EDITORIAL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) are already burning in our city. “The inadequacies of the city school system are acknow ledged by men and women of all races and religions who are concerned with improving public education in New York. To charge that these inade quacies are the result of a specific policy and design by Jews is a vicious piece of racism that can serve only to debase any rational approach to the school problem. “T!iis kind of attack is adis heartening example of the tactics employed by extremist groups in the school crisis. It insults the great mass of Jews who are concerned about the very evils of racism, dis crimination and the failure of our schools. “We are confident that the Jewish community will not be deterred by this attack from the great effort that must be launched to strengthen and im prove the education of all our children. We are equally con fident t. A the black citizens of om city will reject the bla tant appeal to bigotry contained In the editorial of the African- American Teachers Forum,” he concluded.

Gillespie allegedly informed the ‘ coroner that he had about SGO iii his pocket and a SSOO Insurance policy on his wife. He said he pulled out the S6O, counted out forty, saying it would be no trouble to bury his wife and that he*d have S2O left over, when Smith “grabbed for the money, but didn’t get It.” At this time, the coroner stat ed. the sister-in-law is said to have screamed something at which time Smith is reported to have told her “not to say a damn thing,” Mr. Gillespie had brought his axe in side his house after chopping wood for the night. Smith spied the weapon, grab bed it and cut the legs from under the straight-back chair Gillespie was sitting in, knock ing Mr. Gillespie to the floor beside his couch. He told the coroner that he kept his shotgun under the couch for safety reasons and to keep it hidden from children. He said he picked up the gun just as Smith was aiming the axe in his direction again and “let him have it .” Gillespie was later freed un der a SSOO bond. A hearing is scheduled at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the Zebulon Recorder’s Court. The investigation was carried out by Wake County Deputy Sheriff J. T. Hilliard. Funeral services for Mrs. Gillespie were conducted at 2 p.m. Monday at the Merry Grove Baptist Church, Zebulon, with the Rev. J. T. Parks in charge. Arrangements for Smith had not been announced at press time. “BOOM TOWN” (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) alternative to urban ghettos and rural decay. Secretary of Agriculture Or vill Freeman has offered his Department’s assistance and advice to McKissick Enter prises in planning the Warren County, North Carolina venture. Housing legislation passed in the last session of Congress authorizes federal guarantees of tends issued by community organizations for construction of new cities. Staff members of McKissick Enterprises will work with the Rouse Company, developers of new city Columbia, Maryland, to acquire expertise in the “art” of planning and Imple mentation of New Towns. The town to be constructed in North Carolina will be lo cated in the so-called “Black Belt” of the South, and one primary goal of the project will be development ofthe black urban technological skills. As in all federal projects, the new community will be open to citi zens of all races, creeds and colors The enterprise will also be aimed at revitalization of a ru ral agricultural area todemon stiate that good job, quality education and cultural enhance ment can be created in decay -ing rural areas. It is consid ered essential to the country’s future that a new way of life be built in the non-urban areas of the country to end the mass migration of unskill ed poor peo ple to the slums of the cities. Most new communities in the past have been bulit near large metropolitan centers. England, in particular, has had success with programs designed to move slum residents to previously constructed new towns in out lying areas. The North Caro lina project will be one of the first attempts to construct such a city in a rural area not near any of the American “mega lopolises.” The site selected for the new town contains 1,810 acres in Warren County, N, C„ about an Labor Dept. Study Aids Negro Employment Washington -- The Laboi Department’s Manpower Ad ministration has issued a new publicat ion designed to help em - plovers in their efforts to uti lize workers from minority groups, The pu bl ic a t iori , entitled “Finding Jobs for Negroes: A Kit of Ideas for Management,” is based on a contract research study by Prof. Louis A. Fer mat) of the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations, The University of Michigan -- Wayne State University. Pointing out that a business man’s good intentions and his sense of duty are not always enough for effective action to equalize employment oppor tunities, the monograph tells about the problems faced fey 20 con i panies studied by Prof. Kerman. It outlines the necessity for commitment by top management and the development and com munication of company policy. It also details the obstacles which may be encountered in achieving equal employment op portunities for Negroes and methods of overcoming those obstacles. J Copies of this publication are available from the U.S, Depart ment of Later’s Manpower Ad ministration in Washington, D. C., or from any of the Depart ment’s Regional information Offices. hour’s drive northeast from Durham, U. S. Highway 1 runs through the middle of the prop erty. Warren Couistv Is situated In the colorful Piedmont area, on the slope from the Applachlan Mountains to the Atlantic O cean, Though blessed with teau tlful scenery and numerous creeks and lakes the area lias been an economic backwater for generations. Median Income for families in the 19,000 popula tion country In the 1960 census was $1,958 - among the lowest in the country. Borderline subsistence farming has been the primary way of life In Warren County, as in other “black belt” areas since the Civil War. The coun ty was largely black as long ago as 1930, when census figures showed 63.5 per cent Negroes among the total population. The 1960 census revealed that 12,703 of the county’s residents were non-white, with an aver age of six years of formal ed ucation. Census figures also re veal a very low unemploy ment rate, indicating not so much that there is aainful em ployment available, but that most of the population continues to attempt to peck a living out of the soil instead of going on relief rolls. McKissick Enterprises’ “New Town” in Warren Coun ty will be a totally planned community, utilizing the latest knowledge in the field of city planning to create a harmonious environment and productive working conditions. Another important goal of the city’s planners is the train ing of additional members of minority groups to attempt sim ilar ventures In other impov erished parts of the country. All aspects of the new city will be detailed in advance, in cluding industries, schools, health and welfare- facilities and all other facets of daily life in'a small city. McKissick Enterprises pro jects the potential population of the new city at about 18,000. The total will be subject to change as planning evolves, de pendent on the type of indus try and other variables. The Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions has been particularly active in sup porting the new cities idea, saying that “new cities could alter the way of life of mil lions of Americans, for it has the potentiality of making a real breakthrough in the unreal isolation of upper middle class whites from the Negro and white residents of the city slum and ghetto areas. What could e~ merge are communities imbued with a sense of common parti cipation and common purpose rather than communities divi ded by anger, fear and dis trust.” Mr. McKissick devoted con siderable attention to the “New Town” concept while an asso ciate of the Metropolitan Ap plied Research Center, re searching social problems. He is convinced that new town of fers one of the most fruitful avenues of attack on the prob lems plagueing American so ciety today. The 1,810 acres of land set aside for the project were ac quired on option by McKissick Enterprises at a sale price of nearly $500,000.00. A proposal has been prepared for a planning grant to develop the detailed plan required for the new city.
