NEW YORK There ia a probability that President Eiaenhoww and for mer President Truman might meet on the same platform thi^ fall in a cause of brotherhood and interracial progress, accor ding to plans now being formu lated by offidala of the NAACP. This became known this week when it was revealed that tbei organization Will soon issue a| call for a mammoth non-partisan fund raising rally to take the form of a dinner, and that Mr, Eisenhower and Mr. Truman wiU l>e invited to address the^ gathering. Last week, Walter White, exe cutive director, and Dr. Chan- ning Tobias, chairman of the Board of Directors of the NAA- CP, called on ex-President Tru man in his Waldorf Towers suite here and extended him an invli tation to speak at the dinner. Just before he left aboard the Liner YMCA, Dr. Tobias said a formal invitation will be extend ed to the President. A spokesman for the NAACP denied a report that Mr. Tru man was being considered for membership, on the Board, or that he would head the cam paign to raise a $10 million Freedom Fund which the NAA CP will seek during the next ten years. The drive for the Freedom Fund was urged by Dr. Tobias during a speech at the recent NAACP annual con vention in St. Louis. It was touched off when the Board, Chairman pointed out that an organization with a progran^ like that of the NAACP would need about a million dollars a, year. Nothing that racial dis-. crimination and segregation should be ended in about ten years, it was immediately con cluded that such a program, should be undertaken. the suspicious aggressive atti tude!

Perry Attempts To Rule By Threats And Violent Abuse In a recent letter addressed to the Rt Reverend 8. O. Spottswood, Chairman, and the Board of Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Church, a group composed of some of the lead ing members of St. Mark A. M. E. Zion Church have peti tioned for a new pastor. Be low is a copy of the letter ad dressed to the Board of 81- shopa. GREETINGS: We, the undersigned mem- t>ers in good standing of St. Mark African Methodist Epis copal Zion Church, Durham, N. C., Central North C^olina Conference, Ninth Episcopal District, and representing a large number of St. Mark members similarly situated, respectfully submit the fol lowing complaint and petition for your consideration and adjudication: For the past sixteen years the Rev. S. P. Perry has ser ved as pastor of St. Mark Church. When he came to us, and during the early part of his administration, St. Mark occupied a place in the front ranks of the Churches in the city of Durham, N. C. Its ser vice and influence were known and respected by the religious and civic institutions of our area. Great crowds of eager and earnest worshippers attended our services, both morning and night, and our entire pro gram was operated with gratifying success. Some years ago Rev. Per ry inaugurated a move to buUd a new church to cost ap- proxlmataly 1200,000. At first the members were en thusiastic over the project but during the entire sixteen years of his administration we have raised only $74,000.00 for this purpose. In the meantime, however, Rev. Perry has changed from a gracious, congenial and in spiring spiritual leader to a scheming, self-willed and in temperate boss-type of' min ister, and has consistently at tempted to rule his members by threats, intimidations and sometimes violent public a- buse, one outburst of which was delivered in the presence of Bishop R. L. Jones on a recent occasion. As a result of Rev. Perry’s continued ungenerous atti tude, selfish acts and intem perate words the morale of the Church is probably at the lowest point in its history. Its former glory and high pre stige have faded away, and the uncouth demonstrations have made us the laughing stock of Durham. Many of our best members have gone to other A. M. E. Zion Churches, and some have gone to other Denominations, rather than submit, to this form of ministerial tyranny. Our regular Sunday morn ing congregations have been greatly reduced, and many times we have only thirty-five or twenty persons attending our night services. Since Rev. Perry launched the project of a new Saint Mark Church the following, new Churches have been built and completed in the city of Durham: Ebenezer' Baptist First Calvary Baptist Morehead Baptist St. John Baptist Presbyterian St. Joseph A. M. E. New Educational Building, and remodeling of Chiu*ch. These projects have been completed at the cost of many hundreds of thousands of dol lars while we have dragged along for sixteen years rais ing only $74,000.06 because of inefficient and ineffective ad ministration. This Committee, respectful ly presenting this appeal, and the members we represent, have been loyal Zionites aU our lives. Some of us have been members of St. Mark Church for more than forty years and have served in of ficial capacities for many years. It is not and has never been our desire or intention to leave St. Mark Church, re gardless of unfavorable con ditions. But we would like to see some action that would re store the morale and prestige of St. Mark Church to its former-high state. We have made several ap peals to Bishop R. L. Jones begging him to remedy our situation but thus far we have had no favorable results. We have sent two appeals to you, our Board of Bishops, but you have not seen fit to favor us with a reply. It may be that our previous appeals to you were not in order; but accord ing to the 1948 Book of Dis cipline, Page 58, Paragraph 85, we know that this com plaint and petition is regular and in order. Therefore, 'we respectfully ask that you consider our dis turbed condition and in some way arrange that we have a new Pastor in the reasonable future at St. Mark Church.
