B. B. Felder or of calling in Ca pus Waynick, the .governor’s per sonal representative, or any other outsider. In a statement yesterday, Feld er threatened to resume racial demonstrations here unless such a meeting is called. "I’m tired pf these threats,” said Mayor Blalock, “they don’t worry me in the least, but I am going to hold him (Felder) per sonally responsible if the peace and tranquility of this community is broken. The responsibility will rest on his shoulders and his alone.” The mayor cited a report of the town's Human Relations Commit tee which cites considerable pro gress here and added, “I have talked with a large cross-section of our Negro citizens. They are pleased with what has been ac complished and they tell me Feld er’s expressions do not represent their feelings.” ACTED IN GOOD FAITH “At the last meeting of the hu man relations committee.” disclos ed Blalock, “Rev. Felder was ask ed by the Rev. Tom Freeman, pastor of the First Baptist Church. If he had any grievances and he V.ad none. It’s odd that he pops up now with more charges and threats. It's time for him to rea lize what leadership is.” 4 The mayor then took Felder’s Oharges and ripped them apart One by one to move that the city and the biracial committee have acted in good faith and in every way in which they had any autho rity or opportunity to act. GIVES REBUTTAL Mayor Blalock took Feder's let ter and gave nls rebuttal in this order: “Drug stores. Three-fourths have desegregated. The other one was the first to desegregate but an unfortunate incident occurred Which caused him to go back to segregation and Rev. Felder knows all the facts In this case. “Naming of Negro election re gistrars. The town has nothing to do with that. It’s the responsibi lity of political parties and Rev. Felder knows that before any per son is named to these posts, white 01 colored, he has to first take an active leadership in party affairs.’’ “Bus stations. They’re control led by interstate commerce, not by the town. “Jobs in the Post Office. Rev. Felder knows that’s run by the Federal government, not by the town. “Appointments at city hall. We’ve been advertising and trying for two months to find two Ne gro policemen to fill vacancies on, (Continued on Page 8ix) THESE Little Things MMAly Hoover Adam»-w-J TERRY A “DEAD DUCK” AT THE WHITE HOUSE Governor Terry Sanford’s In fluence at the White House died with the assassin’s bullet that fell ed President John Kennedy last Friday afternoon in Dallas, Texas. If what we hear is true, the Tar Heel Governor is Just about as popular with President Lyndon Johnson as a skunk at a church picnic. And perhaps not even that popular.' "'- 'i --' The source of ouf information is no less than a veteran member of Congress and a close personal friend of our new President. (Nei ther Dave Henderson nor A1 Len non.) He probably would have no objection to being quoted, but sin ce the Information came during a private conversation we would not quote him without permission. During Johnson’s campaign for the White House nomination, Gov. f.uther Hodges had assured him of North Carolina’s support. The Congressman said Johnson also had been given every reason to think he could count on either Dr. Lake or Sanford, at that time engaged in a bitter primary run off. Dr. Lake stuck with Johnson. Denied, Then Admitted And then came the disclosure of that famous meeting in a Raleigh motel between Bobby Kennedy and Sanford. (Luther Hodges report edly was in on it. too.) Sanford at first vigorously denied the meet ing. But Bobbv Kennedy readily confirmed it in Washington so Sanford had to admit that he had handled the truth a little care lessly. to say the least. A shrewd and skilled politician. Johnson had a pretty good idea What had haooened. As our Congressman friend put it. “Lyndon knew that when the |Cennedv boys go to talk business, they carry the money with them.” So Johnson hit the ceiling, to put it mildly, figuring he had been “sold out” In North Carolina. He called this Congressman, who has ties In North Carolina, and asked him to conduct a personal investigation as to what went on fn the Raleigh motel between Terry and Bobhv. He reported beck to Johnson, with the exact date and minute of arrival, room no. at the ipotel and the other information. All of a sudden, the Sanford esmnaien headquarters, reported flat, hmlre Just the week before, bs'i nlentv of money and Sanford Went on to win the election.

Hillman, reporting for the Com mittee. Dean A. R. Burkot noted that Campbell has achieved this re cognition at the earliest possible time. Campbell is now in process of completing technical qualifica tion for regional accreditation. Next in order, according to Dean Burkot, is an institutional self study prior to seeking admission to the Southern Association of Col leges and Secondary Schools. Campbell has been accredited as a Junior college since 1941. The school hopes to achieve regional accredition of its senior program at the annual meeting of the Southern Association in December 1965. This is the first date tech nically possible under the rule of the association, that requires grad uation of three classes before any new senior college can be given the formal Sanction. Campbell grad uated its first senior class last spring.

Then he spoke of the “dreams” of the slain Kennedy — conquer ing space, a strong alliance of friendly nations, full employ ment, a Peace Corps.” But, apparently lest there be any doubt about his stand on one of the key points of the Kenndy program, the 55-year-old Texan put special emphasis on civil (Continued on Page Six) Wife of Coats Physician Campbell Teacher To Get Ph.

Eddie Morris, Superintendent of the North Caro lina Conference of the Pentecostal Holiness Church and Chairman of the Benevolent Homes Board.

(UPI) — Three double vodkas for breakfast and a few benzedrine pills for your nerves ... a quick shave, a clean suit and a borrowed hat. That’s the way the day starts for a mud erer. It ends with a piece of rubber hose, * paring knife and a German Luger that won’t fire. And a help less woman screaming for mercy. All In a day’s work. Dick W. C. Anderson, 35, a hard drinking Korean War veteran, sat in a crowded courtroom Tuesday and quietly told how he beat, blud geoned and stabbed to death hei ress Carol Thompson, 34. "Oh, God help you!” sobbed dimple-flheeiea criminal attorney T. Eugene Thompson — Carol’s husband and himself charged with master - minding the slaying — when Anderson told how he broke off a paring knife in the woman’s throat and left her dying. In a slow, careful voice, Ander son recounted the events of last March 6, that bitter - cold day when Carol Thompson staggered bleeding and unrecognisable from her home only to die in a hospital hours later. He said he woke up at 5 a. mt put on his slippers and “went di rectly to the refrigerator and mixed a double shot of vodka.” He drank it and men drank another. He walked to the bathroom, where he shaved, put on a white shirt, clean suit and adjusted his tie. Another double shot of vodka and a couple of bensedrine pills and he was ready.
