C. State Univer sity's William Neal Reynold’s Coliseum last Sunday afternoon attests to his abil ity to atract the American public. It would take a basketball game between N. C. State University and one of the ACC teams, during a hot basketball sea son, to bring more patrons to a Coli seum attraction, or one of the country’s most noted politicians or heroes. Dr. King’s magic is unquestionably compelling. His words and thoughts, along with his courage to stand by his convictions, place him high up on the ladder of those who are carving the American social, political, economic and religious ideal, It was fitting that the Southern Chris tian Leadership Conference and he Ne gro Heritage Library of North Carolina sponsor this world renown Negro. Those who agree with Dr. King’s phi losophy of non-violence as a means to complete citizenship know that there would be no need for him or anyone else to contend for another’s right should governments, agencies, politicians and policy-makers learn to respect every body’s right as a human being no mat ter what his station or color may be. As long as some people believe there is need to deny others in order that they might stay on the top, there will be trouble t I In urging the broadest possble corpo rate support of education, the president of a major oil company (Standard Oil Company of Indiana) declares: “The . free university and a free economic sys tem are two vital elements in the foun dation of a free society ... In concert, they have been instrumental in giving us a civilization in which individual ac cess to ideas and material well-being are unmatched. If we are to maintain a free society, we must take care to protect the freedom of our leadership universities.” According to a late survey, business I Gr assroot $ Opinion CORVALLIS, Ore., Herald : “Red China now has 100 million more peo ple to feed than she had before the com munists took over the country. In the 20 years they have been in control the communists have tried to control the farmers like Russia does. The result is that the Chinese farmers are now pro ducing less than they did in 1930. That is the reason China is having to buy wheat from Canada.” On March 28, 1944, Dr. John Henry Hale, chief surgeon at Meharry Medi cal College died at the age of 6S. He is credited with having performed over 30,000 oprations during his career. ***** .Seventy percent of the outer leaves Altar Reading Tbs CAROLINIAN Ghre it To A Friend '«***» -MW*' liLlWliii -II— w» *«np*» -*K»f **¥¥*¥¥¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Man Goes Berserk; Ruins Neighbor’s Living Room Furniture - Jailed Here ■ VOL. 26, NO. 37 Say South May Secede Two Durham Boys Cut In City and a need for hundreds of Dr. Kings to preach and promote a gospel of fair play and true democracy for everyone. America is fortunate to have a person of Dr. King’s calibre to chide its con science about the wrongs perpetrated on those who have suffered sub-standard living and thinking for so many years that many believe it should be the lot of the unfortunate sub-standard-living whites and Negroes. If we had no rules and regulations to go by, our society would be akin to heathens living in mid eival times. If we had no management or labor unions representing a particular group, their lots would be jeopardized. Likewise, all segments in America must be on the alert to be certain that no one or movement usurps their entitled rights under the law. Dr. King certainly preaches and prac tices a gospel for all people. His interest in the Negro in particular is natural and understandable. The clarity of his non violent movement should make no one angry unless there is motive of denial of one’s rights. Raleigh was indeed fortunate to have had such a luminary include it in his busy schedule. We hope his influence will remain among us to a point that there will be no need for any kind of movement—-violent or non-violent . . . and that Dr. King will not have to re turn to lead a march for our benefit. corporations contributed some $174 mil ion to colleges and universities in the 1964-65 academic year. Including such additional aid as scholarships and fel lowships, it is estimated that total corp orate contributions to higher education were in the neighborhood of $283 mil lion. It would be a fatal error to assume that education should be supported pri marily by tax-derived government funds, especially federal funds. What government pays for, it controls. Volun tary private support of education is es sential to freedom.

(Sre r-RTMTI BEAT * 'Flower Is Yet To Come’ BY STAFF WRITERS The Rev. Dr. Martin Lutner King, Jr. told some 9,000 Negroes and w'hites here last Sunday that “Tht| plant of free dom has grown a bud, but yet not blossomed into a flower.” A group of approximately 7,000 Negroes and 2,000 whites sat joyfully Sunday afternoon at the W. N. Reynolds Coli seum to greet Dr. King, presi dent of the S. C. L, C Dr. King said the Negro’s progress in the struggle for racial equality has progressed, but urged him to continue by peaceful means “across the border to the promised land”. He stressed the fact that “we have come a long, long way, but we have a long way to go before freedom is a reality.” The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner’s visit was sponsored by the Martin Luther King Fo rum, a local ad hoc committee served by Attorney Romallus O.
