venth and Lenox Avenues pose
with their cans and brooms
before they begin to clean up
the block under the guidance
of the Citizens Committee to
Keep New York clean which

In Progress
The agreement was the result
of negotiations which have been
in progress for the past two
weeks, initiated at the behest of
residents in Bedford - Stuyvesant
who were concerned about the
apparent lack of Negro employees
n the A 8c P supermarkets in
Brooklyn and Queens. The nego
tiations were carried out under
the direction of Darwin Bolden,
Director of the Bedford - Stuy
vesant Area Services Project.
Harry J. Mulrey, Director of
Personnel, A 8c P supermarkets,
Brooklyn and Queens, negotiated
the agreement for the chain
stores.
As a result of thia break
through, tat Mayor has directed
the Housing and Redevelopment

a part — to step up its activities
in this field and has asked other
affected agencies to continue to
coordinate their efforts with that

From the pulpit of his Con
cord Baptist Church in Bedford
Stuyvesant, the Rev. Dr. Gard
ner Taylor spoke, Sunday, on the
bombing and death of four Negro
girls in the 16th Street Baptist
Church, Alabama. Said he:
"That incredible act forces a
re-examination by serious Chris
tians of the entire doctrine of
non-violence except as a tacti
cal approach in selected situa
tions'*.

And at a memorial service at
Town Hall, Friday night, Brook

he doubted that ion-violence of
fered the way — out in the civil
rights struggle where Negroes
met such fate as befell the chil

One had a right to self-defense.
Mr. Killen stated. He could not
be expected to turn the other
check for persecutors of Negroes.
Rev. Taylor laid those who con
gratulated Negroes for this non

themselves In the face of provo

the ’righteous wars' we have wag

"I felt bitterly disappointed be

calm and cool pastor said. At
the conference were senator Hu

Sen. Humphrey, Rev. Taylor
reported, warned that many of
his colleagues "live In a vacuum
and that our civil rights legisla

groes and their white friends
must mount a nation-wide cam- l
paign of letter writing and visi

push the bill through.
Disappointed and saddened by
Birmingham bombings, Rev. Tay
lor spoke Monday, of a basic dis
agreement with the non-violeat
philosophy. The idea grew out of
the liberal theology at Chicago
University Divinity School, when
twenty years ago. It was held
that man was basically good and
did not need any sanctions. Ha
did not accept that.
"I don't think Negroes shouM
wage aggression or engage in
warfare". Rev. Taylor stated,
