Calls For Strict
Enforcement of
Rights Laws
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The
National Young Democrats
Convention's call for more vig
crous enforcement of current
r:vil rights laws and the pas
sage of additional legislation
•vas hailed as "an excellent
summary of America's unfin
ished business in assuring that
equalitly and dignity can be a
living reality for all Ameri
cans," by Congressman John
Ccnyers, Jr. (Dem-Mich.) in a
speech prepared for delivery
in the House of Representa
tives. Last week's Young Dem
ocratic Convention in New
York City fulfilled the special
assignment given to them by
Vice-President Humphrey in
h's speech to the convention
of being the conscience of the
national Democratic Party so
proud and self-satisfied."
The Young Democrats' con
vention declared that the slow
implementation of the Voting
Rights Act of 1965 has not met
"the high standards established
by President Johnson and the
Congress" and called upon the
Justice Department to use its
extensive powers to appoint
Federal Voting registrars "in
all the many counties where
Americans are still denied the
right to vote." Charging that
racial bias in some Southern
state courts "denies the equal
protection of the laws," the
Young Democrats called for
new legislation to make racial
violence a Federal crime. The
Young Democrats further urg
ed the full enforcement by all
Federal agencies of the 1964
Civil Rights Act requirement
that Fed. funds be withdrawn
from segregated programs and
urged President Johnson to
extend the fair housing execu
tive order so as to eliminate
racial discrimination in all
types of housing.
Mrs. E.W. Keith
Victim of 'Old
Money Trick'
Mrs. E W. Keith of 901
Price Street found out some
hours later that she
had been fiimflammed out $lB,-
000 after she gave this amount
to t**o women who approached
her about 1 p.m. here Tues
day afternoon.
Investigating detective, John
Lynn quoted Mrs. Keith as say
ing she was stopped by a Ne
gro woman while she was
shopping in the basement of a
department store. The strang
er told Mrs. Keith she had
iust found $20,000 which was
to be mailed to Cuba.
While they talked, another
Negro woman came up and
said she had been by
"Mr. Crane" to divide the
money.
The two unidentified women
offered Mrs. Keith a share of
the money if she would put
up some of her money to show
her interest. Mrs. Keith then
took a taxi home and got $lB,-
000 which belonged to her,
her sister and her husband and
returned to the store to give
the women the money.
After she turned the money
over to the flimflamers, they
promised to return in a few
minutes to share the money
with her. Mrs. Keith waited for
some time before she realized
she had been tricked in what
police called the biggest flim
flam act in Durham County.
The search for the two un
identified women was still un
derway at press time.
