TONSORIAL ARTISTS PLAN CONVENTION MRS. CHRISTINE MOORE HOWELL SCHEDULED TO SPEAK SUNDAY The Kentucky Congress of Barbers & Beauticians will hold its 13th annual convention in Louisville beginning June 25 through June 28. Highlighting the convention activities will be the public program scheduled at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Tenth Street, Sunday, June 25, at 8 p.m., when the nationally known Mrs. Christine Moore Howell, New Brunswick, New Jersey, will speak to the delegates and general public. Mrs. Howell is recognized as one of the outstanding beauty consultants in the country and for a period of four years served as a member of the New Jersey State Board of Barbers and Beauticians. During her services on the New Jersey Board she served for a time as Executive Chairman of the Board, being the only Negro member of the New Jersey Board of Barbers and Beauticians. By reason of her services in assisting in drafting and sponsoring legislation through the New Jersey General Assembly for modernizing and establishing rules and regulations for the barber and beautician professions her services were so outstanding and her ability so recognized [until?] she was invited by Governor Thomas E. Dewey as a consultant in drafting legislation of the New York General Assembly when that state recently enacted a modern law pertaining to barbers and beauticians. Apart from Mrs. Howell's profession, she has rendered yeoman service in fighting for the Civil Rights of the Negro people of New Jersey, and has been active in many of the fights for First Class Citizenship in that state. Mrs. Howell is considered as an authority on hairstyling, and operates one of the most unique beauty salons in the country by reason of the fact that her trade is approximately 60% white. She is also the owner and manufacturer of Chrisitne Cosmetics, and is the author of a textbook called "Beauty Culture and Care of Hair", which has been used by vocational schools, both white and black, throughout the eastern part of the country. This will be Mrs. Howell's first appearance in Louisville, and an enthusiastic audience is expected at the public program. Activities of the daily sessions of the convention will be held (Continued on page 8) Senate to Act on FEPC Again POLICE ACQUITTAL TERMED BLOW TO DEMOCRACY Lexington--The acquittal on June 14 of William B. Foster and William Lewis, two white patrolmen of Lexington, Ky., in the slaying of David Lee Hanley, a 17-year-old Negro youth, on September 1, was termed a blow to Fayette County democracy by W. D. Dotson, president of the Lexington branch of the NAACP. "The jury's verdict was shocking," said Dotson, "and a blow to Fayette County democracy." Hanley was slain at Sixth and Limestone Sts. early on the morning of September 1, when he fled the officers' cruiser after snatching a blackjack from one of them. He had been arrested earlier on Walnut St. by officers answering a prowler call. After deliberating for an hour and 25 minutes, the Fayette Circuit Court jury returned its verdict acquitting the officers.

The conference theme: "A Better World Begins With Me," was emphasized throughout the meet. The conference was characterized by inspiring addresses by conference leaders. Mrs. Minnie Hitch, Principal, Rosenwald Training School, Frankfort, gave the banquet address; while Mr. Arnold W. Wright, Associate Professor of Economics and Sociology, and Miss Ruth A. Mosley, Dormitory Director, both of Kentucky State College, spoke on "Vocations" and "Leadership Training" respectively.

Congress meet in Louisville. Freda DeKnight Wins Council Award DEATH CLAIMS DR. D. M. RUSSELL Dr. D. M. Russell, prominent Baptist minister and resident of Pittsburgh, Pa., died at his home, 7209 Monticello St., Pittsburgh, on Tuesday, June 12. Dr. Russell was well known throughout Kentucky as a leader in education and religion. He was the brother of the late G. P. Russell, former president of Kentucky State College. Disarmament is all right if all nations disarm. New Plans Change Election Form Local Branch of N.A.A.C.P. Opposes Amendment To National Service Act In a letter to Senators Virgil Chapman and Garrett L. Withers, Lyman T. Johnson, president of the local chapter of the N.A.A.C.P., urged their vigorous influence against an amendment to the National Service Act, HR 6826, proposed by Senator Russell of Georgia, which would permit segregation on the basis of race to continue in the armed services. "Not to support our request is in our opinion," wrote Johnson, "to disregard fundamental principles of democracy and fairness. We urge you, therefore, to consider our point of view--you would not like to live in a democracy and yet have to face undemocratic practices as we do." Last Scottsboro Boy Given Freedom Granting 38-year-old Andy Wright a pardon on last Tuesday with recommendation that he be considered for full pardon in five years if his record is good, the Alabama Pardon and Parole Board brought to an end the imprisonment of the last of the Scottsboro boys. Sentenced to 99 years, Wright has been in prison--except for a period of two previous paroles, both revoked--since 1931. Along with eight other boys he was charged with the rape of two white women transients aboard a train. Wright is the fourth to receive a parole. The fifth, Haywood Patterson, escaped from prison two years ago. "The Scottsboro Boys", a book, he collaborated in writing, is making its appearance on the book stands this month. To date Alabama prison officials have made no official statement as to whether they shall attempt to bring Patterson back to complete his 75-year term. Periodical Survey Due Soon The Census Bureau expects to start its survey of Negro publications and newsgathering agencies shortly after June 30, it has been learned. The last listing of Negro newspapers and periodicals was released in 1947. The draft questionnaire will ask publishers to report the names of newsgathering agencies to which they pay a fee for releases and other services. Separate figures will be published also to distinguish between newspapers of general circulation and other non-newsstand papers. The questionnaire will include suggestions offered by the Negro Newspaper Publishers Association. Interesting statistics: The world weighs 30,000,000 sextillion tons. Mammoth Musicale Presented Monday Many National Figures Arrive to Take Part in Program Converging upon Louisville from all parts of the United States and from foreign countries, thousands of religious leaders, delegates, and laymen have gathered here for the National Baptist Sunday School and BTU Congress lasting through Sunday, June 25. All of the Baptist churches in the city, many of which have undergone extensive renovation have united their efforts in serving as host to this mammoth convention. Estimates of delegates in attendance have ranged up to 12,000. The Congress got under way on Monday evening, June 19, with the presentation of an elaborate musicale at the Jefferson County Armory. Five hundred voices assembled from the local Baptist churches under the direction of Mrs. Barbara S. Miller and Mr. W. S. Buford, blended together to render a most impressive program of gospel music. A large and appreciative audience listened with great delight to the beautiful harmony of this unusual choir in its rendition of sweet religious and classical music. Local artists appearing on the program were Mrs. Sara Osborne, John Bell, and Miss Gladys Watts. William R. King, Miss Alyce Holden, and Mrs. Wilma Street were the instrumentalists. Jefferson County Armory, 6th and Walnut Sts., is the official headquarters of the Congress. The theme for this year's convention is: "Four Year Program -- Laying Foundation for Christian Living". Emphasis for 1950 is being placed upon the topic: "Guiding the Religious Growth of Children for Living in a Christian Society." Appearing on the program during the sessions are such well-known Baptist leaders as Dr. D. V. Jemison, President, National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc.; Dr. W. H. Borders, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. B. F. Reed, Cincinnati, Ohio; Dr. T. T. Lovelace, Chicago, Ill.; Dr. J. I. Holloman, District of Columbia; Dr. R. T. Andrews, Indianapolis, Ind.; Dr. A. W. Ross, Los Angeles, Calif.; Dr. E. C.

Ferguson told the Planning and Zoning Commission this week that the day is past when we need joints and juke boxes to show us how to vote. She opposed [a proposal to set?] up picnic grounds and a "Griffeytown Democratic Club" on a ten-acre tract. "Please don't permit something out there that will tear down the good work being done for our children," she said. "We don't care whether it is Democratic or Republican." President of the Pilgrim Baptist Church Missionary Society, Mrs. Ferguson was convincing enough in her argument to cause the commission to decide against the club. In Charge of Delegates [photo of two men] Prof. E. W. D. Isaac, Nashville, Director General, and Dr. E. C.
