Family Threatened <CONTINUED FROM PAGE I t Sr., supported his wife’s views and said "we are interested only in obeying the law of the land.” The threat's began Monday with the receipt of a letter, allegedly written by she Wake County Patriots of North Car olina. A similar letter was di rected also to the Raleigh School Board Both contained threatened undertones. This was followed by a bomb threat and a “warning” telephone rail on Tuesday. Addressed to Joseph Holt, Sr., father of the young student, the letter was unsigned Efforts to contact members of the Wake County Patriots have been futile. Mr. Holt’s letter said: “It has been reported that you have entered an application for the admission of one of your chil dren to a high school maintained for white children. "We suggest and request that you withdraw that petition for admission. ”W hite people are glad to help pay for the education of your children. They are not very happy, however, about your trying to push into their schools. These schools are an extension of their homes, pro vided for the training of their children. We would object equally strongly to allowing white people to intrude into your school and your home, "We should like to have condi tions of peace and goodwill to continue between the white and Negro people of this region. "Your act helps to destroy that peace and goodwill." Mr. Holt said that his de sire to transfer his -son was “sponsored by no organization except Mrs. Elwyna Holt and myself.” “We want what's best for our son and we think it would be best ior him to attend Broughton." The Holts live only about six blocks from Needham Broughton High, but the dis tance between their home and Ligon is approximately three miles. They sought to have young Holt entered during the 1956-57 school year, but the application was filed too late. The Raleigh School Board has set a definite date to decide on the youth’s application: Tuesday, August. 6. Mrs. Holt said a man tele phoned her home t uesuay and said, ‘n am going to bomb your home and blow you up.' Be fore he could continue, Mrs. Hoit said she hung up the tel ephone. A few minutes later a wom an called and told the mother that she didn'l like the idea of Mrs. Holt trying to get her son admitted to a whit* school. The woman suggested that the application be with drawn. ' Neither of the callers identified themselves. Joseph, Jr. is the Holt’* only child. The letter written to the School Board follows' "We urge you to reject all pe ; titiom for admission of Negro children to schools -for white chil dren. Approving these petition.' would be making a beginning in I the creation of intolerable condi ; tions-—conditions that would low er the educational standards and ; create a moral environment that j prudent arid wise parents will not 1 tolerate . . .
