They also apparently believed they would never see their words, spoken through an electronic device, in print. These incidents were “trig gered” by our accurate report ing of the murder of Lonnie Everett Atwater, 22, on Satur day night, June 4, allegedly by his girlfriend, Miss Shirley Ann White, 23. The first call came at our home at 1:46 p. m, Thursday. The caller Identified herself as Mrs. Atwater, and gave us ' down the country" for our i "counts of the Atwater slaying. She also threatened to boycott a WILD ii TURKEY 8 YEA R OLD Lj! STRAIGHT BOURBON „”Ji£ m WHISKEY-101 PROOF turkey'! SIWICHT BOURBON WhSei | $ % J? 1 if.

CMIQUHWti SATURDAY, JUNE 18. 1868 the newspaper, “along with sev eral of my friends.” Mrs. Atwater then attacked our column, The Crime Beat, for reasons both she and the writ er know. “What kind of person are you?,” she asked. “Why did you have to print all about his (Atwater 's) past record. We assured Mrs. Atwater that we had no personal grievance against Atwater and hardly knew him. We expressed our sym pathy at the demise of the young man, but emphasized that it is our obligation and responsibili ty to print all the facts and truths, that we know to be true, In our newspaper. The second call, also on Thursday, came at 9:55 p. m., as we were enjoying the final few minutes of “Peyton Place” on television. The “messenger,’’ this time was a man, who seemed so in furiated that we recognized his voice right away and told him. “We know who you are.” He appeared so pent up with emo tion and hate that his conver sation of two minutes dura tion, contained the most vulgar and profane language that the writer has ever had the dis pleasure to hear. The essence of his conver sation was this; “Are you Charles Jones, the managing editor of that paper? We as sured him that we were. Then he said, “Why did you write all that stuff about my boy, Atwater? I’m going to kill you. Profanity was interspersed throughout this short conversa tion, climaxed only by our “hanging up” the telephone. His name is now on file with the proper authorities for further investigation. We hereby put this person on notice that there is no place for fear In our po sition. The final car rier of venom was a woman who called us at our office at 1:16 p. m. last Friday. This woman at tempted to defame our charac ter by bringing up circumstanc es of the past overwhich we had no control. This newsman has known the woman for a num ber of years and was surpris ed at her telephoning. We say to her as Jesus Christ said to the accusers of the Woman at the Well: “Hejhat is without sin, let him cast the fisrt stone.” Any persons with criticisms or praises are hereby invit ed to use our office telephone, as our home facility is re served for our close friends and personal acquaintances. Rest assured also, that our by-line shall appear on murder stories and even baby christ enings, If we chose to let it be so. LBJ’s Rights (Continued from Pace 1) (Continued from last week) LBJ’S CIVIL RIGHTS Editor s Note: The follow ing is the continuance of a story written last week by Newsman Alexander Barnes, entitled, “LBJ’s Civil Rights Are Long Way Off”: METHODISTS ALSO COMPLAIN A similar plaint was voiced by a Methodist leader, who said he knew of no invitations extended to those in his church most concerned with the rights issue. Dr. Payton said that he be lieved the conference’s trou bles resulted from President Johnson’s failure to realize “the amount of stimulation his proposal would make,” when he summoned the conference: in a speech at Howard University a year ago. “Having taken over some of the rhetoric of the civil rights movement, the President got trapped in the substance and he found this was pretty hot stuff,” Dr. Payton said. Capitol Hill, where hearings, started on proposed new civil rights legislation, Monday, was relatively calm except for each enemy. Sen. Sam J. Ervin. Jr., u-N. C., called the whole matter absurd Sunday in a 10,- 000 work statement. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on con stitutional rights, Senator Sam J. Ervin, promised full and complete hearings on the con troversial bill, six other relat ed Senate measures and amend ments to existing legislation. The senator said he has ask ed views and comments on the legislation from governors of all 50 states, law professors and the chief education officer K r state in which federal o . ■ y.s arc trying to apply sencol integration guidelines. He did praise President John son for submitting to Congress the proposed ban on discrimina tion in rental, lease or sale of housing instead of trying to put this into operation by existing order. Some civil rights advocates have criticized the President for not integrating housing by the ‘ stroke of a pen.” Ervin said the proposed ban on discrimination in housing “would deprive the American people of the right to sell, lease or rent their property to whom they choose.” It is absurd, he continued, to contend that real property Is part of the interstate commerce and so subject to federal con trols. It is ridiculous to argue that human rights rank above prop erty rights, he said. “Property has no rights, only attributes,” Ervin said. “The right to property is a human right, a civil right -a right expressly protected by the con stitution. “Conversely, failure to pro tect the human right to prop erty is a typical characteris tic of totalitarian states along with the denial of freedom of speech, press and religion.” Numerous states and cities now have fair housing laws, Er vin noted, ‘ although none with coverages as broad as the one proposed here. “Yet the largest slums and ghettos of which we hear so much are in states with fair housing laws, and no appre ciable change in housing pat terns ever followed their enact ment.” Five Jailed (Continued from Pace 1) face with a soft drink crate. Then .Charles Lee, 21, of 14 McMakin St., joined the melee, and he hit Miss Ella Mae Mc- Lamb, 30, of 619 1/2 E. Har gett, with his hands and fists and Miss McLamb retaliated by stabbing young Lee in the back with an ice pick. Lee then hit Walter Lane, 63, of 208 Spence St., about the face with his hands and fists. Shortly thereafter, all five resumed the fight outside the Latin Casino, and were so en gaged when the patrolmen came upon the scene at Boundary and S. Haywood Streets. Exhibiting bruises were Wal ter Lane, Mrs.Williams,Swade Archible, and Ella McLamb, all of whom were treated and re leased at Wake Memorial Hos pital before being taken to Wake County Jail. Lane, Mrs. Williams, Miss McLamb and Archible had stab wounds in the back, while Lane and Mrs. Williams were also treated for facial and eye wounds. Miss Dorothy McLamb, the complainant, was not arrested.

No man in our lodge or any other lodge has served a craft with more religious diligence than Brother Jones.

I here and now pledge to you a tenure of service in which each meeting will be planned and in which you, every one of you, will be called upon to hold in this planning. We shall need your ideas in our meetings and I, as your Master, will Need Your Prayers,” he concluded. Negroes Get (Continued from Page 1) Progress program, Humphrey disclosed that employment of non-whites in white collar jobs by companies affiliated with the program increased 9,818 last year, out of 95,390 new white collar jobs. The year before, non-whites got 6,629 new white-collar jobs with 100 program - affiliated firms, out of 19, 276 new white collar jobs. “Thus between 1963 and 1961, non-whites represented some thing over one in three of the increase in white collar em ployment. Between 1964 and 1965, they represented some thing over one in 10,” he said. While the total number of new white-collar jobs for Negroes was larger last year than the year before, the overall number of new white-collar jobs was much larger than before. “In other words, the pie got larger last year, but non-whites didn't get as large a share as they did in the previous per iod despite the affirmative action program of these 100 leading companies,” Humphrey added. ■was* _ DR„ F.
