Taylor Urges Bill
To Curb Rioters
WASHINGTON?Eleventh

Duke Endowment
Releases Report
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The
increasingly significant role
of The Duke Endowment tn
the lives of the people of the
Carolinas is recorded in its
forty-first Annual Report,
which was released last week.
In reviewing the activities
in 1965, the year of the report,
Thomas L. Perkins,chairman
of the Trustees, said it is an
unusual family which would
not be represented by rel
atives or friends in the
1,047,011 patients treated in
the 189 assisted hospitals. In
addition, educational benefici
aries had some 10,550 students
enrolled, child care institu
tions served 5,349 children,
508 retired ministers and de
pendents of deceased minis
ters were assisted, and ass
istance was given to 45 rural .
churches for building and to
428 for operating purposes.
The report includes finan
cial statements, a listing of
assistance provided, hospital
and child care statistics, and
sections devoted to each of the
four areas of The En
dowment's philanthropy?ed
ucation, health, child care and
religion.
intent of inciting a riot or other
form of civil disobedience.
"A way must be found to
stop troublemakers who go
from city to city and state to
promote riots and violence and
stir up race against race and
class against class, " Rep?
Taylor declarea.
Earlier this year.thehouse
added an anti-riot amendment
to the 1966 Civil Rights Bill.
However, the civil rights me
asure appears to have no
chance of passage by the Sen
ate.
"This makes the enactment
of separate anti-riot
legislation not only desirable
but compelling if we expect to
cope with professional
agitators who direct riots
either personally or remotely
through use of the telephone
and U.S. mail,"Congressman
Taylor said.
"Today, we are witnessing
a frightening acceleration of
civil disobedience and dis
respect for law and order.
In some of our large netro
politan centers, disobedience
has almost reached the state
of anarchy," he said.
The Congressman said
"firm measures must be taken
to deal with those who take
lives and destroy property
under the protective cloak of
civil rights."
His bill would make it a
federal crime punishable by
up to five years in jail or
$10,000 fine for anyone to
cross a state line with the
intent of encouraging, inciting
or participating in a riot.
It would not replace state
laws, but would reinforce them
by authorizing use of the FBI
and federal court pros
ecutions, he said.
