Jones said that the citizens committee was "leav ing the district manager free to work the problem out as he thinks right. 'Pass The Word' "When he wants to integrate, he'll pass the wyord along to in dividual Negroes. There will be no public announcement." There was no assurance that the other Chapel Hill theater, the Varsity, would follow suit, if the Carolina integrated. But local observers feel that the Varsity will integrate if the older, larger Carolina does. Jones was asked if persons favoring his cause should con tinue to boycott the two local theaters. "Let each person act accord ing to his own conscience." No Statement Jones said the group would not make a statement for or against a continued boycott, be cause that would be "a form of pressurei- The decisions were made by an assembly of the pickets.
