The question of how far does leader

looked to for what is known as leader

it ends, in any given area, poses another
searching concern, not only to the per
son in the capeeity of a leader, but also
to those who would benefit or suffer
from his or her efforts, America today,
more than ever, will face a need for gen
uine, unselfish men and women, who are
dedicated to forthrightness, honesty and
brotherhood. The bigness of the entire
American scope, as it emerges into a new
century will challenge policymakers to
be more aware of human beings and not
prestige and things. The concept of live
and let live will have further impact up
on the minds of policymakers and lead
ers as people become more conscious of
the glittering scene of plenty: new
homes, good food, smart clothes, fancy
living and a desire for living better in a
world of plenty.
The still prevalent idea of control by
a few of the many, which caused riots
and unrest throughout America will
find deterioration as the masses are bet

The dastardly crime of rape is about
as repulsive to a human soul as possibly
the lowest sins and evils demonstrated
by mankind. The utter animal-like use
of a human body by human beings
should provoke any judge and jury to
its limits in punishment of the culprits
involved.
North Carolina's Oxford was the scene
of a recent raping of a 17-year-old Ne
gro girl by five white men. The raping
according to reports lasted several
hours, during which the young woman
was raped eleven times. The men were
tried hst Thursday and given 15-year
prison terms, the maximum under the
charges accepted.

Leadership and policymakers will be
looked to for a greater part of their hu
man relationship. They will, no doubt,
be asked to become a larger part of the
thrust of new relationships. Older and
wiser persons may even be shelved be
cause of the enormous vitality required
in an era of stress and strain which
should outdistance any we have known.
As we gear for this oncoming demand
upon the energies and enlightenment of
the American mind into a new under
standing of human to human, our future
performances could well be the pilot
ground for a new concept of what really
is the answer to the much talked and
wanted world peace The question of
how far does leadership go here in Ra
leigh and North Carolina, may well be
answered by saying it is world-wide. For
as we homogenize the ingredients of bro
therhood and understanding, we will al
so demonstrate to all mankind that

corded a different result than only plac
ing these men where they belong. Too
long have we placed those committing a
crime in prison and almost totally for
getting the victim. It seems reasonabe to
legislate from society (Granville Coun
try’) sufficient tax money, etc., to. in a
measure, assure such a victim that pris
on punishment alone will not rectify
such a circumstance.
If and when society, which has also
suffered this raping, pays through its
nose for these crimes in dollars and
cents, especially by levying fines upon
the prepetrators. raping will lessen and
possibly cease A SIO,OOO automatic fine
to be given to the victim from the coun
ty would, we believe, have far-reaching
effects.
Then the Associaton came to what
may well be the heart of the matter. It
said it would support any necessary in
creases in taxes but added: “We believe
strongly . . . that no request for an e
mergency tax increase should be made
or granted without firm accompanying
efforts to cut back on domestic spend
ing proposals.”
This, it is clear, is a reference to the
government's effort to fight a major war
and at the same time pursue welfare
programs of unpredictable scone and
cost. Under these conditions, inflation is
not only probable but inevitable. And,
ironically, everytime the value of the
dollar declines we automatically create
new/ classes of poor—while a war on pov
erty' is a primary government objective!

An angry Raleigh woman
stabbed a dog in the neck Mon
day because it’s owner refused
to let the animal fight with
another dog.
Willie Douglas, 43, of 106 i/2
N. Carver St., told two cops
at 5:58 p. m, Monday, that he
had his Irish Setter dog tied
in his own back yard.
Douglas declared that Mrs.
Maggie Bell Harris, 53, of 111
N. Fisher St., located behind his
house, came over in his yard
and "tried to get me to let
my dog fight with her’s.” Doug
las refused.
Mrs. Harris is then reported
to have returned to her house,
got a 10-inch long kitchen case
knife, came hack into the Doug
las back yard and stabbed the
Irish Setter in the left side of
the neck.
He signed a warrant and Mrs.
Harris was arrested and placed
under bond.
All efforts to try and find
out why she allegedly wanted a
dog fight have failed.
It is still undetermined why
she would take her apparent
anger at Douglas out on his dog.
She faces trial this week in
City Court on a charge of cruel

the possibility of being jailed
after they were held in contempt

The Powells had been order
ed, in the subpoenas, to give
a financial accounting in con

The court did not specify
whether they were in civil con

However, State Supreme

said he saw no reason the
court should not grant “all the
relief requested.”
l awyers representing Mrs.

in both civil and criminal con

Mrs. James won a defamation
