Durham Gty Council Approves
Request For Relations Committee
An interracial committee de-,
signed to handle any problems
arising in relations between the
races has been approved for for
mation by the Durham City
Council.
The move came at the Coun
cil's regular Monday night meet
ing.
Actually, the Council was ac
ceding to a request by a group
of prominent citizens who pe
titioned the Council to set up>
Nixon Okavs
WASHINGTON, D. C.
In a suii>rlse answer to a plot
by Georgia segrtgatlonists to
move a Negro fMpj|3r...the larger
the better—^into a restricted resi
dential area where Vice Presi
dent Dick Nixon lives—sources
close to Nixon gave out the re
port that “be wouldn’t care less.”
It was also understood that Nix
on would personally welcome
such an additi(Hi to the nel^bor-
hood. This . bit of informatlott
will no doubt surprise the Geor
gia groiq> who eocpected Nixon to
be publiclj^ embarrassed.
Headed by Georgia State Rep.
A. A. Fowler, in Atlanta, the
idea of the American Resettle
ment Foundation is to seek;
swanky northfem neighborhoods
for southern Negroes and charge
as low as fl.OO per month. They
choose Negro families with 10
or 12 kids and buy property la
the most exclusive Kctlon of the
country.
Fowler is quoted as saying this
idea will give the country’s lead
ing integratlonists a chance to
practice “some of the mixing
they have been preaching." If
the deal goes through, plans are
to settle the Negro family in thci
new house within 60 days. Lea
ders of the Resettlemmt Foun
dation include Roy V. Harris,
one of the lirfggest segregation
powers in the South.

Halt To Demand
For Little Rock
Records Asked
LITTLE ROCK, ARK.
NAACP attorneys have filed a
complaint In the United State*
District Court here asking for ui
order to restrain several Liti^0
Rock officials from demanding,
the records of the Little Rock
NAACP branch.
The aUorneys are Robert L.
Carter of New York, the Associ
ation’s general counsel, and
George Howard, Jr., of Pine
Bluff, Ark.
The NAACP docimi«nt filed
on Oct. 28, asks the federal court
to issue a restraining order on
the basis that the local ordinance
requiring such information from
the NAACP branch is “an un
constitutional violation of the
due process and equal protection
clause of the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the United States Con-
such a committee.
The petition was signed by SO
Durhamltes who were described
as “leading citizens.”
The establishment of such a
committee to deal with prob'
lems arising .in race relatione
will be a first for Durham. It
a step that has been long advo
cated by many i>ersons of vari
ous points of view.
In voting to set up the c«m->
mittee, the Council set forth
three rather general purposes for
the body which are presumed, to
be the l^lts of its authority.
They are as follows:
1. To help each race to know
and understand the problems of
the other so that they can meet
on common grotmd to solve cur
rent problems.
