B. BARREN CHARLOTTE—In an inter view here last week with North Carolina NAACP president Kel ly Miller Alexander,Sr., it was revealed that the plans of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People call for an all-out assault on ail bastions of segregation and discrimination and deprivation of equal job and school op portunities affecting Negroes. Amember of the national board of directors, Alexander had just returned from a speak ing engagement in Columbia, S. C.,where he warned that acts of violence by the segregation ists-such as the recent bombing of his home and those of three other Colored civil rights lead ers in Charlotte-will not stop the fight for equal rights. In stead, he stated, “These das tardly deeds of violence will serve to Intensify the fight a gainst segregation on the part of the underprivileged Negroes. NAACP attention “Will be fo cused on the federal assistance programs and how best to help get our people Informed about them and to take advantage of them to their benefit”, Alexan der said, adding, “Leaders must have a clearer knowledge (See PUSH FEDERAL, P. 2) A tty.

He was named by the National Council o ‘ CORE.

S. Circuit Court of Appeals here to over turn a lower court’s refusal to enjoin Baltimore police from searching private buildings without first obtaining search warrants. NAACP Legal Defense and Ed ucational Fund lawyers, along with attorneys for the Baltimore NAACP branch, brought the ap peal in behalf of seven Balti more Negroes. The suit is a class action in behalf of all Negroes similar ly situated. It stems fron an intensive police manhunt a year ago for two Negro brothers sus pected of the Christmas Eve holdup of a liquor store and the subsequent shooting of two white policemen. In the 19 days following the crimes, special police squads, in many cases acting on anony mous “tips," conducted more then 300 searches of Negro homes, churches and busines ses for the brothers, Samuel and Earl Veney.

As a result of the raids, Ne gro residents of Baltimore, through the Legal Defense Fund and the NAACP, asked the U. S. District Court in Baltimore to enjoin Police Commissioner Bernard C, Schmidt and his sub ordinates from continuing such searches. After lengthy hearings last January and February, the court on April 14 declined to issue injunctions. The Veney brothers were ar rested in March. The district court found that there was not enough evidence to substantiate charges of racial discrimination in the conduct of the searches. It rejected a Legal Defense Fund argument that police are constitutionally bound to obtain a search warrant before ente ring private buildings to search for a person named in an ar rest warrant.

(UP! PHOTO). Community Void Created By Lade Os Imagination NEW YORK, N. Y, - A ser ious void in the marketing plans of most U, S, comapnies is providing some firms with an unp&ralled opportunity to get the lion's share of a burgeon ing segment of the population, with purchasing power rapidly approaching the S3O billion mark. According to "Concepts," a newsletter published by the fi naclal-industrial public rela tions firm of Irving L. Straus Associates, Inc., and circulated to more than 7,500 corporation presidents, "influencing and capturing this market is not a matter of just throwing a switch. It calls for different and ima ginative techniques. "Because of the long-stand ing nature of our society," the newsletter points out, "there sere basic communication prob lems. Business and industry cannot hope to influence Negro thinking through white-orient ed media and eyes. Newbridg es must be built. And, one of the most important of these Is that of identifying your com pany and your product with the Negro market, "Unless Negroes are con vinced that you really care a bout them as human beings, as well as potential customers," the publication warns, "they are not likely to care about you or your products." The logical starting point for an institutional or product sales program Is, of course, a study of the market, "Concepts" ad vises. Not a superficial skim ming of published material, but an interpretation of the market as it applies to a company’s products of services. Further, US Admits Error In Juries NEW (UEt.ANS, I a.—The U. S. Government has admitted er ror in the picking of jurieswhich convicted six members of the famous Albany Movement inG-a. in 1963. This confession of error came during arguments before the U. S. Court of Appeals here on the whole question of jury selection in the South. The court’s decision in the seve ral cases heard could have far reaching effect on the jury sy stem, which has been under at tack because of bias in civil rights cases. The unusual confession of er ror in the Albany Cases was made by Nathan Lewin, trial attorney for the U. S. Depart ment of Justice, Washington. Members of the Albany Move ment and friends throughout the nation had been pressing the department for such an,, admission. Lewin asked the Appeals Court to upset the convictions of the Albany group, set aside their sentences, and order new trials for them. However, he did not confess error in picking the grand jury which indicted them. Attorneys for the Albany de fendants contend that the charge should be thrown out completely because there Is as much bias in the selection of grand juries as in the picking of trial juries. If the Appeals Court adopts the government's position, the Albany group will at least get new trials. If it adopts the CSee Asm&rn SMBOft, 9. R since the Negro viewpoint is the essential ingredient in this pic ture, it would be wise to in clude a Negro consultant in the research group. Barring adverse publicity on hiring or other areas of dis crimination, communication with the Negro market through Negro-oriented media is the surest way to establish rapport, "Concepts" points out. Today, there are more than 700 Negro radio stations (vs. 3 two de cades ago) and some 160 week ly and semi-weekly newspap ers. The leading Negro nation al magazine, "Ebony," claims readership by more than half of the Negro household in 78 major cities. Advertising (with Negro models) and publicity are only the beginning. Depending on the t IH m KU.UOM, W. 8) ‘Poor Most Not Pay For Viet War’ Boston, Massachusetts-" The poor must not be asked to pay for the war in Vietnam through a slow-down in the War-on- Poverty," declared Congress man John Conyers, Jr. (Dem- Mich.) last Saturday. "The newspapers are full of stories about eliminating the planned large annual Increases in the various educational, health, job-training and job-producing programs which Congress pas sed in the last two years. In some instances there is discus sion of cutting some of the programs even below last years level. The Republicans in Con gress who consistently oppose every item in the Great So ciety program are now clamo ring for the delay or cancel lation of these programs. They infer that bringing democracy and economic security to the Vietnamese peasants requires a slow-down in our efforts to res cue the one out of five Ameri can families who are trapped in sell-porpetuating poverty. After finally giving a measure of hope to the exonomically and socially desprived, America must not now ask the poorest among us to bear the major, burden of the Vietnamese war.” Conyers also referred to "various proposals scheduled for action at the start of the new year which are now being stamped ‘postponed for the du ration.’ We must adequately finance the rent subsidy pro gram which, unique among pub lic housing proposals, would not increase but decrease housing segregation. Another possible casualty of the war is the pro posal to launch a major pub lic works program to create a half million jobs for adults which would help to finally eliminate high level unemploy ment in a boom economy."
