Pratt checked in at the Daniel Boone Inn last night to attend a strategy meeting of key sup porters from Orange and Dur ham counties. "Our Country is in trou ble!" the peace candidate con tinued. "Our sons are being forced into military slavery and sent* to die In stinking jungles, ten thousand miles from home, in an undeclared no-win war that makes no sense and has no real justifica tion.

National Urban League Launches Drive For "New Look" At Old Problems Clarence Coleman Regional Director, Directs Task Force ATLANTA, Ga.-(Special) - The prospect of confrontation of a "long, hot summer" in the twelve Southern States containing approximately 85 per cent of this nation's Negro college students, may be eased by efforts of the National Ur ban League to take a "new look at an old problem" and answer some questions that have met blank walls where no guidance or hope has been gi ven. Worried adult and student leaders in such cities as Colum bia, South Carolina; Little Rock, Arkansas; and Augusta, Georgia can expect from the National Urban League more help than they have been get ting in the past, although Ur ban League officials have been busy in these and many other areas. The plan to beef up Urban League activities was born some time ago, when Whitney M. Young, Jr., Executive Di rector of the National Urban League, called for more "in volvement" in the problems of these Southern communities where he declared the growing number of educated Negroes "are asking questions that must be answered in if there is to be racial peace in Ameri ca." Young authorized his Sou thern Headquarters to establish a mobile task force to assess the extent of frustration and potential crises situation. COLEMAN ACTS FOR THE SOUTH Action was quickly begun by Clarence D. Coleman, upon whose shoulders the burden of most of this new effort falls. Coleman, Regional Director of the National Urban League, in command of fifteen League Affiliates in the Southeast, has long been pushing for just such a directive. See NUL page 10A j DURHAM, N. C.

H. (Lawrence) Fountain of Tarboro. Throughout the two-hours program there was hardly a weary listener. Perhaps it was because Negro history was be ing written anew in Tarheelia.

Supreme Court was asked to day to review and reverse an Alabama Supreme Court rul ing against the Rev. Fred L. Shuttlesworth. The Court was asked to decide whether Rev. Shuttles worth and 1500 Birmingham civil rights demonstrators can be convicted for parading with out a permit for their Easter week marches of 1963 In Bir- mingham. Attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. (LDF) argue that Rev. Shuttlesworth did not have to secure a permit be cause the parade ordinance on its face violated the Constitu tion. Rev. Shuttlesworth, the LDF argues, was entitled to ignore the permit requirement "because its grant of over broad discretionary licensing power rendered it patently of fensive to the First and Four teenth Amendments." Moreover, the attorneys add, if he had applied for a permit and it had been denied, "there were no Alabama pro cedures for effective and time ly administrative decision-mak ing and judicial review." Finally, it is argued, the ordinance Speaks of "parade" See SHUTTLESWORTH 10A National Exams Opposed By Negro Teachers WASHINGTON, N. C.-W. F. Veasey, Beaufort County Superintendent, Stated recent ly, that 'There is unrest among North Carolina teachers. Among several grievances are their feelings toward the Na tional Teachers Exams." When asked how local tea chers feel about these exams Veasey stated, "They are against them. This is particu larly true among Negro tea chers, so many of whom feel that the Nationals teacher exams are but another means of eliminating them from the teaching profession. . ." The following statement, based on a recent survey, pro jects the point of view of the Negro teachers particularly in the Beaufort County Unit of the North Carolina Teachers Association. Negro teachers in Beaufort County, North Carolina do not endorse the National Teachei Examinations as a requirement for teacher certification. These examinations are not valid in struments for evaluating tea cher effectiveness and measur ing teacher competency, and See EXAMS 10A proposed S3OOO to help the candidacy of the "Black can didates," some to come from N.

Hawkins said the present administration, like previous ones, has failed to lend an at tentive ear to the needs of the poor whites and Negroes of Tarheelia, and this he proposed to correct when he is elected to the governor's seat in Ra leigh.
