Police Hate Movie Pidtets T^porarily Durham police halted the picket lines in front of the Center theat er briefly Friday night, but after a conference with an adult advisor to the group and Negro city coun cil member J.

Businesses like restuarants which serve the general public and which must be licensed and serviced by state facilities should be required to serve a- like members of the public 1 without regard to race or re ligion, said Marion Wright. Wright, who is a member of the N. C. Advisory Committee to the U. S. Commission on Civjl Rights, said such a law declaring discrimination illegal is Just one example of the kind of fight against tyranny which mi^st be laced in the next de cade^. ". . .the task of the future shapes up. It will not be so mucii the }oB of getting the law properly declared. It will be Ibe much more ex- acttng task of getting men to behave honestly and decent ly with each other, fhm form new protest is the form which corrupts the character of those who inflict it and leares scars «pon these who endure it." Addressing the Durham Com munity Fellpwship Forum on the “iRight of Protest,” the Ltinville Falls attorney said it ia the duty of all men to) resist tyranny whenever it appears. “From the Egyptian days to the present, many of history’s brightest chapters have record ed man’s resistance to authority. Where authority is evil, or evil ly exercises, failure to resist it becpmes an evil.” Wright traced the history of the operations of tyranny in the pwst and concluded that the su spension of constitutional rights was one of the key factors in the entranchment of tyrannous government. He declared that such a phenomenon is taking place in the South and in North Caro- liina in the area of race re lations.
