The State cff North Cardtim Is taking the life a£ as Innocent toy.” All my love, DEATH FOE WBOSS: A MISSOURI M ESSAGE Thomas F. EagSrton, Attorney General of Htssoari, has receaSy iovertigated the circumstances surrounding the to flictioa of the dealt, penalty, more particularly the financial, racM and gottai state of the condemned. His conclusions will fee of interest: * Jf lt has been fraQMaHgr stated that coital puni<*ment is tnftUirf main]- on the poor— those unable to hire steflled counsel. to represent them . Warden Deris E. Dawes in Ms hook "Tveßty Thousand Years in Sing Sing” stated: *ln the 12 years of my warrieoship I have escorted 130 men and one woman to the death chamber and fie electric chair. In ages they ranged from 17 to SS. They came from ail kinds of homes and environments. In only one respect were they all aHse. All as them were pom am most of them were friendless,.... Thus, it is seldom that it happens that a person who is able to have eminent defence attorneys is convicted of murder in firs degree. It is very* rare indeed that such a person is executed. A large number of those who are executed were too poor to hire a lawyer, counsel feeing appointed fey the state.' The records <A executions in Missouri fully hear out this statement. We have had 32 executions of state prisoners to Jefferson City since 1837. Local court records on some of these cases are somewhat incomplete. However, it can be staied that only one out of the 32 executed in Missouri was able to pay for Ms appeal. The rest had to appeal as poor persons. “There can be no question oi the inequality of capital punishment Such things as race, locality, and the mood of the community are ever-present determining factors. “The Southern states have accounted for over two-thirds of all the executions in this country since 1930. During this period Florida executed 35 Negroes for rape and only erne white man. Georgia executed 58 Negroes 2nd only three white men. Oi 442 executed in the country for rape, 387 were Negroes. The State of Georgia has inflicted the death penalty on more people than any other state in the union. "The National Prisoner Statistics bulletin or. executions cannot be read without a realization that the exaction oi this, the ultimate penalty, is a glaring example of unequal justice."

Sc when Dr. King goes overboard for surrender he would give comfort to our enemies and give toe cfls'resn to our friends.

He had utter content for malfesance in office. He then went Into the poverty program and *aki that he would vote against any proposal, by President Johnson, to increase the funds for the program, until he was convinced that the money was reaching those for whom it was designed. He gave a rela tive ratio of 70% for adminis tration and 30% for the needy . He also said the government, had grown too big and that the states needed to get a better hold on their affairs. It was then that the CAROLINIAN pos ed another question. He was asked that if the control of aid to education, poverty or any oth er welfare agency should be set up by' stales would he recom mend the same guide lines us ed fey the federal government to guard against discrimina tion.

At the Page- Auditorium Car michael began by excoriating the news media. He said that his topic was Intellectual and that he did not think that the press would be able to deal with it, illustrating that the black power concept had been articulated, and had gone through an analysis and inter pretation by the Whites for toe Negro. But added, “Black peo ple are goiag to define them selves. They are going to use the terms they want. White people will have to accept it. From tosie Carmichael mov ed into the theoretical concept of black power. “Black pow er,” he said ‘‘is defined by two forces; our blackness and our poweriessness.” He ex emplified individual acts of ra cism, and defined tostinitioaal ized racism, as those “poli tical, economical and social forces at work cretside the Ne gro community,** “Black power Is fighting white supremacy and preserv ing our racial and cultural heri tage, not abolishing it. It is to instil! dignity, I am black first, and ! will not deny it. I am proud of It.” This as pect of black power embraces an “independent political or ganization, and organized poli tical strength within the Ne gro Community, using self de termination, apposed to white people governing us.” Carmichael also spoke of coalition between the poor whites and the Negro. He said ■'‘Poor whites see them selves as white first and poor sec ond.” There had beer, coali tion attempts but the poor whites were hostile because others came to the aid of the Negro. When questioned by a student if the whites had any role in his Black power society, Car michael replied, It would be upon mutual conditions, such as friendship, not advisory, the Negro don’t need white help, “Tto- Great White Father’s point to Salvation.” Being asked to comment on Dr. Mart to L King's contribu tion to the Negro movement, Carmichael said, “I will not ever attack a black man pub licly.” He defined Harlem TEACHERS (C®svtinned tram Was* i) dent, Central State University, Wilberforee, Ohio, spoke to the First General Assembly, ot: Thursday night. “Bridging the Gap between Neeri :ind Oppor tunity” was his subject.
