the Rev. George Dorsett, of
Greensboro, reminded them
that “Klansmen never attended
civil rights meetings, so
Negroes should never attend
our meetings.'’
A shuffling around of the
infamous ‘-Security Guard” of
the Klan followed each time
Negroes inside the massive
building moved from one sec
tion of the inside to another.
Raleigh City Officials locked
the doors about 2:15 p.m. with
a packed house, leaving other
hooded members and Negro
spectators outside. The out
door crowd was addressed by
each speaker, after they finished
their platform addresses, from
the front of the auditorium.
A “Security Guard”, Bobby
Wayne Murrell, 17, of Gibson
ville, was arrested for carring
a concealed tear gas gun; Mrs.
william L. Beach, of Sanford
was arrested for an incident
}n Nash Square some three
weeks ago after Miss Louise
Brame, a U.N.C. student, iden
tified Mrs. Beach as the woman
who assaulted her at Nash
Square when the Klan invaded
the Capital City shortly before
an address, at Reynolds Coli
seum by the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Other arrests included: Ros
coe Creed, of Pilot Mountain,
charged with insulting another
of his own race (a white man)
by calling him “a white nigger”;
John Howard, of New River,
carring a concealed weapon (a
switch blade knife); and Albert
Crisp, of Ta r boro, public
drunkenness.
Several hundred Raleigh Po
licemen, Wake County Sheriff’s
deputies and State Troopers
surrounded the auditorium and
were stationed throughout the
building during the rally. Na
tional Guard troops were also
on alert standby in case any
violence erupted. K lans men and
their followers, as the Negroes
approached the auditorium, in
side greeted them with shouts
of “niggers, niggers, niggers!”
Robert Shelton, of Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, Imperial Wizard of
the United Klans of America,
told the cheering and applaud
ing audience that, “the issue
in America today is not white
against Negro, it is simply
American Christians against A- .
merican Communists.”
Police poised for action as
Rev. Geroge Dorsett, chaplain,
whipped the audience to a fever
pitch over the presence of
Negroes at the rally, and at
that time, the Negroes left the
audience. Dorsett, frequently
interrupted by loud cheers,
said, “I came to Raleigh ready
to die for the cause 1 believe
in. I don’t care how many
nightsticks guards there are.
I will go as far as my life
blood takes me. Many here
are ready to die for the cause,”
Dorsett also made the state
ment to his followers who as
sembled outside of the audi
torium to hear him.
In his statements to the crowd
outside, Dorsett repeated those
same words and, at that time,
he * was halted by several
Negroes telling him to “come
down and in the street and you
will die.” Dorsett also pin
pointed his address to say, “We
don't believe in violence and
we don’t intend to have any
violence if we have to kill every
Negro in America, the white
man will be pushed only so
far. As Dorsett went on with
his “speech” he was heckled
at by the several hundred
Negroes. Arrested for cursing
in a public place was the Negro,
Samuel Perry, of 324 West
South Street, Raleigh. He was
placed in W'ake County Jail
under a 525 bond.
Perry stated that the Klans
men were passing out news
papers (The Fiery Cross) to
white spectators and Klansmen
only and some white spectator
gave a Negro friend of his
the paper because he stated he
was Interested in what the paper
was trying to say, and at that
time Perry asked his friend,
“Let me see what’s in that
S-O-B” (paper) and officer A.
L. Watkins placed him under
arrest.
The Fiery Cross, a news
paper distributed by the hooded
order, had enclosed 50 reasons
why whites should join the Klan.
One of the main reasons was
because it is “opposed to forc
ing defenseless children to have
Negro playmates, also because
they oppose niggers teaching
white children in public schools,
which they will do in all In
tegrated schools before long.”
These were only a few of
the points the Fiery Cross paper
pointed out.
JOINT MEET
(Continued from pace i)
erend Charles W. Wald, and the
local branch of the NAACP,
headed by Mrs. Millie Veasey,
will sponsor a joint meeting
at the First Baptist Church,
South Wilmington and East
Morgan Stceets.
“It is the opinion of some
that a problem will go away
simply by ignoring it. This
Is not so. Apathy has been
responsible for the growth of
the Klans in North Carolina.
“It is time to speak out,
to take a stand, to let the voice
of truth and justice be heard.
The meeting is opened to the
public. We urge you to attend,
and to participate in the forum.
Remember, it was apathy in.

in which Hitler planted his need
of hatred that led to the death
of 6,000 Jews and to a world

lion persons.
In a foreword ot the publica
tion, Secretary of Commerce
John T. Connor says “this mar
ket represents for America both
an opportunity and an oblu i
tion. It will be an increasing
ly profitable market as the
Negro is given greater oppor
tunity to contribute to, and share
in, the general prosperity.”
The Secretar y said business
men who are attracted to this
market “should turn to those
who know it best and these
are the Negro businessmen.”
He particularly recommended
franchise operations in part
nership with Negroes.
“I am confident that we in
America will quicken our pro
gress toward bringing both the
Negro consumer and the Negro
businessmen into full partici
pation in economic society
and that the results will be a
better, happier, healthier A
merica for all,” Secretary Con
nor said.
Discussing economic trends
in the Negro market, the pub
lication says that “while the
overall pattern of expenditures
by Negro families continues to
be typical of that generally found
among low-income groups,
there is also evidence of rapid
ly emerging middle class
spending habits.”

Mr. Carper took the time
to r§ad over every recommen
dation. At intervals, he sopped
to point out where his authority
began and ended.
He praised the committee
for its recommendations,
saying, “1 can’t do the job
alone, neither can you. But
together we can.” He opened
the doors of his office at any
and all times and urged
C. H. I, A., to come often.
“PEEPING TOMS” IN AF: A
Residents of Chavis Heights
have had a rash of “Peeping
Tom” experiences recently,
according to reports made to
this reporter. While this may
not be the first complaint, Mrs.
Jessie H. Copeland, Mecklen-*
berg Terrace, reported that
on Saturday, June 25, about
midnight, after looking at the
midnight movie, she noticed
an army fatigue hat at the
window. Taking the necessary
precautions, she observed the
man to be of medium stature.
Terrified inmates of the house
screamed and “Tom” im
mediately headed in the direc
tion of the softball field and
Holmes Street. The story was
corroborated by her daughter
in-law, Mrs. Edith Copeland,
and by Charles and George
C opeland.
Things then tapered off for
the Heights, at least that South
ern portion, until August 6.
On that night, Edward Wiggs,
18 Mecklenburg Terrace, en
countered another “Tom". Mr.
Wiggs said, “As I recall, It
was about 11:30 p.m. I had
been watching the ‘Late Show’.
1 happened to look toward the
front window and 1 saw the
face of a man. peering through.
I asked him what he wanted,
but there was no answer. When
I got to the door, he had dis
appeared between the two units
of Lincoln Terrace”.
Mr. Wiggs described the
“Tom” as being about 5 ft., 6
inches tall, of medium stature,
wearing a hat and a pair of
dark trousers. Asked if he
reported it, Mr. Wiggs said
he had no phone.
Last Friday night, about 10
o’clock, “Tom” decided to
‘Peep in’ on Miss “Dot” Gale,
21 Mecklenberg Terrace. Miss
Gale said, “I had cut off the
T.V., but was reading the paper.
Looking up from the paper,
I saw a moving object just
outside my front window. That
made me ‘real’ angry. I reach
ed for my gun, but when I got
to the door, he was running
between the two units of Lincoln
Terrace.”
Miss Gale described him of
medium stature with a dark
suit and hat.
She could give no further in
formation.
Last Saturday night, Charles
“Shagg” Little left the home of
Mr. Argo Sanders on his way
to have a slight chat with his
mother, Mrs. Janie Little of
Hyde Terrace. Just at the
back steps of No. 2 Hyde Ter
race, he was waylaid by three
teenagers for a while. He
fought a losing battle, but be
fore the noise could subside,
Little was joined by his form
er neighbor, Mr. Charles Ad
cock.
In seconds, the teenagers
added ten more. Little and
Adcock retired to 2 Hyde Ter
race. Little was badly beaten.
No Identification had been made
as we go to press.

NCTA’S EVENTS
(Continued from page 1)

sentation of the President’s Pin
to the new NCACT President,
Mrs. Dorothy Jackson, who pre
sided over the Classroom
Teachers Day session. Invo
cation was given by Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Venable, vice-presi
dent, NCACT. Faith of Ameri
can Teachers was led by Mrs.
Gladys N. Bailey.
Professional Unity Our
Commitment is the theme of the
North Carolina Association of
Classroom Teachers. The gen
eral theme of the National Edu
cation Association and the North
Carolina Teachers Association
is, “Individual Commitment to
Professional Excellence.”
“Professional Negotiations”
was the topic of discussion at
the Friday, August 12, NEA
day session of the joint Leader
ship Conference of the North
Carolina Teacher Association
and National Education As
sociation, held at the Ham
mocks Beach, Swansboro.
“Teachers will have to de
velop means of coercive power.
Public decisions are best
reached from a multiple point
of view,” said John Carlson,
associate director, Urban Serv
ice Division, NEA. Teachers
must be politically active to
get what they want and form
strategic alliances in the com
munity by affiliating with other
educational groups. It is
crucially important that teach
ers develop a collective
esprit,” Carlson suggested.
Donalc. Conrad, associate
secretary for professional
ethics, NEA stated that legis
lation will not move unitl it
realizes the coercive factors
of teachers. Conrad empha
sized that he Is NOT in favor
of strikes. “Statelegislators,”
he said, “are beginning to write
law's that will give teachers
power”. If two parties can
not agree in their professional
negotiations, a mandatory me
diator is suggesteu by a third
party.
Daniel Byrd, representative,
NAACP Legal Defense and Ed
ucational Fund, spoke at the
Saturday, August 13, NCTA
Day session of the Conference.
Byrd declared that the “Negro
is still a slave to tradition.
Negroes have helped to per
petuate the myth that the Negro
teacher is inferior. He told
school principals that “you can
no longer stand over the teacher
with a big stick. In the days
ahead, you will need the class
room teachers' cooperation
more.”

NEW YORK - The Office of
Economic Opportunity has made
a $601,000 grant to Mobiliza
tion for Youth to augment the
agency’s “Neighborhood Serv
ice Center” program, it was
announced this week by the
Washington office of Senator
Robert F. Kennedy (D, NY).
The grant will greatly ex
pand MFY’s pioneering service
program, making possible the
opening of a new neighborhood
service center in the south
west quadrant of New York’s
Lower East Side. In addi
tion, the new funds will greatly
widen services in the existing
centers introducing several new
services such as an After School
Study Center, an Escort Service
and Child Drop-In Centers. In
addition, the new money will
be invested in Group Counseling
and Group Education especially
with respect to child rearing
practices.
The MFY service center pro
gram, which until now has been
funded by the U. S. Department
of Health, Education and Wel
fare through its National In
stitute of Mental Health and the
City of New York, has been
credited with almost completely
revising the role of the social
worker in working with the
poor. The program, which has
serviced some 25,000 people
since its inception in 1962, has
consciously focused on the r e
storation of dignity and a feel
ing of self-involvement of the
poor in the solutions of their
ferred to as the “Cold War
GI Bill”—provides tile same
wide range of special help to
the new veteran as did the first
GI Bill and later the Korean
GI Bill.
In addition to educational
and other provisions, the law
extends the job counseling and
placement benefits to the pub
lic Employment Service to
those who served on active
duty in the Armed Forces after
January 31, 1955.
The veteran who needs help
in getting his old job back,
finding a new job, or in ob
taining free training should go
to the nearest public employ
ment service office. There,
he will find job experts ready
to serve him free.
One of the 1,900 full-time
local offices of the Fedeial-
State employment service
system can be located under
“State employment service”
in the local directory, by
asking the local postmaster,
or by writing to the employ
ment service office in the
State capital.
Copies of the pamphlet “The
Right Job” are available from
the local public employment
service office.
social and economic problems.
To the classic role of the
social worker as a counselor
has been added the function of
the social worker as an ad
vocate, aggressively advocating
the interests of the poor in the.
forums of government., The,.
MFY program has also spawned
a number of Welfare Clients
Groups In which welfare reci
pients, acting in concert, have
successfully sought redress of
their grievances at the N. Y.

Green Thumb Tips
Having trouble getting bright
red tomatoes'? Maybe it’s just
been too hot where you live. When
tomatoes, especially those grow
ing in full sun, are exposed to
temperatures over 86 degrees only
the yellow pigment in the toma
toes develops, not the red. Thus
the true bright red fruit is im
possible to secure. Orange-red is
the best you'll get. When tem
peratures drop below 86 degrees
the red pigment will once more
develop.
This tip comes from Colorado
State University.
