ATTORNEYS (CONTINUED TROM PAGE l) They quoted fiqures that showed hat the trend away from enter ing the field of law that the num ber now taking law was less than the number recorded in 103 d. They attributed this to many things. They pin-pointed the fact that many blacks who had thought of entering the profession had boon discouraged and even frigh'oned by both parents and friends, on advice that the black lawyers and that matters of im portance could be handled by oth er lawyers due to the fact that there was a fraternal ism enjoyed that the black lawyers did not enjoy. The Durham Branch, NAACP, went on record to support a re cruitment program, among blacks, to remedy this situation. It was also revealed that the dearth is so serious that it is very hard to moot the demand, where appointments are con cerned. It was pointed out that wherever black lawyers have been put in responsible positions they have wrought well. It was pointed out that the one black magistrate, in Durham Everything For...

The four members Claude Currie, Kenneth Royal, George Miller and Willis Wichard wore sought, but to no avail. There was much eyebrow raising, due to the fact that they were almost always on hand when they were campaign ing. It was noted that there was an election in 1072 and that these servants would have given the people of Durham County a report on their stewardship If they wanted to return to Raleigh.

On Monday night, the several committees made their respec tive reports. The report on stu dent involvement was the first heard. Many felt that it did not lend much hope. It contained a paragraph which said that there should be a meeting of black stu dents and black teachers to chart a special course for black students. There were quite a few who did not go along with this i dea, due to the fact they felt that it did two things - it pointed up the fact that both races were In volved and that any special black meeting would not bo in the best interest of all concerned. It is said to have also pointed up the fact black teachers would be put on the spot by black students. It was apparent that there was a black student report and a white student report. The chairman of the white student committee was reported as being out playing baseball, which meant there was no report from the white com mittee. The report on the merger of the two systems had good billing, but much conjecture. The matter of money to aid the crowded coun ty condition seemed to l>e the real problem. It resolved around a bond issue that has been kicked around for some considerable time. The report carried some salient proposals, which the committee felt should I*> used as yard sticks to determine the fate of the merger and the l>ond issue. There w ere those who felt that the voters of the city and county should have an opportuni ty to vote on the two separately. There were others who felt that the two were so closely allied that they could not l>e separated. There was also the belief that there were certain legal embar goes [nit on by the legislature that could not be lifted until a vote was taken. The committee went into ses sion after adjournment and kick ed the whole matter around and finally came up with the concen sus that it should lx? a continu ing - committee. It was also a- Mkl 828-9317 For W#»eK »;| kett MrWct, Ets« Meeting Oil Btut Oil lurntr Service, CAPITAL FUEL OIL ! ICE & COAL CO. greed that its report lie submit ted to the Durham City Board of Education and that it In turn invite the Durham County Board of Education to Join it in a meet ing, to w hich the citizenry of the Durham community would be privileged to attend. There was also a report to the administrators that ranged from charges of maladministration to the hiring of teacher aides and consultants, with more partici pation, on the part of parents, on the administration level. The two superintendents Lew Hannon and Charles Chewning accepted the proposals rather good natur edlv and said that even though there was some misinformation in them they were glad to get them and would review them thoroughly. The committee on violence had It hands full. They toyed with security, bodily contact, student assault, teacher assault and cor poral punishment. It finally came up with the idea that no student or teacher be suspended for vio lence until the case had been heard by,.a tribunal to which an appeal could be made within five days after sentence was passed by principal. This too was re ferred for study. It was the general consensus that something had been accom plished and in the words of Mrs. Thelma Leonard, State Depart ment of Education, “The Power was in the hands of Durham ci tizens.'’ J. E. BURKE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE l) ministration at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Burke began his teaching ca reer in Proctorville in 1933 at the high school there. He also taught math and science and coached both the baseball and basketball teams. In 193 G, he went to Central High School, Whiteville, where he again taught math and coached base ball and basketball. In 1960, he came to Raleigh and taught at Ligon from that time until 1964, at which time he be came assistant principal. A resident of 904 Hadley Road, Mr. Burke is married to the former Miss Doris McLean ol Lumberton. They are the pa rents of two children, Ronald 7, and Marcilynn, two and one-half years of age. Mrs. Burke is a teacher at Carroll Junior High School here. Other changes in principal ships made were as follows: Mrs. Mlnetta B. Gaylor Eaton, former principal of Thompson Elementary School, will become the new head of W. H. Fuller Ele mentary School in Rochester Heights, while Alfred Perry, former principal at Fuller, will take the helm at Clarence Poe Elementary School in the Apol lo Heights area. John Mallette will succeed James W. Eaton as principal of Washington Elementary School. Many black assistant principals were named mostly at white high and junior high schools. In other action, officials of the School Board assured parents of both races that their children would be treated fairly, no mat ter which school they would be reassigned to. New assignments for senior and junior high schools will be mailed by Monday, August 2, and to elementary school pupils no later than Thursday, August 5. Schools will lx> open for one week for parents desirous of knowing what the school will be like where their children will be spending tho 1071-1972 school year. It was stressed that curricula and ex'ra-curricula activities in the new schools to which most Raleigh students will be bused, will be just the same, if possible, as in the schools they previously attended. Tho entire school board was present at the meeting. Several spectators were on hand, one of whom challenged the board for not appointing a black principal for either of the city \s three senior high schools particularly Sanderson High. The next Ixratd meeting will be held in August at a time to be announced. ONE SHOT (CONTINUED FROM RAGE 1) Battery Drive, reported to Of ficer F. L. Rountree at 12:13 p.m. Sunday, that he and John Utley, 60, 110 Battery, “had been laugh ing, talking and drinking all morning at my house.’ - Stewart further informed the officer that neither he nor Utley had had any argument whatever, 4 ‘when all of a sudden,” Utley Is alleged to have gone into St ewart’s house, procured a shot cun and came out shooting. Stewart, who was the target of Mr. Utley’s wrath, was struck in l>oth legs by shotgun pellets, from his own ,16 gauge double barrel shotgun, made by J. c. Higgins. Utley was charged with assault with a deadly weapon-inflicting serious injury. He was taken to Wake County Jail to face a Wake County District judge sometime this week on the charge. Utley is no stranger to the Ra leigh Police Department, having a record that dates Kick for some years, according to re cords and files of the City-Coun ty Identification Department. Stewart did not have a prior lo cal record on file. PORT CITY (CONTINUED FROM FA6K St own church. The church is known as the African Congregation of the Black Messiah. Ben Chavis, a community organizer for the North Carolina - Virginia Com mittee for Racial Justice, is the pastor of the church. Rod Kirby, a leader of (BY BBC) said, “We are trying to build our church around an Af rican nation and go back to our natural culture. Pastor Ben Chavis said, “The church has met limited success In its two short months of operation. He went on to ex plain how “white suppression” has brought on Black unity In the Black community of Wilmington, “They had no choice,” he said. “White were shooting at Black people on tho front por ches and sidewalks. In my mind, it was a victory - 26 whites were injured in contrast to only 4 brothers.” The Southern Christian Load er ship Conference (SCLC) lias been attacked for coming into the Wilmington area and “dividing the Black community to taking a soft stand on the issues,” Kir in said. “They make us all seem like racists, all out terrorist,” A BYBBC spokesman still says that their program re mains tho only one in the Black community organized locally and working towards unity and self-reliance. BYBBC “is not set up to solve Wilmington’s problems through Integration, but rather through setting up their own institutions in the Black community.” The response to this has been limited. BYBBC said, “It was only natural for a follow-up to give form to the struggle that the Black community Is con stantly a part of. “They had to go through that struggle first to see what they have to do on their own,” said MURDER TRY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) with a .32 calibre pistol. Fol lowing a preliminary investi gation of the shooting at the scene, Mr. Goodson was admit ted to Wake Memorial Hospi tal for treatment. Arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill was Mrs. Annie Williams Goodson, 24, same address. The incident, according to re ports, took place in Apartment 10 of the S. State Street house. Mrs. Goodson is lx?ing held in the Wake County Jail under a Kind of $2,000. She is ex pected to be given a prelimin ary hearing in the shooting as soon as the victim is able to testify. TWO SOLONS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) continued, “is dealing with the restoration of citizenship to prisoners. The bill makes it easier for the prisoners to retain their citizenship upon recommendation of the proper authorities,’ - he added. In conclusion Johnson termed this session as a joyous, coop erative, and marvelous experi ence. Rep. Henry Frye, D-Guilford, cited Johnson’s bill on equal employment as a major accom plishment in this session of the General Assembly. Frye intro duced anti-single shot voting legislation, but it was defeated. One of the biggest disappoint ments in this session would have to be the defeat of the bill that would abolish the death penalty, he said. This is Frye's second session and he said this has definitely been a good one. Frye would not speculate on his future political plans. Both Frye and Johnson left Raleigh last week after the final legislative session on Wednes day. The General Assembly’s next session will convene In October PRISONS IN (CONTINUED FROM PAGR 1) ther -- The Prison Letters of George Jackson.” He was inter viewed by TedSzulc, a Washing ton correspondent of The New York Times. An article based on the visit with Jackson will lx? published in the New York Times Magazine on Sunday, August 1. Jackson and two defendents, charg'd with the killing of a white guard atSolodad Prison on January 16, 1969, are scheduled to go on trial in San Francisco August 9. Jackson faces a death sentence if found guilty. He has spent the last 11 years serving an indeterminate one vear-to-lifc sentoco after being found guilty in a S7O robbery of a Los Angeles gas station five days lxjfore his 19th birthday. Blacks, Jackson told Szulc, en ter prison as “right wingers” because of their cultural back grounds and that politicized black prisoners immediately fo cus on the new arrivals because “we attempt to transform the black criminal mentality Into a black revolutionary mentality,” “The Blacks are fast losing the last of their restraints. Growing numbers of blacks are openly passed over when paroles are considered. They have become aware that their only hope lies in resistance... Most of today’s black convicts have come to un derstand that they are tho most abused victims of an unrighteous order. Up to now, the prospect of parole has kept us from con fronting our captors with any real determination, - ’ Jackson said v a , Efforts to prevent politicizing are being made by prison admi nistrators who agree that the Black Panthers are organizing in a vast number of penal insti tutions, Szulc reports. Jackson charged prison ad- ministrators who agree that the mtnistrators with fomenting some of the unrest between Mack and white prisoners to start trouble and quell efforts lo unify the twq group? He also said that right-wing orientation among “poor white” convicts Is being fueled by prison authori ties. Contributing to tho increasing politicization of prisoners, the Szulc article reports, is a grow - ing alliance between them and outside activitists as well as o pinion among others--radicals, idealogically motivated lawyers and crlminologists--that most crimes in the United States are essentially social and political in nature. SURVEY TO (CONTINUED FROM FAG* 1) need for them.” “During the bus strike, there was a great need for taxi cabs,” Mr. Martin dec’ ired. “How ever, since the strike ended, there is no great need for ad ditional cabs.” He said that Sunrise Cab Company wr?'-- the last to receive a franchise - two years ago. Representing two of the ma jor taxi companies in Raleigh were the owners of the fleets. They explained how they were losing money by having to “lav off’/ employees because there is no gloat call for cabs at this time. Mr. Peacock told a CARO LINIAN newsman Monday after the meeting, “I have to pay S2O per week for each of the two rabs I have oil the Cardin al line as do all of the other private owners. This amounts to $1,040 per year. Plus there is always the upkeep on the cars.” Daniel L. Hooker, Black owner and operator of United Cab Company, also appeared at the session. He told the body, “I am against more taxi fran chises in Raleigh, but not against the individual involved. I jut had to park two of four cabs last week lx>eause of a lack of busi ness.” Peacock, who requested to be heard last said, “I am not creating more ears, because I’m already operating two of them from the Cardinal line.” No date for the Law and Finance Committee’s survey was announced by Chairman Lightner as the matter" \tas closed. The Rev. J. 11. Bryant, pro prietor of Cardinal Cab, was contacted by this newspaper for comment. He said: “I am with the Association (local taxi cab drivers) on one side of the street.

City attorney Donald Smith, who sat in on the session, as sured Lightner that no prece dent had been sot for the action which was being sought by Mr. Peacock. “The difference as I see it,’ - said Smith, “is that a man may open a private busi ness without too much trouble. But when a taxi fleet owner wants to go into business, he must use the streets of Raleigh and the City Council’s job is to govern any business which ust>s the public streets of our city for its operations."
