THE CAROLINIAN RALEIGH. N. C . SATURDAY. DECEMBER 17, 1966 2 in T ’xas went on elsewhere in the South. The assassin who laid young Kennedy the benefactor of the Old Negro-hating South wanted done above all else! Ken nedy’s assassination was in many ways ' the benefactor of the Old Negro hating South. And this does not mean any of the South except the Old Anti-Negro South; for'there are millions of the fin est people in the white South who are as humiliated by the acts of the Old Negro hating South as the Negroes are per plexed and endangered by these acts, albeit these acts are too often veiled and take the form of flank attacks, not by openly attacking Negroes, but attacking those who show signs of wanting to see .the Negro rise in the scale of American life! When Kennedy was laid low, then came great Lyndon B. Johnson to the presidency than whom this country has produced no greater President. A South erner himself and a humanitarian and benefactor, and worthy successor to the lamented Kennedy, Because Roosevelt and Kennedy before him had laid such secure foundations, Johnson has been able to accomplish things that neither LANE HELD (Continued from par* 1) liams, when the door was open ed and headed straight to the kitchen where Lane and his party were. Lane said further that before lie could hardly speak Thorpe hit him in the eye, with some thing that he never was able to determine. The blow is said to have knocked Lane to the floor and Thorpe jumped on him and began pummeling him in the side. Lane alleges that he was partly stunned and in view of the fact that he was 63 years old and Thorpe only 23, he was afraid that Thorpe would beat him to death. Lane alleges that he finally mustered enough strength to push Thorpe off of him and that he got up off the floor and went into another room. Thorpe is said to have followed Lane, but Lane placed himself against the door and took the gun out of the closet and opened the door to find Thorpe had gone into the street. When Lane reached the front door, he did not stop to open the screen door, but began fir ing at Thorpe who had reach ed the middle of the street, or thereabout. Lane was not sure how many shots he fired, but believe that he hit him three times. Mrs. Ham says that four of the bullets struck her in the back part of both of her legs. She was taken to the hospital and is not too sure that all ot the bullets were extracted. She al leges that she did not cross the street after seeing Lane with the gun. Upon finding out that she had been shot and Thorpe had been too, they both took refuge by kneeling behind her car. She lives directly across the street from Lane’s house. PEACE KEYNOTE (Continued from page X) in Memphis, Nov. 8-18. Some of the most outstanding men in the church came to Philadelphia to support Bishop Jones. Among them were Bi shop R. E, Ranger, Bishop of Texas, Bishop McClellan of Buffalo, and Bishop Mason of Chicago. Ministers came from Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Ohio, New Jer sey, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. At one point during the exciting meeting, twenty-nine ministers from the state of New York held a spe cial meeting to show their sup port for Bishop Jones. On Tuesday evening, 1800 people crowded into Holy Tem ple at 60th & Callowhill Sts., spilling out onto the street and Sunday School room downstairs. Bishop Jones, who chaired the conference and a staunch sup porter of Bishop Jones, elec trified the crowd and visiting dignitaries by showing that Bi shop Jones was supposedly ousted by the executive com mittee which has no constitu tional legality within the church. Thursday morning Bishop Ranger along with Rev. O. T. Jones, Jr., son of the Bishop, and Rev. Sam P. Nesbitt, ex ecutive secretary to the Bishop, flew to Memphis to confer with Bishop Jones’ legal counsel in that city. Rev. Nesbitt who is the son of the Bishop of Flori da and who holds degrees in theology and law, held a press conference Wednesday after noon at which time he compar ed the alleged ousting of Bi shop Jones to the two women and one infant before the throne of Solomon. A second highlight of the meeting was the announcement by Rev. O. T, Jones, Jr., pres ident of the Youth Congress of the Church, that the next meet ing would be held in Philadel phia in May, regardless of the position taken by the opposi tion. ALA. ATTORNEY (Continues from page 1) those laws. The militant lawyer, who tried to defeat Laurlean Wal lace, in the hope that Alabama could wrest itself from the throes of George Wallace, felt that his tenure had been tem porarily ended, but he felt that his pleas would not forever go unheaded. EDITORIAL (Continued from page 1) Roosevelt nor Kennedy could have ac complished. Today, our President is the object of the Old Negro-hating South’s venom and hatred and unbounded ani mosities. He, too, is hated with a hatred that knows no bounds. Why? Because he wants to set the Negro free in away that Lincoln did not because he could not! The great fight on Johnson’s pro posed Great Society hinges about the fact that in that Great Society the Negro is to have his rightful place- The fight on Johnson’s Viet Nam policies is stem ming from the fight on the man for his liberal attitudes towards Negroes. The fight on the Warren Commission Report is also tied in with a bitter fight on Chief Justice Warren because of the 1954 de cision! Nothing will be spared to dis credit the man! Another flank attack on the Negro by attacking anybody or any measure that favors Negroes instead of attacking Negroes onenly would be a shameful thing! THE FLANK AT TACK IS POWERFUL. Watch it, Ne gro leaders! Silent Negro Leadership, take serious notice! INTERRACIAL (Continued from page 1) on the scene and seemingly did not like what he saw. Wright is alleged to have equipped him self with an electric cord and starting using it to the dis content of both the Ray woman and Gervin. Gervin reported that he suf fered deep abrasions on his back, chest and arms. From Gervin’s report Wright “frail ed a while. The Ray woman is said to have received la cerations on her hands. Gervin lost no time in mak ing it to the police and told them lie wanted Wright arrest ed for engaging in an affray where a deadly weapon was used --to-wit an electric cord, not for carrying electric current, but for damage to his body. RALEIGHITE (Continued from pa*@ I) the Third Army Area on ma neuvers. On these jaunts she was a great inspiration to the soldiers as she worked out and supervised recreation pro grams. She has also received high praise in career planning. She served as a discussion leader at a job opportunities clinic, held at North Carolina College. It is believed that the ex perience that she had while working as a play-ground su pervisor in Raleigh before com ing here, equipped her with the “know how” it takes to make recreation go. She has gained fame as an outstanding dance teacher. Miss Smith has also taught physical education and physiology. She was a member of the Ft. Bragg civilian per sonnel section’s planning com mittee that set up “Prepara tion for Retirement” courses to be offered in the near future. She did her undergraduate work at Hampton Institute and received a Master of Arts de gree, in physical education and recreation, from Columbia Uni versity. Miss Smith lives in Raleigh and when she has some time off she spends it with her sister, Mrs. M. L. Watts. She loves to fish and goes to Topsail Is land, where she has a cottage, and lures in a bountiful catch. N. C.

Smith High School, working his way through Hamp ton Institute, teaching at Anne Chestnut High School and serv ing a stint in the Navy. He got his first taste of pro testation when he organized a group of Negro Seabees, serv ing in World War I, and pro tested the Navy’s segregation pattern, as it applied to Ne groes. When he outlined his line of attack on what was then the Navy’s unfair practice, he was headed for a “dishonor able discharge.” He solicited the aid of the late mayor Fi orello H. LaGuardia and Thur good Marshall. With their aid and his presistence he won and was given an “honorable dis charge.” Upon leaving the Navy he re turned to Hampton and complet ed his undergraduate work and found his way to St. John’s University Law School, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude.

There has been quite a stir since Negroes began moving into the section. Cross es have been burned and the windows of Negro homes were shot out by shotgun blasts. Harnett County’s Headstart Program will not operate next summer due to the fact that there was much, dissatisfaction over the federal government’s poli cy of operation and unaccept able guide lines. The plan is said to have worked success fully for two years and was believed to have been a great benefit to the county, but county officials are said to have re fused the $90,000 appropriated to finance the 1967 project. The Harnett County Board of Educa tion voted unanimously to reject the money and to stop the pro gram. The fact that the govern ment Insisted that persons who were to be recipients should have representation on the poli cy-making level was unaccept able. There has been much unrest in the northern part of Wake County and threats have been made to families of white per sons who have worked with Ne groes in the government’s pro gram. The trouble was in and around Zebulon and Wendell. TEACHER (Continued from Me 1) McNair accounts for this by saying that he was shot when he stopped around the corner, after calling for addi tional police aid, in making the arrest. The officer is further credited with saying that he went around the corner to as certain whether there was a light in McCaskill’s room. The shooting developed into a gun battle with McNair losing. He said he was hot in the low er part of his stomach first and then he fired three shots from his gun, in the direction of McCaskill’s room.

Ralph D. Abernathy and Andrew Young. FIGHT TB WITH* (fteliiilwtej) Black Power May Weld Negroes In Ghetfoes Against Whites PARK RIDGE, HI. - There i* a danger that “the black mass es will reject integration as unattainable, or as meaning less, and will move toward the conscious development of a ghetto society physically and ideologically distinct from the rest of America.” So says a Negro educator who writes that “black power” - a philosophy as well as a slo gan - signals the end of black white coalition. While the “civil rights move ment probably has run its course,” Dr. C. Eric Lincoln states in the January issue of TOGETHER magazine that the Negro “protests movement will continue.” Adoption of the term “black people,” he explains, was cho sen to emphasize that “the Ne gro has finally come to accept his physical difference” without apology and he now conceives “black” as the antithesis of “white,” and consequently op poses any further Ideological 1- dentif ication with the white man. Pointing out that they apply the word “Negro” as a kind of epithet for their own middle class, Dr. Lincoln writes that the black masses prefer the de signation “black people.” Dr. Lincoln, professor of so ciology at Portland State Col lege, Oregon, cites that “the black masses are just as poor, just as hungry, and just as de prived as before” the civil rights movement began. There fore, he goes on, in their re sentment “they look to black power for their redemption.” “Black power will come in evitably to mean solidarity in the ghetto where black is versus white,” he writes in TOGETH ER, Methodist general-interest magazine for families that goes into three-quarters of a mil lion homes monthly. Dr. Lincoln holds earned de grees from LeMoyne College, Fisk University, the Universi ty of Chicago and Boston Uni versity. He has taught or lec tured extensively at Fisk, Clark College, Boston University, Dartmouth, Spellman College, Brown University and San Fran cisco Theological Seminary, in addition to his present teaching at Portland State College. He is an ordained Methodist minis ter. During changes experienced over generations, he explains in the article Black Pow’er, the Negro “learned that the white man was neither morally invulnerable nor above passfon, and that the performance re quirements which the white man set for the Negro were not al ways met by the white man him self.” He lists Auschwitz, Buehenwald, and Hiroshima as examples of “man’s inhumanity to man.” Consequently, Dr. Lincoln continues, the Negro “could see no reason why his color should render him an automatic and perpetual target.” “Black power,” he adds, “is the attempt to establish a move ment among the black masses which will give them a more di rect voice in determining their own affairs. “Its emphasis is not on inte gration,” he stresses, “and although its leadership is pre sently middle class, its chief appeal is to the poor and dis possessed who live in the black ghettos of America.” “Black power,” Dr. Lincoln writes in TOGETHER maga zine, means different things to different people “because there is no American concen sus about the Negro American and his place in the American society.” As a movement, he says, it “can only mean ‘decision-mak ing opportunities for black peo ple,’ ” for black Americans “need power.” The power sought, he adds, “is political MISS DEB . . . answers questions \ about Junior Miss fa • Nil a etiquette, grooming Wyjjj and interests. Q. Christmas parties where everybody exchanges grab bag presents are such fun, but I can’t seem to come up with gift ideas. Can yo"u help? A. A little exploring and you’ll find that stores are full of all good things that make great grab bag presents or stocking stuffers. Inexpensive items like hair pins, tiny pencil sharpeners, hand mirrors, Klee nex purse pack tissues, candy, paperback books or pads are all welcome gifts even for people you’ve never met. Q. I’ve heard that you’re not supposed to wear white in winter. But I have all kinds of white blouses and a white sweater. I just saw a new white wool dress I’d love to buy. Is it all right to wear white now? A. Absolutely! Seasonal colors went out the window several seasons back. Go right ahead and wear your whites all year round. And just for fun. you might want to add a pair and economic, not military.” And he sees It as “an indict ment of white power, which Is viewed as being self-interest ed to the practical exclusion of substantive interests of Ne groes.” This issue has “split the pro test movement for Negro rights into two camps,” Dr. Lincoln points out. Three of the “big five” civil rights organizations have been unable to endorse the “black power” leadership policies. Thus thd National Association for the Advancement of Color ed People, the National Urban League and the Southern Christ ian Leadership Conference stand against the Congress of Racial Equality and the Student Nonviolent Co-ordinating Com mittee. The three dissenters “felt the new policies were an affront to the thousands of white Americans who had involved themselves personally in the ci vil rights struggle, or who had given financial support to it.” “For more than 50 years, interracial co-operation has been the operational norm” of NAACP and the Urban League, Dr. Lincoln writes. Holding Grads All Passed Exams Mr. Bob Brown, Director of Student personnel at the W. W. Holding Technical Institute, an nounced that the National Lea gue of Nursing notified him that all of the graduatesof the Prac tical Nurse Education program from the Institute passed their certification examination. Bas ed on this examination, these students will be licensed as practical nurses and eligible for employment as such within the state of North Carolina. Additionally, Mr. Brown stat ed that this was the fourth straight year in which graduates of the program, conducted by the W, W.

Mom’s giving a party for my little cousins and I’m in charge of the entertainment. Got any fun ideas for the young set? A. Be an artist! Flatter the guests with shadow portraits of each one. Set up your "studio" in a darkened hallway or bed room, with a chair near the wall and a flashlight or high intensity lamp directed toward it, For each portrait, press a large piece of Marvalon ad hesive covering against the wall behind the chair. Seat the “models,” one at a time, and outline the shadow of each pro file as it appears on the Mar salon. Then, peel the covering ofT the wall, press it to a piece of cardboard, and cut out the profile. If you like, glue the portrait to a contrasting sheet of paper and "frame" it with Marvalon. You’ll probably have as much fun as the models! There is bewilderment as well as frustration among Ne groes, he reports. •'Some of the most Important Negro leadership,’* he says, "has been siphoned off by the federal government, and rend ered ineffective by the crea tion of a petty bureaucracy ostensibly charged with the stewardship of the Interests of the poor and voiceless." After making it clear that "there is nothing inherently wrong about wanting power,” Dr. Lincoln sees "black pow er" as the "anguished cry of a people trying desperately to be taken seriously.” And since the white man would not grant the Negro an identity consistent with his expectations, "he has had to create his own identity consistent with his needs." "Is America listening?” Dr. Lincoln wonders. r~ —. i LINCOLN RALEIGH, N. C. STARTS SUNDAY. DEO.

The electric energy it can produce in a year is equal to the amount used annually in 385,000 Carolina homes. Its bigness helps make this generating unit more efficient. The dollar investment for a kilowatt of capacity is lower than for smaller units. It requires fewer man-hours to produce a given amount of electricity.
