CRANE PROTEST - As dem­ onstration* continued at the Rochdale Village cooperative housing project on the site of the old Jamaica race track, Speaking on job recruitment Rev. Walter P. Offut, Jr., said. that 1132 persons had applied at the four centres set up by the 1 ministers. Of these 500 sought j construction jobs and had been referred to the six-man referral ‘ committee. Sept 12 Last Day I Last date for referrals was 1 Sept. 12, he said. One month after that the ministers would know how the cases had been disposed either as journeymen or as apprentices. The ministers met ast week with the committee which would interview the ap­ plicants and pass them on to the unions. Any decisions found unsatis­ factory by the clerics could be reviewed by them and referred to State officials. Rev. Milton A. Galamison, chairman of the city-wide school integration committee, stated that the boycott of schools had been called off. They were satisfied that the Board of Education would issue detailed Integration plans by Dec. 1. The tentative plans would be examined by the civil rights group and Implemented Feb. 1. Answering a question Rev. Gal­ amison agreed that this was the last chance being given the Board and the boycott would be im­ plemented if there was no sat- isfaction after December. Rev. Galamison also deplored Supreme Court Justice Edward G. Baker’s decision last week, against the limited school inte­ gration plans for JHS 275 set up by the Board of Education. He nailed the decision contrary to the spirit and intent of the law and announced picketing of the school Divide and Conquer Rev. Gardner C. Taylor said that despite attempts to divide the ministers, they still stuck together and were united In their determination to push school in­ tegration in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The ministers also were united in the effort at a mass voter- registration in the Bedford-Stuy­ vesant. “The black sleeping giant of Bedford-Stuyvesant has awak­ ened." Rev. Taylor declared, "let every pollttcan who sold his soul for a mess of pottage take notice.” CHILD PRODIGY — Stephen Is now almost five and can read Ferguson of Brooklyn has been newspapers, dictionary etc. reading since he was two.
