up at a dance in the Citv-owned
auditorium. Judge Winborne com
mented "it migh tnot be anarchy
but its getting mighty close to it.”
Frink and Wagner’s stand
ard dictionary deftnes anarchy
in part thnsiy: "absence or ut
ter disregard of government.”
We were Interested in the so
called riot during a dance at
th© auditorium because of the
racial overtone* and the evi
dent lack of judgment exer
cised by the police officers on
duty there.
It is the sworn duty of police of
ficers to uphold ‘he law, to protect
persons and property and to arrest
those who voilate the law. No sane
person could ever find fault with,
or interfere with a police officer
when he is judiciously performing
ms sworn duties.
As far as we are concerned, the
white police officer who abruptly
placed a Negro woman under ar
rest because he thought she had
whiskey in her bag and then at
tempted to forceably eject her
f'om the auditorium floor, was not
judiciously performing his duty in
tnat instance. Under the prevailing
circumstances, discretion should
haye dictated a less provoking pro
cedure.
We have no sympathy for the
man w'ho was convicted on the
charge of striking a police officer.
Regardless of what his possible
thoughts that his sister, who was
being pulled by a police officer
f-om the dance floor, was being
mistreated, there would be anarchy
if persons were alknved to go
around beating up police officers.
On the other hand, it is hard to
understand how Judge Winborne
could close his eyes to this fact:
a white police officer was literally
dragging a Negro wman from the
fiance floor, yet there is not one
tnread of evidence that a single
person in a crowd estimated to
have been 2500, interferred in any
way with this officer. It is our
humble opinion that instead of
c.itci/.ing that huge throng for not
1 Iping the officer drag the wom
an out. and charging them with
being near anarchists, it would
-have been very much in order for
the judge to have commended
I hose 2500 persons for their re
st Faint.
It rnay be beyond the point, and
it probably is. Judge, but has your
imagination allowed you to think
of what would most likely have
happened that night had the racial
idenities been reversed.
THE FUTILITY OF MONEY
How many times have you
allowed yourself to believe that
your greatest need was more
money. Perhaps you have felt
many times that if you had
more money you would be far
happier, you think of the many
wonderful things you could do
for j ourself and for others it
only you had more money. We
have talked with persons who
felt that, with sufficient mon
ey they could enjoy untold
happiness, perfect health and
file would be for them just
‘ one grand song. We have heard
ethers say that there was noth
ing wrong that a little more
money could not right.
There arc several persons who
ci uld truthfully refute the false
beuefs held by many about the all
power of money. Money is useful,
it is a needed commodity but if
anyone wants to know how really
futile money can be, he has only
to ask Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.
Gov. Rockefeller does not have all
the money in the world. We have
never heard it said that he was
the world's richest man. But he
does have so much money that, the
names, Rockefeller and money are
ijnonomous.
Today, despite his great weallh.
you suppose there is a person
more miserable, more sorrowful,
more lonely, more pitiful and more
in need than this enormously rich
man. His great wealth could not
bring his son back io him or even
soften the blow caused by what
tortures this son may have en
dured. Gov. Rockefeller's wealth
could not hold his family together
and entice his wife to remain with
him.
The two great sorrowful blows
now being borne by Mr. Rockefell
er should convince everyone that
there are a lot of things, needed
things, necessary things that mon
ey cannot buy, nor will ever buy.

BUSINESS
MEETING
CLOSES
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
a picture of the business should
be given in the balance sheet and
there would be no question about
the getting of money if the picture
warrants it.
Establishment of a nation-wide
project designed to spur interest
o: young persons, particularly Ne
groes. in the opportunities in
business was urged here today by
Julius A. Thomas of New York in
dustrial relations consultant of the
National Urban League.
Mr. Thomas spoke at the Na
tional Conference on Small Bust
r.ess in the Hotel Statler Hilton,
addressing a session devoted to
personnel recruitment and train
ing.
‘‘Such a project might well
be a joint venture of the De
partment of Commerce, the
Urban League, the National
Business League, colleges and
high schools and other Inter
ested groups,” Thomas said.
He pointed out that many cor
porations and other business en
terprises are providing part-time
and summer work experience for
high school and college students
with promising abilities and sug
gested that "we consider a project
of this nature wherever conditions
warrant it.”
He further recommended that
case studies of successful enter
prises operated by Negroes be
prepared as aids to incentive and
to show how these firms conduct
business. Also needed, he added,
are informational materials show
ing how to assemble necessary
capital, techniques in market re
search, prod pet research, adver
tising personnel development and
other business essentials.
The summary Saturday outlined
plans for a closer bond between
the Department of Commerce, The
Small Business Administration
and the National Negro Business
League.

TRIAL HALTED,
NO WITNESSES
IN CASE
(CONTINUED FIOM PAGE 1)
The failure of the witnesses to
put in their appearance created
a stir and Judge Leo Carr had
to postpone the C3se until
such time as the witnesses
rould be found.
Terry is charged with entering
the home of Miss Annie Lassiter, !
white elderly spinster, assaulting j
her and then taking $3.00 and flee- j
ing the scene. The woman alleges ;
that she called in neighbors and I
told them what had happened. It i
was not brought out whether any j
of the missing witnesses were some .
of the ones called in or not.
The defendant was apprehended i
at his home on July 7, and has
been held in (he county jail ever I
since. He is 22 years old and the ;
father of four children. Either one >
of the two charges—rape and first !
degree burglary, could bring him j
a death sentence.
Due to the gravity of the charges.
Judge Carr postponed the case and
set the machinery in motion to
bring the witnesses back The
knowledge of their disappearance
was not disclosed until District
Solicitor Archie Taylor called all
of the witnesses at 1 p.m. to dis
cuss the evidence.
When officers went to the homes !
of the three witnesses, they had j
disappeared. Taylor said he re- ;
garded the witnesses as "very ma- ;
terial” in the trial. “I would have j
had them under bond if I'd had j
any idea they wouldn't be here,” j
the solicitor said.
Taylor added that he was not !
sure of the process that would have :
to be followed to locate and bring
back the witnesses. He said post
ponement of the trial would be up
o Judge Leo Carr, but that ne
hoped the ease would not be tried i
until the witnesses appear. “I don't j
think it would be fair to him (Ter- !
ry), 1o the peo-ple or to society,” j
Taylor stated
Chief Norton said SBI agent Hay- |
wood Stallings was contacting fed- I
eral authorities in efforts to find
the three people, one of whom is i
brother-in-law of the defendant.

CHURCH CASE
POSTPONED
BY JURIST
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
Lawyer Herman Taylor rep
resents the defendants, in a
suit brought by the denomina
tional officers to enjoin Rev,
Pliilpot, known to the church
world as sister Gary, and her
followers, from using the
church property in any way.
The denomination won the first
round and Sister Gary and her
followers abided by the deeis
ion of the court and have held
services elsewhere.
The plaintiff oi vanization has
carried on regular services since
the temporary injunction and re
ports that they are meeting with
splendid success. Tt is to be remem
bered that the church was bought
in 1923 and organized as a regular
constituted body, subject to the
laws and regulations of the de
nomination. The parsonage was
purchased after that time and is
believed to be subject to the same
laws and regulations.
The whole matter is scheduled
to be thrashed out when the hear
ing is held and the denomination
asks that the injunction he made
permanent.

AWAITING
SENTENCE

vears 1956 57. The plea of guil
ty was entered by Mitchell and
Judge Stanley deferred sen
tence until the March term of
court to give him time to make
some arrangements with the
Treasury Department about
the civil side of the ease.
Attorney Taylor also pleaded
guilty to failure to file within the
time limit his 1956-57 returns. He,
however, plead innocent to a
charge of filing a false report for
hi> 1955 return. He requested a
jury trial and was scheduled to go
< n trial next week. Reliable sour
ces say. however, that he will not
be tried until the March tern.
Both Taylor and Mitchell are
.well-known practitioners in the
state and have made an enviable
record. They have been quite ac
tive in civil rights matters and
were associates for a long time.
CRUMP IS
ACQUITTED
BY JUDGE
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
Councilman John W. Winters and
several others, including Mrs.
Frances W. Carter, daughter of the
councilman.
Williams is alleged to have told
Councilman Winters, sometime be
fore the trial, that he did not know
anything about the case ftowever.
Winters talked with him Friday
and he told him that he did know
something about it.
He is alleged to have testified
that he saw Crump hit Officer W.
G. Arnold as he was falling to the
floor. He is also said to have seen
Crump take the officer's pistol. It
is to be remembered that the pis
tol-taking was not charged to any
one at the time the affray took
place.
Mrs. Carter testified that she was
watching Crump and his partner
do the "twist” when the fight
broke out and therefore was not
where Williams’ testimony placed
him. She further stated that she
saw the beating of Arnold and that
Crump was nowhere near him

A series of proposals recom
mended to Raleigh City Coun
cil by Chief es Police Tom
Davis, and designed to reroute
rock and roil dances In Raleigh
Memorial Auditorium would
lead to the stationing of police
women, presumably white, in
or near the ladies’ rooms and
closing es all such functions
promptly at midnight.
The Davis plan calls for employ
ment of at lealst ten policemen at
each such dance, two Negro offi
cers “to minle with the crowd",
two women officers to work up
stairs checking the ladies' .cast
rooms, four downstairs, and two
with other duties.
He proposed that a room in the
front lobby be prepared and desig
nated Police Holding Room end

to invite people to Charlotte to
inspect merchandise and then
refuse to feed them. Leaders
of the movement were not able
to get the job done for the fair
and an Indian group was de
nied eating privileges.
Mahalia Jackson, internationally
famous religious singer, came as
a guest of the city and was denied
hotel accommodations. These two
incidents made the proponents of
democracy more determined to see
that the name of their fair city
would not be trampled any longer
unaer the feet of segregated lunch
counters.
They stopped picketing but have
vowed that the city must put
Christ in Christmas by opening the
door to all the inns so that Ne
groes will not have to suffer the
stigma of color when they apply
for succor on Christmas day at
any place serving the public.
Belks and Ivey Tulip Terrace,
one of the downtown Charlotte's
most plush luncheon spots after
two days of picketing, Saturday
agreed to desegregate.
Officers of Befks and Ivey,
fwo of Charlotte’s largest de
partment stores, in announcing
their action, said their decision
followed two days of anti-seg
regation picketing by students
of Johnson C, Smith Univer
sity.
Clyde Carter, University divin
ity student, and Dr. R. A. Hawkins,
dentist, told Mayor Stanford Brook
shire that there would be no fur
ther picketing. Instead they would
seek further desegregation by
working with the mayor’s Com
munity Relations Committee.
Belk’s mezzanine lunch counter
and Ivey’s basement coffee shop
were desegregated on July 9, 1960,
when five other downtown eating
places were desegregated. Satur
day's action opened for the first
time a first class restaurant and
cafeteria on private property in
Charlotte.
