The party’s main emphasis, he said, will be on black peo ple controlling their area* and on building links among non white throughout the world, “It will not be the traditi onal political party giving you a choice between the lesser of two evils,” Hutchings said, “but a party defined by Mack people and filling the needs of black people.” The party's symbol -a black panther - was first used by the Lowndes County (Ala.)

Ray MEMPHIS - What made James Earl Ray change his course of action by agreeing to face trial in the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. t after, at first, fighting extra dition to this country? Did Ray come home to “prove his innocence” in a slaying en gineered by someone else? What if Ray was actually the trigger man but was hired by some ra cist to kill Dr. King? He plead ed innocent to a charge ofjnur dering Dr. King, through his Alabama attorney, Arthur Haines, in Memphis Monday of this week. Or what if the suspect had nothing to do with the assas sination, but was only the “fall guy” and knows who actually did it? All these were questions be ing asked as investigators sought to explain Ray’s puzzl ing’ decision to give up his fight against extradition tothis coun try and to face trial. The sus pect had been in a London jail after being arrested in that city under the name of Ramon George Sneyd. U. S, officials are also in terested in finding out why the accused assassin was so eager to “clear his name.” Couldn't he as easily have cleared his name in London, and not have to face execution for what he says? Or does he simply have the urge to “confess” as some criminal suspects do? Could it even be that he wants to “con fess” his role to the assassi nation of Dr King, even though (»«« MAY'S SUDDEN.
