Duke University LiLrary Newspaper Department Durham, N. C. 27706 11-26 rvn UJ Declares "(idol Onf One Who Can Keep Alive flicker Of Hope That We Can Do Things Better" MANSFIELD, PA. - Georgia State Senator Julian Bond lashed out hard at former Governor Jimmy Carter's apo logy for remarks made last week on "ethnic purity and alien groups." Addressing an audience of nearly 400 persons here on the Mansfield State College campus during the observance of Black Awareness Week, Senator Bond said that Carter's remarks on preserving the 'ethnic purity" of urban neighborhoods totally "disqua lifies him as a presidential candidate. It is really astound ing for a candidate running for public office on 1976 talking about ethnic purity and alien groups," Bond said. "It's frightening to me and not suffi cient to apologize in my view." "The United States has now become a large international power which threatens its own citizens with intolerable eco nomic hardship, social dis integration and with the con tinuing threat of the denial of political rrights," Bond said. "Now while most of the na tion prepares to parade and celebrate this 200th anniver sary, a large and growing American underclass still waits for its own declaration of independence to take effect." During the Bicentennial year, ,4we find our condiion, in a very real way, unchanged, "' the Georgia legislator, who was barred from taking his seat in Georgia legislature until - the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the legislature had erred in refusing to seat him, said. Stating his views on domestic issues, Bond, regarded as the apotheosis of the new poli tics which burst on the scene prior to the 1968 convention, called for an elimination of poverty through a real full employment, free health care for all Americans, a wider distribution of income and JULIAN BOND wealth and effective social control over corporate mono polies. "These hold the promise of no perfect world," Bond declared, "but do hold the hope that we may create a system of laws and relation ships between us that promise more than the present sys tem of privilege for only a few." It is readily apparent in the Bicentennial year that we are the 200 year old victims of the philosophy of ethnic purity, he 1 added. "Of those who believe that Black people, who arrived in America the year before the Mayflower did, constitute members of an alien group. , These master race theories have consigned us to second-class citizenship and second-class lives, and made our intelligent participation in the citizenship process all that more important." . Responding to questions from the audience in Mans field State's Straughn Auditor rium following his address, Bond said that his personal choice in the race for the Democratic nomination is Rep. Udall (Morris), describing the Arizona congressman as the "only remaining democratic candidate who has any alle giance to the traditional liberal principals that a section of the Democratic Party has tried to uphold over the last 30 years. He's the only one who comes dose to my position on the issues." Udall, Bond declared, "is the only one who can keep alive a 'flicker of hope' that we can do things better, differently and extend social and econo mic justice to a larger and larger number of people." Referring to Sen. Henry Jackson of Washington, Bond said, "He proposes a frighten ing foreign policy. He's over eager on the button and I would be afraid of almost constant war." "Carter strikes me as a man careless with the truth," Bond responded; "a man unable to come to grips with any issue. To his credit ,Bond pointed out, "Sen. Jacksoa-'wfflK tell you where he stands on most things, even if he is wrong. Governor Carter will not be wrong or right, or even half wrong or half right." Several Hundred Aspiring Delegates Gov. Jimmy Carter Governor George IrVafface Choices Notified By Democrats RALEIGH - State Democratic Party Headquarters staff worked late in the day preparing written notification for those of the Party faithful who won approval from Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter or Alabama Governor George Wallace to run as delegates to represent their choice at the Democratic National Convention. The new delegate selection process imposed by the 1972 Democratic National Convention seems certain to set off a new round of internal "Politicking" in advance of the conventions scheduled in each of the state's eleven Congressional Districts on May 8. In the Carter camp, 235 aspiring delegates will be competing for the 27 Delegate and 19 Alternate positions to be filled at District elections. Competition among the Wallaceites won't be quite so tight. Only 38 aspiring Delegates won approval from the Wallace camp, and they will be competing for 19 Delegate and 11 Alternate posts up for grabs at the District conventions. Those on the approved list who fail to win election as Delegates or Alternates to the Democratic National Convention at District level will still have a shot at election when the Democratic State Convention convenes in Raleigh on June 12th. At that time, 9 additional delegates and 6 Alternates will be elected to represent Carter, and 6 Delegates and 4 Alternates to represent Wallace.

Officials of Scotland Neck have taken steps to insure that bail is set impartially for blacks and whites charged with crimes, and will seek other administration of justice and human relations improvements under an agreement mediated by the Community Relations Service. CRS Director Ben Holman said today the agreement represents an agency effort to improve relations between city officials and black residents. Under the agreement, district judges will now notify the district attorney before bail is set of bail hearings are conducted in capital cases, such as first degree murder and rape. A State statute will be sought to make this procedure compulsory . The agreement also requires the city's police chief to refer persons seeking warrants to the two local magistrated empowered to issue them. In addition, the mayor, police commissioner, Halifax County commissioners, and county sheriff will resolve unclear relationships between the police department and sheriffs office that both sides blame for contributing to racial problems. Under the measure, Scotland Neck officials must publicize through the news media the location of voter registration offices, which are open five days a week. They also agreed to support efforts to get a civil rights bill passed during the State Legislature's next session. If the county commissioners approve, several changes will be made in Halifax County's Human Relations Commission to give it a more active role in resolving racial problems. One major change would be to give the commission a crisis resolution responsibility.
