NEIDYPROGRAM OVER WAR V ietnam Placed In The Rear By Solong m ANDREW REESE. JR. CLARKSDALE. Miss. - A Senate subcommittee. carrving volumes of testimony and mem - ories of hungry children, re turned to Washington today af ter a loiik at poverty condi tion:- among Negroes in the Mis sissippi Delta, “We need a reawakening of the social conscience of Ameri ca,*' said Sen. Joseph S. Clark, D-Pa.. chairman 01 the subcom mittee on employment, man power and poverty. Both Clark and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, D-K V., spent a long day driving through the low-lying cotton country with stops a* several ramshackle Negro homes and anti-poverty centers, interviewing dozens of Negro families The tour, which enueci here late Tuesday, came after a hearing in Jackson at which witnesses told of widespread hunger and unemployment a mong farm workers displaced by mechanization and reduced cotton acreage. At one wood - frame shack, Kennedy asked a 50-year-old Negro woman how she was able to survive. ,r We gets by-t hat's about It,” she said. “You can't call it living but we gets by." Clark said the visit to Mis sissippi was the first in a se ries of trips to 10 states during the coming two months to eval uate the effectiveness of Presi dent Johnson’s war on poverty. The subcommittee wa6 ex pected to seek immediate relief for the Delta area. Clark saida final report would not be issued until after the series of hear ings is completed. Clark and Kennedy stressed that condition found in Missis sippi were “not unique," saying similar situation:- prevailed o ver much of the nation. Both said it was apparent moiTr* money was needed, but money was not the only an swer. “These are barbarous, savage conditions," said Clark. “We have to get our minds off Vietnam so: a few moments and give our attention to this." Kennedy said the- stark con ditions were a “terrible reflec tion on our society," but re peatedly emphasized that pov erty was a nationwide problem.

C Bar Object Os Criticism WINSTON -SALEM - The matter ctf giving Negroes full membership rights in the N. C. Bar Association got a new airing here Friday, at Wake Forest College, when the Wake Forest College Student Sir Association chided the organi zation about its biased stand. The student, group approved a resolution which took the state association to task. The unanimously adopted resolu tion said, "deplores any de nial of membership in the as sociation based on the race of the applicant." It is to be remembered that the Duke University Law School withdrew from the state association in December, whet: one of the graduates, Erie Michaux, of Durham, was dented admittance. Tin? lav. school, at the University of North Carolina, did not gD a s far as the Bute group, but did say that Negroes should be admitted and that it would at tempt to get Negroes in with out breaking with the state as sociation. The North Carolina Bar As sociation has had a hard and fast rule that has been in ef fect throughout its existence. It is to be remembered that perhaps about thirty five years ago, the association met In Durham, and was tendered a banquet by the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Com pany and even the president of the company could nor attend.

The accused man is said to have run across Martin St., in to Nash Square, where he dis appeared, not for long, how ever. Police Lieutenant H. W.
