WOULD-BE ASSASSINS JAILED Principal Arrested For Plan NEW YORK - Officers who arrested the leaders of a gang, rumored to have plotted to take the life of Roy W ilkins and Whit ney Young, say that one of the men arrested is Herman B, Ferguson, 46, an assistant prin cipal of a city school, who lives with his wife and four chil dren, in a modest home, in Rochdale Village, Queens. School officials were at a loss to determine how such a “quiet” and “very personal” man could become obsessed i&th such hate as want to take ax life for any cause and cer tainly not the life of anyone who Is espousing the cause of free dom. Wednesday morning Fergu son\as in his two-story, brick and-shingle home when police arrested him on charges of conspiracy to commit homtclde in what police said Was a plot to assassinate moderate civil rights leaders. Police also seized 10 rifles, three car bines, a shotgun, four knives and three arrows in the house.

Labor Department which show a very low over all unemployment rate Slbes not give the true picture <k the Negroes rating. The high rate of Negro unem ployment which is one of the basic causes of racial unrest, seems to be rising even more 61 the very time riots are break ing out in America’s Irfrge ci ties. This fact tends to give more meaning to the familiar cry of Negro spokesman after a riot, a demand of “we want jobs,” a demand that many comfortable Americans tend to ignore as mere noise. One of the factors that hides the Negro job problem is a well known statistic that shows the unemployment rate for the U nlfed States at the very low figure of 3.8 per cent, a figure the New Economists are proud of. A breakdown of the percent ages, however, produces some revealing contrasts. The unemployment rate for all adult men, for instance, is Sen more impressive only 2.4 l r cent. What, then, pushes Up the rate to 3.8? The number of teen-age Job less - and this can figure In the rioting - supplies some of the answer. In May, when many began looking for •aid not finding summer jobs, the rate rose to 13.1 per cent from 11.6 per cent a month ear lier. Now break down the figures fey race and some meaningful percentages reveal them selves: 3.3 per cent unemployment for whites in May, the same per centage as In April; for non white, 7,8 per cent, a jump of one-half of one per cent in one month. c§s» s*. t j PpJteii itepttwfcffft Jbisiiif Its ?

Identity Made By Police The strength of scent from perfume is always inviting and welcomed, but when odor of a dead body becomes sc obnox ious that It disturbs the com munity, It is time to do some thing about it.

Last year, President Johnson sent a bill to congress that would have heavily implement ed the laws now on the books, but it died aborning, in the Sen ate. He has proposed another for this term, and it too seems doomed. Senator Mansfield, tip on whom the chief executive relies heavily upon, sees little hope for this year’s bill. He mentioned “marches shootings, and inflammatory speeches” and said "‘there is no place for mob mentality susdl its deliberate stimulation.” Al ready this year there have feces riots, shootings and inflamma tory speeches before Caegress got dawn to work on Johnson** 1967 program.

WEEKLY LEGISLATIVE REPORT NOTE: This is the nine teenth of a series of weekly' summaries prepared by the legislative staff of the Insti tute of Government on the work of the North Carolina General Assembly of 1967. It is confin ed to discussions of matters of general interest and major im portance. * * * On Wednesday of this week the total number of bills and resolutions Introduced in the 1967 General Assembly passed the record fob modern times of 2101 bills introduced in a single session, set to 1963. By today the total had swelled to an opulent 2138, a count sure to grow before final adjourn ment. If the ’67 Assembly is still in business next Friday -- which is a foregone conclusion --it will also have eclipsed by one day the modern legislative long evity mark of 141 days, first reached in 1955 and tied in 1963. At this writing,’the date of sine die adjournment remains unset tled. Plans now are for a re port of tiie general appropria tions bill on Monday. Other ma jor bills, Including the Congres sional Redistricting and Re gional Universities proposals are calendared for floor action in the House early next week. While a conclusion of legislative business by the end of next week remains conceivable, it seems more likely that last minute loose ends, including the me fs*** vmsmjonvm. f>. m Powell Worrying Lenders SDIOa, Bahamas Inland - Clayton Powell, self-exiled New York Representative, broke Ms silence here Tuesday and lash ed out against his eatress loc al accusers, hut failed to ans wer a question posed by some Harlem voters, last week, and shared in, by some Bahaina iaris, "Why doesn’t he go home?” Adam Clayton Powell said Tuesday he would accept cen sure by the House-bat only to tee same manner as Sen Thomas Dodd, D-Coan.
