Former Sexy Singer Singing Hymns CHICAGO — Former nightclub singer Joyce Bryant has made her debut as an evangelist hymn song stress. ”1 appeared on the nightclub floor to be sexy", she said. And I even wore sexy-type gowns, but I don't think I'm a sexpot. There’s nothing against sex in my religion, but it should be kept sac red. Bn shouldn’t ha thrown Myers Can't (Conttaaed from Page One) questions . . . concerning his polit ical or religious views ah they af fect the college." Nobody can predict the future for the pleasant-mannered bache lor teacher who knows, whatever the outcoming of the hearing on Monday, he is unlikely to get an other Job in the teaching profes sion, in which he has spent his life. Several weeks ago, when Myers first announced his determination to be an "uncooperative witness, ’ he admitted that be didn t expect his Job to last in the face of that declaration. His one regret, he said, was that' the college would suffer because of his stand. Yesterday, in the face of the ac tion by the board to relieve him from duties as language teacher and golf coach, he reaffirmed that he was not holding Campbell res ponsible for his predicament.. My battle is not with the trus tees," he said. “My battle is with the Un-American Activities Com mittee. They caused this. This is what they caroe down to North Carolina to accomplish—to get peo ple fired from their Jobs.” Myers had also said, several weeks ago, “I can make a living twenty different ways.’ .The son of a Baptist minister and a Sunday School teacher, Myers readily found a Biblical analogy for the stand he is taking. A long statement which he gave to the press yesterday concluded with a reference to Matthew in which Pi late asked Jesus. "Do you not hear how many things they testify against you.” “Bat he gave him no answer." quoted Myers, “not even to a single charge so that the governor won tiered greatly." In that statement, also. Myers gave what he called “a few reas ons" for his decision neither to -make a statement concerning my affiliation with communistic organ izations or to resign or ask for a leave of absence." One, he wrote, was that “thi* request stems from the fact that I have been twice accused of being a communist, and that I do not •ntend to answer those charges be fore the House Committee for Un American Activities, which has subpoenaed me to appear before it. re0 yield to the resultant economic pressure bv making such a state ment would be in effect to yield to the committee.
