(U.S. Army Photo) Special Session To be Held to Elect Bishop NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The eighth and last session of The Methodist Church's Central Jurdisdietional Conference will be Aug. 17-19 in Nashville. The special session, to elect and assign a new bishop and to phase out the all-Negro juris diction, has been called by its college of bishops. This was authorized by Plan of Union for the Methodist and Evange lical United Brethren church es, whose ratification was an nounced in late June. The business sessions will be held in the Andrew Jackson Hotel, and the communion and consecration services in historic McKendree Methodist Church. Official delegates wjll number about 70, equally divided be tween ministers and laymen and representing the jurisdic tion's 12 annual conferences. The announcement came from Bishop Charles F. Golden of the Nashville - Carolina Area, chairman of the committee on Expense and Agenda for the session. Members include the Rev. John G. Corry, chairman of the local entertainment committee, and V. H. Dixon, coordinator, both from Nash ville. The Plan of Union autho rized the special session to elect a third bishop to take the place of the late Bishop Mar quis L. Harris of Atlanta, and to adopt plans for closing out the 38-year history of the church's only racially defined jurisdiction. Its end will come in April, 1968, when union of the Meth odist and EUB denominations is consummated. At tha.t time, each of the Negro annual con ferences still in the jurisdic tion will be assigned to either the Southeastern or the South Central Jurisdiction, depending on location. 150 Leading Churchmen to Aid Job Drive ATLANTA, Ga. One hun dred and fifty key Negro churchmen from 30 cities throughout the country met at the Chicago Theological Semi nary, July 10-12, to launch a nationwide campaign aimed at better employment opportuni ties for Negroes. Dr. Martin L. King Jr. called for immediate expansion of SCLC's "Opera tion Breadbasket" from the lo cal to national lfevel. The conference explored the sociological, economic, and po litical aspects of the Negro within the basic structure of American society. Main topics of discussion were the Negro in the national economy, poli tical potential of the Negro in the nation's cities, and the great problems of housing, education, jobs, poverty, and segregation in the ghetto. The speakers included: Dr. King, SCLC officers Rev. Ralph Afcer nathy and Hosea Williams, State Representative Carl Stokes, Negro candidate for mayor of Cleveland, and Archie Hargraves of the Urban Train ing Center The climax of the conference was the organiza tion of a national program of "Operation Breadbasket." Dr. King in the conference papers stated: "The buying power of the American Negro is greater than the gross na tional product of Canada or of four Scandinavian countries combined and yet we find our selves with so little influence within the American economy that more than half of our people are struggling on an island of poverty in the midst of this ocean of material wealth. Together we can organ ize to help remedy this situa tion." Dr. King will announce pub licly at an early date the name of the operation's first target, a major nationally distributed product. All out action will im mediately ensue, leading either to negotiations or the with drawal of patronage. y. - . ml s—.,- J x ▲ GET TRAVEL-STUDY GRANTS —Three A&T State University Professors receive Travel-Study Grants, provided by the Office of Education through the De partment of Health, Education and Welfare under Title ni of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
