He is at present serving out the term of the late Governor Wil- liatn B. Umstead. The address was hailed by a majority of the state’s white press and public officials as a panacea for the so-called ills that have befallen the state since the rulings of the United States Supreme Court on segregation in the public schools. However, several white leaders of the state took the governor to task for the address which was labelled by one, a member of the Greens boro School-Board, as “ill-advis ed” so far as Negroes are con cerned. VEILED THREATS Although the State’s Chief Executive resorted to the worn out old play on words about Ne groes having “made the most astounding progress of any race in history,” liis address fairly reeked with attempts at in timidation of Negroes, contempt for the y. S. Supreme Court and veiled threats against the state’s one million Negroes who were left no alternative but accept ance of his proposal of a vol untary segregation plan. The Governor stated that if the choice of Negroes is for vol untary separate school attend ance, “you can count on at least as good an education for your children as they are getting now On the other hand U your answer is integration by force of law nobody knows how much edifcation the children of either race WiH'get . . . Certain it i», however, that the white citizens of this state will resist integra tion strenuously, resourcefully, and probably with growing bit terness.” ATTACKS NAACP The brunt of the attack of the vicious speech was borne by the National Association lor the Ad vancement of Colored People. The NAACP was pointed out as organlaaation "which seems de termined to destroy our inter racial itiendshlp and divide us into camps of racial antagon ism.” (Please turn to Page Eight) “I have been informed by re liable sources that the high command — which means tbe old ‘steam-roller’ created by the late J.

Murphy, Jr.,.‘top banana’ in the office of Brother Hueston, and who Is working night and day to help keep this Elk-exploiting officer in his present position.” Of course, if this is true one shoudd consider the source,” Anderson said, “and Mr. Mur phy, Jr. has a long record with the House Un-American Ac tivities Committee which should make the most harden person jump back in alarm.

Reynolds and others who were aspirants to Elkdom’s highest office feel about this knifing in the l>ack?” Anderson asked. Under present law Johnson must quit in 1956. In, 1952 when Jones stepped down at Atlantic City as a candidate fo'" Elks heao, he said he wdUld be back in I9S6. “His friend (?) Johnson, is now giving him the old heave- ho,”- Anderson said.
