Wilkins Strongly
Supports Busing
For Desegregation
AMARILLO, Texas Busing
of school children for the pur
pose of integration was strong
ly supported by Roy Wilkins,
executive director of the Na
tional Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,
at a Freedom Fund dinner
celebrating the 26th anniver
sary of the Association's Ama
rillo Branch.
"The concept of busing is
strictly American," he told
some 300 NAACP members and
friends attending the dinner
here, August 3. "It was not
invented' strictly for the bene
fit of blacks or whites. It has
served many purposes besides
correction of racial imbal
ance."
Negro parents who object to
busing "forget that neighbor
hood schools were created by
segregation . . . and perpetua
tion of neighborhood schools
is perpetuation of a wrong,"
the NAACP leader said.

Spaulding's Leader Lecture
Receives Favorable
The 1971 Annual Business
Leadership Lecture by Asa T.
Spaulding, retired president of
the North Carolina Mutual
Life Insurance Company, given

Graduate School of Business
Administration has received
widespread favorable com
ment.
Dean Floyd A. Bond of the
Graduate School has informed
Spaulding that more than
Joe Louis Lea, 34, the al
leged suspect sought on the
July 18 slaying of Raymond
E. Norris, of Durham, sur
rendered in a magistrate's of
fice in Pembroke, Ga.
Lea, an honor gradie prison
er and felon who escaped July
21 by leaping from a Guess
Road Prison Camp truck, was
apprehended in a small town
near Savannah, Ga.
Durham Detectives H. L.
Hayes and H. H. Cameron have
gone to Pembroke to place Lea
in custody. Another man,
charged with the murder, Clin
tes Person 20, is being held
in jail without bond.
Much controversy centers
around) the incidents relating
to the alleged slayer and his
release from the prison as an
honor prisoner. Guess Road
Camp officials have conceded
that a .38 pistol had been
stolen from a cabinet at the
camp sometime before Lea
escaped, but said they were
told that this gun was not
used in the slaying.
Lee, who had staged two
previous camps, was on com
munity leave the day of the
slaying. He had obtained a
Sunday pass through a spon
sor. Frank Gunter, a State De
partment of Corrections offi
cial, said Lea's sponsor is no
onger in good standing with
the prisons system.

that interested minority busi-1
nessmen may contact him by '
calling 275-9497 or by person

Do you know what is more
hard to bear than the reverses
of fortune? It is the baseness,
the hideous ingratitude of man.

speech have been distributed
