Not only is he protected by British law which makes it hard to extradite criminal sus pects —but he can appeal his case repeatedly, all the way to the house of Lords, if he loses. < As an indication of the think ing of Ray and his attorneys, a plea has been entered for political sanctuary. Under treaties between Bri tain and the U. S, which date back to the 1870 s, there is a prohibition against extraditinga person sought for <e an offense of a political character." This clause was originally inserted to grant sanctuary to opponents of European mon archs and republicans who used the guillotine, scaffold and dun geon to remove their opposition. About four years ago, the British high courts expanded the criteria for political sanctuary prevtously limited to the planned overthrow of govern ment to include opposition to a government's policy or ad visors. It is upon this latter angle that Ray is seeking asylum, for according to his lawyers, Klan Rally Could CauseTrouble Even though the temperatures have soared to high and very high degrees, during the week, It is believed that with Gover nor Moore out of the country and Grand Dragon J.

Jones also announced that there would be one held in Raleigh, at a time yet un announced. Should it be held it will be the first in almost two years. The last rally was held August 1966 and except for planned safety rules and regulations, could have gotten out of hand.

It had bruises practically all over it Even though the husband had caught them in what was be lieved to be the very act, he was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Due to the condition of the two beaten persons, it was not de termined when he would be brought to trial. Persons who knew the two brothers were of the opinion that both Ulis and Patricia were lucky that Milton restrained himself.

Should the Klan decide to hold a meeting, during these hot days, it is feared that there must be close security measures taken and there might be need of National Guardsmen. It is to be remembered that the 1966 meet was visited by a group of Negroes, while others stood outside looking around. The 1966 meeting was hold at the Memorial Auditorium, across the street from Shaw University and in the vicinity of one 0! the most crime blight ed areas ol the city.

Williams, self-exiled militant leader, who tied this country in 1961, after go'ing from country to country, says that the latent instincts of Monroe and the urge to put his feet on American soil, have created within him a craving for the little freedom he en joyed here. The deposed leader of the NAACP, who is said to have gone too far in his quest for freedom at any cost, has wandered almost aimlessly since he fled to Cuba, allegedly to avoid prosecution in a case where he is charged with kid naping a white couple, while he was protesting in Monroe. He is said to have made his intentions known in a cable to a representative ot a Charlotte, television station. According to persons who are said to have known the contents of the message, sent to America, there were some reservations. Williams is said to have inquired as to whether it was necessary to go to Mon roe, from whence he fled, to get himself straight for en try in the United States and to regain his citizenship rights. He Is alleged to have said that if it is necessary for him to go gack to Monroe that of ficials are asking for a lot of trouble, which he felt they could avoid.

The astute politican, considered one of the best in the business, Plan To Stop Convention Grab wt'W YORK CITY - More then 175 Republican Negro leaders, from 18 states and the District of Columbia, meeting in a two day session, at the Statler-Hil ton Hotel, Friday and Satur day, vowed that the shades of the 1969 convention would not hover over the 1968 conven tion. The tempo of the meet ing was set by Alexander Barns North Carolina, at the opening,' of a dinner meeting. Z3I let it be known that he believed such a move would fall on deal ears, if it were present ed in that wise. He intimat ed that Hawkins might have other recourse, but the argu ment thus far advanced was not evidence enough to show bad laith on the pa . of the State Democratic Com. • .don.

WASHINGTON - Economic boycotts in 40 cities across ine nation are the next tactic planned by the Poor People’s marchers in their campaign to win a better deal for poverty stricken Americans. That’s the word from Ralph D. Abernathy, jailed lead er of the Poor People’s cam paign, who has started an “ln deflnite fast” in order to « strengthen himself "for the fight ahead.” He told newsmen that he would consume only liquids and medi cine that his body might need. The economic boycotts are being planned in view of the Poor marchers’ loss of their two concrete symbols Resur rection city and their mule train, both of which have been removed by police. Loss of these symbols has made it harder for the march ers to find something to rally around. The best they have been able to do is to direct their ani mosity against various federal departments and agencies which have, on the whole been lukewarm, but not antagonistic, to their demands. Lacking symbols of their own and a monolithically evil ene my to confront, the marchers have almost had to arrange their arrests in order to dramatize the poor people’s plight. As this is not a satisfactory way to conduct a protest cam fSee ABERNATHY. P. 2) Education Stalling in State The failure of many of the county school systems in North Carolina to comply with the de segregation edict of 1964 is put ting many of them in a bad po sition with the U. S. Depart ment of Health Education and Welfare. The failure of those affected systems to gear their program could prove a serious blow to the entire school sys tem of the State. The latest development lias to do wifih the Greensboro City schools. The situation was so serious until the regional office of HEW decided that it would have to turn negotiations with the Greensboro officials over to higher authorities in Wash ington. iSupt. p. J, Weaver said Tues day that he had received a letter dated June 27 to that ef fect and that lie was told to correspond in the . future with Dr. Lloyd Henderson of tho U. S. Department of Health, Ed ucation and Welfare’sWashlag ton civil rights office. The Greensboro city school system maintains that it is in compliance with the Civil Rights Act on school desegregation. It has requested HEW to submit an alternate plan, which the department agreed to do, but has not done., This action followed suits in Winston - Salem and Durham, where interested persons have gone to court and asked full compliance. There have bean instances where funds have been tied up, due to non-compliance. The situation in Raleigh has long since said to have become in compatible with the edjets hand ed down from Washington. The situation has become so alarming in Harnett County until the county board would not re lease the contents, pending Its meeting Monday. It was the belief that the board was given a deadline to present a new plan to HEW, in Washington. School authorities in Harnett have received a letter from the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare regard ing Integration of public schools in the county. (See N. C.
