WILLIB DOLPHUS BRKW- INGTON, EXECUTOR OF THE ESTATE OF MARY ELIZABETH BREWINGTON, M.^^G^TOOMPSON, ATTORNEY. -COMMITTEE- (Continued from Page One) Monday night lo endorse a candidate for the Third Ward. When the tempest finally sub sided, the vote for endorsement stood 31 for Harris, six for Tay lor and three for Mazyck. Taylor, who was the Commit tee’s choice for the Third Ward seat in 1951, denounced the committee’s action of endorsing one man and charged that a con spiracy had been set in motion against him because “some few people” didn’t like him. He charged further that one candidate (presumably Harris) withdrew his letter announcing his candidacy after learning that he (Tayloi) had entered the race, only to announce his candi dacy at the meeting Monday night. Taylor further charged that Mazyck was urged to enter the race for fear that there would be no other Negro candi date to oppose him. This, he al leged, savored of a deliberate at tempt to “gang up” on him. It became evident even to the most uninitiated that Harris would be the committee’s choice before the meeting was ten min utes old. The deliberations were shot through in countless in stances with “let’s do what we came here for and get this over with.” Only L. E. Austin, H. M. Mich- aux, N. B. White and perhaps Atty. C. O. Pearson urged that the committee not endorse any candidate but declare an open race. Pearson was stopped in the middle of his speech on a point of order. Austin* feared that the com mittee would do “irreparable harm to itself unless It declare an open race.” White asked the Committee to disregard its in structions to endorse only one man and allow the members of the committee to vote on the choice of an open race for all three or endorsement of one candidate. Pearson also seemed to fear that the committee might be doing harm by endorsing one man. C. C. Cobb, J. M. Husband, Atty. M. H. Thompson, and Rev. W. F. Cox were among those who chimed in for the commit tee to endorse only one man. Mazyck, who announced his candidacy to the assembled meeting second after Harris an nounced that he was in the race, appealed to the committee to "give labor a chance.” He point ed out that both Harris and Tay lor had been unsuccessful candi dates in previous elections. Harris, in a statement to the TIMES this week, outlined his platform as follows: “To diligently search for all the facts in any Diatter that has the consideration of the Council; to digest these facts and, aiming at all times to protect and promote the best interest of Durham’s cltlsens, draw the conclusion which it is believed would be drawn by any other honorable, logical and prudent man, and vote ac cordingly.” Harris was born in Abingdon, Virginia in 1900 and attended both Virginia Union in Rich mond and Northwestern Univer sity’s. School of Commerce in Chicago. He came to Durham 32 years years ago and Went to work for the Bankers Fire Insurance Com pany as a special agent. He has risen with the firm through the positions of managing tmder- writer, assistant secretary to his present position as vice-presi- dent-secretary. He is married to the former Miss Plassie Williams of this city and is a member of the St. Titus Episcopal Church here. NOMINATION BLANK I hereby Nominate As A Contestant In The Taxi /Vo.

If there are any bene fits to be derived from expendi tures, the President asserted, they should be shared by all citizens regardless of such in consequential factors as race or religion. Informed of President Eisen hower's statement, Mitchell said; “Segregation in schools on military posts is a problem that President EUsenhower can settle by calling the Pentagon on the telei^one. His forthright state ment gives reason to hope that by his next press conference, this disgraceful condition will be corrected.’’ The President ii^ructed Ws press secretary to make note of the question so that immediate inquiry could be made. The NAACP has for a long period sought federal action to elimate segregation in schools maintain ed by the government on milita ry posts in Texas and other southeern states. -VICTIMS- (Continued from Page One) dolph Durham, 24, who suffer ed broken legs, cuts and bruises.
