THE CAtiOUNIAN RALEIGH, N. C., SATURDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1966 2 turn toward republicanism. But the as tute Old South would never admit its anti-Negro purposes, so it goes all out for conservatism. The attempt to rally the conservatives is no more than an at tempt to return to power those who would perpetuate the status quo with the Negro as second-class citizen. The Anti-Negro South’s plea and concern for political conservatism is hinged a bout the old, old effort to keep the Negro down, although the South’s pride for bids its open fight on the defenseless Ne gro. Nevertheless, it is not ashamed to conceal its anti-Negroism under the cloak of conservatism. The South is at tempting to rally the conservative ele ments of the South and nation to defeat the Negro’s further efforts at desegre gation and integration. The Old South is mustering up a strong support even of those who do not suspect its ultimate design. Ultra-conservatism is anti-Ne groism I Jus* - as the Southern brand of con servatism is directed against the Negro’s advance, so is the States Rights appeal. SEEKS BIL’N (Continued from pa*p i) It nation’s upper and middle classes already have received a “much more gigantic subsi dy” over the years in the form of housing programs and pub lic financing of “the roads that were crucial for the flight to suburbia.” Randolph referred to the car in Viet Nam in replying to the argument that the “freedom budget” proposes “profligate” outlays in view of the costs of the fighting. The question, he said, is one of priorities and involves “who v.ill pay tor the war.” “Gentlemen, I say no matter what you think of the war, whether you favor or oppose the administration’s policies, if the war goes on, and if this country makes the black and white poor pay for it, this will have the most disastrous consequences on our democratic way of life, ” he said.

But States Rights in the face of rabid race prejudice can be a hellish thing, as events of the past have proved so con clusively! The great opposition to Fed eral interference in state affairs stems from the overmastering passion to wrest from the Federal Government any and all powers of interference with the South's prerogatives in handling its in terracial affairs. Such prerogatives for the South are dangerous, for the South and its Negro citizens and for national security. One of the ugliest scars on the fair face of our beloved nation has been made by the South’s anti-Negro ele ments, the Pharaohs who are resolved not to let the Negro go! Watch the States Rights Movement and the drive for political conservatism: both are in direct drives against the hapless Ne groes! By implication, the election was anti-Negro. CON TECHNIQUE (Continued from j1) said to have asked her if she had any more money and she replied, “Yes, In the bank.” She is said to have directed him up Wilmington St. and he Is alleged to have- stopped on, or near, the corner.

TORCH KILLER (Continued from page 1) found gasoline In a can which was offered in evidence as the remaining portion that Brown bought to make a * ‘human torch” out of the woman. The State also placed a nurs • on the stand who said that the Currie woman told her that Brown “did it.” Former depu ty sheriff, Blease Garner, also testified that the woman told him at the hospital that Brown had accused her of “running around.” There was evidence produc ed in Brown’s behalf that tend ed to show that Brown was out with one Dora Strickland as late as 10 p. m. on the night that the Currie woman was fatally burned. Grady Matthews was brought from the State Prison, where he is now serving time for breaking and entering and testified that the Currie woman visited his house, with one Hur ley Luuerlow on March 14 and 15 in 1946. Luttlelow testi fied that he took the woman home about 11:30 or 12, on the night that she was burned. Brown 'attempted to explain the reason for having the gas, by saying, “it was for a strand ed motorist. Patronize Carolinian Advertisers ABC STORE (Continued from page 1) coming thru Stronach Alley. 1 immediately realized they were the two men I saw holding up the whiskey store. I moved to the back of my truck and watch ed the two men crouch down. When Williford realized I saw him, he said, ‘Here is a s-o-b got some money and I ought to hill him’. He pointed the shot gun at me and I said ‘White folks, I don’t have any money.” Williford told Squires, ‘He ain’t got nothing and ain’t worth kill ing,’ it was then that I folded my hands over my stomach where I would not have much to do to get my hand on the pis tol.” Squires walked west through the alley and Hunter says he kept an eye on Williford and pulled the gun and shot at Squires. This shot went over Squires’ head. “I could have torn him to pieces, but I was to nervous to take aim” said Hunter. Williford is said to have retreated thru Stronach Alley and Hunter took dead aim at him, just As he darted into Blount St. This is believed to have been one of the bullets that cracked Williford’s knee. Hunter, with Squires depart ing up the alley and feeling that he had hit Williford, gave chase of Williford. The two, with Williford leading, went down Blount St. and turned In to Lenoir. Hunter says that he then had a chance to take another aim and this he did. Williford was beginning to weaken and made ii to Fay etteville St., where a bus was taking on passengers. Hunter alleges that Williford pushed a Negro woman passenger aside and rushed into the bus. Hunt er, hot In pursuit, pistol in hand, attempted to get on the bus, but was prevented by the bus driver. By the time Hunter got back to the store, it was filled with detectives and police. Hunter is alleged to have told them that Williford got on a bus head ed up Fayetteville St. One of the officers overtook the bus and found Williford bleeding pro fusely. He took him off and carried him to the hospital. Tilings began to move into place from then on. A key, taken from Williford’s pocket, revealed that it was to a room in the Andrew Johnson Hotel. Police, uith a description of Squires, slaked themselves in the hotel and it was not long before Squires walked in. Squires formerly lived at 506 Cutler St., but recently moved into room 318 in the Andrew Johnson Hotel. Williford comes from Fuquay Springs and atone time lived at 307 Kinsey St. He was listed as living in room 302 in the Andrew John,son Ho tel. It is believed that Squires is Boyd Baxter Squires, who . e cently was paroled from the State Prison and has since worked for Peden Steel Com pany. The robbery took Thomas R. Freeman, Jr. and James W. Edwards, the two men working in the store at the time, by surprise. Freeman told the CAROLINIAN that the two men walked in the store, amidst the normal Tuesday evening bus iness. There was no other customer in the store. They or dered a pint of Vodka, when he, Freeman, turned to get the Vod ka, Williford told him it was a “stick-up” and Freeman turned around and found him self looking down the barrells of a sawed-off shot gun. One man, which turned out to be Squires, lifted the gate of the counter and told Free man to open the cash register. Freeman complied, with no hesitancy. Squires is alleged to have scooped up the paper mon ey in that register and then pro ceeded to walk over to the oth er one, manned by James W. Edwards. The same procee dure was followed. With the money in Squires possession it was suggested that the two be taken in the back room and bound but the idea was abandon ed when Robert Wood walked in and ordered some whiskey, un conscious of the hold-up. The robbers are said to have told Wood, “Give us what you got too.” Wood readily responded and left the store wlvhout the whiskey or the money. William Cooper, manager of the ABC Store, was in the back and found it convenient to re main there, during the robbery. He says he knew something was going on wrong when he heard the rumbling. Williford is confined to a lo cal hospital, under guard, while Squires is being detained in the Wake County Jail, facing a $5,000 bond, on the robbery charge, and violation of his pa role. The Detective Department, irom Captain Goodwin down to the officer who found the gun, used in the hold-up, early Wed nesday morning, in the backyard of 508 S. Blount St., was loud in his praise for Hunter. One detective told The CAROLINI AN, when asked if Hunter v. ould be charged with carrying a gun replied, “No, we should give him a medal.” Since the Easter Seal Re search Foundation was formed in 1954, it has invested more than $2 million in seeking caus es and prevention of physical disabilities.
