Cato Reaves Viet Nam Hero GREENSBORO—An Air Force pilot and A&T State University alumnus, who was decorated for combat duty in Viet Nam, was recently honored by the City of Greemboro. First Lieutenant Cato Reaves, a native of nearby Pittsboro, and who in the short span of seven months in Viet Nam, re ceived the Distinguished Flying Cro«s, the Air Force Commen dation Ribbon and the Air Med al with three clusters, was giv en the golden key to the city. The presentation was made by Greensboro Mayor Carson Bain in ceremonies at Greens boro City Hall. On hand to wit ness the presentation was Wm. B. Little, executive vice-presi dent of the Greensboro Cham ber of Commerce. Lt. Reaves, now stationed with the Air Defense Command at Suffolk County Air Force Base, Westhampton, Long Island, N. Y., was in Greens boro participating in the New Career Opportunities Confer ence at A&T State University. Out of the 133 combat mis sions (100 over North Viet Nam, and 33 over South Viet Nam) Lt. Reaves is proudest of the one he conducted alone, which incidentally earned for him the Distinguished Flying Cross. A Marine detachment, sta tioned near Khe Sanh in South Viet Nam, had" bscn encircled' and pinned down with close range fire by Viet Cong forces. The enemy, at some points, had penetrated within 20-yards of American forces. Because of the necessity of pin-point accuracy, Lt. Reaves was given the single plane as signment, with a second plane flying cover, to destroy enemy forces to permit escape for Ma rines. The mission was successful ly accomplished without casual ty to friendly forces and the Marines were able to withdraw to safety. Lt. Teaves, a 1964 graduate of A&T State University, com pleted basic flight training un der the ROTC program in hir senior year. He continued Air Force flight training at George Air Force Base, Calif, where he was named in his graduating class as "Top Pilot" for excel lence in flying and academic courses, and "Top Gun" for superiority in accuracy in gun nery and bombing, very rarely given to one pilot in a single class. He is married to the former Miss Elaine Crawley of South Boston, Va., also a graduate of A&T State University.

William J. White, of Hemp stead, long Island, a Negro and a major in the U. S. Army Re serve now employed by an elec tronics corporation, compared firearms registration laws to the poll tax. He said: "Although the Negro had the same right to vote as any other American citizen, the power structure knew that few Ne groes would pay the poll tax to vote and that those few who tried could be prohibited from actual voting in a number of ways. If there were reason to believe that the issuance of oermits to purchase. or keep firearms would be on a non discriminatory basis, like auto mobile driving permits, the pro posed anti-gun laws could be considered as just another nuis ance. But experiences in the American past do not support this." "Anti-gun measures would have the effect of disarming the American citizen in general and the Negro in particular," Major White said. Several cities and states have gun registration laws that re quire a permit for a citizen to purchase or possess firearms, and msfriy jurisdictions require permits to carry guns. Almost all require the owner to prove to the satisfaction of the regu latory authority his need to carry a gun before a permit to carry can be obtained.

White said. He pointed out that the FBI Uniform Crime Report shows that 54% of U.S. murder victims last year were Negroes, and that they are also victimized in other crimes. •L a w-abiding Negroes are likely to flock to register their guns rather than risk be- Continued on page 6B § THESE ARE FACTS ' BUYING OR SELLING The money you are paying for rent could be used lo make monthly pay ments on a home of your own.
