But above all, the appointment
of Archbishop Rugamba raised the
possibility, technically at least, of
the future election of a Negro
Pope. It is from fhe College of
Cardinals that the Pope is selected
when the Chair of St. Peter falls
vacant,-
There have been no Negro Popes
in modern times, although it has
long been contended that there
were three in the early days of the
church.
The appointment also rewarded
Cardinal-elect Rugambwa’s cam¬
paign to raise the standard of his
diocese. When he first took over
in 1952, he had to battle religious
indifference and paganism as well

NAACP Supports Drive
NEW YORK — Local branches
of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
nle throughout the country have
beeti called upon to support the t
southern Negro students’ campaign
to end discrimination at the lunch
counters in chain and local variety
stores.
The fmotests of these young peo-
ole, NAACP Executive Secretary
Roy Wilkins said this week in
letters to local branch leaders,
“have the cooperation and support
of the NAACP for they are legi¬
timate expressions of citizens in
a democracy.”
PreviQUsfy, Mr. Wilkins had sent
telegrams to George Cobb, presi¬
dent of S. H. Kress and Company,
and R. C. Kirkwood, president of
F. W. Woolworth and Company,
the principal chain stores involved
in the “sit-in” protests at lunch
counters.
The NAACP, he told the chain
store owners, “deplores continued
refusal of” their stores “to serve

himself in his state income tax re¬
turns.
His surrender occurred
the deadline after which orders
would have been issued in Geor¬
gia for his forcible arrest. After
being fingerprinted, he was re¬
leased on $4,000 bond, $2,000 each
on the two charges against him.
The 31-year-old King refused to
discuss the perjury charges at a
called press conference. He said
“like millions of other American
citizens, including thousands of
Alabamans, I filed income tax re¬
turns which I believed to be true
and correct as to every material
particular. I paid the amount of
taxes shown to be due.

wahuka of Masaka, Uganda.
The new cardinal was born on
July 12, 1912 in a village near
Kagonodo. He was baptized at
Kagonodo, where he received his
early schooling.
He received his seminary train¬
ing from the White Fathers (so
named because of the color of their
dress) and was ordained a priest
on’ Dec. 12, 1943.
He then did parish work but
was later sent to Rome for grad¬

after three years was awarded the |

We fully support the protest' de¬

These stores, Mr. Wilkins point¬
'd out, “enjoy wide patronage of
Negro citizens not only in North
Carolina but over the entire coun¬
try. We urge you to give immedi¬
ate consideration to changing pre¬
sent outmoded policy to one of
serving all customers on same
basis without segregation or dis¬
crimination.”
In his letters to local leaders,
the NAACP leader revealed that
the Association “stands ready
upon request, to defend any of
the young people who may become
involved with the police or in court
action as a result of their partici¬
pation in this movement.” With
nationwide support, he said, “this
student protest movement will suc¬
ceed.”
indictments wii] obviously have to
be left to my lawyers. I hope my
friends will understand that since
this is a criminal case, I cannot
and should not further discuss the
case on its merits.”
The minister, who preaches pas¬
sive resistance to segregation, is
charged with reporting his 1950
income tax as $9,150 when it was
$10,102 and listing his 1958 income
as $25,348 when he earned $45,-
421.
King earlier blamed his indict¬
ment by a county grand jury on
state officials who “want to harass
and embarrass me.” He charged
that the tax agent who examined
his returns was “pressured” by
his superiors to bring about the
charges.
He said, however, “there may be
some little • unintentional mistake
in my returns.”

Other winter tips: carry a bag of

additional weight over the rear
wheels gives added traction, and
help land sprinkled under slick rear tire* can

progress in breaking down dis¬
crimination against Negroes in ap¬
prenticeship training programs
and in building trades employ¬
ment is anticipated by Vice Presi¬

ation in apprenticeship training,
Mr, Wilkins stressed five recom¬
mendations “to counteract the var¬
ious restrictive and undesirable
policies, practises and patterns de¬
scribed in the report" and foster¬
ed by, employers, trade unions and
governmental agencies.
The study, entitled “The Negro
