EBONY NAMES
NEGROES MOST
INFLUENTIAL
CHICAGO (UPI) — Martin
Luther King Jr., Jackie Robin
son and James H. Meredith
were included in the list of 100
most influential Negroes named
this week by Ebony magazine.
In a special edition commem
orating the 100th anniversary of
the Emancipation Proclama
tion, Ebony omitted such well
known Negro personalities as
heavyweight boxing champion
Charles (Sonny i Liston, base
ball players Willie Mays and
Ernie Banks, and entertainer
Eartha Kitt.
The list of top Negro leaders
was not a popularity poll —
which Ebony said Mays, the
San Francisco Giants’ all-time
player, might well head up—
"bul rather a list of ‘partici
pants* in the slruggle for equal
ity.
Ebony said Mays’ and for
mer heavyweight champion Joe
Louis’ “influence has rarely ex
tended beyond the diamond or
ring.’’ Ebony said it also ex
cluded “those celebrities who
have let it he known their pro
fessional careers and the fight
for civil rights ‘don’t mix'."
The list included:
Philadelphia Municipal Judye
Raymond P. Alexander, singer
Marian Anderson, Author
James Baldwin, entertainer
Harry Relafonte, United Na

THREATEN LOSS
OF LICENSE
FOR RACE BAR
INDIANAPOLIS <UPI>-Gov.
Matthew Welsh has threatened
Indiana's places of public ac
commodation wiln loss of lic
ense if they discriminate against
Negroes.
Welsh, in an executive order, j
directed the heads of all state!
licensing agencies to make sure
the places they supervise have
ended any racially discrimina
tory practices. He ordered the
agencies to “take all action nec
■ essary and appropriate to pre
vent at all times discrimina
tion.” 1
When does 13 feet equal 4 inches?
Research has proven that 4 inches of Spintex insulation in the
sidewalls and ceilings of your home will stop as much heat
transfer or heat loss as a 13-foot stone wall!! Anything less
than 4 inches of even the most effective insulation costs you in
both comfort and fuel savings.
Just 4 inches of Johns-Manville Spintex insulation will eliminate
those cold drafts along the floor . . . cut those heating and air
conditioning bills . . . and effectively fireproof the exposed walls
and roof of your house. And, remember, an insulated house is
a clean house, with less dust, less decorating, less dry cleaning,
and less housework.
Don't put off comfort and economy in your home! Be sure you
have 4 inches of Spintex insulation in your sidewalls and ceil
ings! Your Harlan E. Moore Company representative will be glad
to give you full details . . . financing available.
