THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20. 1969 Nnunrrp R McKissick Holds Press Conference Option On Soul City Property Is Exercised i. T. Clayton, warrenton at torney for McKisslck En terprises, announced that the option on Soul City property would be exercised at 3 o'clock Wednesday. He said that the transaction would take place in his office on Franklin Street. The option was to have expired Wednesday. Clayton also announced that Floyd McKisslck would hold a press conference at the court house here on Wednesday at 4 o'clock. In a news story from Wash ington under date of Feb. 14, Floyd B. McKisslck, Negro leader who formerly headed the Congress of Racial Equality, says the $500,000 required to buy land for Soul City, pro posed as a new mostly black town In northeastern North Car olina, would be ready within a week. McKisslck and Louis Orth Kelso, San Francisco lawyer and economist, said at a news conference last Wednesday that plans for building Soul City in Warren County would be completed In about two years. McKisslck said the new town's first settlers, black and white, would come from two widely separated sections of so ciety?the rural South and the university and college cam puses of the nation. He set the potential population at between 18,000 and 20,000. He said the financing program would permit residents even .u<u>; w u nil d ^UUSlOlllliU 3U1U K of the community. Kelso's and McKissick's theory ? much simplified?Is that "a man's labor will de termine his equity In the com munity." The system, which Kelso de scribed as "radical capital Ism," Is the same as the cor porate structures of scores of existing companies. It Involves financing tech niques which take advantage of little used avenues In federal corporate tax laws, and result In employee ownership of busi nesses. Kelso said the plan has attracted the Interest of some of America's largest corpora tions. He said they are more anxious to establish new plants than they are to create employ ment in existing facilities. McKissick said he chose Lin coln's birthday to explain the economic philosophy of the new town "because Abraham Lin coln might have understood and approved what we are going to say." The Integrated community will be built on 1,810 acres close to the Virginia border, McKissick said it would become "a living symbol to black people In every country of what . . .given access to true eco nomic opportunity . . .black men can do . T no matter how degraded their lives are now." McKissick and Kelso said the Sheriff's" Dept: To Have Boat Patrol Of Lake The Warren County Sheriff's Department will patrol Gaston Lake by boat this summer Sheriff Clarence Davis said Monday. Sheriff Davis said that this decision Is the result of re covering stolen property In a well hidden cove on the lake on Wednesday of last week.
