CHURCH LEADER DIES IN JACKSON Funeral services for G. F. Porter, financial secretary of the C.M.E. Church and one of the nation's most prominent laymen, were held in Jackson, Tenn., Monday, August 11. Mr. Porter had made it known that he would retire from his arduous duties with the church at the next General Conference in 1950, but his friends did not think that he was of such illness as might cause an early passing. Mr. Porter was in Louisville in June as guest speaker on Men's Day at the Chestnut Street C.M.E. Church. Note: More funeral details next week.

BEATEN BY COP ON BROADWAY Hardin W. Osborne, 1106 S. Twelfth Street, was beaten by a policeman in plain clothes at Eleventh and Broadway, Monday evening, and was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and drunken driving. Rev. A. J. Lively, well-known minister and manager of the Louisville Melodizers, leading singing group, who saw the incident, said that Osborne was neither disorderly nor drunk. He said that on Broadway at Eleventh, when the cars had stopped for the red light, Osborne blew his horn at the car in front of him when the green light came on. He said that the officer, who in plain clothes was driving the car, seemingly became angry, got out of his car, held up traffic, opened the door of Osborne's car and began to beat him. Finally he pulled him across the street, called two other officers and continued to beat the man, as he placed him in a cruising car. Reverend Lively not only secured bond for Osborne, but he retained Attorney C. Eubank Tucker to defend  him. When called in Police Court, the case was continued to Tuesday, August 26.
EDITORIALS THE PASTOR IN GEORGIA Officers of the white Baptist Church down at McRae, Georgia, could not forgive and did not forget their pastor, the Rev. Joseph A. Rabun, who on Sunday morning some months ago denounced the Herman Talmadge idea of "white supremacy," or a Democratic primary in Georgia for whites only. Herman, who desired to succeed his late father, Eugene Talmadge, inherited his Negro-hating and race-baiting from his father, and in his attempt to make into a law of the State of Georgia, ideas and practices which were bigoted, personal and detrimental to full citizenship where Negroes are concerned, he not only had the support of an element of white citizens at large in Georgia, but of officials of the Baptist Church with which he and his family were identified as members. That the pastor of the church stuck to his guns, and gracefully adhered to the demand of the officers that he resign as the spiritual leader of the flock, gives evidence that here and there we have people who are at least making gestures in the matter of exemplifying those things which are right and just--the democracy which we teach, and the Christianity we preach. Both in his denunciation of the would-be Governor, who advocated a Democratic primary law in Georgia, which would bar the Negro citizens, and the spirit that he exhibited in submitting to the will of the church, the Baptist preacher followed a course which might have carried a message to the officers to the effect that he at least was attempting to reaffirm the Gospel of the creation of all men out of one blood, and of all men being equal, whether they, the officers, were willing or not to follow him.
DEAN DIXON FOLLOWS IN LINE In the news last week was the announcement of the marriage of Dean Dixon, nationally known music conductor of color, to Miss Vivian Rivkin, a white pianist of Ohio. Thus Dean Dixon follows in line with Father Divine, Max Yergan, Richard Wright, George Schuyler, and a few others of the Negroes of his thinking, of his type and of his class - Negroes who may be definitely stamped as intellectuals. Of course the marriage of a Negro man to a white woman is nothing new, although in particular cases it may be news. For years, in communities like Chicago we have found interracial marriages dotted among the homes of certain sections in the Windy City. Early in the year, Horace Cayton, Negro author and sociologist who spoke to an exclusive group of Jewish citizens in Louisville, said that mixed marriages were all right - and that Negroes sought social equality -a dding, "The Negro wants a free society where he can mix socially with whites, sharing common interests and backgrounds." On this matter we were prompted to reiterate briefly, as we were reminded of the statement of one of our Negro college presidents who, speaking to a group of the majority race, said that Negro intellectuals did not seek social equality - which to us also meant that Negro intellectuals were not concerned about mixing and marrying outside of the race with which they were identified. But to us, Dean Dixon, if we may class him as an intellectual, follows in line - and despite the fact that within his own prescribed race there is the rare opportunity of finding women of every hue and character - Negro women, possessed with rare and attractive personalities - and of the finest capabilities.

Charged with Detaining Woman
IDENTIFIED BY YOUNG JANITRESS
SAYS SHE THOUGHT WHITE MAN WAS ONE Of ACCOMODATING NEIGHBORS A white suburbanite, Fred Williams, 27, was arrested and charged with detaining a woman against her will, in County Criminal Court this week, after Miss Rosa Nell Lawless, 19, of Coral Ridge swore out a warrant for his arrest. Williams denied ever seeing her before. The young woman identified Williams as the man who picked her up in a gray Chevrolet sedan early last Sunday morning on the Old National Turnpike at 7 o'clock and made advances to her. Bruised on both knees and minus a large patch of hair in the top of her head, Miss Lawless said she got in the car because she thought the driver was one of the neighbors who are accustomed to accommodating each other whenever possible. She explained that she was rushing home in time for her mother to attend Sunday School after having spent the night in town with her sister. Miss Lawless said she was walking along the road toward home when a car came out of a lane and passed her. "He went down the road a bit and turned around and came back," the woman declared. After asking her where she was going, Williams, according to the girl who is a janitress at the Fairdale High School, said she could ride with him. He attempted to turn off the road at a point called Strawberry Lane, she further stated. Placing his arms around her neck, the young whiteman who is the father of three children, according to the mother of Miss Lawless, asked the girl to "love him." She said she jumped from the car at this point, although Williams declared he had a gun and threatened to shoot if she jumped out. County Policeman J. B. Lacefield, one of the officers answering the call said Williams might have hollered at her or "something like that." The officer added that "Miss Lawless says she got in the car - Williams to her not to 'holler' - she did 'holler' and threaten to jump [illegible] Williams stopped the car and let her out." The Count  y official failed to explain how the warrant was not executed until four days after the alleged crime.
