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,

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."
