‘IN DARK’
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE I)
out the Colonial Park Houses
Apartment began to get dim.
I told my wile to cut off the
TV and certain other heavy
electrical appliance users,
thinking that our house was the
only one affected--when sud
denly all lights faded out.
"TRICK OR TREAT” COULD
IT BE?
As my wife fished for candles
left from last Thanksgiving’s
dinner, teenagers In this 984-
famlly, 4,000-lnhablt ed, high
rise middle income housing de
velopment, raced to the courts
with laughter and noise that
usually accompanies "Trick or
Treat” at Halloween. Ap
proaching my living room win
dow I could readily see that
lights in the eight other build
ings In this neighborhood, wer.e
no less similar. Quickly I dug
up a transltor radio--only to
find that New York City and the
enU r e Northeast sector of our
cowry had at least one thing
in common--no electricity.
DINNER BY CANDLE-LIGHT
While having dinner by candle
light, the writer thought The
'CAROLINIAN, like the nation’s
other press, would be Interest
ed In a first hand eye-witness
account of the world’s first
city during such anemergency
so, come with this writer as
he takes you along on a tour
of a black, blackened, ghost
like Harlem.
It is now 6:15 p. m. the heart
of the (Rush) hour, a time when
skyscrapers, towering office
buildings, and factories turn
its millions of workers Into the
streets, where they scamper to
this city’s vast complex of sub
way, bus and commuter train
lines.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
STRANDED
Hundreds of thousands of peo
ple are stranded In subways,
In elevators in office buildings
and high rise apartment build
ings, Some remained all night.
Others were lucky--they were
freed and/or led to safety in
2,3, 4,5, 6, and some even
7 hours. Taxis are overload
ed. Private cars are tnvaded
at almost every inter-section
and drivers are asked., "which
way are you going" or, "do
you have room for one more."
People are walking In the
streets. White merchants In
the Harlem area closes busi
nesses at the first sign of the
emergency and abandoned the
scene as soon as possible
thereafter. No stores are o
pen. One can see headlights
from taxis and passenger cars,
piercing an ever menacing pitch
black. More and more flash
lights can be seen In the hands
of pedestrians. By this time
there are no candles available,
even if you can find a candle
lit store that usually sells that
cosummer Item,
ENTER TRANSITOR RADIO
The transltor radio truly
came Into Its own, here to-night,
and many persons can be seen
listening to their transltors.
This is the only mass means
of contact with the outside
world. Some telephones are
operating. Most are not, and
if your phone rings, you can
not call out and vice -versa.
Before you can put your dime

someone’s transltor can be

lines open for emergencies."
THE MOON IN ALL ITS
SPLENDOR
A full moon smiling down on
the blackened "breasts” of
skyscrapers, office buildings
and below--casts
its glow on a silhouetted Man
hattan skyline, depicting a
quaint old New York, thellkes
of which an artist has yet to
capture with the brush, and an
easel.
For the most part everywhere
we go (did you forget you came
along with me) New Yorkers,
all ethnic and religious groups,
extraordinarily friendly, obli
ging, courteous and calm--and
no where do we see evidence of
panic. Though we do pass many
women walking, nervously and
briskly and they are overheard
to say, as if thinking aloud,
"Oh, Lord." Others say, pray
erfully, “Jesus."
We have passed 125th street
and St. Nicholas Ave. where
we saw white helmented traffic
patrolmen in their large white
shoulder straps and "’aistltne
belts directing traffic. No
traffic signals are working In
the city. And--of course, our
transltor radio tells us that all
New York cops (approximately
30,000.) have been ordered to
work, emergency duty, for the
duration of this crisis, by the
police commissioner.
FIVE PER CENTERS ATTACK
WHITES
We are now In East Harlem,
near the corner of 119th Street
and Madison Ave., where we
pa rked our car and you and I, our
flash lights and our transltor
radios, cross the avenue to en
ter a blackened P, S, 120 Man
hattan (James Fenimore Cooper
Junior High School). The madi
son Avenue door Is open. We
enter, find the janitor and talk
with him, School of course is
not open to-night. We leave.
As we cross Madison Avenue
and put our key in the right
front door we see about ten
to 15 teenagers ranging In age
from 14 to 17 years. They are
walking briskly—three abreast.
They look like five per centers,
and an uneasy tense befalls both
you and I. (Five per centers
are Harlem’s latest hate group,
who claim that 85 per cent of
the Negro race "do not know
what’s happening," ten percent
are "uncle toms” and they are
the five per cent who must
save the race).
Here are two white youths who
look like college boys of about
20 years of age walking lively
up the east side of Madison
Avenue between 119th and 120th
Streets. The alleged five per
centers are almost upon the
white boys, the latter have not
looked behind-yet, the five per
centers are gaining on the
whites—suddenly and In unison
as If previously rehearsed, the
five per centers let out with
“a-a-a-a-ah-h-h-h-h,” which
started softly as a hum and
gradually got louder and louder.
White boys look around and
take to their heels, one down
the center line lri Madison Ave
nue, the other on the opposite
sidewalk—both fleeing In the
opposite direction from which
they were originally headed.
But alas, five per centers
do not chase boys. Normally
New York teenagers, no matter
what section, do chase, In situ
ations like this. We ask our
selves why? The answer Is
now coming in our direction
past the so-called five per
centers. "The answer’’ is a
white male of about 45 to 47
years of age. He, too, has a
brief case. He, too, walks
briskly toward 116th St. and
Madison Avenue. He looks like
a school teacher or some other
professional, his eye fixed on
the sidewalk before him. He
too, has not looked around or
behind him. I want to warn

300 LEADERS
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
in launching the much-needed
project to be called “Trading
Posts,” at least one of which
is to be established In each of
some fifty counties.
Initial plans calls for the en
listing of one thousand fami
lies (or more) In each county
who will Invest ten dollars per
family, probably each year, for
five years to raise $500,000, or
more, to perfect the organiza
tion of stores which would han
dle merchandise to supply prac
tically all the farmer’s needs.
Speaking Saturday were two
specialists on cooperatives: Dr.
Job K. Savage, Farmer Coop
erative Service, United States
Dept., Agriculture (USDA); and
Jerry Voorhis, Director Coop
erative League, USDA, both of
whom explained, at length, the
outlines of coop structure and
the successes of others and pit
falls of mismanagement. These
speakers pointed to the best
blueprints available, which can
be had for the asking from the
USDA, and the plans for ob
taining loans dwelt at length
on the alleged exploitation of
obtaining loans through Farm
ers Home Administration and
other government agencies.
Chairman McKisstck dwelt at
length on the alleged exploita
tion of Negroes by their white
overlords, not alone In the rural
life, but among the teachers
and preachers as well, who fear
to be active in civil rights
because of probable reprisals.
The "Trading Posts” would
give Negroes a place to trade
at chalnstore prices and em
ployment to several hundred
of their race, thereby lending
dignity and security totherace,
McKlssick stated. Thlsw'ould
increase the voting habits of
Negroes.
Dr. J. E, Cheek, Shaw Uni
versity president, extended
greetings to the assemblage.
The Rev. O. Melvin Creecy
and th Rev. A. I. Dunlap and
Golden Frinks appeared on the
program. Atty. M, C. Burt,
Jr. presided. Temporary county
groups were organized.

flight center is home-based.
The Blrchers are reported
to have a goal of 1,000 mem
bers In each Congressional dis
trict In the United States. One
Alabama county (that embraces
Birmingham) alone is said to
have exceeded that goal, ac
cording to a Birch spokesman.
The society is said to be
capitalizing on white suprema
cy—as does the Klan—as well
as on a general social, reli
gious and political conserva
tism In the South.
Reporting on the Birch acti
vities in the South, B’nal B’rlth
said In part:
"The South represents the
most solid growth of Birch
strength, as a region,”
However, it was noted that
the South’s trouble spots have
been In Klan strongholds, and
not In those of the Blrchers.
There are also other factors
Involved In the speculation.
Questions are being asked If
Congressional hearings con
ducted In Washington into Klan
activities will be a boon or bust
for the organization. It was
also noted that withdrawals
from the Klan have been slow
and involved mainly those who
are easily scared off by pub
licity.

possibly bea ten and stabbed In
a gutter on this famous, but
tonight, infamous Ave., branded
an "uncle tom” by the dread
five per centers, for helping
a defenseless white man who
Is being attacked by a teenaged
mob. This is one of the few
times I have had the occasion
to Imagine how some whites
feel, when the situation Is re
versed and they, too, want to
help, but If they do they’ll be
attacked by the Klan or some
other white racist group, There
are no police In sight.
The victim crosses 119th St.
and Madison Ave. The alleged
five per centers are almost
upon him-one five per center
leaps through mid-air, not too
much unlike a football pass
catching end, as he gives it
the "old college try” before a
homecoming crowd. The white
man is rlddened to the side
walk. He Is simultaneously
punched, kicked and robbed. We
do not hear a sound from him.
We wonder If he is dead. Three
or four minutes later, he gets
up and continues down Madison
Ave. toward 118th St, Still—he
speaks not a word,, We theorize
he must have been threatened
with death if he yelled for help.
This was too much for us
(you and I). We decide to get
out of here with all deliberate
speed. For Five per centers
turn on Negroes, who are
strangers to the neighborhood,
too, sometimes. We do not want
to be the next victim. We drive
slowly, carefully home. Park
our car and retire by candle
light and our trusty transltor

EDITOR’S NOTE: This poem was composed by Miss
Shirley Ellis, daughter of Mrs. Nina Ellis, 9111/2 New Bern
Avenue. Miss Ellis, now a nationally-known model and singer,
Is known professionally as Shlrlee May. Monday, November
22, marks the second anniversary of the assassination of
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
"JFK"
We borrowed him for a little while,
The dark-blonde hair, the gentle smile.
We followed him for three short years,
Through joy, through sorrow, fear and tears.
t Black man, white man, red man too,
Knew exactly what he aimed to do.
Save his country from communlzation,
End all hatred and discrimination.
We love hlrp even more In death,
Knowing It was one of wealth.
Wealth of love for his fellow man,
Black man, white man, red man, tan.
God, forgive us, we do pray,
God forgive us, we do pray,
As each of us In some small way
Helped to murder our JFK.
