PAGE TWO COUNCILMAN (CONTINUED FROM FACE 1) ham. As chairman of the DCNA he has long been recognized as one of the political powers in local poli tics. In his position on the State Democratic Executive Committee, he probably wields more influence in Democratic party circles than any other North Carolina Negro citizen. His bid for the City Council spot was Stewart's first try for public office. Tie had the endorse ment of the Committee which did not support Taylor, an Independ ent. who was one of the Commit ter's founders. Committee spokesmen credited their victory to "splendid coopera tion of Negro citizens anxious to cast their votes in democratic elect- j ions." A generally hostile press j and paid advertisements from re- ! betionary Caucasian elements j spurred Negro voters to almost un- ! precedentcd acth i(y.

RESTRAINT URGED {CONTINUED FROM PAGE V | , see the first volley fired in what • i North Carolina’s pupil assignment I j act declared illegal. Confronting the hoard is re j Iwo notices from Negro fami lies that they want their chil dren to attend white schools during the 1957-53 school j year. Schools Superintendent Ben L. Smith said this is the first time since the U. S. Su preme Court desegregation de cision lhat such a request has been made in North Caro lina's third largest city. However, Smith said neither of ; the requests made through At- | - torney J. Kenneth Lee have j been formal applications and that I tor this reason it appears doubt- i ful the board will consider the j actual notices tonight. Smith said that, after the board | ; makes its assignments in accord* i ance with the pupil assignment : I jaw enacted by the 1955 General ; | Assembly, any applications for! transfer or reassignment ± ould have to be made within 10 days : from the date of notification. Smith told United Press he did | I not know just, what the reaction ; j will be to such an integration at- j ! tempt. i "It ail depends on how the pec- s ; pie will take it." Smith said. I hope however that great, restraint will be exercised by those who desire desegregation and 1 hope that the white ! people will be willing to make some concessions and that, there will be conformity to the I due process of the law.” j Lee said that should the board i refuse to reassign the two stu ■ i dents as his clients ha.ve re ' j quested, his next step "vviii de* , i pend on tonight ’. If the board declines to ream 1 sign the pupils and dismiss a formal application, the door ' would still be open for an appeal | from the petitioners for a hearing i before the board, and then re i course to the courts.

Beam said Bagley had de manded the money under tin threat of "exposing a (tig scandal.” He said the victim turned the letters over to pos tal authorities who set a trap for the blackmailers. A bundle made up to look like money was left at the rendezvous place last month but was not picked up. Bag ley told officers he drove by the spot several times but was afraid to stop for the money. Orange County Sheriff Odell! Clayton said that he recognized Bag ley's car as one which drove • past ihe rendezvous several times : the first day the "money ’ was planted, Bagley wrote to the victim a gain demanding $55,000 and po lice again set a trap.

The management and players should remember, how ever, that a ball gam? that is prolonged and drawn out loses its apnea’ and teams that em ploy delaying tactics soon lose the support of the fans. Organ ized baseball can fill a great need here, but to gain and hold the support of the paying pub lic, games that was as long drawn out as the opening game last Monday night at Chavis Park, will keep ball ; fans out of the park. Our sug- j | gestion: make them good, short and snappy. The fans rannot sleep late the next morning as i th? ball players probably can. NEGRO BOY GRADUATES ! FROM CLINTON HIGH: It must j | be true that the world is more in- j : teres!cd in playing up the had. the j ] sordid and the wrong fhan in pay- ; | ing homage or even giving notice i to that which is good. Last fall the i press, radio and TV outlets devot- I ; <>d pages and hours to the racial | ! disturbances that marked the rn- j I trance of 12 Negro children to the j j high school at Clinton, Tenn. Last week, one of those Nr- j grocs, Rohhy Cain, along with eighty-eight white hoys and ] giris received a diploma from | that once embattled school The commencement which last ed only 70 minutes was order ly, quiet and as uneventful as i any other high school commen cement exercise. However. In as much as the graduation of Bobby Cain marked the posi tive achievement of a broader and more democratic Interpre tation of the rights and free dom of all Americans, there should have been an even larger gathering of newsmen to cover this event than were present to herald the troubles he encountered when he en rolled last fall. The graduation of Bobby l ain from Clinton High School was a mile stone that should be eommorated as a positive achievement of jus tice. If. was and is a direct slap in the face of all of those dir hard obstructionists who said it could not be done. ON THE', WAY? Tjie groundwork i for what could really mean the be ; ] ginning of public school Integra | ti°n in North Carolina has now i hern laid.
