NEW YORK, May 29 -
There is real justification tor
the re-exclusion of South Afri

African nations and rescind its
invitation to South Africa for
the forthcoming Olympiad, Si
sent Maule to Africa to do an
in-depth study of the current
black-white athletic situation
there.
Maule's report in SI des

tragic conditions he found. He

Humphrey Says
Negroes Will
Aid Economy
DETROIT - Vice President
Hubert H. Humphrey has urged
white businessmen to welcome
black partners from the neigh
borhoods they are serving in
order to open the door for
more Negro business develop
ment.
In a dramatic speech last
Tuesday night before some 800
delegates to the General Con
vention of the African Metho
dist Episcopal Church in De
troit, the Vice-President de
clared the next important step
in racial progress is "to intro
duce black Americans to part
of the system which has not
been theirs. I mean the busi
ness world."
Speaking in the motor capi
tal of the world, Humphrey
rhetorically asked "can you
believe that until recently, in a
country driving 97 million cars,
there was one Negro automo
bile dealer?"
He also pointed out that
one in 40 white persons was a
proprietor of some sort in
America but only one in a
thousand American Negroes
was a proprietor "and with
rare exceptions, he is in a mar
ginal business operating only
in the black community."
"Equal opportunity," Hum
phrey told the applauding de
legates "means more than an
equal right to a job. It means
more than promotion on the
basts of ability alone. It also

Patterson Tells
NCC Graduates
Of Black Power
Dr. Frederick D. Patterson',
president of the Phelps-Stokes
Fund and former president of
Tuskegee Institute, told 457
graduates of North Carolina
College, Sunday, May 26, that
"those measures which are
taken under the blanket term
of 'black power' are in a large
measure appropriate when
they attempt to provide Ame
rica in general with a new
image of the dignity and worth
of the black man."
He cited with approval re
fusals to seek status and accep
tance by irrelevant white stand
ards, efforts to staff Negro
schools in the ghettos with
Negro leadership, and "the em
phasis now being placed on
economic self-sufficiency."
"I do not, however, go
along with the position that a
re-segregation in all relation
ships is a desirable end within
Itself." Dr. Patterson said.
He said efforts toward ful
ler participation in society are
to be preferred to "the unrea
listic insistence that we com
pletely separate or resegregate
ourselves from the total com-
munity in order to establish
identity and/or to achieve a
properexpression of the Ne
gro's self."
Among the graduates at
Sunday's commencement at
the college were nearly 100
receiving graduate or profes
sional degrees.
