Powell, A New York Democrat who has been dumped by the powerful Tam many Hall Democratic ornaniza tion, had issued a warning to un named political opponents against ’•‘walking the streets of Harlem " The NAACP referred to Powell's May 17 address in which the congressman, who also is a minister, charged lhat the United States is the ‘ Second lowest country in the world" in terms of racial bro therhood. South Africa was first, he said. Powell, who has pleaded in nocent to charges of income tax fraud, hud charged that he was purged by the Democrats for backing President .Eisenhower in the 1956 election. "A white man in politics can leave the reservation but a Ne gro can t leave the plantation,' h«*. said He also charged tha the federal and local governments followed a policy of "white is right." The NAACP. in its statement 'issued by executive secretary Roy ; Wilkins, said that if Negroes were to win their integration goals, “v.v cannot condemn racism in others while u ing ti ourselves " FAURIJS SAYS (COMINITB FROM PAGE i) might call out the guard *- gain. "The same set of circumstance rarely occurs twice in a row.' said Paribus, who created a sensation last fall by putting National Guardsmen in front of Central High, which was under a federal court order to admit Negro pupils The Arkansas chief executive made his remarks at a news co r ference held while attending the National Governor's conierenc’ here. He said ad Arkansas guards men were under his control now except the 432 still in the. federalized unit stationed at th" high school after Presi dent Eisenhower withdrew federal troops. The president aho ordered the federalized guardsmen withdrawn at the end of the current school year. Faubus pointed out there are more integrated schools in Arkan sas than in seven other states combined and asked, .‘Why pic* on Arkansas?” He said racial integration will not be successful until it is ac cepted by the people of the com munity. He denounced fedcial military force to enforce integra tion as comparable to the me thods of a military state.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE II others are usually moie contemp t.ious than the persons they aie trying to show contempt for. What happened to our. Vice- President during the South a merican trip should not have hap pened to a doe. Wc are told that what happened at Caracas, Ven ezuela, both he and Mrs. Nixon were lathered with spit, from head to toe. That must have been hor rifying. humiliating and a shock ing experience for those ambas sadors of goodwill. It, was somo i thing that millions of Americans became indignant over. While we don’t condone whal happened to the Nixons, there is a moral we would like to point up in connection with i this revolting business. White Americans think nothing of spitting upon black Americans, and we remember those law less Americans who sank low enough to spit upon little Ne gro children admitted to form erly white schools. When the foreigners spat upon lhe Nixons, it should bring home to United States citizens what it is like to be spit upon by ctheis The Nixons now know this better than anyone else at this time. But who is going to explain to the Negro children of Clinton, Ten nessee, Sturgis, Ky.. and Lilt 1 ? ! Rock, Arkansas, and Charlotte. N. C., whv they were spat upon? O UTST ANDING INDIFFER ENCE: We have often spoken of the cold indifference for things worthwhile as exhibited by Ra leigh Negroes. A glaring example of this indifference was displayed last Sunday afternoon at the North Carolina NAACP Freedom Day celebration. The courageous arid outstanding Mrs. Daisy Bates, who had travelled several hun dred miles against the advice of hei physician, to tell the Little Rock Story and the great need lor more activity on our part, had to speak to approximately 2,000 peo ple. There were as many or more COUPON WORTH 10 POINTS vacant seats as were filled. Yet, just a few nights before the appearance of Mrs. Bate... there were .so many of our Ra leigh Negroes trying to get into that same building to see a rock and-roll show that hundreds had to be turned away On one's way to the auditorium, he could see people sittin;r on their porches, fanning and drink ing lemonade. Many others were seen riding around In their fine automobiles. Doubtless hundreds were home in bed. But wherever they were, only a few showed up to hear the address by Mrs. Bates It should have been worth while to attend the meeting just to see the heroic Negro children who are attending in tegrated schools in North Car olina. These children and their parents came to Raleigh to in spire sis with the truth of in tegration in other cities. No wonder Mrs. Bates eried out. “Where are our leaders? Does n't anyone care!!’’ “WE INTERPRET”: Last week the North Carolina Slate Demo cratic Convention adopted a plan!: in its platform that, said among other things, "We interpret the Constitution of the United States as allowing each state to enact laws for the segregation of the races In the public schools, etc ' We realize by now that nothing the power-drunk Democratic hi erarchy might do or say should occasion any surprise that is. un less It would come up with some thing "good” for the state luce raising Us per capita income from 46th place to 47th place.
