgotten Heroes
Herman Sweat! Still
In Thick Of Things
By JAMES BOOKER
(First of a Series on Forgotten Heroes)
ATLANTA, Ga. — Thirteen years ago Herman
Marion Sweatt, a Houston mail carrier, received
historic news that the United States Supreme Court
had just ordered his admission to the University of
Texiis Law School, ending his four-year fight to gain
entrance as the first Negro in the state’s previously
all-white colleges.
Today, in his offices her*,
Herman Sweatt, now 50, is still
in the midst of the desegregation
struggle, but this time he is
helping to lead the fight for total
desegregation of the South’s larg
est city.
Presently the Associate Direct
or of the National Urban League’s
Southern Regional office here,
Sweatt predicted to the Amster
dam News that this city will end
racial barriers within a year.
Unlike many of the “forgotten
heroes’’ in the Southern civil
rights struggle, Sweatt has re
mained in the thick of things
since the U.S. Supreme Cofirt
issued its strtfhg denouaeiatien
of the old “separate but equal”
doctrine and ordered him admit
ted to the Texas law school in
1950.

technical training after complet

tion.

He stayed at the school for
two years, and later switched
to Atlanta University where he
received a masters degree in so
cial work. Sweatt then moved
to work with the Cleveland
NAACP, and transferred to the
Cleveland Urban League where
he worked for six years before
joining the League here in 1961.
Recalling his feelings since he
was a Houston, Tex. mailman,
Sweatt wants to remain in the

Both in the telegram to the

"Color Blind," Says Myrdal
my son-in-law were aNegro. I
am colorblind on the question
of race, and besides, I think it
is a phony question,” Myrdal
answered.
Famed Swedish social scient
ist Gunnar Myrdal says he is
racially “color hlind”and would
have been equally as happy as
he is now with his son-in-law
if his daughter had married a
Negro.
In New York last week to
participate in a seminar at the
American Jewish Committee's
offices. Dr. Myrdal, whose book,
"An American Dilemma, The
Negro Problem and Modern De

study of the race question, was
asked the question at a press
conference by the Amsterdam

agains the Association in the
Superior Court, in Bridgeport, to
gain possession of the property
in question, charging racial dis
crimination. They sought a tem
porary injunction' to prevent the
Association from selling the
property to anyone else. This
the Court denied.
They also sought a mandatory
injunction compelling the Asso
ciation to sell the property to
them, along with $10,000 in
damages. This latter action never
came to trial, but was still
pending when the issue was
settled.
The Village Creek Home Own
ers Association’s recent decision
to sell the disputed property to
the Vaughts was made, accord
ing to its .president, Rudolph
llenfrow, "because the racial
composition of that section of
the community changed sub
stantially during the past two
years.
“Our Real Estate Committee
succeeded in obtaining white buy
ers for several properties placed
on the market by Negro owners,
and there is no longer any
danger that an all-Negro section
of the community will develop.”
NORWALK. Conn. — A novel
case of alleged discrimination by
cooperative residential com
munity trying to maintain its
interracial character was
brought to an end here last week
after protracted controversy
and litigation, by the voluntary
sale of a residential property
to the Negro family to whom
it was denied two years ago.
The issue centered in the
“Village Creek” dvelopment in
South Norwalk, on Long Island
9ound. Established fourteen
years ago as an avowedly in
terracial community, Village
Creek now includes 60 homes,
ranging in market value from
20,000 to $45,000, approximately
one-third of which are owned
by Negroes.
The Village Creek Home
Owners Association, which in
cludes all owners, enjoys an op
tion, by covenant, to purchase
any home in the development
which is placed on the market,
at the bona fide sale price agreed
upon by the owner and the pur
chaser.
Exercise Option
When in August, 1961, a re
sident of the community agreed
to sell his home for $21,000 to
the Charles Vaught family of
New York City, the Village
Creek Home Owners Association
exercised its option and pur
chased the home, which has
since been rented to a white
family.

She Finds Out Just What WPA To Aid
People Are Interested In Jobless
Mayor Robert Wagner last
week zmlled for a national works
j program, fashioned after the
WPA of the 1930's, to help meet
the«^allenge of the present hard
core unemployment which is ser
iously affecting Negroes and
Puerto Ricans.
Speaking at a conference on
automation, education and collec
tive bargaining in San Juan,|
Puerto Rico, the Mayor hailed
present plans for a Youth Corps
and a Domestic Peace Corps, but
said they would be no substitute
for major works programs simi
lar to the WPA.
The Mayor said the present
unemployment picture "is even
more serious in proportion to
the earlier one and promises to
grow progressively worse. Today
many of our unemployed youth
! feel what the sociologists call
r’ienated.” Wagner declared.

personal questionnaires of 422.

The survey showed that cancer
and diseases of the heart and

Mayor Says Council
Impairs Rights Plan
By CONRAD CLARK
NEWARK, N.J. - The City
Council was accused on Tuesday
by Mayor Hugh Addonizio of this
city of hampering his efforts to
solve the community’s civil rights
program.
The Mayor made his charge be
fore 30 Presbyterian clergymen
after they had made a day-long
tour of the city’s schools and
housing projects with an eye to
studying questions of racial equal
ity.
The Mayor also complained
that the Council had refused to
allocate $15,000 yearly to hire an
executive director of the city’s
Human Rights Commisison.
Says It’s Necessary
6aying that this sum or more
was necessary in order to attract
a competent director, and that he
was constantly working on a pro
gram that would advance civil
rights, he added that the Council
was holding him back at every
steji.
“If you want to help in this
field," he told the clergymen,
"come down to the Council. See
what they’re „oing. I’m always
getting the finger pointed at me,
but the council appropriates the
funds.”
In regards to the Job with the
rights commission, the Mayor
said he had wanted to hire James
A. Pawley, executive director of
the Essex County Urban League,
but that Pawley had delcined
when the Council refused to allow
the $15,000 salary.
Danile S. Anthony formerly
the post at a salary of $0,800 per
year, recently resigned In a dis
agreement over policy.
Earlier, Pawley and Louis Dan
zig, executive director of the
Newark Housing Authority, met
with the ministers in the State Of
fice Building where Pawley out
lined the Urban League’s func
tions, citing the promotion of ra
cial equality in all areas of so
ciety, as the organization’s chief
aim.

The Kings County Grand Jur
ors Association has strongly urged
the retention of Kings County
Supreme Court Justice Samuel S.
Leibowitz.
The recommendation came in a
letter released by the Associa
tion which it had sent to Justice
Charles S. Desmond, chairman
of the Administrative Board of
the Judicial Conference of the
State of New York.
The leffer was signed by Louis
Currey, president of the organiza
tion.
The letter read;/
“The Executive Committee of
the Kings County Grand Jurors’
Association has directed me, in
my capacity as president of the
organization, to convey to you
their wholehearted recommenda
tion that the term of Supreme
Court Justice Samuel S. Leibo
witz be extended beyond Decem
ber 31, 1963.
“I quote in part from the test
imonial presented to Judge Leibo
witz by our organisation on Octo
ber 15th, 1959.
'Since 1941 Judge Leibowitz has
served on our Kings County Court
Bench with exceptional merit.
He has been unflinchingly stern
with hardened criminals, yet al
ways his judgements have been
merciful and just. His honesty,
his fairness, his forthright man
ner combined with his fine legal
mind, as well as constant devo
tion to duty in the people’s Int
erest, warrant the declaim of all
law-abiding citizens.’
“We strongly recommend, in
view of the outstanding record
of Judge Leibowitz, both on the
County Court as well as on the
Supreme Court bench, that his
term be extended by the Judicial
Conference.”
Mr. Currey, in a separate state
ment, said:
“I think a very honorable and
memorable deed was done when
Judge Leibowitz became the first
to appoint a Negro as the fore
man of one of the Kings County
Grand Juries, almost 20 years
ago (Herman T. Miller, foreman
of the January, 1944 Grand Jury,
Kings County).

his congregation, the Queen s

Merrill Park Civic Association.
He spoke in favor of the Prince

On behalf of the NAACP State

had jumped from 989 In 1960 to

He warned that too many
white families tend to run when
the non-white population goes up

And at last the right will win.

Shameful Statement
Sir: With regard to Mr. Jackie
Robinson column in the recent
issue of the Amsterdam News
about Minister Malcolm X., Mr.
Robinson should be ashamed of
him^'.Lt* for making a statement
like that about a man of God.
Minister Malcolm is always on
the go for Mr. Muhammad, and
lifting Negroes out «f the mire.
That is one thing I don’t see
Mr. Robinson and Gregory doing,
or Bunche who went 900 miles
to give the Jews a home on the
black man land. But over here
he is too afraid to open his
mouth In behalf of his own kind
This includes the rest of Charle’s

mad have done more to help the
Negro In one year than all the
gospel men did in a hundred
years.
A tree is known by the fruit
it bears and these r>called lead
ers bear some very rotten fruit.
If you don’t want to help Mr.
Muhammad in his work keep
your big mouth shut, because
you’re making a lot of noise and
saying nothing.
When the final day comes we
will see who is right. You haven't
seen anything yet, wait until
Charlie starts getting rid of you,
then you leaders can see Muham

Congress Is asking for a raise
Let the Congressmen have their
raise in pay, but let the con
gressmen work for their wages
tet *hem make sure that they
serve all of the people in the
United States through legislation
designed to grant equal liberty
dignity and justice for all. Civi
Liberties is the issue. The right
to vote. The right to public ac
commodations without prejudice
The right to marry on the basis
of love, not race. The right to
swift redress when discriminatec
against in any area where free
dom as a citizen has been abridg
ed.
Let not Congress be swayed by
the psychotic Wallaces, the mor
onic Trumans, the sick and God
less people who will not do unto
others as they themselves would
want others to do unto them. Let
Congress do a Job.. Then the de

Many familiar household clean
ing agents can be deadly if
swallowed. The Department of
Health recommends that the fd
lowing items be kept on a high
shelf, well out ot reach of in
fants and young children:
bleaches, cleaning fluids, disls
fectants. waxes and polishes
ammonia and caustic soda, rat
and mouse poison, roach paste
and other insecticides.
Diabetes
Defection
The Diabetes Detection Pro
gram of the Department is
directed at finding tiie estimated
65,000 New Yorkers who have
diabetes and don’t know it.
The Department gives free
diabetes tests to city residents
who are 25 years of age or older,
at Health Centers in the five
borough*. Younger people may be
tested where there is a history
of diabetes in the family.
If the tests disclose anything
unusual, an individual is referred
to his own physician for further
examination and treatment, if
needed. Tests are by appointment
only. In Manhattan, phone LA
4-2S37. This service is not for
known diabetics.
Don't Leave
Child Alone
The Department of Health
points out that children more
often than not will do the un
expected, and that it is danger
ous to leave them alone especi
ally near an open window. This
could es^v cost the life of the
child.

Sir: HUs letter is in regard
to the column hyJackie Robin
son an Minister Malcolm and
Adam C. powell. But it was real
ly an attack on the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad. I am fed up
with reading all the lit- printed
about this great man.
H Mr. Bunche and others were
such great leaders, why is it we
are fighting for the same crumbs
as we were when the white man
gave them their positions of lea
dership? None of the leaders
have taught our people to save
and poci their money together,
sa we could build homes, factor
ies, school, hospitals, that we
could call our ouR The only
Wack with enough nerve to say
and back up his words, with
sotn? action is Mr. Muhamaad.
But he gets no credit for it.
You can't plead the white
man's case to me. He is last a
wrong person. They are still
treating us the same way as
how many Negroes, he gives po
sition of leadership, as long as
they doing slavery. No matter
the masses of people are suffer
ing. those leaders don't mean
anything. Our people are still be
ing murdered, our women are
still being molested and disre
spected. our children are being
murdered (in church of all plac
es).
Mr. Muhammad is' reaching
every Negro regardless to what
type of life he may be living. A
Muslim doesn’t look down on his
brother or sister, though one
may be better off than the other.
That is why our street rallies are
so successful. It is much more
militant to stand up for what
you know is the truth, than to
know it and be afraid to write
or say.
Regardless of what you may
print say or think about M>- Mu
hammad. he will be the dr*-r in
the end. AH black people who are
searching for truth should come
out and Th- Honorable Elijah
Muhammad on December L at

hear this life giving message for

Benton's Africans
Sir: I have Just finished read
ing the article about the dynamic
singing star (to use your words)
Brook Benton and I could not
refrain from sounding off. No, I
am not trying to discredit Mr.
Benton as a singer. His record
is evidence enough of Us talent
as an artist.
That which I am concerned
w.th is Mr. Benton’s seeming
interest in Mother Africa. An one
who is very knowledgeable on
African contemporary history and
its culture, I reject "statements
of concern” by those who have
distorted their ethnic background.
I have kinky balr, thick lips,
and a broad nose. I need no west
ern (white) physical assimilations
to be proud.
And as for the female Afro

came, she can never stand taller
than I. I am the law.

osophy of abstract garbage should
