Opposition to "immediate merger"
in the'all-Negro conference, a part of

led by the Rev. George A. Tate, pas-
tor of St. Luke Methodist church,
Chicago. Rev. Tate's objections .ve

Rev. Tate asked, "or are we going to

Christine Ends
Prison Term for
"Framing" Lover
By the Associated Negro Press
LONDON, England — Christine
Keeler, sensational British party girl,
and the principal figure in a scandal
thst rocked London, Inst year, was re-
leased from Hollowny's Woman's pris-
on aere last week, after serving six
months of a nine-month sentence for
frying to "frame" her former lover,
Negro Jamaican Aloysius (Lucky)
Gordon.
Gordon, playboy jaas singer who
shared Miss Keeler's affections before
she became involved in a society scan
dal that ended the political career of
former British War Minister John
Profumo, was jailed last year on
Christine's testimony that he beat her
up in April, 1963.
However, Gordon turned the tables
on hia wayward ex-sweetheart when
he proved in court that she had "fram-
ed" him. He based Ms contention to a
large extent on a tape recording of
Christine's life story. The recording,
which ahe made for sale, indicated she
lied against Gordon.
Later, with the tape recording and
other evidence against her, Miss Keel-
curvaceous redhead, was found
guilty of perjury and conspiracy to
obstruct justice and given the nine-
month sentence at Holloway. Three
months was knocked off the sentence
for good behavior.
Meantime, another of Christine's ex-
lovers, John Edgecombe, also a Negro
Jamaican, is languishing behind bars.
He was sentenced to seven years in
prison in March, 1968, for attempting
to shoot his way into Miss Keeler's
apartment.
Gordon, a handsome, smooth-talking
fellow who divided his time between
siugiug in night clubs and "playing'
with pretty girls like Christine, so far
is the only one to come out on top in
the love game.
Profumo is broken. Dr. Stephen

ness for pay with high society people,
