DYNAMITE (Continued from page X) There is no chance Holmes will be able to return to his former home. His former land lord, James E. Murphy, has put up a for-sale sign on the building. “Not under any conditions*’ would he allow the Holmes fam ily to move back, he said. “I wouldn’t take the risk for him or my property.” In Chicago Lawn, where civil rights marchers demonstrated last summer, it was much the same story except that Charles Roberts and his fami ly were trying to stick it out in the previously all-white a • rea. Although the Roberts family has 24-hour police protection, racist vandals have thrown stones tnrougn their kitchen, front, and dining room windows since they bought their $17,000 home. “Absolutely no one” from the neighborhood has come forward to make them feel welcome Mr. and Mrs. Roberts reported. The house to the west of the Roberts residence reportedly has a sign on the front lawn, reading “Next house east” with an arrow pointing in the direc tion of the Roberts home. “The general attitude of the communitv seems to be very unfriendly, hostile,” said Mrs. Roberts. The family, at best, gets the “silent treatment.” At worst, racial epithets and stones are hurled at the Roberts family. Another Southwest Side fami ly’s windows were smashed by racist vandals. Mrs. Aimer Fox, who is part ly paralyzed, complained that bricks were hurled through her two kitchen windows. Mrs, Fox wondered whether the racists who smashed her windows represented the “a dult’ feelings in the formerly all-white community. Her children, however, have met a friendlier reception. Vic tor and Brady Lee Fox, ages 6, and 9, the first Negro pupils at Hammond Elementary School, were welcomed by their classmates, who were too young to have been imbued with “a dult” hate. In New York, the City Plann ing Commission urged the city to adopt a policy of concentrat ing major capital improvements in low-income areas and other neighborhoods of greatest need. The emphasis of the proposed AWE is shocking!

In Washington, the Shaw Ur ban Renewal Project was fund ed $325,000 by the U. S. De partment of Housing and Urban Development toward a $2.9 mil lion grant to plan a 145-block Project north of downtown Washington. Meanwhile, HUD was urged to halt urban renewal funds for Pulaski, Tenn. The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund charged that the project would amount to “Negro re moval." CONGRESSMAN (Contlnue-d from page 1) speech, before he bowed out, “All I hope is that you have a good night’s sleep tonight,” What the ousted-solon meant when he said, “I have a clear conscience” is also problema tic. It is heard in all quart ers that those who were without fault should have been the ones to cast the stones. Few people believe all congressmen are puritans and many believe that Powell could have stood cen sure, but guilty persons should not be allowed to pass judg ment on one, whose sins are practiced by them. The demonstration put on by Stokely Carmichael and his “Black Powe r ” adherents Isno deterrent to the wiuenmg turc es of understanding and peaceful existence in America, says one phase of American thinking. Perhaps the most hopeful are those who feel that the Investi gating committee will temper justice with mercy and permit him to take the oath after five weeks. The house then would decide by majo ri t y vote whether Powell should be permitted to take the oath of office for his 12th term. Although he did not say he was resigning from Congress, he told them that “I’m out as a congressman. Y'ou no longer have representation.” Speaking in measured ca dence' and hardly audible at times, he brought cheers when he denounced his fellow House members as “the biggest bunch of elected hypocrites in the his tory of the world.” “Today marks the end of the United States of America asthe land of the free and the home of the brave,” Powell declared. As for the 1968 election, he said, “it is just about decided. We may even start a third party.” The crowd began chanting “Adam for President, Adam for President.” Powell’s demise began when Rep. Lionel Van Deerlin, D~ Calif., objected to Powell’s taking the oath along with oth er House members. Under House rules, Powell automati cally was obliged to stand a side. After the others were sworn in, speaker John W. McCor mack recognized Rep. Morris Udall, D-Ariz., who pleaded that the House let Powell be seated during the investigation so his Harlem district would not go unrepresented. DELUXE CAB (Continued from page 1) rist Home, located at Jamaica and West Streets. McAllister says that when he reached the 100 block of S. West St„ the man sitting di rectly behind him sTapped his hand over his mouth and told him to pull over and give him his money, or he would blow his brains out. The surprised cab driver says he gave the man his wal let, containing about SSO, after he felt something pressing a galnst his neck. After taking the money the men got out of the cab and ordered him to drive away and as he did they fled. McAllister was never able to be sure about what it was that the man held against his neck. He described the man who was sitting on the right side, on the back seat, as wearing a hat, a field jacket and being about 6 feet tall. He said he weigh ed about 200 lbs and was of a medium light complexion. He was not able to get a good enough look at the man, who sat behind him and therefore could not give much of a de scription of him. OFFICER (Continued insm page X) They weni to Jones’ aid and succeeded in subduing Stroud. Stroud was taken to Wake Memorial Hospital, where it was found that he had received a cut on the head. Jones is said to have had several brusi es on his forehead and eyes. Stroud was charged with as sault on an officer and resist ing arrest.

ELKS (Continued from pat* 1) Civil Liberties Department IBPOE of The World 2515 Fayetteville Street Durham, N. C. Jan. 10, 1967 Dear Mr. N. C. Solon: This letter comes to inquire whether you have any Negroes attached to your office staff, in any capacity, and If so how many? We would further like to know if you would consider hiring qualified Negroes? North Carolina is moving up ward in the hiring of Negroes in many capacities and the Elks of the state are quite sure that you would favorably consider joining the ranks of this pro cession. Thanking you for favorable prompt consideration in this matter, we remain Yours for a better North Car olina, £ivil Liberties Department State Association of N. C. IBPOE of world Alexander Barnes, Director It is to be remembered that this department of the Elks spearheaded the fight to end se gregation on the railroads. The Rev. Alexander Moseley, now pastorlng Mt. Gilead Baptist Church, as head of the depart ment, during the beginning of the fight against discrimina tion, in the state, picked up the fight in behalf of a Negro WAC, who protested the prac tices of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, in the seating of Ne gro and white passengers and was taken off the train at Wel don. Rev. Moseley andtheElks were instrumental in taking the case to the United States Su preme Court and the result was that segregation, on common carriers, was abolished. The depart me nt, under Barnes, has carried on a re lentless fight against the Ku Klux Klan. Barnes visited the home of Grand Dragon, J. Rob ert Jones, Granite Quarry, and invited him to debate the Issues involved in civil rights, at a mass meeting, scheduled in Ra leigh, last May. It was the first invitation to Jones to come out in the open. He refused. Barnes felt that N. C. solons would reply favorably to his letter and plans to send every Elk lodge, in the state, in quest of qualified Negroes to recom ment to the law makers, in Washington. DURHAM (Continned from page X) Room 248-250, on the North Carolina State University cam pus. The public is invited. In the 103 years since Baha ‘u’ liah, Prophet - Founder of the Baha’i Faith, announced his mission to bring mankind God’s teachings for this day, Baha’s Faith has been es tablished in 309 countries and dependencies of the world. This Faith has taught, from its in ception, that there is one God, and mankind is one family meant to live together in mutual ap preciation, free from prejudice and animosity. Today, in more than 14,000 communities throughout the world, Baha’i from all racial and religious backgrounds live and work together, united by a common belief in the true path way having been pointed out to mankind by a succession of prophets from God. They be lieve these prophets to be iden tical in station and one in Spir it, with only the specific teach ings given for their own parti cular age showing any degree of difference. Baha’is believe the most re cent Prophet from God, Baha ‘u’ Ilah, (whose name mean “The Glory of God)”, has of fered a set of priilciples which will assist humanity to estab lish lasting peace in this twen tieth century. It is to honor these principles, particularly the concept of the “oneness of religion and of mankind” that Baha’is have set aside World Religion Day. LOW-INCOME (Continued from page X) pastoral group. Kev. Hutchi son explained the purpose of the meeting. Acting as moderator, Rev. Ward introduced a battery.of speakers. The need for low income housing, in Raleigh, was discussed by Harry Archer, vice president of Cameron- Brown Mortgage company, in charge of special projects. Mr, Archer gave the group the benefit of surveys, which he used to prove the need for housing in Raleigh. He said thereare 215 new units, 441 under construction, 6,859 families now occupy a partments, there are 194 va cancies and 432 apartments, un der construction. He pointed to the need for adequate loca tion, and cited two such pro jects in North Carolina. One is located in Durham. It was sponsored by a Lincoln Hospital organization Greensboro is the other city to have a 221-d-3 project. He told the group the money Is a vailable, with the special 3r Interest rate, offered by the federal government tonon-pro fit groups to build low income housing projects. John W, Winters, realtor, builder, and councilman, spoke to the same subject of the hous ing need in Raleigh. Included among his comments were the following: Beginning with per sons warning him nine years ago, that people who are going to own homes, have already built them. However, he prov ed this far short of accurate through such projects as Ma donna Acreas, Cedar wood Country Estates, which this company built, Walnut Terrace, Blltmore Hills, many fine homes In Lincoln Court. East Martin Street, along with scores of other houses spotted through out East Raleigh and Oberlin. He said that there are apart ment rentals as high as $250 per month here in Raleigh and that there is need for $63-S7O per month rental units here. He cited some 3,000 houses with Inadequate heating systems and over 1100 houses with in adequate plumbing. He said to the ministers, “For God’ssake get on the Housing Authority to force them to get on with the 500 public housing units.” These units rent from $24 to S4O per month. The group was in/ormed that there are some 200 families on the wait ing list for low Income housing now. Speaking next was Luther Hodges, consultant on 221-d --3 housing executive secretary of State Planning Task Force, State of North Carolina, Ra leigh. Mr. Hodges spoke to the subject: “What is 221-d-3 Hou sing”? He told the group, step by step, what was. necessary to effect such a program here by such a sponsoring group. Citing no money was needed he nonetheless cautioned the need for good people from the several churches to sponsor, manage and accept all the re sponsibility as a corporation. He suggested that each church select 3 members, on advise of the trustee boards, to serve in forming the corporation, as in dividuals must constitute the corporation and hot the church es. During his discussion, it was brought out that a 50-unit project costing some $500,000 was feasible. The loan of this money is for 49 years and no less than 20 years, at an in terest rate of 3% per annum. Mr. Hodges was accompanied by Attorney Jas. H. Walker, legal adviser to N. C.

Our edu cational set-up creates visions of big desk and swivel chairs, and white collars and the easy life. Too many Negroes are still dreaming of getting something for noth ing! Too many still despise humble hard work—their only hope of survival. Like Jeremiah of old, who has been called the “weeping prophet,” this writer has been pleading with Negro leadership for a program. Marching and demon strating and singing “We’ll Overcome” with rioting on the side, may have their places, but these in themselves do not make a program. While these may make of a few Negroes heroes of the hour, they do not reach the seat of our trouble Now comes one Reverend Mr. Sulhvan of Philadelphia with a program that works and is workable! It is doing w'onders in a quiet way for Philadelphia, and the thing is spreading from city to city. Even here in Richmond, Va. the plan has caught on and the best Negroes are be hind it! It is as simple as getting the Ne gro masses prepared for taking advantage of the opportunities already beckoning for takers, with no colored person barred. The Sullivan Plan starts at the beginning and nl- Also appearing as a speaker was prof. Glen Mills of the School of Design, N. C. State University. He said that his department would look with favor upon such project and students would cooperate. Dr. Paul Johnson, pastor and host of, Martin Street Baptist Church, talked briefly on the “Role of the Church in the 221-d-3 housing.” He chided the assembly to have confidence in their respective churches and their people by telling a story of a coach and his third-string quarterback. This amusing sto ry brought relaxed laughter and made his point. Rev. Collins Kilburn, pastor, United Church of Raleigh, spoke briefly on “Where do we go from here?” Question and comments from laymen, decision on next step, adjournment and prayer com pleted ttie evening. Church congregations are to be briefed on the proposals of the five ministers and a sub sequent meeting is to be held Feb. 3 at the Martin Street Baptist Church. OBITUARIES MR. MOSSITT WILLIAMSON Mr. Mossitt Williamson died at the Sampson Memorial Hos pital Jan. 5 at 11:15. Funeral services were con ducted Sunday, Jan. 8 at An drews Chapel Baptist Church with his pastor, the Rev. N. C. McNair, officiating. Surviving are a wife, Mrs. Hattie L. Williamson of the home; five daughters, Mrs. I rene Carraway and Mrs. Sarah Davis, of Fayetteville; Mrs. Hattie Williamson, Newark, N. J.; Mrs. Naomi Gibson, Ger many; and Mrs. Frances Mc- Cleary of the home; five sons, Alfonza and Lionel of Clinton; Ceasar of Philadelphia, Pa.; Troy of Newark, N. J.; and Mossitt Jr. of the home; three brothers and seven sisters. MRS. MARTHA STEVENSON Mrs. Martha Stevenson, of EDITORIAL (Continued from page 1) works on the fundamentals of prepara tion to go along with agitation. The great mystery in the situation is how quiet our leaders are on the Sullivan Plan. Os j course, the Reverend Mr. Sullivan has not stolen the headlines and his work lacks publicity, but he has something that the situation is yearning for —a plan or a program. If the program-less so-called leaders would subordinate their personal ambitions for notoriety and newspaper headlines and fall in behind the Sullivan Plan, we would soon be ready to move off and on with the matter of integration. What Mr. Sullivan is doing and trying to do must precede integration and not fol low; it as some seemingly falsely presup pose. Let the Negro Press cry out for a Sullivan Plan for every Negro communi ty. Let the Negro pulpit cry out for a Sullivan Plan. Let our bankrupt leader ship come out of hiding and get behjnd a man with a plan. If the eenrgies of the NAACP and the Urban League could be thrown into the scheme of popularizing the Sullivan Plan, they would be doing a man with a plan. If the energies of the leaders too pompous and proud to sup port a man with a plan? The Negro race is dying at the roots for a program. Negro leaders, fall in behind the Sullivan Plan or bring something better! GOING TO SERVE - Evange list, Sister Martha Link, 1204 S.
