Newspaper Page TextRacial Pride Vital If U.S. Negro Is To Improve Status Oakland, Calif. IUPII The American Negro will not get far in his battle for equal rights until he acquires ra cial pride, the chairman of the Afro-American associa tion said today. "What the Negro needs is the same pride that helped the Chinese, Jews and Irish to overcome prejudice," Don- Sale of Paper Firm Negotiated San Francisco - IUP1) - R. V. Hansberger, president of Boise Cascade Corp., Boise, Idaho, disclosed Tuesday that terms have been negotiated with Crown Zellerbach Corp. for the purchase of St. Helens Pulp & Paper Co. in Oregon. Hansberger said the pro posal now is before the Fed eral Trade commission and his company will pay $30 million for the "package," which ex cludes some timber lands and equipment. ' Hansberger said his firm would finance the deal through long term borrowings from two insurance compa nies. The Federal Trade commis sion had ordered Crown Zel lerbach to divest itself of St. Helens in 1957 on grounds of monopoly and the order since has been sustained by the courts. Boise Cascade was formed by the 1957 merger of Boise Payette Lumber Co. and Cas cade Lumber Co. The Colum bia River Paper Co. was ac quired last year. Hansberger said return on investment is a prime goal. He said the rate of return has been increased from 6.2 per cent in 195B to 9.6 per cent in 1962 and the objective is now 15 per cent. He added it was only a mat ter of time until the stock will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Warden urged his follow ers to "throw away your bleaching creams, throw away your hair straightener, quit dropping out of school. quit flunking out and get off welfare. "If you won't accept the challenge to improve your self, then admit that you are inferior," he said. The 27-year-old attorney also was critical of the Na tional Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People (NAACP) and similar civil rights groups. He called the NAACP a "middleclass orga nization" which leaves the Negro without a sense of purpose. Three Jobs He charged that during the Birmingham demonstrations "over $2 million was wasted and only three Negroes got jobs out of it." "It may cost a million dol lars to desegregate a lunch counter and if successful, this will create maybe a doz en jobs," he says. "The Negro would be smarter to spend that million on a factory which might employ 1,000 Negroes." This philosophy and War den's criticism of "moderate" civil rights groups has result ed in strong criticism by some Negro leaders. Terry Francois, former head of the San Francisco chapter of the NAACP, has blasted the young attorney as "a modern Uncle Tom who should be tarred and feathered." . Warden stressed the need for the majority of Negroes to improve their lot through education and self respect a void which he said the NAACP and CORE have ne glected. Hearing Under Way On Teacher's Suit Oregon City-WPD-A hearing was being conducted here to day on whether a 64-year-old Oregon City school teacher would be able to teach her final year before retirement. Mrs. Jewell Joy has been charged with insubordination by the Oregon City school board. She has taught at the East ham elementary school for 19 years and has been a teacher since 1923. Mrs. Joy was charged by attorney Lowell Njust, coun sel for the school board, with criticizing Supt. Edwin Ditto, principals and teachers. Mrs. Joy, through her at torney, James O. Goodwin, denied the 25 charges brought against her in the hearing which started Tues day. Goodwin said the board's charges against her, with in dications she might not be re hired, were made known to her July 20. He said that if the board were going to fire her she should have been notified March 15, at the end of her three-year contract. She said teaching the addi tional year before retirement would increase her teaching retirement benefits from S100 to SI 10 per month. FOR THE FINEST IN DINING! BOMBERS COLLIDE Two B-47 jet bombers (similar to type shown here), each with three men aboard, collided Monday and were reported downed near Irwin, Iowa. The English Peer Wins Back Old Seat in British Commons London - IUPII - Anthony Wedgwood Benn, the first British peer ever to renounce his title, won back his old seat in the House of Com m o n s Tuesday night by swamping three opponents in a by-election at Bristol. The victory by the 38-year-old "Persistent commoner" had been expected. He will take his seat when Parliament reconvenes in October. It set the stage for the re sumption of a political career in the opposition Labor party that many observers believe holds a brilliant future. Benn was forced out of the House of Commons after rep resenting Bristol for a decade when his father, Viscount Stansgate, died in November, 1960. By assuming the heredi tary title, Benn was forced into the House of Lords which he once termed the "outer Mongolia" of British politics. Lords is virtually powerless. Led Campaign But Benn led a campaign for a peerages reform act to permit those who wanted to renounce their titles and run for Commons. Titled persons are forbidden to sit in Com mons under British law and tradition. The reform act passed last month and Benn went on to win election from Bristol by polling 20,313 votes. Three Independents opposed Benn, but neither the Con servative nor the Liberal parties entered candidates. Edward Martell, 54, a news paper publisher, got 4.834 votes; Mrs. Marguerite Lloyd, 49, received 287 ballots and Geoffrey Pearl, 44, registered 44 votes.
