EDITORIAL FEATURE ' I We have watched developments in North Carolina for 25 years as they af fect the economy and the political life of the state. We have kept abreast with the civil disturbances and imaginary gains which the Negro feels he has made in the quest for fist-class citizenship and we have reached the conclusion that the Negro's fate is definitely tied to the bal lot box. We have no quarrel with demonstra tions. They have played a great part in dramatizing the conditions in the state and in the nation. We think, however, that May 28th is the day which the Ne gro can strike the most telling blow of the era. We must go to the polls and vote, not the political boss’s convictions but onr convitdons. This is a crucial time in the history of the Negro in the state. We cannot sit back and say “We are going to get what they want us to have!” It has been shown that what the politicians want us to have is nothing and that is what we have been getting We must scan the field and pick the candidates who seem most favorable, not to the Negro’s cause only, but to the cause of HUMAN RIGHTS. We dare not suggest that Negroes vote for a can didate due to the fact that he promises to make things better for Negroes, We say vote for the candidates who have the interest of all citizens at heart. We are not suggesting that you vote for Negro candidates just because they are Ne groes. Certainly some Negro representa tion in the halls of government is better than no representation, but if it is fraught with greed, personal angrandize ment, and power then we should look at the other side of the street. If the Ne gro candidate has been put up to satisfy the power structure when voting for him will only enhance the power of the pow er structure. May 28th is the time to march to a fuller opportunity for the Negro. Can- As an aftermath of the power black out in the northeastern U. S., the Mon ongahela News says “Consolidated Edi son still is sweating out the problem of finding a power plant location accept able to everyone. In their fight with th< conservationists and nature lovers who have blocked, at least temporarily, Con Ed’s proposal for a pumped storage pro ject at Cornwall, on the Hudson, the company recently got a bit of support from Robert Moses, chairman of the New York City Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority. Moses said that turn ing the control of the city’s water and power supplies to ‘bird watchers’ is the wrong solution.” Congressman Wendell Wyatt, of On - gon, called inflation “nothing but legal ized robbery.” The Oregon Department of Motor V< hides has released statistics which show that 63 per cent of the 70 motorists who failed to produce driver’s licenses when stopped at New Year’s Eve roadblocks had no legal right to drive. Twenty eight and six tenths per cent of the drivers had no driver’s license; 17 per cent were driv ing while suspended; 10 per cent had no Oregon driver’s license, but had a rec ord on file as a result of previous acci dents or violations; and 7 per cent had allowed their licenses to expire. The re i maining 37 per cent (26 drivers) had I valid licenses, but did not have them in their possession when stopped. The Indian government—facing the Wefts Area In Uproar Over Shot LOS ANGELES - A fatal shot, which local patrolman J. H. Bcva, 23, insisted was acci dental here last week, was the cause of a “sympathy march” to Zion Baptist Church Monday morning, prior to the funeral of Leonard Deadwyler, 25, who was killed while taking his preg nant wife to a hospital “to have a baby.” Bova has been relieved of field duty, pending investiga tion, as wide concern has been aroused in both church and ci vic groups over the incident. The cop contended that Mr. Deadwyler, who came herewith his wife and children from Gainsville, Ga., about 11 months ago, was driving his 1956 Bulck about 85 miles an hour when he began chasing the car. Bova said further that after he caught up with Deadwyler’s automobile and began ques tioning the driver, they engaged in a heated conversation and the car continued to move, Bova delcared he was being dragged as he clung to the car door on the passenger’s side of the front seat. He added that when he thrust his head and shoulders inside the car to turn off the ignition, the motion of the car caused his service revolver to fire. 7 he bullet passed the preg nant wife. Mrs. Barbara Dead (See WATTS IN. P. 2) didates should be quizzed as to how they feel about Negroes getting better jobs, better pay and the proper consideration as a human being The hour wage law should be a prime factor in the selection of members of the legislature. Employ ment of Negroes in white collar jobs, if qualified, should animate one’s thinking in selecting candidates on March 28th. Information as to whether a Candi das for sheriff will endorse Jim Clark | as the type of law enforcement officer . which the nation needs should certainly be sought. Information as to whether a candidate for sheriff will permit his dep- J utit-s to forcibly enter a man’s home, akt him out. beat him up and then ho (the sheriff) condone same by not even suspending the deputies while the in vest.ga' on is going on. A candidate | seeking tht office of Secretary of State j should be asked whether he will license * a group of persons to openly defy the lav/ of the land by threatening law abid ing citizens, by bombing, epithets and even night riding. The Negro voter should take a cue § from the old man who heard the clock strike thirteen and wi ke his wife and said, “Wake up, the clock has just struck thirteen and it is later than it has ever been”. It is truly later than it has ever been and the Negro voter needs to wake | up on May 28th and march, march, march, not in the streets, but to the polls. A real demonstration to the polls I on May 28th can put North Carolina on the right path. Having a million Negroes registered and voting only a few means i nothing. Registering is only the begin ning of the job. You must also vote to be to vote and you must also vote to be I effective. The time to march is May § 28th, from mountain to sea coast and from Halifax to the South Carolina line, k Don't vote for the power structure, don’t | vote for the politician, vote for HUMAN RIGHTS. 4 mt -1 worst famine in 18 years—asked the In- » dian Red Cross to operate supplemen- $ tary feeding stations throughout the 260 | Red Cross branches in the famine area. r According to reports from India, most | immediate need is for rice, milk pow- 1 der, protein rich food, baby foods and * multivitamines.

A bram, President of the Ameri can Jewish Committee, referr ing last week, to the problem of discrimination in the U.

The end of the problem of discrim ination is not in sight. We know too that neither legislation nor its strict and effective enforce ment will eliminate color or religion prejudice and discrim ination and fulfill the rights of all Americans.” (See "FOCIS ON GOALS”, P. 2) Expect From 3 To 5,000 At Hammocks Bus for the Hammock’s Pll- I'Hrnage will load at 7 a. m. and will leave the Union Bus Sta tion, Raleigh, at 7:15 a. m.
