THE FLINT SPOKESMAN

-CHURCHMEN DIFFER ON~
FRATERNAL COUNCIL SET-UP

_ CHICAGO ~ ANP ~ Showing | b.
an inclination to divide along
denominational lines, officials of
~the National Fraternal Council
of Negro churches issued siate~ments here this week which in@icated lack of unity in the high.
er, reaches of the organization.., Bishop John H. Clayborn of,the AME church, president of the
council, penned ~his views in regard to the recent naming to the
post of executive secretary of the
council of the Rev. C.K, Stal~aker, pastor of the First Baptis:
church of Tulsa, Okla.. Bishop Clayborn said:
{No election of executive seci bhary was held. In fact the exerutive committee has no authPy to ~elect an executive sec~Filory The most it can do. ac
~ding to the constitution is to
Oeics an executive secretury. The election takes place at,the anual meeting next July,.~The: present executive secre_tary,- Bishop R. R. Wright, rec.
ommended that the committee
authorize the hiring of a well
trained young man, not over 40,
at a salary of $3, 000 a year to
~become assistant to the executive secretary for one year's
training. Bishop Wright. recom~mended that ~~such a young man
be elected execitive secretary at
an, increased ~salary after one
year.~

(Bishop Wright algo recommended~ that the headquarters of
~the council be removed from
Washington. where they are in
charge of the Rev. W. H, Jernagin, located in New York City,
~ap area to which Bishop Wright
-has recently. been assigned by the, AME church.)

-~A few of our. Baptist breth~ren,~ continued Bishop Clayborn, ~have long wanted a Baptist as executive secretary and
have mentioned Rev. Stalnaker. Several times, but he has. never

zen elected and
never will be.~
|The Rev. J, L. Horace, of Chicago, chairman of the executive
committee of the National Fraternal council, who presided over
"tha executive committee. m2eting held in Washington, Januery 29, a meeting which Bishop
Clayborn addressed, then issued
the ~sllowing statement.:

~The Little Rock annual 'sessien of the council held last July
gave the executive board of the
gounc:] authority to select an executive secretary ~ who- would
live in Washington and work
jointly with the Washington bureau which has been established
*+>re. The viewpoint. was that

~The action of the executive
doard in the Washington meeting wes proper and in order.
Rev. Stalnaker has been recommended legally by the board, an
action which can be ratified by
the council, Bishop Wright~s rec

emmeandations were disapproved

tional Fraternal Council of Ne-|
gro churches,~ Rev. Horace continued, ~~is that our leading
churchmen are so miserably little and immature that they can
only see things fheir own way.
They are.so terribly blinded by
their own importance and the
thrusting forward of their own
personalities,. until they seldom
see the cause.

~I am exceedingly fearful that
we -are not yet ready to work
tegether across denominational
lines. I am seriously considering
resigning in the near future from
the executive committee rather
than- waste time in friction with
so-called high churchmen. bent
on~ having their,own ends of
wrecking the program.~

the rural south is richer by the

Discuss Plans
For Savings,
Loan Group

NEW YORK ~ 45 A
group cf busincss men, interested
in establishing a. savings and
loan a3sociation in New York
City ~and vicinity, gathered- cd
last week to discuss further.
ganization plans. The venture
will! bear the name of Carver
Savings and Loan association.

Principal speaker at the meeting was John W. Harris Jr., secretary-manager of the Berean
Savings and Loan association of
Philadelphia. In his address before the ~group, he pointed out
that there are over 400 NegroOwned buildings and loan associations in the country, and exhorted backers~ of the New~ York
prospectus to qualify for the
Federal Deposit Insurance corporation.

Current plans call for the association to set up branches of
main group in Brooklyn, Bronx,
Queens. and. Manhattan. Officers
the Brooklyn setup are J. Daniel
Diggs, Elks, and Bertman Naker.

Says Genuine
Democracy
Possible

ATLANTA ~ ANP Dr.
Richard L. McKinley, president
of Storer college, delivering the
Founders day address at Morehouse college last week, challenged Morehouse men to be pioneers in the areas of education,
economics and politics,

An alumnus of Morehouse and
speaking for the alumni association, Dr. McKiney said, ~If we
are to be pioneers of light, we
must carry on for justice and for
truth, And, when all of the peo.
ple of the south, whites as well
es blacks, are prepared to experience the advantages of education, we can then build a true
American with genuine democfecy ~

McKinney made a plea for the
Negro. race to get ~~out of the economic quire and on the solid
cround of American economy.~
He said there was some trues in
the assortion that no Negro is
| more than two weeks away from
the breadline.

Animal Nutrition

The field of animal nutrition has
become more diversified and voluminous than human nutrition, owing to
better experimental testing facilities, the number of types and breeds
of animals used, and the greater
ease with which biological and pathological studies on animals can be
conducted.

though this group shapes the
volicies of the organization. As
loyal as A, Philip Randolph, organizer-president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
has been. to the AFL, he has not
had muth influence with AFL
top leaders as to the racial policies of -the organization or its
organizing. activites among Ne-|
gro workers.

The Virginia State Federation
of Labor has~ four Negroes on its
executive committee, and David
Alston, of Norfolk, who was promoted after the death of George
W. Milner, vice president of the
International Longshor emn~s
association, is full time organizer
in Virg:nia for the 4FL. Mr. Alston, who presides over the
Hampton Roads area of ih> ILA.
may in~the future be elevated to
the position once held by Mr.
Milner.

The C!O is employing -:nore
Negro organizers, according to
their reports, than the AFL, and
there are reports indicating that
the CIO is developing relatively
more Negro union leaders, according to some observers. A survey of the actual practice of the
two labor groups seems also to
indicate more d2mocracy in CIO
outfits in the south, At least these
viewpoints have been advanced
by mor writers in recent months
when comparing the merits of
the two labor organizations with
regard to opportuni-ies allowed
Negro members.

Will Hamas Winds

- For Light an and Licomst

Gorman E Engineei Has Plan to.

Solve Fuel Shortage.

FRANKFURT. GERMANY.~Nerman Honnef. one of Germany's foremost electrical engineers, plans to

| harness the force of the winds to

solve his country~s fuel and power
shortage.

First practical application of Hon- |
nef~s ~~waterwind power~ is planned |

for Selenter basin, near Hamburg.
Twenty huge wind generators, cowpled with the same number.
pumps, will be used to drive 10 turbines, ~

Honnef gets his power from~ ~~upStairs~~ wind currents. at an altitude
of some 300 feet. He first noticed
the winds in 1923 when he was build.
ing a lofty radio mast.

Later he found the wind currents
were not 100 per cent dependable,
but he overcame that weakness by
coupling his wind generators to water pumps for ~~windwater power.~
- Now, with pilot plant expefiments

~behind him, Honnef says he is ready

to set the darkened cities of Germany aglow and restart the machines of factories made idle by the
coal shortage.,

Engineers say the same type of
installation can be used at other undependable water power stations in

Germany. Honnef tried to interest

power companies -and municipal
governments in ~~waterwind power~
before the war, but no one would
listen.

His idea is a simple one. Wind
power is used to pump water, which
in turn is used to operate the tur
bines~which produce the electricity, -

Electricity produced by water
power is considered cheap in Germany at one cent per kilowatt hour,
but Honnef says his wind generators reduce the rate to one-fifth of a
cent. Furthermore, his revolutionary generators are not affected by
rain, ~snow or ice.

Honnef~s only problem will be in
obtaining steel enough to build prac.
tical- sized plants. The steel shortage is almost as acute as the power
shortage, There~s no coal to creage the power to operate steel mills.

President Roosevelt to assure
that every pair of skilled hands,

would be enlisted in the battle
of production for victery, ig not
to. be made permanent. Jyst as
the FEPC was a mighty conjribution to unity and morale during

The failure to assure aqua] employment opportunity means that},
~the Negro must accept a job ceiling; he is limited to the lesser
and. menial jobs. American employers, unions and professional
organizations can now~ interpret
democracy to mean the right to
-hire and fire without any obligation to maintain an employment
policy fr2e of discrimination. It.
means low incor levelg and
poverty for the Negro community. It megns that they will be
the first fired if unemployment
sets in. They will be.reduced to
poverty and to the acceptance of
relief. They were asked to he'p
fight and produce to win the
