The Supreme Court has upheld the right of Congress
to require that federal employees retire at age 70. This
act was done much to the dismay of physicians and
medical scientists who concur that age is incidental and
relative to the productivity of an individual. Medical
experts say that some people cease to be mentally
functional while in their 40’s; while others remain
mentally alert into their 80’s and thereafter.
Nevertheless, federal employees are now required to
retire at age 70.
Atty Gen. Edward H. Levi told Congress that the late
J. Edgar Hoover kept secret files of derogatory
information about high governmental officials in his
office during his 48 years as head of the F.B.I. It is
alleged that Hoover had 164 folders in his personal file;
and, on specific occasions, the derogatory information
was improperly disseminated and used to the detriment
of government officials.
The present FBI Director, Clarence M. Kelly, is in
accord with the Atty General that no secret files on
specific individuals should be kept in the director’s
office.
An estimated crowd of 3,000 persons attended the
funeral services of the Nation of Islam leader, Elijah
Muhammad, last Friday. It was stated that the 77 year
old Black Muslim leader died of congestive heart
failure.

Powerful legislative committee chairmen have
expressed their support of a $2 million state
appropriation for a new Law School Building at North
Carolina Central University of Durham, N.C. This
appropriation will enable the school to eliminate a
major deficiency of the law school's program
(inadequate space) as was pointed out by the American
Bar Association. Other deficiencies have also been
eliminated from the program. More specifically, there
has been an increase in faculty size and salaries have
been increased.
Miss Joan Little left Women’s Prison free on a
$115,000 bond raised through a nationwide effort by
groups supporting her defense. The bond was posted in
Beaufort County by the Southern Poverty Law Center of
Montgomery, Alabama.
Miss Little, a 20 year Black, is being charged with
murder in the ice-pick slaying of a Beaufort County
jailer whom she alleges attempted to rape her. The trial
is now set for April 14 and her whereabouts until that
time will be unknown to the general public.

The board of trustees at A&T State University voted
to launch a fund raising drive to build a stadium at a
cost of $1,292,000. It is proposed that $500,000 of the
total construction cost will be raised through the sale of
l,0OO lifetime stadium seats to alumni and friends at
$50O per seat. Other funds will come from the sale of
bopds and an increase in study activity fees.
In the past, all of A&T’s home games were played at
Memorial Stadium and a desire was expressed by A&T
officials to purchase and renovate the stadium.

/ Remember C.E.
by Jim Campbell
One of the sad aspects of coming home is that you
usually learn that someone you know has passed.
Upon my recent visit, I learned that C.E. Yokely had
passed.
I remember him and well! There are alot of
teachers who do not look like teachers, who do not
talk like teachers, who do not teach like teachers.
Such was not true of C.E.
He was graphic, articulate and stylish. He was a
model teacher. Perhaps C.E. could have been just as
astute in other fields - as a physician or lawyer. Still,
you alw'ays felt that he belonged where he was in
education.
The factor that I remember best about him was the
ease with which he taught. He was never harsh and
his voice was always calm, yet commanding. The
man had so much grace in the classroom that often it
was a couple of hours later before the impact of what
he had imparted became intrinsically real to his
students.
C.E.’s late years were spent in administration,
and because of that I often wondered how many
youngsters missed the opportunity to be tutored by
an adroit tactician.
He was not perfect as no mortal ever is, but for
one whose career spanned almost 40 years and
w'hose life effected thousands of students, most like
myself will remember him and are glad he came our
way.

George H. Banks,
president of the Norfolk
NAACP Chapter said his
group is following the case
closely.
“GUNSHOT wounds in the
head and back is clearly a
case of murder. This violent
act is an indication to the
general public that with all
of the training we profess to
require of police officers, we
somehow have persons that
hot only embarrass the
Department of Police but
the city as a whole. The
NAACP will vigorously
follow this case until justice
is done,” Banks declared.
In announcing Gibson’s
prosecution on a murder
charge Police Chief Brown
discredited any charges that
the incident might be
“white-washed”.
“We have a judicial
process that’s time tried and
we are using it. The law
applies to everyone. This
process is the same that
every citizen (under
similiar circumstances)
would go through,” Chief
Brown declared.
BROWN indicated that
while Gibson is being
“relieved of his police
duties” he was not being
suspended. “There is not
enough evidence at this time
to support suspension,”
Brown said.
Gibson has been released
under a $5,000 personal

him.
