Segregation to be
Methodists' Most
Explosive Issut
By the Aaso<iated Xegro Press
PITT8BUR01I, Pa—B«cial segre-
gation and specifically what to do
about the predominantly 'Negro Cen-
tral jurisdiction wUI at* the most
explosive Isaue on the agenda when
the 1064 general eonfertuco of the
Methodist church i# convened here,
April 2ft.
There is no question hut that the
church will be asked to strike boldly
against racial segregation from with-
in and without.
Within the church, segregation cen-
tera on the Central jurisdiction and
the barring of Negroes from church
worahlp In the South.
Aa far as the Centrsl jurisdiction
is concerned, the HOO delegates, in-
cluding 01 who are colored, will have
to wrestle with the thorny, contro-
versial and recurring issue of whether
to abolish it forthright, or do so by
196S, as ia being recommended by the
11MM> commission to study and re(>ort
on the issue.
The church admits that the Centra!
jurisdiction is segregated In its make-
up. Commenting on the issue, the
Central Christian Advocate, official
monthly publication of the church,
says in its current isaue:
"The question of racial segregation
in the Methodist church centers large-
ly in the Central jurisdiction, which
ia a constitutional structural racial
unit that was created and defined
by the uniting conference of 1930. (It

By Uu Associated N.Cio Press
PHILADELPHIA— Every time our toys get up in the worM
they think their girli aren't good enough for them."
With that straight from-the-ihoulder statement, Mrs. Eartie
Evans, mother of Twist king, Chubby Checker, explained why
che is opposed to the romance and impending marriage be-
tween her famous son and white Catherina Lodders of Holland,

have tired of playing an unrealiatie
part in the affair.

a discussion of the romance with
Misa Ixnidera, and that she told t^a
Dutch beauty point blank ahe didn't
think ahe was the "right person for
my son to marrv."
She aaid Miss Lodders said: "I
don't ever want to apeak to you
again," to which she replied. "Tfeat'a
