CHAIHLOTTE—“There are no
problems in American life that
can’t be solved by Intelligent
application of creative energy
in the nation’s economic Und
political 8'reas, according to At
lanta banker Lorimef D. Milton.
He is president of the Citizens
Trust Co.
Milton made the remarks as
a part of his dedicatory address
for the new Charlotte branch of
the Mechanics and Farmers
Bank across from the John8on>
C. Smith University campus last
Sunday. Mechanics and Farmers
president John Wheeler in-
trodu»d Milton to and overflow
audience representing business
and educational interest^ aieross
the nation.
Urging the nation’s youth to
“live your dreams in the clouds
and make them realities,” Mil
ton said the bank and the in
surance company (N. C. Mutual)
that Qccupia the second floor
reprinted "dreams translated
Into realities.” Suqh dreams and
realities are the products of
hard work, nrtlwc than chance,
he said. Milton admonished tiiat
noUiing worthwhile comes free.
Business has a great role to
play in improving communities
by a wise use of money fn ivest-
ments, he said. Business is also
a two ’way street, he pointed
out, and he stressed the neces
sity of understanding the
economy that in America con
tinues to operate und^ the free
enterprise system.
“Moce of us must understand
the workings of the American
economy and we must use an
intelligent application of our
creative energies to play the
game as is should t>c played.”
Politics and the economy are
hand in glove and practical men
must play lx>th, Milton stated.
Acquiring the broad intel
ligence to solve our racial and
national ills will not come from
narrow academic specialization.
Rather, It will come from broad
ly educated minds steeped in the'
humanistic tradition of dis
ciplined thinking.

ictibn On
Theater Issue
Aifembers of the Durham
YoUtriaa Cdnege Chapters of
the NAA£JP said here this week
that they “vrill hot He deceived
with The Cardliiia' IMater’*
management atteini>ts to (i^olong
negotiations, nor will they be
deceived by the City Council’s
diplomatic attempts to pass the
buck” on the theater segrega-
ion policy.”
At a meeting of the youth
and college chapters "Tuesday,
youth leaders contended that de
spite their attempts tdlnegotiate
peacefully with the management
of the Carolina 'Theater, they
expect no positive results. They
also contended that the City
Council it taking a “middle of
the road” position in the situa
tion.
The mass meeting came the
day following City Council meet
ing where the youth group
sought aid from the Council in
getting the segregated policy of
the theater wiped out.
At Monday night’s Council
meeting, the law making body
went on record “as not opposing
integration of the Carolina
Theaiter" and "respectfully re
quested” the management to
negotiate the matter through the
Mayor’s ConmUttee on Human
Relations.
City Atty. Claude Jones, when
asked tor an opinion by the
councU, said the city has no
authority to amend its lease with
the operators of the city-owned
theater to fo^ a change in the
manacement’s policy.
iHe added that if the courts
should decide the theater is a
"state action” rather than a
private operation, its operation
on a segregated basis would be
prohMted by the 14th amend
ment of the Constitution.
“In either case,” he said, “it
is my opinion the city cannot
take any effective action, sincc
in the first case it ha.s no
authority and in the second any
city action would not be need
ed.”
