George Romney often mentioned as a possible Republican candidate for Presi dent came close to losing his temper here last week when ac cused by a Negro state senator of being influenced by his church’s religious philosophy concerning Negroes. Romney is a member of the Mormon ehurch that doesn’t,' regard Negroes as human beings on an equal basis with whites. In an emotional response, the governor, who was president of the Detroit Stake (diocese) of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, the state’s top Mormon office, before becoming governor, said: “I have never been taught the Inferiority of Negroes, and I don’t believe in it. I have been taught that every person on this earth is a child of God and thus is entitled to full and complete civil rights.” Making the challenge to the gov ernor was Senator Basil W. Brown, Detroit Democrat. He said his motives were nonpolitical and that he spoke from the Senate floor be cause it provided him with a forum. Brown said that his information came from a recent article in Look magazine in which a Mormon said that Negroes are banned from the more important positions and sac raments in the church. The article quoted Joseph Field ing Smith, president of the council of the church’s 12 apostles, as say ing, “The Negro cannot attain priesthood in the Mormon Church." Only By “Divine Revelation” No consideration Is being given now to changing the' doctrine of the church to permit him to at tain that status. Such change can come about only through divine revelation,” Smith is quoted. The article also quoted Smith as saying that Mormons have no ani mosity toward Negroes. Nor have Mormons described Ne groes as belonging to “an inferior race,” Smith was quoted. The writer, Jeff Nye, described himself as “a lifelong Mormon.” He has been taught, he wrote, that the Negro race descended from Gain, killer of his brother, Abel, CLIFF'S CAFE 1105 PLYMOUTH AVE.

Phillips and was “cursed with loss of God’s priesthood.” The mark of this loss, Nye said “was (the Negro’s) dark skin.” Brown Attack Brown told the Senate: “We Negroes have a right to know whether the major leader of our state submits to this philoso phy. Are we and our ancestors branded with the curse of Caln? Someone owes an answer to me.” Romney held an extraordinary press conference to answer Brown He was visibly upset by the sena tor’s remarks. At one point his voice trembled and at another point he slapped his desk repeatedly with his palm. Romney Statement Romney said: “I ask Senator Brown and others to judge me on the basis of what I have done.” The governor said that in his 23 years in Michigan he has been a leader in the first for equal civil rights to all, "regardless of race, creed, color or national origin.” “I have spent my time in Michi gan working to eliminate discrim ination and injustice in the fields of housing, employment, education and public accommodations,” Rom ney said. “These actions speak louder than any words I can say.” Brown's mention of the religious issue caught senators by surprise, and he spoke to a hushed chamber. He was granted permission with only a single objection to have his remarks and the maga zine article printed in the Senate Journal. "I think the public deserves to know the answers to these ques tions,” Brown said. "If 'the governor does not sub scribe to the doctrine of the Mor mon Church nationally, how do things differ in the Michigan branch of the church?” Romney replied that he could not discuss religious and theologi cal viewpoints "without injecting religion into public affairs. And I’m not going to do that,” he said, thumping his desk. "All of us are equal as children of God and equal as citizens and I accept this without reservation.” Romney concluded by saying: "I didn’t run for governor of Michigan as a Mormon. I ran as an American citizen and I don’t say that in an apologetic way be cause I’m proud of my faith.” Senator Brown said he was es pecially irked by this remark at- 7th STREET LIQUOR STORE (Next to Nankin Cafe) A Call FE. 3-5505 /\ USE YOUR CREDIT CARDS 7hih\ 22 50. 7TH ST. w-iir Cassius / W&&Z.

Didn’t Run As Mormon “I would not want you to believe that we (Mormons) bear any ani mosity toward the Negro. Darkles are wonderful pepole, and they have their place in our church.” Romney did not comment on this remark. Banker Bdwin Jones, who suc ceeded Romney to the top Michi gan Mormon office, said that the Smith statements Brown quoted are the policy of the Mormon Church in Michigan. “We accept it as revelation that they (Negroes) are not to be given the priesthood. This is in complete harmony with the church. We in Michigan have no authority to change it,” Jones said. Jones said that during Romney's tenure as state president, Romney was under the same obligation to maintain church harmony as Jones is now.
