By tha Aaaoctatad Negro Preen
MINEOI/A. N. V—The wife and
children of Roy Campanella, diaabled
former Brooklyn IHxlgera catcher,
were technically put out of dooes,
laat week, when the $60,000 home In
which they had been living waa aold
for $47,000 to aatiufy a $0,000 mort-
gage claim at public auction here.
The Campanellna are c«t ringed.
Roy lirea in a Manhattan apartment,
while Mra. Campanella and their
four children have been living in the
houae, located in Glen Cffe, N, Y.
(Vimpy moved out of j^s 11-room
ranch home two yeara ago.
Hie $20,000 mortgage on the houae
waa foreclosed by the Equitable Hav-
intra and Loan association, laat July,
for unpaid mortgage and ta* pay-
menta amounting to $0,000.
However, aa earlier attempt to aell
the hnune waa atyinied by court ac-
tion. The court wanted ta determine
Who waa responsible for making the
mortgage paymenta. Campy and hla
wife, Ruthie, reportedly owned the
houaa jointly.
Laat November, Mra Campanella
accused her husband of deliberately
defaulting on tbe paymenta to get
her out of the house. Qnployed dur-
ing apring training aa a special coach

panella moaned: "I tried to atop the
sale, but my husband waa pushing it
pretty hard." Campy had reportedly
placed an advertisement In a New

He is said to have felt that his wife
and family could also live comforta-
bly in an apartment.

Ole Miss Pat on Probation,
Negro Educators in Action
D
By the Associated Negro Preaa
ALLA8, Texas—In an ironic twist of fate, Negro educator*,
— members of the Southern Association of Colleges and
schools, sat iii judgement on the University of Mississippi
accu:c-J *>f submitting to political pressure in resisting the ef-
forts of % Negro student, James Meredith, to enroll.
The association, meeting here list week, found Ole Miss
and its associated colleges and universities in the state guilty
. ... ..v —i ,h..m on when he took over as registrar to
of the chargc and placed them on
* probation.
Representatives of at least 43 Ne-
| gro colleges and nnirersitiea In 11
southern atatea were active in the
J aroeaadlngs and all voted for the
g (ensure of the Mlaslssippi college sya-
* -tan. The asaoclation haa been inte-
grated alnce 1808.
L While the association^ College Del-
'!■ .antes aascmbly suspended sentence in
sMississippi case, and did not
•trip the University of Mississippi
of accreditation, as it could bare, the
school group took decisive action.
, What it did to Ole Miss ami sii
Other state supported colleges and
■nlvuHtdM was ;
1. rw that U#v.,JUws B. Harnett
" interference
when he took over as registrar to
keep Meredith from registering laat
September.
2. Accept the aaaaraneen of Bar-
nett and tbe board of trustees of
state institutione of higher learning
that there is no interference now.
S. Put the university under observ-
ation and warn it that resubmission
to political interference, any legia-
lstive punitive action, or riots stay
bring quick loss of accreditation.
Although the riots that attracted
attention all took place on the Univer-
sity of Missisaippi campus at Oiford,
all seven institutions, with an esti-

California Financier,84,
Fights Court Efforts
Of Son, Daughter
By the Associated Negro Presa
IjI>8 ANtlEI.EH—A current na-
tional msgasine refers to Louis M.
Blodgett an a man with a sharp mind
and a financial wisard.
But Hlodxett waa in court !a*t
week fighting hard to prove this eMti
mate, and to show he ia capable of
managing hla own affaira in the fash-
ion he used to become California's
richest Negro, with an estate totaling
nearly 11000.000.
The M-; far-old financier, who In
1024 formed the firat Negro-©* ned
savinga and loan firm west of the
Ilockiea, liberty Savinga and Loan
association, waa in court to answer a
petition filed by hia son. AllensworUi
J. Blodgett. asking that he be ap-
pointed hia father'a guardian and con-
servator.
Joining the son In the suit is a
daughter, Mra. Josephine B. Smith,
47, wife of real eatate man George
O. Smith, and who waa the first Ne-
gro teacher ever assigned to a Los
Angeles high school ataff.
Mra. Smith, represented by Atty.
Stanley G. Malone, asked the court to
honor her consent to join her brother
or anyone else in legal guardianship
or conservator of her aged father's
eatate, if the court rulea the ailver-
haired, slow-speaking construction and
loan pioneer needs a conservator.
In hia original petition, Aliens-
worth Blodgett teft^fied that his
father needa a conaervator for "rea-
sons of advanced ^ge, mental weak-
ness. incompetency and physical ill-
neas.'* /. ^
The elder Blodgett. represented by
Atty. Leo Branton, Jr., is Joined in
his defense by lawyers for the Bev-
erly Hills-Bollywood combine which
purchaaed Blodgett'a CO per cent in-
terest in Liberty Ssvings snd Loan
for two million dollara cash earlier
this year.
The South Carolina-born Blodgett
arrived in Los Angelea in 1904. He
quickly became the firat Negro to pio-
neer in tract building in southern
California, and the firat to get FI1A
backing in the building industry here.
'!AMyeara after, he aettled in I^os
Angeles he formed liberty savings
with $16,000.
In late 1061 a Beverly Hills syn-
dicate bought out individual stock-
holders In the highly successful and
affluent firm.
Blodgett said he would retain hia
control of the company, and would
see to It that Negroes continued to
have ownership of the corporation.
In February of this year, however,
Blodgett sold his interest to Lorenio
V. Spencer, who is a Negro, for two
million dollars. Spencer, a real estate
man, then sold his interest to a Holly-
wood syndicate which began to move
the firm quietly out of the Negro
area.
Two weeks ago, the last Liberty
marking, a huge blue and white sign,
wss taken down from the facade of
the liberty building on Central.
Blodgett was recently sued in su-
perior court by the relatives of his
second wIfr,..KM« Matthews Blodgett. ■
who died in 1960 after a 12-year
marriage to the savings tycoon.
The suit contends that the late

NEW YOKK—The NAACP official whose tactic, bave caused
a split between his orps^iiation and the AFL-CIO declared
lait week that continuing pressure from ouUide a* well a« in-
side the labor ranks will force the AFL-CIO to move more vig-
ferersly disc-. Inination in nninns.
Herbert Hill, labor secretary of the NAACP, warned that
if the federation did not abandon its merely token gestures
for action, it could not survive.
At the same time. Hill looked for-
ward with optimism to a reconcilia-
tion between the NAACP and the
AFL-CIO. The two groups are at
odda over the NAACP*s anti-durrim-
iuation program and particularly over
Hill's play to atrip biased unions of
their bargaining rights.
The NAAOP, which backed Hill's
attack before s special House sub-
committee last August on the Inter-
natisnsl Lsdies Usrment Workers
union, seeks to atrip unions that dis-
criminate against Negroes of their col-
lective bargaining certification by the
government
George Meany, president ef tb''
AFL-CIO, haa led the attack again*;
He Im accused lii'.l, of.
falsehoods, smears and a political at-
tack on labor.
Meany has made two main points
about discrimination in unions and
how to fight it. Tbe job of ending
discrimination, he has said, must be
done within the labor movement. And
he has rejected the decertification
technique because he aaya It would
leave all workers—Negro sr white—
without union protection.
nm. speaking last week on "Let's
Find Out" over WtTBS radio, denied
that he or the NAACP wera "trying
to break unions" or Mta prevent
unions from operating aa the collective
