Chairman UF
Agencies Group
William A. Clement, agency
vice-president of North Caro
lina Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
and a member of the United
Fund Executive Committee and
Board of Directors, has been
appointed as chairman of the
United Fund agencies group of
the 1967 campaign. His appoint
ment comes from Thomas M.
Patrick, Chairman of the Spe
cial Division.
"Mr. Clement is very know
ledgeable about the United
Fund agencies and their staffs,
and has agreed to discuss with
them their responsibility to the
campaign even though they are
employees of the agencies pro
viding services," said Mr. Pat
rick. "He is a loyal supporter
of federation himself and un
derstands the purposes and
functions of the agencies and
the services they provide our
community."
Traditionally one of the first
groups of any UF campaign to
reach its quota, the Agencies
Group execeeded its goal last
year and raised $2,409. The
group includes only the staffs
of local agencies.
A native of Charleston, South
Carolina, Mr. Clement was edu
cated at Avery Institute in
Charleston and Talladega Col

TREASURY OFFICIAL
Calls For Positive Action Of
Banks In Hiring Of Negroes
Wallace Urges
Fair Policies In
Emplopent
WASHINGTON, D. C. As
sistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Robert A. Wallace this
week told bankers they must
take "positive action" to hire
Negroes in order keep deposits
of Federal money.
He said that positive action
meant "applying controls over
personnel actions that are nor
mally applied to any program
that you want to succeed," in
cluding clear statements in
writing, frequently reiterated to
recruitment sources, that the
bank follows equal employment
policies; recruitment among
minority groups; help-wanted
advertising in minority group
publications as well as the gen
eral press; contact with local
schools to establish needed
courses, and periodic review of
minority employees' records to
see that they can reach their
highest capability.
Speaking before the Ameri
can Bankers Association Con
vention in New York, Mr. Wal
lace blamed the fact that there
are not many Negroes employ
ed by banks on "following the
same old recruitment practices
which have become a matter of
habit over a period of many
years." He said "this type of
picture can be changed by posi-

Walkout Staged In
Protest of President
Jas. Nabrit's Speech
WASHINGTON, D. C. The
1 0 0-year-old Howard Univer
sity, long a citadel of modera
tion has split sharply over the
Black Power issue, which pre
cipitated the dismissal of 21
professors and students this
summer.
Last week as Howard's presi
dent, Dr. James M. Nabrit, Jr.,
was addressing the student
body and faculty of the univer
sity, a band of students and
professors walked out in pro
test of Dr. Nabrit's stand on
the Black Power issue.
In a speech to the 11,000-
member student body, Dr. Na
brit strongly sanctioned the
goals of the Black Power advo
cates, but objected to the meth
ods being used to obtain those
goals.
The 66-year-old university
president told the students:
» "There is a spirit of revolt
at work which will not be satis
fied until a new order is estab
lished," he declared. "It is un
fortunately true that Negroes
have not reaped the full har
vest of their expectations."
This apparently did not pla
cate the university's increasing
number of Black Power advo
cates who walked out on Dr.
Nabrit's speech and assembled
outside of Howard's Crampton
Hall to hear dismissed profes
sor and avowed Black Power
advocate, Dr. Nathan Hare. Dr.
Hare declared:
"We've put up with this slave
plantation for 100 years. Pro
test and rallies are not enough,"
he continued, "you got to close
down this place, and every stu
dent and faculty member who

Ben Ruffin, Executive Direc

challenged members of the
white community to do their
"homework" on the problems
that confront the Negro in
Durham, and to "speak up and
speak out now, or forever
hold your peace." In a speech
Monday evening to members of
the Durham Council on Human
Relations, Ruffin asked how
many of them subscribe to the
Carolina Times. "How else can
you learn what's going on with
the Black Man?", he asked. He
instructed them to visit the
Hayti haunts of the Durham
Negro, "to get to know the
Black community and its prob
lems", and to speak out in sup
port of Negro protest.

CONTROVERSIAL
SITE HANDED TO
CITY COUNCIL
Another step toward the de
velopment of a "ghetto" in
southeast Durham was taken
Monday by the Durham Hous
ing Authority. The DHA has
executed a letter of intent in
which it guarantees that the
Housing Authority will com
plete negotiations to purchase
200 housing units that the West
minster Co., Inc. proposes to
build. The letter is still sub-
ject to the approval of the At
lanta regional housing office.
The Bacon Street Project will
be located on a twenty acre
tract near McDougald Terrace
that was annexed by the city
a few weeks ago, but action to
rezon« the area must yet be
taken if the apartments are to
be built. Thus, final clearance
to proceed with the project
rests in the hands of the Dur
