(IntontaUatud) Baptist Group Refuses Work Halt in N egro B Miami (U.R) The influential National Baptist Convention, representing one-third of . the country's Negroes, refused today to endorse a proposal for. all Negroes to stop work on March 28 to pray for Alabama Negroes arrested in a bus boycott. Dr. Joseph Jackson, president of the 5,000,000 member organ ization, said the local boycott in Montgomery, Ala., was "all right" but that a work stoppage by all the Negroes in the nation would amount-to "a nationwide economic boycott." Not Christian Tradition "I don't believe religion should be used as an economic boycott," the Negro minister said Monday. "Calling a halt to work is not in the Christian traditions." Sep. Clayton Powell (D-N Y.) a minister himself, and a group of other New York Negro clergy men, called for the nation's Ne groes to stop work for one hour on March 28 to offer a prayer for the Negroes arrested in the Montgomery bus boycott. Powell, a member of the Na tional Baptist Convention,- said the work stoppage would be a prayer .campaign "for delivery from persecution and for the delivery of persons afflicted with racial ' prejudice." :,''. . . ' "We are in favor of prayer, but we shall not go along with a nationwide economic boycott," said Jackson," who is here on vacation. Won't Support Boycott " He said he talked by telephone with Powell and "I told him: I agreed with the prayer;aspect, Mercy Flights Takes Three to Vancouver Three members of the Camp White Veterans Administration Domiciliary ' center were flown to Barnes General hospital in Vancouyer,.

The men and women of Pacific Telephone work to make your telephone ltore-useful every day. jf y8 but I advised him strongly we would not. support a nationwide economic boycott; Any vork st .page would be exactly that." Jackson, a native Mississippian who now lives in Chicago; said it is not necessary to stop work to offer prayers and not in the spirit of the ministry "to spread such a boycott."
