numbering system off. Staff
members of Wider Job Oppor
tunities and the Employment Se
curity Commission - who were
handling the details of getting
people where they were sup
posed to be - had to get each
walk-in registered and placed.
As a result of the confusion,
hundreds oi people milled about
in the coliseum halls. Long
lines extended front the colise
um seats, through thehalls, and
into the back room where the
employers were interviewing.
Scores of women smoked and
chatted as they waited for their
numbers to be called. Many
were never called, and were
told to come back Tuesday.
Wade said he considers Job
Day a major step in Winston-
Salem's attack on poverty. "We
have learned again that poverty
Is basically a problem of people
not having jobs,” Wade .said.
Job Day "exposed hard-core
poverty to these employers for
the first time,’ Wade said. "I
take pride in the way the em
ployers have mobilized to make
this attack. There is more
Interest and awakening in the
consciousness of the communi
ty. People understand more
now than after the riots."
Benton had asked more than
500 employers to participate In
Job Day Wade said those who
came Monday represented
"generally the larger record.
Most people do not like to talk
about their records, but this
man pulled a sheet of paper
out oi his billfold with every
thing right on it. He had four
serious crimes on ftis record,
but we were so impressed with
his sincerity and his honesty
that we hired him on the spot."

The source also said that It
was fortunate that the trustees
did not know that there was a
group of students that planned
a demonstration, had the trus
tees tailed to make a favor
able decision. The source said
that the trustees felt they were
being pressured into permitting
Powell to speak, it might have
rendered an unfavorable deci
sion.
It was the thinking that the
trustees are ready and willing
to listen to the pleas of the stu
dents, as long as they are bas
ed on principles, but when the
issues are raised only to bring
about a confrontation of the ad
ministration, then it is possible
that the answer will be nega
tive.

campus, let it be known that the
decision by the trustees did
i > constitute an endorsement
■'l the spe tker’s view, by the
institution, or ihe sponsoring
organization.
It was reported that there
is an exchange of correspon
dence between the ousted Har
lem congressman and the stu
dent union. And as soon as
there is a meeting of minds,
the date will set.
STRUGGLE
(Continued from past- t)
The president was conscious
of the . fact that the Negro stu
dent has become weary in well
doing and could easily take
another way In defending him
self. "It was ttie purpose of
the workshop to try to work out
a plan whereby the student could
hold his dignity and protect his
life and limb, by becoming a
reconstructionist. He realizes
that he is being rebuffed as a
kneelist and must be given
guidelines whereby he can help
reconstruct America, by anoth
er approach," he said.
He was afraid that the Negro
college student would not con
tinue to permit police and other
law enforcement representa
tives to invade their campuses,
with weapons and continue to be
treated like beasts. He had
discerned on the horizon of
equal human dignity, not snip
ing. looting, burning and nil
-1 aging, but a face to face bat
tle with the conflict, in the
streets, the campuses, or any
other place the need arose.
BAKER
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
that there was supposed to have
been a check from the welfare,
but it has not arrived. "We
have been making out the best
we could, since I was shot,"
he said. He did not know when
he would be able to go back
to work or how his family would
be cared for.
Baker is facing a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to kill. He is also
facing an appeal from another
case of using a gun, where he
was sentenced to six months on
the roads.
In the assault case, he was
bound over to the Wake County
Superior Court at a prelimi
nary hearing that was held in
City Court Friday.
Police files show that Baker
refused to have hts picture tak
en, even though he had a rec
ord that required his picture
being made. The situation was
different with the man he shot.
Williams had only been arrest
ed for failure to have a driv
er’s license, his picture was
in the file.
In the second case Baker was
charged with striking Albert
Lucas, 226 Bledsoe St., over
the head with the barrel of the

of both races, are meeting, in
an effort to make Orangeburg
a better place in which to live.
Restitution, by paying damages
to the families of the three
students and for injuries to
the 37 survivor , is being dis
cussed.
Six hundred national guards
men are being kept on vigil,
with sentries on the campus
of South Carolina State Col
lege. An aide to Governor
Robert McNair said Monday
that they would remain as long
as they felt necessary, even
though most of the students at
the two schools, State and
damn, have long since depart -
.ed to the climes oi their
respective homes, some per
haps, never to return to the
scene, where three of their
fellows fell like beasts to the
fire of angry patrolmen.
However, there is another
side. Merchants said a nightly
curfew clamped on (lie town
since Friday night by the gover
nor already has taken a heavy
economic toll Negroes liegan
their no-buying campaign Mon
day.
About 800 Negroes in A Sun
day meeting voted for a boy
cott of white-owned businesses
to bring pressure for racial
changes and immediate with
drawal of the National Guard.
The first day of a Negro
economic boycott prompted
business and civic leaders to
hold closed door meetings,
Monday and ponder sweep
ing civil rights demands in the
wake of racial violence
Bankers gathered for private
talks on employment practices
and a newly formed biracial
committee met in closed ses
sion.
How successful the boycott
was could not be immediately
determined. There were few
Negroes among shoppers in the
business district dui ingtheday.
Included in Negro demands
made Sunday were suspension
of police officers "responsible
for the police brutality” and
restitution by the state to fami
lies of the dead and injured to
gether with greater integration
of jobs in city and county gov
ernments and full scale integra
tion of the schools.
Last week’s racial violence
climaxed a series of Negro stu
dents demonstrations after a
Feb. 5 sit-in at a segregated
bowling alley, Ail Star Triangle
Inc.
HEARING TO BE HELD
A hearing will be held Thur
sday in U. S. District Court
at Charleston on a Justice De
partment suit demanding dese
gregation of the bowling alley.
F ederal Judge .1. Robert Mm -

cause why a temporary injunc
tion should not be issued requir

The complaint against the
bowling alley was signedSatur

Clark.
SHAW SPEAKER
(ConttnuKl from pare T)
in 1958, used as his subject,
"A Time To Act.’
"Throughout history, we can
look back on events which in
themselves didn’t look terribly
important at the time, but re
sulted in massive reaction, such
as the case in Newark and W atts.
Both incidents were triggered
by single incidents.
"The sores have been left
to fester and finally erupt Into
violence. The entire city then
becomes caught up.
"Even with the progress
made in today’s world, this is
still not justice. What does
it mean for a man to be able
to eat in a restaurant if he
has no money for a meal?"
The dynamic Brant on went on
to say that "Millions of Black
Americans will never forget the
many atrocious acts perpetrat
ed against them. The despair
is so, deep rooted that Negroes
think the doors are still clos
ed because they have been shut
fob so long.
"At this time, the crying need
in the Negro community today
is that of leadership. This is a
time for action and 1 am elat
ed over Shaw’s attempt to do
something about it.’

GRIEVANCES
(Continued from page 1)
in the wake of the melee, the
students mulled the possibility
of marching on City Hall or the
stale capital tn Columbia.
Nance, however, had other
ideas. He recommended a boy
cott ot the city’s downtown area
both as a means of preventing
further violence and to bring e
conomic pressure for redress
of grievances within the com
munity.
