KING—Dr. Martin Lu university School of Religion at Shaw University last Wednesday were in attendance to hear the noted bus boycott leader. Others was sent out for the killer, hut he was not apprehended before reaching Raleigh. Upon arriving there he is re ported to have seen Motorcycle Os- { Wcer B. L. Bunn on the street and j went over and gave himself up. I According to Parks, he shot the j librarian when attempts at a re* j conciliation failed. He reported be ! vanta angered when she sent out. invitations announcing her coming marriage to Walter Michaux Sim mons. principal of a high school in j j Nashville, Georgia. Trie wedding J ! was sehedueled to have taken place j | on February 8 ODDS & ENDS (CONTINUTD FROM PAGE I) as first-class citizens was Dr. I Martin Luther King, internation- j ally-known fighter for human' freedom and equality. We heartily endorse this forthright action on the part of the religious leaders in our sister city, and we believe that God will a.J and direct their j efforts to point their people j to some of the practical as- j pects of Christianity. This action of the ministers in near i by Durham causes us to ask; Why is it that our ministerial j group here in Raleigh is not i aware of its duties and re sponsibilities along these same iincs? This question is most pertinent 1 at this time, because for the first time since Reconstruction, days j i we have right here in Raleigh a ! Negro candidate for a seat in the | state legislature. Every Negro pas | tor knows that Nelson H. Harris | ! should be elected to the position he aspires for. We feel that each Raleigh pastor would like to see him in the state legislature. But, and we think it is a ra ther important BUT, do the Ne gro pastors in Raleigh and .throughout Wake County realize < •that they can do more than ah ; other groups combined toward i helping to put Dr. Harris in the legislature. Votes are needed, in fact, votes are the only means by which our candidate can be elected. Before he can get votes, our people must register. For Nelson H. Harris to win, we must have double out number of registered voters wi dow have in Wake County. The job of getting our people to regis ter is everybody’s joo but our, pastors could, if they they only would, spearhead this job of get ting Negroes on the registration books. With our Negro pastors {leading the fight for registration j in Raleigh and Wake County, we' ' could assume the election of Dr. • Harris to the state legislature. Durham does not have a Negro candidate for the legislature, bat the Negro mnisters there are lead- i j ing the campaign for an all-out: Negro regatration then-. With the added incentive of a ' well-qualified Negro candidate, how come our Negro ministers 1 here are content to stand on the ! sidelines and merely “endorse ’ j the candidacy of Dr. Harris. • ! HOW COME? TIIUMBSUCKING A N D GUM CHEWING: Newspaper accounts of the trial of sev eral under-teen-age Negro boys for a series ot break-ins and thefts described the so called ring leader ot the youthful crime group as a “thumb sucking hoy of eight.’ These accounts also pictured the mother of this youngster as a “bubble-gum c hewer”, I blowing bubbles while her son 1 was being tried for crimes un usually associated with persons several times his age. Because there was no available j space in the detention home and! the “reform” schools, these you U s were found guilty and placed in the custody of their parents. Now, as we sec this mother, there me several things radically wrong i here and remanding these youths ■ |to the custody of their parents i appears to be the worst of -ho | wrongs. Society is probably at | fault in the first place for the eco | nomic conditions that caused | these boys r,o think that they had to steel in order io get the thing. I they wanted and, in some of I these cases, possibly actually need- I ed. Next, the state of North Caro i Una is certainly at fault, is not ’ having set, up facilities for keep ing and rehabilitating these boys But. then, after all is said and done, it seems to us that instead of releasing these boys, and par ticularly the chronic offenders a - them into the custody o' their "bubble-blowing mothers” these mothers and fatherc too should have been taken in custody [ and given some type of punish-: j ment. Undoubtedly there are many poo- ; i pie, in fact all of us in varying de- | grees, who are responsible for what j these 8-year-olds have done. But j i what person can be- ! | lieve that parents who citnnot con trol, at least to some extent, the ac tions and behavior of children a ! young as- these are fit parents for | them. And who will say that chil- I dren so young that they have sfop j ped sucking their thumbs should I not be held respun iblc for doings i DUBH AM AUDIENCE HEARS DR. KING A portion of the more than 1,8! ") inch mod the St. Marks AME Zion Church, Durham, las! Wednesday ni vht to hear Dr, Martin Luther King Jr., is pictured above. Dr. King was In Durham to address the Ministers Voting Lea ue, which held the meeting to inaugurate a giganto register and vote camptign. of such children? NEWSPAPER ACCURACY: Frotm time to time, we hear the Carolinian “cussed out” because of some minor error such as lines be ing mixed up, or failure to "jump” a story to the page indicated, etc. We know that the Carolinian re grets such erorrs and all errors for that matter. Wo also know that an ever-increasing amount of time and attention are given toward dimin ishing all of these errors. We discovered last week, however, that you can depend upon the Carolinian for factual reporting when some of the pa pers that many of our group swear by arc making erroneous reports. For instance, last week, a Raleigh daily in a front page news story erroneously stated that Dr. Martin Luther King was in Raleigh to address the alumni of the school in celebra tion of the founding of Shaw. Everyone reading the Carolin ian that same day could see that the daily's story was all wrong. Dr. King was here to ad dress (he theological alumni of the University on the 18th an niversary of the Theological Al umni Association. FULL EQUALITY: Who is going to say that there is no equality in this country when every Ameri can who has earned over S6OO dur ing the past year must return an equal and proportionate amount of his earnings over to Uncle Sam. All of this is done without regard to race, color, traditions or customs. Everyone knows that taxes must be levied and collected if govern ment is to be maintained, but no one has ever explained why Ne ‘groes arc considered as equals when taxes are levied but are not equal Wb; a the tax money is spent lL _JLL, !
