Escort Turns On Companion (I RETURN POSTAGE GUARANTEED t V0LUME;3S—NUMBER 30 DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA, SATURDAY, JULY 2S, IfM PRICEi It tftNTS Negroes Voluntarily In Jlmcro Schools - Hodgef Several N.C. Cities Mix, Governor Says LOS ANGELES, Calif.—North Carolina's Governor Luther Hodges told a civic group here this week that the vast majority of Negro school children In North Carolina are attending segregat ed schools voluntarily. Hodges made the speech in one of his first public utterances on returning from a trip to Moscow which he made with several other American governors. The address- was made before the luncheon meeting o^ Town Hall, a civic prganization here. The Governor's statement on North Carolina's handling oi the school desegregation iiroblem came as he defended the southern IMint of view on racial questions and prai««d Jbi9- iMit ,handttag «f the problem. “So far; North Carollna'ii ap proach of moderation in dealing with the school desegregation problem has operated satisfactori ly, he said. “Several of our cities hav^' vol untarily accepted Negro appli cants to white school although the are voluntarily attending their own public schools." Only three of North Carolina's 100 counties have admitted Ne groes to heretofore white schools. Suits for integration have been brought in six instances, in Bry son City, Raleigh, Montgomery County, Charlotte, Durham and at Old Fort. The Pearsall Plan, through which the state controls the rate of desegregation and limits it to a token amount, has been attacked since its inception by Negro lead ers throughout the sttae. Attorneys in both the Raleigh and Durham integi'ation suits have sought t? make the Pearsall Plan an issue in their cases. t bR.

On the question of public housing 'the fJew York ijovernor said in part: "I believe fevery American citizen should be able to live where his heart desires and his means permit." He went on to praise New York City’s la^y against. discri mination which went i«to effect in 1958 and stated it “has worked well” He called ori the state tp^^. adoipt its principils even-though alterations itiight be needed whefe state-wide var iations dictated." . .

Instead of praise several southern states have e:ven gone so fair as to ^nact I$ws prohibiting the organiiation from operating within their bor ders. By further contrast the N.XACP is not only welcome in northern and western states but 17 of them and 42 cities have northern anti-discrimiiiation laws which are in keeping with the program and objectives of the NAACP. We-wotth#Hrke to repeartiere a paragrq5tr^m~aTr eflToflat published in our July 11 issue in which we said ih part as follows: “ft ia hard to viaoalise what the United Stat«a woold have been, so far as its democivli'c prineiptes are cMieem- ed, had there been no NAACP to keep up a ccHitiiitioiis warfare to safeguard them. Even with an orcanizfttidli like the NAACP there have been times hi tU|Is tiotmti^ wh«H it appeared that the torch of democracy had been Miiffed out. When theae moments have arrived it has beeh the NAACP whith has held the line Aurmljr and kept AiniiHca s^fe for democracy, not only for Negroes but ftit itli Attilir- icans. Elsewhere in this issue of the Caroliha Times we hive re printed in full an editorial taken from the July 14 iss^le of the.
