Dr. Cheddi B. Jagan, Prime
I Minister ot British Guiana who

munist bloc, will arrive in New
York on Saturday, April 27, for
a four - day visit to help plug
for a new university in British
Guiana and to deliver a Harvard

f Russian ships were in the harbor
at Georgetown, B.G., loading rice
for shipment to Cuba and Russia-
Felix Cummings, British Guia
na representative here for Ja
gan, said the left - wing leader

United Nations.
The visit of Dr Jagan, an East
Indian dentist, comes on the
heels of the recent visit to the

the opposition Peple’s National •
Congress, which is composed
mainly of Negroes and is gaining
in strength in its attempts toover-

Blind singer A1 Hibbler de
bunks the idea he went to Bir
mingham, Ala. to join the free
dom demonstrations for the pub
licity.
“The publicity wouldn’t have
done any good if I’d been dead ",
Al remarked last Friday after
his return from a five-day so
journ in the beleagured city.
’Twent down there,” aaid Al,
“after listening to the reports on
the radio. I wanted to try and
help those people.”
Hibbler and his manager, C.B.
Atkins, flew down to Birming
ham on April 11. They returned
last Friday. The singer was ar
rested for a brief spell while
once leading a group of march-
era, but Safety Commissioner Eu
gene “Bull’ Connor ordered his
release and he waa never pick
ed up again.
“They took me to the station
and sat me in a. chair while
they booked the rest,** Hibbler
recalls. "Then they ordered me
driven back to the Gaston Mo
tel where I waa staying.”
Hibbler was aaked whether or
not he was afraid to go to Bir
mingham.
I "I was afraid a bit when I
first made up my mind to go,”
he admitted.
"| “Were you afraid after you ar
il rived?” he was asked..
2 Must Plead

Narcotics Theft
"No, not at all,” he replied.
The blind artist revealed that
he found himself making his first
speech In Birmingham.
'Tm no speaker,” he pointed
out. “I’m a singer." But Al found
himself speaking to the demon
strators in a park where he gave
one concert at one rally and a
bowling alley where he gave an
other. The atter site was used,
he said sftr the demonstrators
were denied use of a business
school audi torium and the Elks
hall, both Negro owned.
Hibbler, who lives with his
wife, Jeannette in Teaneck, N.J.,
made his trip to Birmingham af
ter returning from a California
engagement. He said he left the
Southern city because of singing
committments. Both he and com
edian Dick Gregory, who made
a similar trip to Greenwood,
Miss, appeared on NBC-TV’s “To
day" show Monday morning to
describe their experiences.
Would Return
Asked whether or not he would
return to Birmingham, Hibbler
replied that he would.
"I'd go back if they asked
me to and if they needed me.”
Atkins, his manager, revealed
that the singer plans to record
some freedom rider songs in the
next few weeks before taking off
for a Midwest tour.
The singer revealed that he
hadn t known that "Bull” Con
ner, the infamous safety Com
missioner has only one eye.
“He told me they wouldn’t ar
rest me because I’m blind and
couldn’t do anything in jail. I
told him I could do as half as
much aa be could.
Hibbler also revealed that the
only time the Birmingham police
picked him up, they claimed
they did not want a blind man
left alone in the streets.
Hibbler. Little Rock-born, said
he told them; "I’ve been blind
all my life and I’ve been on the
streets all my life. I told them
they didn’t have to worry about
me.’

Oppose Top Floor Cut
Of Wash. Hgts. Library
A proposed move by the City
to cut off the top floor in the
Washington Heights Public Lib
rary building, 1000 St. Nicholas
Ave., is being opposed by a com
munity civic group.
The Washington Heights and
Hamilton Grange Cultural Com
mittee said that removal of the
building’s upper floor would
create a problem as far as find
ing another location in the Wash
ington Heights area, where the
Committee could continue its pro
gram.
John M. Cory, circulation chief
of the New York Public Library
however, docs not share this
view. He explained that even
with the incapacitation o f the
building there will be enough
space for youth and adult activ
ities. Dancing was the only ex
ception he noted.
POLICE ASK
YOUR HELP IN
KEEPING ORDER
Captain Carl Ravens, com
mander of the 28th precinct
and George W. Brown, chair
man of the 28th Precinct
Youth Council have written to
every church and community
center in the precinct request
ing residents of the commun
ity to help the police maintain
order during the summer
months.
—
"The police have been
plagued with near riots during
the past two years while at
tempting to perform their du
ties”, the letter states. The
police have been hampered
seriously while attempting to
apprehend criminals.’’
"Police are sworn to protect
the lives and property of the
community and incidents that
tend to cause a near riot tend
Io strain Ike relationship be
tween the public and com-
mnaity,” Capt._ Ravens and
Chairman Brown said.
“It is up to the City,” Cory
told the Amsterdam News. He
said the removal of the floor was
part of the rehabilitation prog
ram recommended by the Bur
eau of the Budget several years
ago, and that the Library has
“concurred with this recommen
dation.”
Thr building has fallen into a
state o' disrepair because of neg
lect d iring the last ten years,
the Amsterdam News learned.
Rehabilitation of ( the building
would cost an estimated $200,000,
against $32,000 to demolish the
top floor.
Carl Fields, one of the prime
movers of the opposition, said
that at one point of the negotia
tions conducted since last sum
mer, when it was learned that
the floor would be demolished,
the Committee suggested a plan
to finance the rehabilitation pro
gram through grants from priv
ate foundation. Library officials
told the Committee that the idea
could not be considered under
any circumstances, he said.

Missing Painting Found
For Current Armory Show
A two-year eearch for one of
the missing paintings exhibited
in the now-famous Armory Show
of 1813 ended when Pierre Puvis
de Chwvannea’ well-known "Fern
Nue" turned up in the home of
author-director Ranald MacDou-
gall and his wife, musical com
edy star Nanette Fabray cur-,
rently starring in Irving Ber
lin’s "Mr. President.”
The painting was exhibited fifty
years ago in the Armory Show,
the exhibition that awakened a
startled American public to mod
ern art.
The disappearance of "Femme
Nue" from the public knowledge
was discovered when art sleuths
started to work on the re-as
sembling of the 1913 Show for
the 50th Anniversary Exhibition
which is being sponsored at its
original New York setting by the
Henry Street Settlement. The Ex
hibition originated in the Munson-
Williams Proctor Institute of Uti
ca, New York where it was
shown earlier this year.
MacDougall discovered that he
owned the presumably lost work
while leafing through a copy of
Life Magazine, which reproduced
some of the more important
paintings which hsve gone out
of sight during the 50 years
since the Armory Show.
The Armory Show—50th Anni
versary Exhibition is now on
display at the 69th Regiment
Armory, 25th Street and Lexing
ton Avenue, to benefit Henry
Street Settlement’s creative arts
programs. It is open daily from
noon to 10 p.m., weekends from
noon to 6 p.m. It will continue
through April 28.

H. L ROLLINS, Representing
KLEEN-HEET, SHELL DISTRIBUTOR
‘■’But before you decide to buy, the NEW SHELL BURNER-PAK, I’ll give
your present heating system a FREE, SCIENTIFIC TEST, that teBs how
you can save up to $39 on every 8100 you now spend for heating oil.”
Says H. L. Rollins,
of Kleen-Heet Oil Company
Shell heating engineers have per
fected a remarkable new invention
called the Shell Burner-Pak. It saves
you money by getting more heat from
less oil. It produces a cleaner flame. And
it can even help quiet a noisy furnace.
• The new Shell Burner-Pak is so ef
fective that—in home after home-it has
cut oil consumption between 9 and 39
percent. Chances are it can more than
pay for itself in its very first season-
and go on saving you money year after
year.
• The new Shell Burner-Pak delivers
clean, quiet, efficient burning right
from the start.
• The new Shell Burner-Pak fits near
ly all gun-type burners.
