PRAISE YE THE I DON'T KNOW ANY GREATER PROTECTION Dear Doc Wilson, I am writing you for advice. I am going out with two fellows, and I can't make up my mind which one to let alone.

I love the one named J. yet I am unhappy and nervous when I am with him. There is something upsetting about his apartment. I always feel funny after I have been there. The other boy, B.W., I don't like at all, but I am happy when I am with him.

Both work on the same job, and live next door to each other. When I am mad with one, I just cross over to the other. Lately, J. P. avoids kissing and mak ing love to me.

He says I make him sick. B. W. is the one I don't love. He is the one who loves to kiss, and when he kisses, Doc, his lips "say something." Something seems to be wrong with both J.

P. and B. W. What I wish to know, is this: If you were would you hold onto J. P.

and set rid of B. or would you get rid of W. and hold onto J. Sincerely, Mary Z. ANSWER: You are Mary Z.

P. whip the hell out of Mary Z. Dear Doc Wilson, About six months ago, some body visiting us showed me one of your columns, and was very impressed. I was reading the one where the lady took the wrong sox to Virginia, and "fixed" the wrong man. Doc, I love my husband very much, and I am thinking, maybe, he doesn't love me enough.

ANSWER: In a short time you will bring into this world the greatest gift life can give. The time for worrying about gifts for yourself has passed. There Is a new star on the horizon.

The way to fix your husband': sox is to drop them into pot of boiling water, sneak up to the pot and drop in a cup of soap powder. When the evil spirits begin to steam, drop them on a washboard, and rub the devil out of them. Rinse them of all undesirable substances, then hang them on the line so they can get load ed with God's good air. You don't need anything personal ly, for you are loaded, already.

Maybe I bragged about It too much, so, someone stole it Like I was told in the beginning, my headaches night and day since it's been gone. My instructions were to burn it if anyone oth er than my self touched it Doc, I can't burn it because I don't know where it is, or who took it What do I do now?

Negro Teachers in Georgia Bid to Unify With Whites The Georgia Teachers and Education Association sent a letter to the executive secretary of the Georgia Education Association requesting that a committee of that association be established to talk with a committee from the GTEA to determine whether or not satisfactory plans can be established whereby the two state education associations may unify or consolidate. mittee and the NAACP. Last summer the National Education Association requested state associations that had racial restrictive clauses in their constitutions to remove such clauses and further requested that plans for merging or consolidating be presented to the National Education Association's Representative Assembly by July, 19G6. The constitution and by laws of the Georgia Teachers and Education Association have Rights Chief Infiltrates White Citizens Councils (Continued From Page 1) "Everybody In that chapter was lying Just to be a member.

1 didn't think the Catholics would stoop to that," he lamented. When Mitchell first began organizing in Maryland. he had dreams of forming other chapters throughout Maryland, Delaware and Virginia with tha Prince Georges County chapter as a nucleus. After he discovered that 18 of the chapter's 20 members were also members of the local chapter of CORE, he could figure why his plans for spreading the White Citizens Councils movement in the area never materialized. "Why, none of those folks were ever sincere," he said.

"Kilpatrick fooled me. He came to the meetings in a black zipper jacket which had the Conferedate battle flag emblazoned all over it But he was just fooling me." Organizer Mitchell added. The national convention infiltration by Kilpatrick made Organizer Mitchell surmise that "probably some of the other White Citizens Councils have also been infiltrated by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Com The revelation of Kilpatrick's real purpose in the White Citizens Councils national convention and the re view of the membership of the Prince Georges, Chapter is Just another instance of the decline of the White Citizens Councils in the U.S. A former University of Mississippi history pro James W. Silver, in speeches in Pittsburgh and Chicago and other parts of the country has been de claring that the White Citizens Councils are beginning to "die on the vine in Mississippi and other parts of the South.

No longer are there as many members as there once were, nor are those still left as frenziedly dedicated on the whole as some members once were. Financial problems, it appears, are one of the reasons. Just last week, Tom Blackmon, state president of the Alabama Citizens Councils said his organization has no monies or way of raising funds to replace Federal subsidies that will be lost by local school boards in the state if they follow White Citizens Council advice and fail to sign certificates of compliance with the non segregated schools provisions. In Georgia, also iast week, the State Board of Edu cation unanimously voted desegregation as the state's official policy when they passed a resolution to sign a certificate of compliance and gave local school boards the option of doing so. The White Citizens Councils arose in Georgia and other parts of the South following the 1954 U.S.

Supreme Court decision on schools, as a means of maintaining seperation of schools and white supremacy. Court Voids Conviction Of Mrs. Mae Mallory (Continued from page 1) Bruce Stegall, an elderly white couple from Marshville, N.C., during a racial demonstration on Aug. 27, 1961. The incident was said to have occurred when the Ste galls drove into a Negro district of Monroe.

Testimony from the original trial indicated that the couple had been stopped by a crowd of Negroes, taken from their car at rifle point and held prisoner in a home. However, statements from the defendants themselves contend that the couple was offered shelter as a means of protection from the mob, that all charges of kidnapping were turn, does not fit your envelopes anyway. Dear Doc, Can I get another "Lucky This one has done its work well, and I feel that a new one will keep me moving. I win at everything I touch. ANSWER: The old one is good for 10 years.

Drawing sentence term along with Mrs. Mallory were Lowry, 3 to 5 years, and Crow der and Reape, 7 to 10 years.

All had been free on bond pending the outcome of an ap peal Though another Negro, Rob ert F. Williams, was impli cated in the alleged kidnapping, he fled to Canada, to escape prosecution, and later became an exile in Cuba. Mrs. Mallory's case, how ever, stood out from those of the others and she became, during recent years, a sort of symbol of the fighting spirit possessed by so many Negroes and liberal whites persecuted on phony charges. Shortly after the alleged kidnapping, Mrs.

Mallory fled to Cleveland, Ohio, in an attempt to escape facing court on North Carolina, where she feared she would not receive a fair trial. In Cleveland she was ar rested by the authorities, thus beginning an unsuccessful two year extradition battle, She carried her fight through the state courts, the governor i office and the U.S. Court on two occasions before being or dered to return to Monroe to star trial. Throughout her period of captivity, the Monroe Defense Committee highly publicized her case, urging Ohio officials to take action which might prevent Mrs. Mallory's being returned to North Carolina where she feared she'd be given an unfair trial Mrs.

Mallory also wrote many mov ing articles describing the con ditions under which she was forced to live, for two years, as a "temporary' prisoner.

The letter, written by Dr. H. E.

Tate, executive secretary of the Georgia Teachers and Education Association, suggested topics that might be discussed at the first session of a Joint committee. Call for End Of Arrests In Selma, Ala. (Continued From Page 1) refused to move from the line when ordered to do. More re ntly, Judge Thomas has clarified his injunction, asserting that arrests should not be made as long as applicants re main orderly. Though Clark at first seem.

ed ready to obey the injunc tion, arguments and arrests have sprung from the matter of "how many should be in the line." Negro leaders have deplored the arrests and threatened to seek order dl recting Clark to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for making the ar rests. Furthermore, they as sert that they are still being denied a right to vote in Dal las County even though a Fed. era! referee has been ap pointed to handle complaints, Dr. King has been in town throughout most of this time, but last week returned to his home town of Atlanta, where he was honored at a civic banquet hailing his re ceipt of the Nobel Peace Prize. There, more than 1,500 of Dr King's fellow Atlantans, the Jaycees during the organization's annual banquet He had been lured there by the director of the local Redevelop ment Commission, Henry E.

The word Is also out that Mr. Brown may be nom inated for one of the state awards and the national Jay cee list of the 10 "Young Men of the Year." Mr. Brown, one of six chil dren, was reared by his grand parents, Mr.

After graduation from William Penn High School in 1954, where he was a 155 pound foot ball tackle, Mr. Brown, now a solid 180 pounder, attended Virginia Union University in Richmond, and College In Greensboro.

"Dad was in a hospital and Mama was disabled," he recalls, "and when I was offered a job on the High Point police force, I took it and kept it for two and a half years. Later I went to New York City, where I served as a Federal Narcotics agent" He had married a childhood sweetheart Miss Sallie Walk er In 1956 and, despite her protests, deckled to return to his home town to seek his for Commerce Depf.

At first, members of At lanta's white power structure had been hesitant to honor him officials. Some members of the financial community had met and decided not to become sponsors of the affair. But while they hesitated, oth ers welcomed the opportunity to sign on as sponsors and the dinner became a sell out. Later, several forms and In dividuals who had declined sponsorship changed their mind and asked for tickets, only to find that there were none left High Point, N.C., Names NegroMan of the Year' High Pointer of Week' HIGH POINT, N.C. Good things come in pairs for Robert J.

Brown, president of a local public rela tions firm, who, within the span of four days, found himself named "Young Man of the Year" by the High Point Junior Chamber of Commerce and "High Pointer of the Week" by the High Point Enterprise, daily news nnner. The 29 year old High Point native was completely taken by surprise on Thursday night when he was called to receive the Distinguished Service Award, presented annually by tune in the public relations field in 1960. He rented an office, furnished with a desk, chair and a telephone, over a theatre, and for six months he sought out Industries and businesses in High Point and other cities across the nation, seeking clients. "One afternoon, while sitting at my desk wondering what to do," he said, "the telephone rang. It was a man in New York City who wanted me to do some public relations and survey for his company.

In the next few months, I earned as much money as I had made In two years as a narcotics agent knew then that I could suc ceed if I kept working hard." The name of Associates, public relations and marketing specialists, which he heads, is now well known throughout the country. In addition, Mr. Brown is chairman of the board of United Publishers, which publishes the Caro lina Times, largest and oldest Negro newspaper In the two Carolinas, and is chairman of the board of directors of Solar Corporation, which operates a supermarket and a washerette. In church and civic affairs, he is member of the board of the St. Stephen AME Zion Church and the Carl Chavis YMCA branch.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, he Joined the Valentinos several years ago and attracted the attention of Cooke who sort of "took him under his wing." Several executives of SAR said that the late Cooke saw in him possibilities of blossoming out into a star in his own right and he was carefully grooming Womack to maybe "fill his shoes" when he someday retired. have to wait until I see an opinion from North Carolina.

"I'll see what North Carolina wants to do about this. They have these choices: to reindict her, dismiss her, or perhaps charge her on a lesser crime." While both Sam and his wife had both been pictured in newspaper and magazine stones as a "happily married" couple, this impression is now being shattered. "Did her love for him, if she had any at all stop, after a bullet ended his life? was the tearful question asked by a teen age female of ficer 6f one of hu New York fan clubs." Her thought was repeated by thousands throughout the nation who now wondering and discuss the Cooke's past domestic life. Few could re call the wife of any famed per sonality taking such a step so soon alter his death. Cooke was gunned down on May Indict Dead End' Powell, Dark Fury On Bias and Ghetto Ills (Continued From Fage 1) the full force of the judgment.

Told last week that his law yers had been quoted as say ing they had reached a dead end with the U.S. Supreme Court's turn down of an appeal Powell had made in the case of the New York state courts' judgment, Congressman Powell philosophically quipped interviewing Just call me, "Dead End FowelL" he quip was appropriate since Congressman Powell's refusal to behave as many whites feel a "properly domes ticated" Negro leader should, often finds him kicking out against the bonds of the ghetto, with a lot of the fervor and manner attributed to the legendary "New York Dead End Kids." His antics to escape being served a civil or criminal subpoena "while Congress is in session" are typical of "Dead End Kid" ingenuity. Only a few days before a New York grand jury on Monday, Jan. 25, began considering criminal actions which may lead to extradition proceedings to bring Powell back to New York to face arrest and trail there for allegedly transferring funds to avoid paying the defamation of character suit, Powell, In his role as chairman of the VS. House Education and Labor Committee was de fying the national AFL CIO in typical "Dead End Kid" style, Powell's defiance of the national AFL CIO came at time when most American Negro leadership was blithely mouthing the broad generalization that for Negroes to get ahead In their civil rights strike it would be well for Negroes to cooperate fully with labor.

In a speech before the heads of the national AFLrCIO, House Education and Labor Committee Chairman Powell told the group that he also believes that in order for labor to fully achieve its goals: La bor should likewise cooperate with Negro civil rights groups. Powell defied the AFL CIO by saying: 1. He will not hurry to have his committee O.K. a bill to re peal tne "ngnt to work" sections of the Taft Hartley law until labor opens up appren ticeships for Negroes in all classifications and stops "drag ging its feet" on more than token equal employment on a long range basis and not just mere "youth work camps" temporary, stop gap programs. 2.

Powell is against letting any more immigrants of any kind, from other nations Into this country, even If they are skilled, or even If they are not until the United States provides full employment for the thousands of UJ5. unemployed citizens who are Negroes. He wants a Marshall Plan type program, with funds spent on Negroes In the United States to lift the living standards and future of VS. Negroes. 3.

Powell is against any Fed eral funds being used for any tnine unless the expenditure of such U.S. aDDroDriations carries with it the guarantee he had burst in, beat her up in his search for Eurasian play girl Lisa Boyer with whom he had checked in with earlier. Mrs. Franklin was cleared at of full participation in all particulars by American Negroes. In the investigation begun Monday, Jan.

25, by the New York grand jury, Powell is accused of having transferred $900 he was to receive for writing an article in the September, 1903, issue of Esquire magazine on the "Duties and Responsibilities of a Congressman" to another account to avoid having it seized by New York State in part payment of the judgment of $16,500 to GS year old Mrs. Esther James, a former domestic, whom he has been civilly judged of maligning. Criminal Indictment on the charge, which is a misdemeanor hi New York State, would bring the unusual procedure of New York State going to the trouble of extraditing on a misdemeanor. Extraditions are almost always mode on felony charges only. More than that, the extradition would be made for a lawmaker of the United States, whose immunity from civil actions "while the Congress Is in session" is written Into the Constitution of the United States.

Powell's protest to the US. Supreme Court, which was turned down, was that he was being "harassed" In his duties as a member of Congress. Within the past month, Powell has also been sued in two suits for $250,000 apiece. or a total of SoOO.000. filed by Mrs.

James' attorney, Raymond Rubin, plus $5,000 in legal fees, on grounds that he transferred title of property in Puerto Rico and New York so that it could not be used to satisfy the judgment The judgment was handed down 21 months ago, and since that time Congressman Powell, first using the "congressional immunity" technicality on the civil warrant and later staying out of New York and even Puerto Rico, where his wife, Yvette, and his child are, to avoid either' criminal or civil process servers, has managed to avoid arrest Congressman Powell, who Is minister of the world's largest Negro church congregation, Abyssinia Baptist Church, in Harlem, says it grieves him that he cannot return to "take care of my church." However, in true "Dead End Powell" fashion when the New York congressman was interviewed by Washington newspaper reporters last week he told them that he had, surreptitiously and quietly without notice (obviously when civil and criminal process servers weren't looking), slipped Into New York City recently, on Thursday, Jan. 21, "to pick up some clothes." He said he had also slipped Into New York on other occasions in a similar manner in the last 21 months. Since the interest on the original $46,500 judgment, now brings the sum owned on that judgment up to $51,000, and he's also sued for $500,000 plus $5,000, there's hardly anything that a total of $600,000, or slightly less expended by "Dead End Powell" that wouldn't make everything turn out all right. Mississippians Incensed Over Shooting of Youth, 18, in Jail (Continued From Page 1) fered a beating prior to the shooting and had powder burns on the forehead. Mr.

Evers said he had also been in contact with Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbacb. At a mass meeting held last Tuesday over 700 irate citizens made plans to demonstrate unless the sheriff, Fred Pickett, agreed to their demands. In the conference with the sheriff's office, the delegation was told that the killing was being investigated by the police department and the FBI as well as by the sheriff's office. Deputy Sheriff O. E.

San derford, named as the slayer of the youth, said he fired after Shelby had attacked a jailer In an escape attempt The delegation asked that the sheriff suspend the official involved unless a thorough investigation by the U. S. Justice Department clears him and that in the future, the sheriff assume personal re sponsibility for the care and protection of all Negro prisoners. Later in the week, Negro leaders called off a mass protest march to the Hinds County Courthouse, in response to State Court orders. Originally, they had wanted to march to the courthouse to dramatize their demands for the suspension of the five officers involved in the shooting of Shelby.

Four state judges banned the march on grounds it would Interfere with the peace and dignity of the court and Its proceedings. No effort was made to buck the order when NAACP attorneys pointed out that a similar order had been upheld by the Federal courts in 1963. Evers then called for Leroy Collins, director of the Community Relations Service set up under the Civil Rights Bill, to join personally in an investigation of the youth's death, Collins' job, under the 1964 law, Is to act as an arbitrator in racial disputes. Federal, County and City investigations are being launched into the killing which has ignited the Negro community here. Race leaders continue to ask for a national boycott of all Mississippi products until a full investigation is made.
