P. 2) NAACPh ShyFmm Mmkmks' ATLANTIC CITY - The NAACP, in coming out for black power, has broken with the mod erate image it has long main tained. Shortly after 200 angry "Yeung Turks” stormed out of the association’s 59th annual convention, the remaining 1,000 "old guard” delegates approved a resolution declaring that the NAACP "adopts the concept of black power to liberate the people of the large ghetto areas of our nation.” Such a resolution had been one of the alms of the youth group, whose members left before the statement was approved, The resolution defined black power as control of educational institutions and economic bases of power, as well as the crea tion and control of independent political groups within the black community. Another resolution urged a week-long boycott "in which all black people in. the USA will refrain hrom non-essential buy ing from businesses which are not black. 1 ” Just before the convention ended, the resolutions were ap proved as concessions to the young militants. The youth group, while whi ning a theoretical victory in the NAACP’s identification with black power, was unsuccessful in gaining autonomy within the association. CORE Will Re-Define Direction COHJMBUS, Ohio - CORE has become a "black national ist” organization seeking to "redefine the relationship be tween blacks and whites In this country,” according to its new acting director, Roy Innis. The militant group plaits to develop programs that will give black people the right of self determination and control of their own communities. This includes domination of the eco nomic, political, and social in stitutions operating in the com munity, Innis said at CORE'S annual convention: "We’re talking about creating a new political subdivision, and as such we would control the flow of goods and services in that subdivision.” In addition to moving ahead with black nationalism. CORE aims at "tightening up” its structure so that it can build a disciplined force that will accomplish its goal. € musing His Mother ieigh (McCullers Hd,, near CaryX The reason for the 11:45 a. m. shooting, according to witness es was that Jacob and Joseph were arguing about something which has not been made pub lic.

S. Tutors DALLAS, Tex. - The 106th annual convention of the Na tional Education Association critically examined American society Sunday termed it “in deep trouble,” and prescribed better education as perhaps the only cure. Tire 7,103 delegates and their leaders grappled with educa tional and social problems re lated to the ghetto, poverty, educational deprivation, grow ing racial separation, crime and riots, drug abuse, campus disturbances, and other evi dences of current social unrest or malady. An unscheduled incident —a painful confrontation with the racial issue became the con vention's most discussed and widely publicized event. It quickly grew into an interna tional incident and gave NEA occasion to put the convention theme, “Commitment to Ac tion,*’ to an immediate practi cal test. Refusal of service to the First Secretary of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Lesotho by a small Dallas tavern, and sub sequent refusal to serve a Ne gro NEA staff member and some Negro convention dele gates, sent waves of intense resentment through the con continuing to curse.
