Cheek-A Parodox Of NC Ed
The appearance of Dr. James E.
Cheek in a panel discussion over WU
NC-TV Monday evening along with Dr.
James C. Wallace, assistant professor at
N. C. State University, two newsmen,
one from Raleigh and one from Durham
along with the moderator should have
eliminated some questions about Negro
inferiority and “why”? in the field of
education. Certainly, Dr. Cheek repre
sented adequately the position of a col
lege president, and a Negro as weli who
matriculated some sixteen years in “sep
arate but equal” so-called North Caro
lina education. To prove further that
color was no criteria, Dr. Cheek has an
earned Ph.D. from a leading white uni
versity. has quite an achievement rec
ord in his short tenure at Shaw Univer
sity and, above all, seems to have no
fear of facing the truth.
The Wallace survey undoubtedly will
awaken the need to face up to the evils
of today and where they stem from in
the educational structure of North Car
olina. To keep evading the facts is akin
to the diseased patient who, after a di
agnosis, is afraid to take the needed
steps prescribed. In consequence, the
patient suffers as well as spreads the
disease among others. North Carolina
must be freed from politics and biasness
Beyond The Guidelines
It is all but assured that a hike in the
federal minimum wage will be enacted
by Congress this session. But those who
feel that Congress must establish a Si.6o
minimum rate owe it to the country to
seek their goal by means which add the
least amount to inflationary pressures
and throw as few marginal and begin
ning workers out of jobs as possible.
Present legislation as passed by the
House would lift the minimum wage
from $1.25 to $1.40 an hour in 1967 and
provide for the final jump to $1.60 an
hour 24 months later in ’69. This repre
sents an annual rate of increase over the
two year period amounting to 7.2 per
cent. A proposed amendment to the bill
would make the final jump to $1.60 in
only 12 months—l96B, an election year.
That would amount to a 14.3 per cent
increase in one year—more than four
times the average rate of increase in the
minimum wage over the past 15 years.
If hope of political gain is a considera
tion behind this proposed amendment,
it is a forlorn hope indeed—one can on
ly imagine the inflationary effect, job
Fact And Opinion
Philip A. Fleger, chairman of the

than ever before. Just as we resist for
eign sources that would destroy our
freedom, we must also resist the apathy
which would cause it to crumble from

The responsibilities and demands of a
growing, progressive state have no place
for people who seem to thrive on trying
to prevent others from reaching their
rightful places through education in all
areas of life.
It is time now for all races, creeds and
colors to join in a new concept of at
least becoming aware of the other fel

titled by birth, a constitution, etc. to
the benefits of the same educational cli
mates, facilities and personnel as anyone
else. To continue to beg a question of a
biological difference as did one of the
panel members, is to only show that de
nial of the Negro to his full share of op
portunity is not yet a part of the scheme
of things in the minds of those who
would continue the promotion of frus
tration and discord. However, we trust
there will be more appearances and dis
cussions of these problems by white and
Negro for the benefit of the public. In
this way. it will be up to the public to
decide the calibre being all of us may be.
A vote of thanks to Dr, Wallace for
bringing this issue to the fore is in order
as well as a salute to Dr. Cheek for his
representation of a race whose image

A third amendment has been introduc
ed which, in the interest of price and job
stability, deserves the broadest possible
support I would stretch out the adjust
ment period to 36 months—not estab
lishing the $1.60 minimum until 1970.
Even this would amount to an annual
increase greater than the historical av
erage.
The federal government was given
vast powers over the country when the
original minimum wage law was passed
in 1938. The intention was to eliminate
exploitation and the starvation wage.
As so often happens, government is us
ing ts authority to excess. A wage level
is now proposed that is not a floor— a
minimum—but a maximum that will be
far above the economic worth of tens
of thousands of young people, older
workers and part-time help now em
ployed. Maximum time for adjustment
is needed. The alternative is inflation
and more federal training and welfare
programs to care for the unemployed.

William Howard Taft said: “To obey
the law is to support democracy. If ev

in order that he shall obey it, he does
not support democracy but destroys it.
The basis of good government lies in
the fact that the people are willing to
obey the law as they have determined
it to be.”

CLAIMS HE AUTHORED "BLACK POWER" - Washington
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-N. Y.), is shown during his
press conference at the Capitol July 18. At the conference,
Powell staked his claim to authorship of “Black Power,”
Hing it does not mean Negro nationalism, supremacy or
