Honor Roll of Race Relations Announced 14 Individuals and 5 Groups Civil Rights and Freedom Train Leaders Among Whites Honored MAKES SURVEY OF RACE NEEDS A public survey to determine attitude of local citizens on questions involving racial integration, will mark the second phase of an inquiry into services available to colored people here, J. Harvey Kerns, assistant director of research of the National Urban League said this week. Reporting to an interracial group of 50 persons at the Y.M.C.A., this week, Kerns, who was making the first report of work begun January 14th, said the new phase of his survey will be conducted by six students from the University of Louisville and six from Municipal College, to obtain opinions of Louisvillians as well as statistical knowledge. An unofficial poll this week not under the auspices of the group, disclosed conflicting opinions among 110 white students at the university, on Negro housing, employment opportunities of the group, and student willingness to share public facilities. A majority of the 110 polled did not think Negro housing was adequate but felt property owners were justified in refusing to rent to Negroes. 82 of this number would not be willing to allow Negroes to move into their residential section. This group also felt, that while Negroes should be judged solely on the basis of qualification for employment, colored people do not have equal employment opportunities here. Only about 50 per cent of the polled group would be willing to attend school with Negroes. They did not object to indiscriminate use of library facilities, but strongly objected to use of the same parks and playgrounds. Only 68 out of 89 who accepted the Christian doctrine were willing to have colored belong to their churches. FOWL PLAY? "Homo Africannus," or the Negro man, fabled in story and song as the inveterate fowl their yielded his priorities on the proverbial crime this week in favor of a "duck-hungry" white man. Art Samuel Payne (w), 47, 808 West Jefferson Street, was arrested Sunday night and charged with "fowl stealing" after Mrs. Florence Mulligan (w), 2810 South 4th told police a man entered her shed and took two ducks. The case is continued until March 10. HOLD FUNERAL FOR REV. C. L. HOWARD VETERAN C. M. E. CHURCH LEADER Funeral services were held for Rev. C. L. Howard, presiding elder of the Louisville District C.M.E. Church, at Miles Memorial, Tuesday afternoon. Following an illness of several months, Rev. Howard succumbed last Saturday, a few months after the passing of his wife, Mrs. Marie Howard, November 30. Rev. Howard had served in the Kentucky and Ohio Conference of his church as pastor, presiding elder and an outstanding leader of his denomination for 40 years under Bishops C. H. Phillips, the late N. C. Cleaves, and H. P. Porter, who attended his funeral Tuesday and paid a high tribute to the late minister. Rev. Howard was the builder of the church from which he was buried, Miles Memorial, in 1916, and had successfully pastored several of the leading churches in the Kentucky and Ohio area. Rev. A. J. Norris, pastor of Miles and former presiding elder, served as master of ceremonies Tuesday afternoon and Rev. C. L. Finch, pastor of Chestnut Street C.M.E. Church, delivered the eulogy. Dean Bertram W. Doyle and Rev. J. L Tellington, of Phillips Chapel, also participated in the services. Music was furnished by the Miles choir with solos by Mrs. Pearl P. Bell and Mrs. Lelia Tate Blakey. Resolutions were read from several church organizations by Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Mary Boone and the acknowledgement of the telegrams from friends in and out of the State by Mrs. Emma Goode, of Indianapolis. Rev. Howard is survived by several nieces and nephews. Rogers Funeral Home were the undertakers. Says Church Has Civil Rights Role Bishop Russell Dies BISHOP RUSSELL, EX-PASTOR DIES SUCCUMBS AWAY FROM WASHINGTON HOME ON CHURCH MISSION IN VIRGINIA Bishop C. L. Russell of Washington, D. C., passed away in Newport News, Va., last Sunday, where he was on a mission in interest of one of the conferences over which he presides. A former general officer over th Epworth League Department of the C. M. E. Church, and later pastor of the Chestnut Street Church Louisville, Bishop Russell was elected to the highest office in Methodism during his pastorate here, at the General Conference in Hot Springs in 1938. Presiding over the Episcopal District which includes the Washington - Virginia Conference, Bishop Russell has been outstanding as a church builder and expansionist, and in encouraging young ministers to go to school and college, that they might be amply prepared for the spiritual leadership to which they were called. Recognized as an outstanding student of the Jewish language Bishop Russell recently wrote a Hebrew book. Although he had not bee in the best of health for the past three years, his death was a shock to his friends in Louisville. He is survived by his wife and other relatives. Funeral services were held in Washington Thursday with the several Bishops of the C.M.E. Church and other leaders of the denomination over the nation attending.

N.A.A.C.P. PRESIDENT STRAIGHTENS OUT RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS ASSUMPTIONS By James A. Crumlin President N.A.A.C.P. Contrary to what would appear the editorialist tried to write into the N.A.A.C.P.'s thirty year fight against restrictive covenants, in The Louisville Times of January 28, N.A.A.C.P has never attacked these measures on any other grounds than those of racial discrimination. Racial restrictive covenants are advocated on the basis of two utterly false assumptions: (1) that the presence of a family or families of a minority automatically means the deterioration of property in the neighborhood, and a corresponding decrease in property value; and (2) that racially mixed neighborhoods create racial friction. In the latter belief it would be a difficult matter to offer documented proof of instances where Negroes moved into a "white neighborhood" and caused racial friction on their own violation. In direct refutation of the assumption that minorities de- (Continued on Page 4) DETECTIVE WALKER NABS WHITE BANDIT Four charges of armed robbery and fifteen burglaries must be answered by Ashton D. Marsh, (w) 25, 1732 W. Maple Street - thanks to an alert Negro city detective, John Walker, who took the bandit into custody early Tuesday morning. A saga of crime which extends into four states was calmly recited to police by Marsh after his arrest. The man drew the attention of the Negro officer after the latter watched Marsh and a woman identified as Mrs. Mary McCoy in front of several pawn shops at 6th and Walnut. The detective reported the two people were trying to dispose of several pieces of jewelry as part of loot takn from the home of Joseph Emmart, 423 Iola Road, Saturday night, February 7th. Invest your money in savings bonds and stamps. "Eastland Deserves No Courtesy," White Wallace Opposes Hospital Proposal for Vets Outrageous Says Segregated Hospital in Virginia Insult to All Races STABBED BY SCHOOL STUDENT A former Madison Junior High student, William Weathers, 17, 1530 W. Breckinridge, is described by city police as being in "critical condition" at General Hospital, following an altercation early Monday evening at the school when he was stabbed in the heart by another boy over five cents. Charles Raymond Wade, 15, 1344 South 34th Street, has been arrested and charged with delinquency, malicious stabbing and wounding with intent to kill. Another boy, Jimmie Smith, 15, address not given, is involved in the fray, according to police. Wade and Smith intimidated the Weathers boy after asking him for a nickel, police said. Weathers was stabbed as the two boys attempted to corner him. Capt. William Kiefer, head of the Crime Prevention Bureau, said it was "an act of providence" that the stabbed youth did not die immediately. He further stated the elasticity of the youth might work in favor of chances to recover. Several stitches were made in the youth's heart. While no detailed investigation of the stabbing has been made by school authorities, W. H. Perry, principal, said the trouble started in a hamburger stand across the street from the school. He also denied Wade intimidated the Weathers youth as reported by police. He said the Wade boy is a student in the school and Weathers is not. "We have had continuous trouble with Weathers coming on the grounds while school is in progress though he is not a student," the principal explained. The school head charged that the parents of Weathers had been "very cooperative" in trying to keep the boy out of trouble, but school authorities had to swear out a warrant against him on two different occasions.
