Five Charges Preferred Against Bishop Nichols
In New York City M M Lindsey accuses D Ward Nichols of the AME Church of five charges including mismanaging finance, hiring staff without approval, organizing the Gator Bowl Extravaganza, pressuring ministers to buy home furniture, and restricting the central Florida conference finance committee. Nichols denies all allegations awaiting a trial by one bishop and four elders within two weeks. The report also notes a separate political development in Washington where Congress bypassed the Senate Judiciary Committee to place the Civil Rights Bill on the Senate calendar amid filibuster concerns.

Hawkins Third Appeal to Court Over Florida Law School Admit
Virgil Hawkins of Daytona Beach seeks Supreme Court review, arguing the Florida Supreme Court violated a 1956 ruling on prompt admission to the University of Florida law school. The Florida court held that final integration timing is for state courts, citing risk of violence and disruption. Hawkins previously failed to gain admission on color grounds, and the high court’s earlier stance on gradual integration did not apply to universities.
