The Rev. B. B. Felder, presi dent of the Dunn NAACP chapter, seid today that he has made no agreement to halt racil demons trations in Dunn. He indicated that a letter to Mayor George Franklin Blalock on the matter had been misinter preted. Folliwing is the text of Rev. Felder's letter to Mayor Blalock; This ?s an acknowledgment of your letter of February 6, 1964 re garding many of the problems which w» face and pursue in Dunn. Fust of all may I thank you for your consideration to these pro™ blems for which we all are so deeply concerned. I am sure you know that I disagree with the procedure of attack on these long standing customs that have dis franchised, segregated, and humi liated the Negro People for a num of years. Our point of view can be ex pressed in a very few words on the above subject. That is, that a rea sonable start in the integration process be begun now and proceed in a normal, peaceful and under standing way. We are aware of the ocep psychological and emotional ..traits of our people on both sides and also the deep seeded feelings iot tradition and of sometimes se vere reactions to such demands. But, if we base our future upon the above mentioned, then we shall go through another one hun dred years without making real progress toward the equal rights oi Negroes. I too feel that our problems can and should be solved through ne gotiations rather than demonstra tions. I believe that if the power structure of Dunn was utilized, perhaps not as a committee, but lust sit down and talk; such as Dr. Stanfield, Mr. Myres Tilgh man, Mr. Nathan B. Johnson, Jr. Rev. Thomas Freeman, Atty. Doffermyre, Atty. Duncan Wilson, Mr. Clarence fart, yourself and perhaps others unknown to me; discuss these problems with a group of interested Negro citizens, these problems could be solved. In regards to our supporting the relative to the police department, it is our hope to have peaceful, law abiding demonstrations so long as the law does not abridge our constitutional rights.
