AYDEN—The opening at the to
becce market ran a poor second to
the indictment and arrest of
erhool-principal, licensed-preacher
and general dynamo H. R. Reeves
for the alleged theft of $11,348.08
from tiie Free Will Baptist
Church of America
Reports have it that his handling
of funds for the demoninatlon ax
tended over a period at years and
that he had unlimited access to
said funds. He served as the ftoan
cial secretary fore number at
years and was later elevated to the
highest post in the church—gener
al moderator.
He first gave himself up to Pttt
County officials, due to the fact
that some of the money is believed
to have been diverted here. He
gave bond there and the next day
be went to Kinston and gave up.
This is believed to have been done
due to the fact that the warrant
charged that he had failed to ac
count for certain monies received
from the building that once housed
Kinston College, for many years
run by the denomination.
Mr. Reaves has been the prin
cipal of the Gritton Elementary
School for 30 years and is said to
have never been short in any of
his accounts. He got the becking of
D. H. Conley. Pitt County School
superintendent, who said that he
would not fire him and that his
record was one of honesty and loy
alty. He is the administrator of the

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Gov. Sanford made a move In
the right direction last week when
he publicly announced his Inten
tion to aet up an interracial com
mittoa that would try to work out
the perplexing problem of racial
discrimination In North Caroline
It la unquestionably true that
the governor's decision to appoint
this committee was based on his
desire to halt the entl-discrimina
tion demonstrations which have
recently been taking place in sev
eral North Carolina communities.
The governor had to be aware
of the fact that in the wake of In
discriminate arreete and jailing of
so called treepeseers, thousands of
the state’s Negro end white etti
zene could very well turn this state
into another Albany. Ga. as a CORE
official had warned.
It Is well and timely for this
committee, members of which have
not yet been announced, to pro
pose ways end means looking to
the end of racial discrimination In
public eating place*, but unless It
makes a study of and proposes
ways for the elimination of racial
discrimination in all affected areas,
particularly in employment, it will ;
nave failed to do the Job needing
to be done.
