ROCKY MOUNT About ten years ago, during the height of the beginning of the School De segregation lawsuits in the Pal metto State and the formation of Tarheelia’s so-callec "Pearsall Plan” which was de signed to limit to a trinkle the number of colored pupils as signed to hitherto “white” schools, the name of Thomas J, Pearsall was ranked next in importance to that of thi Governor of The Old North State. Last week, the politically minded-legislators dropped his name from the list cf names considered for Trustees of the Consolidated University of N. C. This was a surprise to East ern Tarheelia, to Negro citizens, who had known him un favorable to their desires for an equal opporutnity a decade ago. Many easterners see the hand of revengeful politics written in the dropping of this out standing citizens, who, since going to Europe and seeing how America looked from across the Atlantic, came home and hel. ed to write a “Blue-Print for Progress” for his home town , which was designed to aid the Negro’s advancement just as much as his ill-famed “Pupil Assignment Act”_ was Ligon Senior Get Reynolds Scholarship BY RICHMOND STEWART i W * r i • JIMMIE HOWELL Jimmie Howell, a top-rank ing senior at the J.

Telegram (Rocky Mount) writer Joan T. Munger, implies that the fact that Mr. Pearsall backed Judge Richardson Prey er, the liberal gubernatorial candidate in preference to Judge (now Governor) Dan k, Moore and I. Beverly Lake, could have mitigated against him (Pearsall) also. Friends have credited Pear sall with having received a new vision of race relations and certainly he has joined the ranks of Congressman Brooks Hays, Judge Preyer and Rep resentative C. B. Deane, of Rockingham, each of whom lost elections, gloriously because they did not yield to coloi nreiudice.

There are those who question even the Governor’s faith in his “Good Neighbor Commit tee,” due to the fact that its purpose and intent is believed to be definitely opposed to the things for which the Klan stands. The issue became more con fusing as to his stand in the matter, when his office told The CAROLINIAN if did not know whether Mr, Moore in tended to make any statement in the future. The fact that the Klan has bolstered its efforts to take over, in a big way, in the state, is causing much alarm and there are those who say that Governor Moore must act now. They refer to the fact that the action brought against the Dunn minis ters and the laymen who re sented the Dunn action by sign ing a statement, is an indica tion that the situation is grow ing mo e alarming each day and the Gove: aor, being the titular head o r the state, owes stout-hearted people, who be lieve in right, the protection of properly and limi .

SPORTS WORLD (Continued from Page 1) In Raleigh’s Reynold’s Coli seum, more than 1,500 cus tomers were very disappointed, and most walked out in dis gust as Clay was ruled the winner. Referee Jersey Joe Walcott, an ex-heavy weight boxing champion himself, could not hear the timekeeper’s count. When Sonny finally got up, Wal cott let them continue to fight while he checked with officials of the Maine State Boxing Com - mission. Informed that the count of ten had been made on Liston, Walcott then rushed over, stopped the fight, and raised Clay’s hand in victory. The only punches Liston got in was during the first 45 sec onds were mild and did not affect the challenger in the least. Liston was wildly cheered as he entered the ring, while Clay, known by his Black Muslin name, Muhammad Alt, was thoroughly booed, before and af ter t'ne fight. However, reruns of the short est heavyweight fight in history showed Clay was clearly the winner, according to officials here. l Q]ay called the punch to Lis ton’s jaw, “My phantonpunch.” He also had a wild look in his eyes as he danced around the ring, while observers ex pressed the opinion that lie should have been in a neutral corner. Some 4,500 fans had filled the high school gymnasium here to overflowing. Tickets sold for as high as SIOO for the fight.

STATE, TUTORS (Continued from Page I) of dismissal of NegroTeachei s have continuously been report ed to the headquarters of the North Carolina Teachers As sociation here. These dismiss als have come about as a re sult of the implementation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Cases reported to the office of the .Executive Secretary of the North Carolina Teachers Association, include: Removal of several Negro students from a previously “Negro school” to a previous ly “predominate! y wii 11 e school.” This resulted in the release of one or more Negro teachers in each instance re ported. Removal of several grades, often the entire high school section of a union school, to a previously “predo m i n a t e 1 y white school.” This has had many different kinds of results. In two cases, all the Negro high school teachers were in formed that their services would not he needed during the incoming year. In another instance, two of fifteen Negro teachers were informed that uit;» *•. uuiu Ok: i ill liic integrated program, but the services of all others would be discontinued unless the situ ation in September dictated such need. In that instance, they would be reconsidered. Sever al cases of this nature have been reported. Transfer of some students, relates to professional and e conomic security, public re lationships and healthful living. To cooperate with other ed ucational, professional and ci vic organizations and agencies whose objectives and purposes are similar to the objectives and purposes of the associa t. ion. Officials of the N. C. Edu cation Association have said in no uncertain terms, "that they feel, that their members have done all they intend to do when they remove the clause in their constitution which limited its membership to “white teach ers only.” They expressed non interest in merging the two associations. This then, leaves the North Carolina Teachers Association no alter native but to call upon the State officials, the NEA, the NAACP, the offices of Attor ney Gene ral Katen zenb ac h , Commissioner Keppel, the White House and all interested civic and professional groups to cope with this problem. Many hundredof teachers are already Involved In the teacher dismissal practices. Should the emerging pattern of Negro teacher dismissals continue many, many more will be dis placed. The displacement of Negro teachers poses many problems: Many are home owners, Some have mortaged and still others are buying cars and have other indebtedness. Some are long time, if not life time residents of and par ticipating members in their communities. In many communities, Negro teachers are the basic profes sional group and have, and are, providing the leadership of their communities. To up-root these persons is to up-root their very lives and that of the com munities in which they have made their homes. The North Carolina Teachers Association has made inquiry of the Attorney General’s Of fice of the United States and the Attorney General’s office of North Carolina with respect to the implementation oi Title VI and discrimination in the teaching personnel. Realizing that some teachers will be displaced while court action or legislative action is being conducted, the North Car olina Teachers Association calls upon units in North Car olina and other States to avail the opportunity for employment, where you have need, to the displaced teachers of North Carolina, through the office of the Executive Secretary.
