RACE LEADERS SPLIT ON ALL-NEGRO PARTIES One Deplores Them, Other Boosts Them ATLANTA (NPI) - At the same time one tap NAACP official blasted the idea of all-Negro parties, a black part} headed by another NAA CP leader was preparing lor its first major battle. As Alfred B, Lewis, national NAACP treasurer, described the establishment of all-Negro political parties as “dangerous,*’ Cecil Moore, Philadelphia NAACP president, sought petitions in preparation for a black party mayoral campaign. Moore, a fiery militant, was leading a new party called “Political Freedom Rights"' into battle. The Philadelphia chief, who also heads the new party, said he has 7,000 signatures of 8,580 needed for hie petition for the mayoralty race. He will run next fall as an independent - and wiii file 25,000 petitions. Also running on the Slate are Mrs. Novella Williams and Atty. Harold Randolph, for city council; and Erie Ward and 3. Arnos Harris, for city commissioners. Meanwhile, Levis said civil rights groups tryirtgto establish all-Negro political panties cannot hope to make progress on a state or national level. The establish men* of all-Negro political parties and complete exclusion oi whites “is dangerous because it will lead to all white political parties,’ Lewis said. His goal, he said, “Is to integrate Negroes into all aspects of the existing political parties.*’ The call for political separatism 'by “black power" advo cates is dangerous because it will lead to and justify exclu sion of Negroe; from the nation’s major political parties, he added.

The Congress of the United States has refused to give the citizen of Washington home rule for fear of Negroes controlling the policies. N. C. followed its pattern Tuesday when a House Judiciary Committee killed a bill to outlaw capital punishment. “The North Carolina Legislature refuses to {ass a bill outlawing capital punishment because of their fear of the “Southern” Negro." This statement was made by Republi can Pep. Edward M' Knight, a Forsyth County businessman in a telephone interview with “The CAROLINIAN." “Not only is the legislature afraid to pass a bill outlawing capital punishment because of the Negro, it also fears other minority groups.” In a bill introduced b\ Mc- Knigtit, the death penalty, ex cept for murder of a lav en forcement officer 01 a kidnap victim, v/ituiti have been elirni fly./ PONDERING SPEECH - S«i ator Edward V,.

He reported to the chief executive, his findings, and re ceived a warm acceptance. President Johnson praised hint for his service to his coun try.
