Seventy-One Years of Editorial Freedom Offices In Graham Memorial CHAPEL HILL, NORTH CAROLINA, TUESDAY, MAY 7, 1963 UPI Wire Service Playmakers Begin Run Tomorrow By VANCE BARRON The Carolina Playmakers' pro duction of "The Cherry Orchard" opens Wednesday night for a five day run. Dr. Russell Graves, director of the production, said that it "is the most fascinating play" he has ever worked with. The play was written by Russian playwright Anton Chek hov. "The Cherry Orchard" is a "beautiful picture of reality," Graves commented in an interview at the Playmakers' theatre yes terday. "It is the most 'honest' play bar none that I have produced. You never feel at any point that the playwright is trying to force anything for theatrical ef fect. "This is not to say that the play is not theatrical," he added. "It is a picture of life, and life is theatrical." Dr. Graves said the audience should not expect to find an intriguing plot in the play. "If you look for reality, beautifully presented, then I think you will be delighted," he said. "It is a mix ture of comedy and tragedy be cause life is such a mixture." While Dr. Graves was speaking, he often broke off to shout direc tions to the Playmakers working on the stage set. A living room became a wooded scene in a mat ter of minutes as the sets were turned on their rollers. . "I am very pleased with the cast," Dr. Graves continued. "Most of them have not played major parts before, so it will be a fresh experience for the audience, ' Fred Lubs, Edna Clark and Ed Grady will be seen in the leading roles. Dr. Graves said that there were no real bit parts, however, "The play is remarkaby well-balanced." The story is a simple one, ac cording to Dr.' Graves. It takes place in Russia at the turn of the century. It portrays a family ol aristocrats who are unable to cope' with a changing situation, largely because of their training as aristo crats.

James Bevel, a leader in "The Birming ham Movement," told an assem blage of nearly 1,000 Negro high school students' Monday that the school boycott they have started will have "every school in the county closed by the end of the week." Bevel, executive director of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating, Committee (SNCC) and organizer of the school boycott, . sent hand bills Monday morning to all Negro students on their way to school, telling them to "Fight for free dom first, then go to school." , Unofficial reports indicated the tions and arrests continued here for the fifth straight day. Some 200 of the students in the church left the four-hour meeting when they were told that if they didn't want to demonstrate they should give up their seats for those who did. Other students, waiting outside, quickly marched in to fill up the vacant seats. Bevel told the students that they had been asked to boycott the schools because over 1,000 of their classmates were in jail and that if one Negro couldn't go to school, none of them should. He explained that the purpose of the demonstrations is to "fill the jails to overflowing." "We must learn to love each other," he said. "We must prac tice brotherhood and stay together or the white men will trick us back into slavery."

Dr. Martin Luther King told the students theirs was "a struggle for freedom and human dignity. "We can't forget our fellow schoolmates who are now in jail," King said, "but we must always use non-violent methods." Dick Gregory, nationally-known Negro comedian, compared the; Birmingham situation with the Berlin Wall. "They call us Communists when: we fight for freedom," he said,! "but we can compare our struggle with the fight of the East German people against Communism. "The Communists built the wall, and I say that the hoses and the dogs they're using here are just the same as the Wall." After the speeches the students lined up and were given signs to begin their demonstration. They left the church in orderly rows, singing.

(Continued on Page 3) ' '' - w - Mrs. Constance Baker Motley Photo by Jim Wallace NAAC P Attorney Sav Violence Can mf Be Aver P- T By GARY BLANCHARD An NAACP attorney who playd a major role in desegregating Ole Miss and Clemson College believes mere is "a real possibility" that Alabama "can avert violence and the use of federal troops in the event Negroes are ordered admitr ted to the University of Alabama. "I think there are some people working on the Governor," Mrs. Constance Baker Motley said in a question period following a talk Saturdav. niht to the first AU-boutn Human Relations Conference. The conference closed Sunday. "Of course, you don't hear any names," Mrs. Motley said, "but people tell you this . . . they say that the Governor is just out there shooting off bis mouth and he does n't mean it. "Maybe by the time the students are admitted, his attitude will have changed . . . we certainly hope so. The governor, George Wallace, has said he will "stand in the door way" of any Alabama school threatened with desegregation. Asked about events in Birming ham, Mrs. Motley said: If Negroes are to achieve full equality, "what's happening in Birmingham is going to have to spread--that is, a real desire by Negroes for desegregation." "The demonstrators themselves are not tbe ones who engage in violence. The people watching are the ones who do it At least, that's what happened last week." "I don't know of any coopera tion" being received by Birniing- ham Negroes from organized labor in Birmingham. "Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth and the Alabama Christian , Movement invited Dr. King to come in" and help overturn segregation barriers. King is not, there to use the situa tion as a means of repleting his movement's, funds, despite news reports quoting an Alabama Civil Rights Advisory Commission of ficial that King has said as much privately. The lady lawyer predicted Ne groes will make wider use of eco nomic boycotts in the South in the future, with the result that restaur ants and businesses "probably will be desegregated long before the schools are." - She characterized the desire of the Black Muslims, a Negro ex tremist group, for Negro withdraw al into a separate nation, as an old idea" which is "ludicrous" and "realistically, not possible. Dubbing Muslim leader Malcolm X "an extremist," Mrs. Motley said: - "It's very easy, what he does. He lists everj-thing that's, wrong. Anyone can do that. The difficulty is in deciding what to do about it. That's where we and most Ne groes part company with him. "A lot nf Southerners like Mal colm X." she said. "He's talking about what they're talking about segregation. A. lot ef Southern segregationists love him. - Mrs. Motley said the only way the NAACP. can win sit-in cases now before the U. S. Supreme Court is "by showing that there is some kind of state action involved . . . the argument most likely to be accepted is that arrest and con viction constitute state action. "There are indications that this will come," she said. "If we can get this broadening (of the con cept of) state action, then we'll see private segregation struck down too." In her address, she said the "real danger" facing the civil rights movement is the "wide spread acceptance of a . new com promise of rights guaranteed Ne groes by the Supreme Court. "We're in great danger of having imposed on us . . . 'tokenism as the successor' to 'separate but equal,' " she said, referring to the Supreme Court's 1535 decision which was overturned in 1954. Citing North Carolina as the "author of 'tokenism, " Mrs. Mot ley said: "This is a real danger because the so-called moderates, north and south, have accepted 'tokenism as compliance with the 1354 decision. "The moderates are quite satis fied with what South Carolina has done admitted a single Negro." Without a new decision by the Supreme Court, she said, "the pro cess of desegregating schools will continue for generations to come... "At the rate we're going in North Carolina, we'll desegregate the schools by 2064. In other states with a grade-a-year plan, it will be a century after that." A second danger facing the move ment is "reluctance of Negroes to press locally for full implementa tion of their rights," such as taking advantage of desegregated lunch counters, she said. A third danger is that "of having 'tokenism accepted as national policy." she said, "because cf wide spread de facto segregation In northern cities." !
