BY J. B. BARREN
BOCKY MOUNT - The Rev.
Gray J, Stokes, recently ap
pointed director of the Rocky
Mount unit of Organization In
dustrialization Center, (OIC)
accompanied by board member,
J, B. Harren, Journeyed to At
lanta, Ga. last week for a two
day meeting of the Southeastern
Region of OIC units from
Charleston, W, Va., to Okla
homa Ctty to Miami, Fla,
The sessions were held in the
modern 5-year-old six story
Paschall Hotel-grill, on Hunter
Street S, W. near the More
house-Speiiman-Clark College
complex, James and Robert
Paschall are the Negro brothers
who built the six-story five
million-dollar motor inn about
five years ago after their busi
ness outgrew the old two-story
structure across the street. The
new plant has 120 rooms with
ample dining facilities,
Nat tonally-known Rev, Wil
liam Holmes Borders of Wheat
Street Baptist Church, along
with OIC executive director
Frederick E, Miller, welcomed
the delegates to the regional in
stitute which was designed to
hear reports from the southern
area directors and their as
sociates in an exchange of ideas
of promoting the OIC training
and organizing effort, Oklahoma
City OIC caters to Indians, Ne
groes and Caucasians; Roanoke,
Va. has an iniergrated staff and
serves ail who will come; and
Charleston, W. Va., serves all
races desiring to participate.
Milton U. Stokes, director of
Southeast region, who gained his
spurs with a three-years ap
prenticeship iri setting up the
Little Rock, Ark., OIC -a
highly successful unit In the
nearly one hundred OICs across
the nation - told tine workers
that each community OIC must
develop its program as it best
suits its area, Milton Jolly,
another national OIC director
(who has visited Rocky Mount),
urged that the units "learn to
work with various agencies -
local and national -for a suc
cessful program."
One Florida city reported
some Whites and comfortably
situated Negroes tended not to
be receptive to the OIC help for
the underprivileged, Mrs. Con
suello J, Harper, a Montgome
ry, Ala. teacher-director, and
a Mrs. Davis noted the prob
lem of getting a larger per
centage of men enrolled in the
training programs with adults
seeming too embarrassed to
have others learn of their il
literacy, She very frankly sug
gested that perhaps women
should forego connubial rela
tionships with the men until
they responded to the offer of
free training for better jobs
Most OIC units have been re
ceiving valuable assistance
from the Industry and business
es around them in the employ
ment of their trainees, it was
reported.
Rev. Stokes and Harren will
report to the local directors
Monday night at the OIC center
with Chairman Willie Powell,
Jr, presiding.
"LISTEN AND HEAR”, SAYS
OIC
One of the oft-repeated
thoughts during the OIC regional
meeting in Atlanta last week
was: "While you listen --hear
what the people are saying;
you may not be able to cook,
but you can tell when it tastes
good,” The need for greater
understanding and communica
tion was stressed by OIC offi
cialdom, Including Milton U.
Oates and Elton Jolly and Fred
Miller who covered the nation
al OIC scene, stating that the
national organization both in
structs the local units and in
turn learns from them because
each local OIC has to work a
bit differently from the others
to achieve desired goals,
Charlotte OIC represen
tatives present were the Rev.
Russell Shipman, Congrega
tional minister and native of
Hendersonville (region of the
writer's upbringing); Misses
Lil Fairer. 601 N, Graham
Street; and Virginia A, Massey,
teacher - counselor. Charlotte
will hold ‘open house' for their
OIC Sunday, Dec. 14. No repre
sentative was observed from the
Greensboro OIC unit,--thethird
OIC in Tarheelia.

Black Cleric
In Favor Os
Pastore Bill
WASHINGTON, D. C. - Rev.
David N, Llcorish, Associate
Pastor of Harlem’s Abyssinian
Baptist Church, appeared
before a Communications Sub
committee of the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce, this week
to deny charges that a Bill
newal of the licenses of TV
and radio stations Isanti-black.
Rev. Llcorish’s argument was
largely a rebuttal of testimony
given by other Blacks who
claimed that the Bill spon
sored by Senator John O.
Pastore (D. R. I.) would, if
passed, prevent Black appli
cants from acquiring licensee,"*-
The* Bill (5.2004) is an amend
ment tothe Communications Act
of 1934.
Rev. Lieorlsh, citing his own
interest in seeing Black peo
ple acquire such licenses, said
that the Bill would do nothing
to prevent or to hamper the
application of any applicant of
any color, Rev Licorish also
felt that trumped up and pre
tentious arguments discredited
legitimate complaints against
discriminatory legislation
which does occasionally appear
in Congress.
