Five per sons were elected to serve on the Mayor’s Advisory Commit tee as representatives of the South side Area. The Mayor could have ap pointed these people himself. However, it is said he felt it more profitable if the com munity elects them. The duties of the five people are to meet with the Mayor to discuss prob lems in the Southside area and to inform the people in the community of activities being discussed in the Mayor’s Com mit fee; also to bring complaints before the committee. Approximately 100 persons were present at the meeting,, Joseph Whitaker presided over the meeting. Next week The CAROLINIAN will entertain a column edited by a Southside resident who will discuss the pros and cons of Urban Renewal as it affects its people as well as other topics of current interest. Medicare Allays Fears Os Elderly Three top officials involved in the implementation of the medi care program present their views on the first year’s op eration of the medicare pro gram in the Julv issue of the Social Security Bulletin. Robert M. Ball,Commission er of Social Security, Arthur E. Hess, Deputv Soctal Securi ty Commissioner, and William H. Stewart, M, I),, Surgeon General Public Health Service, described the impact of the new program of health insurance for the aged as it goes into its second year. The Com missioner of Social Security, in a brief article en titled ‘ 'Medicare’s First Year, ’’ states that the progr am has en hanced the quality of life for older Americans. By assuring the payment of the major por tion of large medical bills, it has allayed much of the fear of the financial consequences of becoming ill, so much a con cern of the elderly who gener ally do not have the private insurance or funds to handle huge medical (-'xpenses. Medical care hats become more responsive to the actual needs of the elderly patient by permitting doctors to select from a wider variety ot health services in prescribing care with less concern forth a finan cial costs, Ball said. The pro gram has already produced im - provements in the quality of earn in hospitals and related facilities through upgrading of their physical plant, personnel, and services In order to meal the conditions jrf participation, he noted. * f«*ts F. 9) North Carolina ’$ Leading Weekly PCSE3 VITK His Dj-aaj - Auajiia, ua,: l>i\ jviarai! nuttier King Jr. enters Southern Christian Leadership Conference headquarters here Aug. 15 shortly before he delivered his most militant speech to date on big; city problems to delegates attending the 10th annual SCLC - Convention.

King said his Southern Chris tian Leadership Conference (SCLC)is shifting its tactics and its targets to begin an assault on inequity in Northern urban areas. The tactics, he said, will be devised at an SCLC staff meet ing in about two weeks. King did not say where the meet ing would be held. The Nohe! Peace Prize win ner, speaking to the 10th an niversary convention of SCLC, said the new target will be the big cities rather than the rural South Where the organization has worked much of the past 10 years. The civil disobedience in A merica’s cities “would have to begin this year,’ - he told the convention in a stern speech on urban rioting, its causes and cures. King said this summer’s riots “were a Negro response that said “inequality will now be resisted to the death’,” and blamed them on “the policy makers of the white society.” But he said he still was con vinced that the Negroes’ goal can best be attained through nonviolence. “The tragic truth is that Congress, more than the A merican people, is now ruo «*#® iraw©'« m. 9. m §k§m Chwmkms Itfutsf Massive l emmmk Pkm NEW 'YORK - The National Committee at Negro Churchmen has sent a telegram to President Johnson and to 'Congressional leaders calling for a massive economic development plait to meet the crisis to the cities and warning that Negro eapart.? as well as "reeognfcad reMgtour and community ieacterahSp* with economic development experience must be Involved to meti planning to order to gain tin.* confidence at diaiilusioned jwsopie to slum areas.
