WASlllNGTON, D. C. - A crowd of some 1,000 persons gathered at the Sheraton Park Hotel Sunday to pay tribute to Frederick Douglass, and launch a drive for funds to restore the Washington home of the noted abolitionist and maintain it as a national shrine. During a three-hour program sponsored by the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, three distinguished speakers lauded Douglass and urged nation-wide support of efforts to National Negro Newspaper Week Is Commemorated The Northwest Clarion joins with others in celebrating and honoring National Negro Newspaper Week, March 16-25. We invite all clubs, fraternal groups, churches and individuals to write in your comments <m what the Negro press means to you. We try to bring into your home, a clean truthful publication, one you can be proud of, as well as fit for your children to read. The theme for National Negro Newspaper Week is "The Role of the American :Minority Press in a World of Unrest." Next issue in honoring the 23rd anniversary of the Negro press, a history of N.N.N. Week, including a history of your Northwest Clarion will be published. Although various advertising media have sprung over the nation in c~mpetltion for newspaper advertising, the Negro newspaper still remains the most popular and effective medi~m for reaching the Negro buymg public. This is because the Negro people still look to their own newspapers to champion the interests of tbe race at ali times, as they could not always expect such protection to be rendered by others. Negro papers appeal to our race in a peculiar way that no other publication on advertising media can. Your comments will be appreciated. O..A.C.W.

LOGGING FIRM READY TO SAIL TO COSTA RICA FROM PORTLAND The Frazier Logging Co., of Myrtle Creek, Oregon, is temporarily located at Portland Public Docks' Terminal No. 2-lock, stock and barrel. The entire operation is presently on the dock, awaiting arrivel of the S. S. Santa Malta, a Grace Line ship that will move the firm's equipment to Costa Rica, where it will be reassembled and used for hardwood logging. Delbert L. "Buzz" Frazier, owner of the mill, accepted a contract with a Costa Rican firm to set up operations on the Osa Peninsula. After nine years in Myrtle Creew, everything but the buildingi of his mill have been moved to the dock to be loaded into the ship Wednesday (March 8). Included in Frazier's shipment are logging trucks and a pickup, winches, power saws, caterpillar tractors, safety hate, an electrical power plant, axes, sledge hammers, and an aluminum rowboat. Frazier will fly to San Jose with his wife and four children. One of his first steps will be to build a dock, for the loading of lumber aboard vessels. restore his Cedar Hill home in the Anacostia section of the Nation's Capital. They were U. S. Senator Philip Hart (D.-Mich.); Dr. Benjamin A. Quarles, chairman of the department of history at Morgan State College in Baltimore. Sen. Hart praised Douglass as a "truly great American," and announced that he will introduce a bill in the Senate to make the Douglass Horne a national shrine. The bill will be introduced simultaneously in the House by Cong. Charles C. Diggs, Jr. (DMich.), according to the Senator. "Put a needle into your Congressmen so that we can assemble across the (Anacostia) river and make the Home a part of the heritage of all America," Sen. Hart said. Dr. Johson, who serves as hon-j orary chairman of the Douglass· Home Advisory Board, said that the Home can become "an attractive center of esteem and affection for all Americans." The audience was urged not only to rebuild the Home, but to live their lives like Douglass by the J former Howard head. 1 "Douglass was not content to be fr'}e himself; he wanted to see all of mankind free," Dr. Johnson said. "He was one of the most powerful spokesmen for the cause of freedom who ever lived in America." Dr. Johnson told of Douglass' appeals to Great Britain during the Civil War, which he said were instrumental in keeping the British from entering the war on the side of the Confederacy. He also related the abolitimrlst's active role in the movement for women's rights. • "Like Douglass, we must do everything we can to change the Negro's status in America and the status of oppressed peoples throughout the world," Dr. Johnson declared. Dr. Qua1·les, a Dou5lass Livgrapher, said that the life of the abolitionist exemplified struggle and achievement. "He personified the great American goal that every man, regardless of hi~ beginning, can become somebody," the Morgan professor said. The restoration of the Home was seen by Dr. Quarles as being more than the building of a shrine. He said that it can give many people a sense of belonging. "Many people do not believe that the Negro has contributed to American history," Dr. Quarles declared. "The Douglass Home can show one of the contributions of the race." Other speakers included Dr. Joseph H. Douglass of Washington, grandson of Douglass; the Reverend • E. Franklin Jackson, president of the D. C. Branch of the NAACP; and Dr. Rosa L. Gragg of Detroit, NACWC national president. Under Dr. Gragg's direction, NACWC will attempt to raise $100,000 during 1961. If the drive is successful, the Douglass Home will undergo extensive renovation, including landscaping of the 14-acre tract on which it is located. Present plans call for the dedication of the Home as a national shrine on January 1, 1961. If the drive is successful, the Douglass Home will undergo extensive renovation, including landscaping of the 14-acre tract on which it is located. Present plans call for the dedication of the Home as a national shrine on January 1, 1962. The Douglass Home was bequeathed to the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association in the will of his widow, the late Helen Pitts Douglass. NACWC became affiliated with the Home in 1916, when it paid off the mortgage on the Home, thereby preventing a public auction of the property. The Horne contains many of Douglass' historic documents, as well as other relics of the mid-19th Century. Included are the flag and spear used by John Brown at Harpers Ferry, W. Va. The Home's collection "represents what a slave might think and what a slave might become," according to Dr. Gragg. The advisory committee for the restoration of the Home includes some 30 distinguished citizens. It is headed by Dr. Joseph Douglass, and has among its members the nation's four Negro Congressmen-Diggs, William L. Dawson (D-ill.), Robert C. Nix (D-Pa.), and Adam Clayton Powell (D-N.Y.).

Committee Hearing Reveals Spies Planted in Integration Groups TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-A hearing by the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee revealed bow spies are planted in integration groups to report to state officials in the South. Three such spies were exposed when the committee made a desperate but insuccessful effort to show that the integration movement is controlled by so-- called subversives. Those e,xposed were Mrs. C. C. Collins and Ernest M. Salley, both of De Land, Fla., and MJ.·s. Mary Mueller of Mobile, Ala., formerly of Tallahassee, all white. They told of attending integrationist meetings and subscribing for integration literature at the instigation of R. J. Strickland, committee investigator. Salley even went so far as to allow himself to be subpoenaed to the committee hearing so he could take part in consultations between Carl Braden and his attorney beforehand. Braden, a field secretaary and editor for the Southern Conference Fund, New Orleans, had been subpoenaed by the committee while making a speech before the Volusia County NAACP in Daytona Beach. When Salley appealed for help, Braden offered to introduce Salley to Len Holt, Norfolk, Va., nationally known civil rights attorney who was to represent Braden before the committee. The Rt. Rev. C. Ewbank Tucker, A.M.E. Zion bishop, was also Braden's attorney but was unable to be present. Holt, Braden and Salley met the night before the hearing and Salley employed Holt to represent him. The spy obtained a copy of a statement that Braden planned to make the committee the next day when refusing to testify. The statement accused the committee of violating his rights under the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, guaranteeing freedom of speech, press, religion, association, and petition. Salley gave the statement to the committee, which then told Braden he could answer all questions fully or not be required to testify at all. The chairman, Rep. William G. O'Neill of Ocala, hurled the usual charges at Braden. He shouted: 'We will put in evidence that you are interested in agitation, stirring up sit-ins, and that you have no desire to impr~ve the position of the Negro but to further the Communist cause." After conferring with Holt, Braden told the committee: "ThiS· is a somewhat unusual procedure which you have set up. I disagree with what you have said. It is based on inaccuracies and false assumptions. I refuse to testify because you are violating my rights under the First Amendmept." Braden and Holt then sat downin the front row at the hearing and listened to the spies describe< their work. Mrs. Collins told of attending meetings of SCEF and other groups and of receiving lit- · erature and letters which she turned over to the committee. Salley said he attended a meeting in Orlando in March, 1960., at which a statewide committee was set up by persons and groups interested in civil rights andcivil liberties. The inquisitors were especially concerned about: a group set up in Tallahassee to alert people all over Florida against repressive legislation. Salley told how he spied on SCEF, the NAACP, and the Council on Human Relations. He alsomade reports on peace groups. On one occasion, he even took ·iithree-hour tape recording, part of which was played for the investigating committee. Reporters later asked Brade-11 if he and SCEF were concerned about spies and informers in the groups with which they work. Braden replied, "We never giVe it a thought. We are not doing anything subversive or unlawful,_ We take everybody at face vaJ... ue until they show that they are not what they say they are. w~ refuse to play into the hands or the segregationists by being suspicious of people. That's what they want us to do." Reporters also asked Braden for copies of the statement that he planned to make to the committee before it was supplied to the committee by Salley. Braden gave them copies of the state- (Continued on page two)

M· Minimum Wage Law Report The AFL-CIO told a Senate committee today that increasing the federal mirti~um wage and extending the law's C()Verage would increase employment as well as stimulate the national economy. Andrew J. Bierniller, director of the AFI.rCIO Legislative Department, testified before the Senate labor subcommittee that in 1938, 1949 and 1955, the establishment and improvement of wage minimums had touched off an upswing in jobs, especially in low-wage areas. Biemiller assailed business wit· nesses, especially from retail organizations, who have claimed that improving the law would mean layoffs. "Clearly they either don't know their history or they prefer to .ignore it," he said. The AFI.rCIO spokesman said he was "really irritated" at busi· ness spokesmen who oppo<;e minimiurn wages on "humanitarian" grounds. He cited testimony of one recent witness who said that if a $1 minim~1m went into effect, he would be forced to fire a 65-yc~r-old spinster who has been in his employ for 32 years, and who now gets $140 a month ·for working 40 to 43 hours a week. "Some humanitarian!" Biemiller commented. In the same connection, Bie· miller noted that the U. S. Chamber of Commerce spokesman had testified that jobs were "not important;" that "The purpose of the economy is to produce goods and services that the businessman wants. The worker is incidental to that." "Well, that is not our view of America,'' Biemiller said. "In our view, the goods and services are simply tools toward the achievement of a better life; they, not the human beings, are incidental."

While in Honolulu, we hired a car and driver who took us on a 60.mile drive around the isle, through a tract of six thousand acres that Henry Kaiser is developing and what a place it will be-We drove through the thousands of acres of sugar cane, and the pineapple plants, bought some of the fresh vine ripened pineapple that is so juicy and different from what we get here. When we returned from the drive, we called friends, the Wilbys and James. Together with fifteen other friends they came down and boarded the boat and visited with us in our state rooms. Refreshments were ordered and our guests enjoyed the repast. At 9:30 p. m. the loud speaker announced "All visitors ashore, please" and at 10:00 sharp, with the band playing, we left Honolulu.

Under .the leadership of Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, a new day is dawning for the Education and Labor Committee . . . and a vastly improved day when contrasted with the previous six years I have spent on that Committee. The professional level of the staff has been improved, and Committee ac~vities have been stepped up already. The Subcommittee structure has been completely re-organized, with six standing subcommittees and three ad hoc subcommittees. The Education and Labor Committee will be considering about 40% of President Kennedy's legislative program. I was deeply pleased to be assigned to the chairmanship of the Select Subcommittee on Eduness before us will be the higher education bill recommended in the President's recent education message to the Congress. These proposals will include a scholarship program, loans to institutions of higher education for the construction of academic facilities, including laboratories, classrooms and libraries, and the extension of cClllege housing programs. Hearings have been tentatively scheduled for March 15, 16, and 17th. I am looking forward to these hearings and the rest of the session with real optimism in regard to school legislation. The President set the tone in his education message: "We do not undertake to meet our growing educational problems merely to compare our achievements with those of our adversaries. These measures are justified on their own meritsin time of peace as well as oeril -to educate better citizens ru; well as better scientists and soldiers. The Federal Government's responsibility in this area has been established since the earliest days of the Republic-it is now time to act decisively to fulfill that responsibility of the sixties." Other legislation which has been assigned to my Subcommittee includes: National Defense Education Act Amendments. There will be proposals to expand the loan program, and we will, I am sure, be hearing testimony on the repeal of the discriminatory negative disclaimer r•=========:;r-------:-------, affidavit. Other recommendations for improvement of NDEA have • been coming in my mail, and I thousands NEW YORK CITY-When America'sforemost g0$pel singer, Mahalia Jackson, goes to Europe in early April, her two-month concert tour will include an audience with the Pope, a tour of the Holy Land, benefit performances for U.

For Miss Jackson, currently on a Far West swing which ends in Sante :Fe, New Mexico, March 18, the European trip will be her second venture abroad.

"But Now," Mahalia says happily, "the Lord has given me a brand new body and I'm going to see the Holy Lane-the place where the Lord suffered and died. It's going to be the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me." The Mahalia Jackson audience with the Pope is the inspiration of syndicated columnist Ed Sullivan, a Mahalia Jackson devo· teee. Miss Jackson has made numerous appearances on the Sullivan show. The American gospel singers' visit with Denmark's King Ft·ed erick the Ninth and his Que~>n is the result of an invitation the monarchs extended Miss Jackson when she sang for them at a Chicago reception given by Mayor Daley during their recent visit in America. On her European tour Miss .rackson will be accompanied by Alfred Duckett, syndicated columnist for Vital Information Press, who will take leave from VIP to handle press for the gospel star. Mildred Falls, longtime accompanist to Miss Jackson, will also be in the party. (Continued fr()m page two) Biemiller reiterated the AFir CIO's stand that the Administra· tion's wage-hour bill is too mod· est. He conceded that labor was prepared •to accepl very similar terms last August, "as better than nothing," btit stress~ that "the circumstances were far different." "There was, for example, the virtual assurance of a Presidential veto if a stronger bill emerged," he recalled. Specifically, Biemiller called for an immediate $1.25 wage floor for workers already covered, rather than the $1.15, $1.20, $1.25 escalator proposed by the administration. He asked for coverage of retail establishments having $500,000 or more in gross annual sales, rather than $1 million, and urged the inclusions of hotels and restaurants, certain logging operations, non-profit hospitals, transit and shipping lines and food processing operations, which are excluded in whole or in "part.

You are attempting to investigate in a field in which you are forbidden to legislate by the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, which is made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. "You have not shown me the possible pertinency of this question to any possible legislation. Instead, a study of your previous hearings convinces me that the sole purpose of this hearing is to discredit me and others working for civil rights and racial integration. This is part of the harassment to which I have been subjected for many years because of my stand for civil rights and civil liberties. "You also seek to punish me for organizing opposition to this committee and to the House Committee on Un-American Activi· ties. Your intent is indicated by the fact that your chief investigator subpoenaed me while I was cnticizing your activities at a public meeting of integrationists. "I have pending in the United States Supreme Court an appeal by me involving these very points, and I do not feel that I should testify regarding these matters while they are under judicial consideration. This was callto to the attention of your chairman when I asked for postponement of my appearance here. "I join other victims of this committee in declaring that you are trying to hamper our work for integration under the pretext of looking for subversives. I re· fuse to cooperate in such an en· deavor because it violates my conscience, my religious principles, and my constitutional rights. In other words, gentlemen, my beliefs and my associations are none of the business of this committee." The committee indicated that it did not plan any action against Braden because of his defiance of it. CLASSIFIED§ FOUR ROOM APARTMENT For rent; range and refrigerator; $40; Hartley Realty, AT 2-7283.

The Patterson-Johansson heavyweight champfonship fight, 7:00 p. m., Monday, March 13. * * * The fight started off with the "Fabulous boxing master" threading the needle with well placed rights and lefts, that popped off "The Bull's" kisser like rain drops off a tin roof.

Sugar Ray has lost three out of his four last title bouts, with one draw, and if he fought the "Bull" again this year, I would still pick him for a KO. This fight last Sat. should have been a draw. * * * The boo-boo of the big fight last week was the announcer that bave the announcement of the winner in such a way that TV viewers thought "Sugar" Ray had at least won one judge's decision.
