Top Leaders Seek Funds For Church More than a score of the na­ tion’s leading political and gov ernment leaders, businessmen, and newsmen are serving on a nationwide committee to help raise funds to rebuild the bomb­ ed out 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. Ala. The group, who have formed the America’s Conscience Fund, with headquarters in Washington, D.C., Includes such persons as California's Gov. Edmund G. "Pat” Brown and Charles P. Taft, Cincinnati civic leader, co • chairmen of the fund drive, and former President Harry S. Truman Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges and Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman and others. Governor Brown and Mr. Taft, who also served as co - chair­ men of the drive to rebuild the Clinton, Tenn., school in 1958, said that donations sent to the Fund would not only help to re­ build the church where the four Negro girts were killed, but would also help to rehabilitate other churches that have been damag­ ed In Birmingham from recent bombings. Most Bombed "The tragedy is that It takes tragedy, the death of children, to stir America's conscience. The bombings of Birmingham have been going on for some time, 20 of them, before the 16th Street Baptist Church. They have made Birmingham the most bombed city of any in the world since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “The Sabbath explosion that rocked the world has now stirred America's conscience and we hope that through this America’s Conscience Fund enough money will be raised not only to rebuild the 16th Street Baptist Church and its once beautiful stained glass windows, but also help oth ers in Birmingham whose homes and churches have been damag ed,” the co - chairman said. Newspaper columnist Drew Pearson is secretary of the Fund, which is accepting contributions sent to America’s Conscience Fund, 1313 29th St., Washington, D. C„ or sent to the Building Fund of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. 9 CORE Members . On Trial Nine CORE members went on trial Monday at Criminal Court for taking part in a 44-day dem­ onstration at City Hall, basing their defense on the contention that Mayor Wagner gave the permission to sit in the City Hall corridors last Aug. 22. The nine — Negro and white men and women — face up to six months, or $500 fines each, If convicted by a three-judge court of misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Oliver Sutton, Mark Lane, Na­ thaniel Mitchell and Rudolph King are defending them. Sutton told The Amsterdam News the Coun­ selors were basing the defense on the grounds that the nine were taking part in an orderly demonstration “not in violation of law." The trial may continue through­ out Thursday or Friday of this week. Only about 2’4 hours each day are used for the trial of the nine CORE demonstrators. S4 • W. T.

Ghana Delegate Blasts Portugal Ha proposed that Portugal Im­ mediately enter into negotiations with the Angolan government in exile and other nationalist leaders of Mozambique and Portuguese Guinea for granting Independence. And If this is not done, he said: African states can never ac­ cept nor will they ever accept Jhe principle that Africa shall be half slave and half free. . . It is up to Portugal to abandon her fruitless Independence or face the fury of a renascent and united Africa." On South Africa Botsio presented his nation’s vigorous denunciation of colonial­ ism on the African continent and categorically attacked each as it exists. Speaking on South Africa Botsio said: “The racial policies of the government of South Africa con­ stitute some of the most for­ midable problems in Africa and the shameful plight of millions of Africans cry for speedy re­ dress. He called for the immediate implementation of the December 14. 1962 General Assembly re­ solution which would station UN personnel in South West Africa. No Change Of Heart "The long list of Security Council and General Assembly re­ solutions have failed to produce any change of heart among leaders of the present South African ruling party. > “The arrogance and truculence of Verwoerd and his colleagues CM no longer be tolerated. Botsio said Speaking on the American race problem, he said: “The long and sorrowful plight of peoples of African descent in America is a matter of deep concern to us all. America cannot long continue to have this blot and at the same time continue to enjoy the confidence of the African peoples” Libraries Offer Varied Programs A film showing on Automation, a program about Social Security, and a book discussion will be offered during the coming week at The New York Public Lib­ rary's Washington Heights and George Bruce Branches.

Ask Independence ‘Vt demand that Portugal should proclaim the principle of self determination for her colonies and take immediate steps to grant independence to the terri lories under her domination,” Bo&io said. Ia further denunciations of Portugal for her persistent re­ fusals to decolonize, the Foreign Minister said: “The heroic Angolans and other African nationalists who have jusfiy taken up.arms in defence of <heir inalienable rights have no Illusions that their claims for self-determination and indepen­ dence will succeed over the coun­ ter* claims by Portugal and her NAfrO allies Sentence CORE Pickets Sarah Penn and Helena Levin weae sentenced Wednesday after- no® by Judge Samuel J.

(Layne Photo) Africa And Harlem (Continued from Page Ten) individual women squat on the ground with small baskets in front of them selling peanuts, soap, surf, duz, or ivory flakes, or native fruits and vegetables in an attempt to help supplement the family income as Negro women have been doing for years in the United States. Dakar, the capital of Senegal, has a beautiful native market called Sandaga. This is like the busy noisy market on 116th Street and Park Avenue. In this market, one finds a wealth of the exquisite African wood and ivory carvings, costume jewelry from France (for this is a French city with an African touch), intricate silverware brought down by the Moors from the Northern deserts. The secret and fun of shopping is bargaining. If one does not bargain, he will pay much more than the article is worth. The native market is only four blocks from the picturesque center garden of the city with its modern seventeen storied African Independence Building. There is a sizable formal garden in the city with statues honoring famous citizens. In Accra In Accra, Ghana, one of the similarities to the Empire Bank1 on 125 Street which is seen is the pride of the African leaders who are managing Barckley Bank. A bank official pauses to say that the standards are the same as when the English managed the bank under Colonial rule. Stand at the window a few minutes and you will discover some of the same kinds of racial tensions which exist in the United States. The morning I was present at the bank, a European, a Britisher, wished to get certain service. He was the person following me. As the clerk was finishing my transactions of changing travelers’ cheques into Ghanaian money, another African inter­ vened and asked for service ahead of both of us. The Britisher became furious, because of the viola­ tion of the democratic process of wait-your-tum. The bank clerk served the African who inter­ vened even before my purchase was finished. The Britisher turned to him, when it became his turn and said, “Do you think there are any other people ahead of me, or may I now be served?” — just a little bit of the hostility that Exists between the African and his former colonial masters. It exists all over Africa in much larger quantities. One also sees another similarity between life on 125th Street and the life in East and West Africa. In Africa, the management is fast becoming African, often by decree. In 125th Street, the management is facing up to the demands of the American Negro for positions in management. In Africa, colonialists, whites, and westerners are often training the African for management positions in department stores, banks, and in civil service — post office, etc. In 125th Street one sees white and Negro working in relationships, each assisting the other, and the Negroes working up to top positions.
