DURHAM FEARS DOT SUMMER’
Off Council Warned Os Danger ~
DURHAM - There were mam local citizens, of both races, who felt that Durham could not
ignite over racial imbalance, like other sections of the country. They found out different Tuesday
night when 150 persons, led by Ben Ruffin, former Operation Breakthrough employee, went to the
City Council and told them that Durham could become a Watts, a Roxbury, a Chicago, a Cincinnati,
a Newark or even a Vietnam, over night.
Ruffin, now employed by United Organization for Community Improvement, led a parade of
speakers, who minced no words in saying that the housing situation was acute and that if some
thing was not done it would explode.
Ruffin had the moral support of Miss Ann Atwater, who also works for UOCi and "black pow
er” advocate Howard Fuller, along with others who have sensed the situation for a long time.

the milk of human kindness.” This is a scene taken on the second night of rioting in Newark.

Interview her. a life is worth far more than any news story and it does not matter whether the
victim participates in a riot or receives a wound through his own negligence, the least anvone

“Bay’s programming cer

According to the Negro

Goodlett, a licensed medical

At Confab
BOSTON, Mass. - Those who
felt that Senator Edward W,
Brooke, the first Negro elect -
ed to the U„ S. Senate, since
Reconstruction, really got a
glimpse at wtet he stands for,
in an address that he delivered
to the night session of the 58th
annual convention, NAAC.P,
Tuesday.
He began by tracing the very
beginning of the fight for free
dom, to tbs Ratios, to Boston'.
He told how WfHiatn Lloyd Gar
rison carried ©a a relentless
fight, through his newspaper,
The Liberator, to .stir the con
science of the nation. He pic
tured the coming of Frederick
Douglass to Boston as the voice
that aroused freedom - loving
people over the diabolical use
of slavery. He saw no better
way to display the Negroes loy
alty than the death of Crispus
Attec&a. And pictured the res
cue of Shsrdrseh and Burns, fey
freedom Sovfeg Bosttnlans,
from the grasp of slave own
ers »ad giving them asylum
here.
He continued, the ctvil rights

SALISBURY - The tactics of Scotland Yard were used here
Tuesday by the FBI, thd Kannapolis police, Concord police
Department and the North Kannapolis police, along with the
sheriff’s department of Rowan and Cabarrus Counties, with help
from the Stanley County sheriff and the SBL The result was
that 12 persons, including the registrar of deeds of Rowan
County, were arrested and given hearings.
The arrests were the results of much investigation of the
terror that has occurred in this section tor a long time. Most
of the men who are charged are said to have strong inclinations
toward the Ku Mux Man.
The arrests were the results
of much investigation of the
terror that has occurred in this
section for a long time. Most
of the men who are charged
are said to have strong incli
nations toward the Ku Klux Klan.
James Wayne Davis, 41, China
Grove, has been the object of
much speculation, since he was
elected registrar of deeds for
Rowan County in the 1966 elec
tion. He was elected on the
Republican ticket, which made
a surprise takeover ctf several
county offices.
He was arrested early Tues
day morning, and brought to the
federal courthouse in Salisbury
by agents shortly after day
break. Davis is charged with
hindering the proper process
of integration in Rowan and
Cabarrus Counties, also wield
ing influence that was intended
to deprive citizens from parti
cipating in the proper execu
tion of the educational program
and the property by injecting
overtones of segregation and
discrimination.
The charges, when summed
up, add up to a conspiracy to
defy law and order by shoot
ing Lite homes, dynamiting bus
iness establishments, burning
churches, residences and pro
perty used by the federal gov
ernment in the prosecution of
the poverty program. y
The arrests were announced
from Washington by Ramsey

General. The warrants were

BY ALEXANDER BARNES
BOSTON, Mass. - Persons
who remember the beautiful
picture that characterized the
closing of the annual meeting of
the NAACP held in Richmond,
more than two decades, with
three of America’s leading lad
ies, Eleanor Roosevelt, Mary
McLeod Beihune and Marian
Anderson, flanked by Wm. C.
Handy, on the platform of Rich
mond’s Mosque as thev sang
“God Be With You Till We Meet
Again” and even the rays of the
setting sun echoed a spirit of
freedom, must have bemoaned
the unfortunate end of the 58th
session at the Sheraton-Boston
Hotel Saturday.
Instead of singing “God be
with you” the final session
ended on a sour note, and even
God’s benediction was not ask
ed upon it. It was perhaps
the most tense ever held. There
were threats and counter
threats, there was bickering
and jockeying. There was name
calling and epithets. The digni
ty that attended the conventions
of yesteryear was gone and this
condition was heart rendering to
veteran delegates who had sup
ported the organization most of
their lives. Veteran delegates
had tears in their eyes as they
attempted to evaluate what the
convention had achieved.
There were those who la
mented the fact that Cecil
Moore, the fiery Philadelphia
lawyer, had taken the organi
zation to court and defied all
of the ethics of a dignified
militant organization. Moore
was not without his followers.
