1952. But Federal Judge Frederick
vanPelt Bryan has permitted the
Government to introduce testimony
to show a “similar pattern” of al
leged fraud.
The witness who testified yes
terday to the inaccuracies was
James W. Johnson, a lawyer and
former collector of Internal Reve
nue for upper Manhattan. He was
in the bureau for 12 years, until
August, 1951.
The overstatement of Mr. Pow
ell’s reportable income came thru
inclusion of $2,500 allowed to Con
gressmen for expenses. Mr. John
son said under cross-examination
by Edward Bennett Williams, chief
defense counsel, that he did not
know that a legislative act in 1946
had exempted Congresmen from
the necessity of accounting for
the expense allowance.
The understatement of Mrs. Pow
ell’s income for 1951 was through
failure to include $3,300 in foreign
currencies, drawn from booking
agents in Europe and Irsael during
a concert tour abroad the last four
months of that year.
Mr. Johnson testified that Mr.
Powell had given him a memo
randum listing such income and
saying it had been spent abroad.
Previously, Mr. Johnson said, he
had given the Congressman his
opinion that income from the tour
that was in currencies that could
not be freely transmitted to the
United States in dollars need not
be included. The $3,300 obviously
did not fall in that category. Mr.
Johnson was not asked yesterday
why he had not included the mon
ey.
Mr. Johnson also admitted to
two other mistakes. He confirmed
that he had duplicated $3,200 in
computing Mrs. Powell’s income,
as Mr. Williams had deduced on
| Tuesday from the testimony of
another witness. Yesterday he add
ed $23.23 to the total of $10,917.07
of such duplication.
Mr. Johnson was questioned by
both Morton S. Robson, Chief As
sistant United States Attorney,
and by Mr. Williams on what
reasoning he had used in accept
ing entertainment expenses claim
ed by both Powell’s in their 1951
j returns. Mr. Robson charged in his
opening statement two weeks ago
that such deductions had been “ex
cessive.”
Mr. Johnson said he followed
the “Cohan rule” of a “reasonable
estimate” of such expenditures.
The rule, he said, was established
when a tax court allowed George
minded citizen in supporting this
worthy cause. Providing this equip
ment will make it possible foi
hundreds of youngsters to have s
f happy and healthful camping ex
perience, she declares.

proximately 40,000 to Christianity.
Graham said he deliberately av
oided going to the Union of South
Africa because he refused to speak
to segregated audiences.
“But many South Africans came
to our meetings in Rhodesia,” he
said, “and they told me that a re
ligious revival was the only answer
to the almost insoluble racial prob
lem.
“They think that in about two
years they can arrange multi-racial
meetings. If that can be done,
South Africa is the first place I
want to go.”
Graham said virtually all the
leaders of the nationalist move
ments in Africa were educated in
Christian missions.
“The majority of Africans are
not yet awarde of the extent of
discrimination against the Negro
in the United States,” he warned,
“and that is a problem we must
make the most urgent efforts to
solve if we are to keep the friend
ship of that continent.”
Graham said he did not wish to
comment on recent racial conflicts
in the United States until he reach
ed his home at Montreat, N. C. He
plans to talk in Washington Thurs
day with President Eisenhower.

nothing since “Sherman’s match
lit march to the sea.”
In an editorial entitled “The
South Will Rise Again,” Editor J.
W. West said because of the sit
down demonstrations “all South
erners have developed a deep
awareness of the problems ahead.”
The editorial said “thinking
Northerners have been given their
first glimpse into the broader as-1
pects into the mixing of the races.”
“This willful trespassing and ob
struction was resented by, and i
repugnant to, all Southerners,”j
West wrote. “Not only Southern- j
ers were affected by the acts, but;
Northerners, many formerly iden- j
tified as being sympathetic with (
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, j
were affronted.”
Pointing to Mississippi’s new \
law providing fines of $500 and j
six months in jail for obstructing i
and trespassing, the editorial pre
! dieted other Southern states will
j pass similar statutes,
i “Storekeepers and public of
ficials over the South, have dealt i

M. Cohan, the late showman, to
list $11,000 in that category. That
was in 1926. Most tax consultants
and the Internal Revenue Bureau
have followed it “for more than
30 years,” he said.
Segregation...
(Continued from Page One)
results of segregation among Ne
groes were a growing feeling of
inferiority, compensatory exhibi
tionism, generalized aggressive
ness, hypersensitivity, submissive
ness and withdrawn behavior, low
ered asperations and retarded or
lowered academic achievement.
The foundation official, who is a
Negro, called for a broad program
of education to raise the cultural
level of the minority race.
His recommendations included a
stepped-up program of adult educa
tion, production and utilization of
improved publications “in the lang
uage of the layman” and a balanc
ed treatment of the “harmful ef
fects of segregation on the major
ity as well as on the minority.”

national leaders of Liberia, which
is the oldest independent nation
of Africa. Inviting members of
the all-African MR A force to
stand, the President told the dis
tinguished gathering: “There is at
work today in our midst and across
the world the superforce of an
ideology that is changing men,
changing nations and bringing a
new world into being. It is the
ideology of Moral Rearmament. It
is rapidly fostering the secret of
a God-centered unity, creating in
corruptible leadership and giving
direction and purpose to men and
nations that have missed their
way.
“The world awaits the miracle i
that will transform the attitudes
of our time and create unity tc
heal the hurts and hates of mil
lions. This is the challenge to us
as a new Africa emerges. This!
is Africa’s hour. We rejoice as
nation after nation in Afrcia gets
its freedom. Moral Re-armament
is the ideology of freedom. It is
the ideology that Africa needs to
day. Founded on religious prin
ciples and dedicated to the belief
that all men were created free,!
the people of Liberia support MRA
in its efforts to ensure unity and
freedom for the whole world and
pioneer for all peoples a hate-free
fear-free, greed-free world. But
you must begin with yourself
first,” he concluded.

with the problem with wisdom i
and calmness,” the editorial said. j
“This they will continue to do.
“But, it should be pointed out
that continued disregard of prop
erty rights simply means that all
Southerners will unite and rise
again to resist, within the scope
of the law, all such organized dis
turbances of the peace.”,

schools are needed, he said, as
well as a wider use of textbooks
and other instructional tools pre
pared by Negroes.
The Higher Horizons program
of the New York City Department
of Education was described for
the commission by its coordinator,
Dr. Daniel Schreiber.
He cited progress made toward
increasing the number of high
school graduates from low socio
economic groups and getting them
admitted to college.
Because most of the students in
the program are Negroes or Puer
to Ricians, an effort is made to
convince them that avenues of op
portunity are not closed to them.
Cases in which members of mi
nority groups have risen to the
top of their professions are point
ed out.
The students visit research and
industrial sites. Field trips are
made to colleges and universities
both in and out of the city. And
they are encouraged to develop
an appreciation of art, music and
the theatre.
Dr. Schreiber said that the pro
gram began in 1956 in grades 7,
8 and 9 of one school. Because
of its success, he said, it has since
been extended to forty-one schools
and expanded to include from the
third grade upward.
The cost above the normal per
pupil expenditure, according to him
is $50 a year in elementary and
junior high schools and $200 in
senior high schools.
