2 tm emomnm ItALEIGH; N. C.. SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1966 Elk Leader (COEtinued front p«g« 1) m. In telling o£ iiis experi ence, Barnes says that he was 1 met at the door by a white woman, who he believed to be the wife of Mr, Jones, and when he asked to see Mr. Jones she graciously agreed to have Mr. Barnes meet him. It was not very long before Mr. Jones came to the front door and extended his hand in a cordial greeting. Mr, Barnes is said to have told the Klan leader that he wanted to know whether he had receh'ed the request and whether he would be present. Jones is said to have replied that he had re ceived the invitation and was seriously considering accept ing. He also said that a tight schedule had prevented him from answering the letter. He made it plain that he had to consult his superiors and would give his answer not later than Monday. Mr. Jones told of his asso ciation with Negroes and said that there were many he count ed as his personal friends and - that sliQuld lie appear on the panel he would like very much for them to be present. He ask ed if Attorney McKissick would be one of the panel members and was told that he was being considered along with L. E. Austin, Ur. Frank Graham, Ca pus Waynick and Malcolm Sea well. According to Barnes, such names as P. R. Jervay, editor of the CAROLINIAN, Tom Jervay, editor of the Wilming ton Journal and Dr. A. B. Mose ly, whom Barnes succeeded as directoi of Civil Liberties, have been mentioned. It is to be remembered that very little had been done about the activity of the Klan in the State until Barnes attacked the organization in a speech at Sea board in early 1965. He told the audience that the only wea pons against the hate organiza tion were prayer and the bal lot. When asked what prompt ed him to go to Jones’ home, he said, “I felt that enough prayers had been offered to melt Jones’ heart to the extent that he would admit me Into his home, I am now sure that they have, for he greeted me in a most gracious manner.” It should be remembered that the Civil Liberties Department of the Elks was the first or ganization to focus attention, in North Carolina, on the evils of discrimination. It was un der the leadership ofDr.Mose ly that the first railroad case was taken to the courts and e ventually won. Dr. Mosely protested the treatment of a young woman who was given rough treatment when she re fused to accept discriminatory treatment on a train and was the object of insults and abuses as the train neared Weldon. The Elks spearheaded the case and the NAACP took it to court. Barnes does not have the support of all the Elks. A letter, signed by E. M. But ler, Wilmington, state secre tary, that the committee on program went on record as be ing against having any part of Jones on any program. But ler is alleged to have further told Barnes that the time had come to cease agitation and to take stock of the recent gains and the results there from. Barnes feels that such a meeting with Jones would not only increase the image of the Elks in the State, but would bring the Klanleader face to face with the issues involved in the fight for human rights. It was Barnes’ opinion that the best way to settle grave differences was for the spon sors of different ideaoligies to sit down together and attempt to reach a common agreement. It is the thinking of the di rector of the Civil Liberties Department that the Negro is far from victory In North Car olina and cannot afford to sit on any imaginary laurels, but must pursue every course to gain the goals that are appear ing on the horizon. He feels that Jones’ opinion and course can be changed if he is expos ed to a free and open discus sion. ECA Sets (Continued from page 1) Rev. Ward succeeds the Rev, John w. Fleming as president, and Lightner takes over the reins formerly held by C. Karl Lichtman, In a news release dated March 1, RCA had the following to say about the discrimination suits brought against Wake Memorial and Rex Hospitals here last week: “The Raleigh Citizens Asso ciation, cognizant of the fact that discrimination has been practiced at both the Wake Memorial and Rex Hospitals, is greatly disturbed by such prac tices. “Any institution supported by funds raised through taxes on both the federal and local levels is violating the Civil Rights Act when an individual is limit ed to a segment of the In stitution as at Wake Memorial, or is denied the use of the in stitution’s facilities, as at Rex solely on the basis of color. “The Raleigh Citizens Asso ciation, believing in the integri ty of the court system of this country in eliminating wrongs stemming from discriminatory practices, fully endorses the action of the Raleigh Branch of NAAC P in bringing suits against Wake Memorial and Rex Hos pitals," it concluded.

At this time, police report, Miss Smith ap proached the victim and slash ed him across the left side of his face with the blade. Clevelle McDougal, 33, of 1608 Cross Street, came into the house at this time, it was reported. It is believed that the scuffle between Miss Smith and Banks was still raging at this time, and McDougal told Mr. Banks to “leave her a lone.” McDougal informed the of ficers that then Banks started to advance on him with the knife, which he had apparently taken away from Miss Smith again, he shot him ir. the right hip with a .22 calibre pistol. Miss Smith and Clevelle Mc- Dougal signed warrants, charg ing Banks with assault with a deadly weapon. They w ere jailed on that exact charge, however, and Banks was admitted to Wake Memorial Hospital for treatment of his wounds. The officers were unable to locate the pistol used by Mc- Dougal. A motive triggering the in cident between Banks and Miss Smith could not be ascertained. Both the woman and McDougal will receive a prelim nary hearing in City Court when the victim is able to testify. Banks will probably be ar rested on the warrants signed by the pair also.

By Thursday night, the grievances had been recognized, students were told that immediate action would be taken, and the boycott was called-off.
