a promising development and
labeled it as the type of re
sults that the Office of Eco
nomic Opportunity are looking
for.
Here is the actual way the
report described FAPRO:
INDIGENOUS POOR PEOPLE’S
GROUPS
Fayetteville Poor Peoples
Organization (FAPPO) is view
ed by the Executive Director
and many non-poor board re
presentatives as a dissident
group interested In taking over
the CCCAP and destroying it.
The evaluation team found no
such evident and views FAPPO
as an authentic effort on the part '
of the poor to organize them
selves. This group as an in
digenous group comprised prin
cipally of the poorest residents
and centered in the Blount
Street area can be a promising
development in fulfilling com
munity action goal, i.e., inde
pendent organizations of the
poor identify needs and work
for community solutions. The
CCCAP should view FAPPOnot
as threat, but should seek ways
to work with this group. OEO
Instructions make provision for
“technical assistance, training,
staff assistance and funds where
possible” to such independent
poor people’s groups.
A spokesman for FAPPO said
that the organization has just
been refunded and a “master
organizer” has been employed
to tmplement new programs and
to strengthen older ones.
The spokesman also said that
CCCAP has refused to pro
vide any technical assistance
in writing proposals, training
or staff assistance. On the
other hand, he said that FAPPO
has made every effort to be
cooperative with CCCAP, but to
no avail.
No statement was made on
what action will be taken if ’
Murray refuses to apologize
publicly. It is known that Rev.
C. T. Williams, President of
FAPPO; was the person that
made the motion for Murray
to be dismissed from his job
as Executive Director of CC

On the other hand, Hobson
Reynolds, president of the Ne
gro Elks organization, quotes
Nixon as saying he is “going
to do more for the underpri
vileged and more for the Negro
than any other President has
ever done.”
Reynolds also reports that
Nixon has hited about the ap
pointment of several Negroes
to high-level positions,
Just what will Nixon actually
do? He can’t both oppress
Black people and give them a
better deal. Something in be

NIXON SEEKS

moment of his life-being sworn
in as president of these United
States. He began the day-of
days in his life by having a
prayer - breakfast, where he
wanted supplications made to
the Supreme Being as he took
over the ship-of-state.
Those who were able to at
tend the hreaiaast, including
newsmen, reported it as the
most soul - searching outward
manifestation ever shown by a
President. He emerged from the
spiritual feast with a new look
and a beam that made it ap
pear that he had regirded him
self for the day. As he joined
his wife for the trip to the
White House, he still showed
signs of having been lifted by
the prayers that were offered in
his behalf.
It was the thinking of many
that the prayers were still
ringing in his ears as he was
met by President Johnson and
they entered the White House.
His solicit ious meeting and
greeting of President Johnson
displayed the fact that although
he was ascending to the highest
office in the land, he was still
humble.
Upon arriving at the Capitol,
he was still aglow with the
fervency of the prayers and
showed it as Bishop Charles
Ewbank Tucker, sth District
AME Zion Church, delivered the
first prayer. A close look at
the man who was soon to be
come the head of the world's
greatest nation revealed that he
was in direct tune with the words
at the top of this story. He
not only bowed his head at
every word of prayer uttered
by the messengers of Christ,
but kept his eyes closed as if
in meditation with the words
being sent up in his behalf.
It should be noted that the
Inaugural Committee chose
persons representing the pre
dominantly Christian religious
faiths. This choice seemed to
have blended with the Presi
dent’s address, in which he call
ed for a togetherness of Ameri
ca in order to move forward.
The pomp and splendor of
the parade was not altered by

small incidents that the police
and soldiers put down verv

wobld-be troublemakers were
hauled off to jail. The trouble

guard was In evidence at this
point. After passing this point,
the top of the bullet-proff car,
In which the President and Mrs.
Nixon rode, was opened and the
cheering crowed were able to
get a better view of them.
The Johnsons moved out
quickly after the swearing-in
ceremonies. They went to a
luncheon at the home of an old
friend and then to Andrews Air
Force Base, where they took off
for Texas. Johnson, whose pop

Nixon was well-received at all

MAN SHOT
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
After taking Mr. Kitchen from
Hex, the wife stated, she took
him to Dr. Russel C. Walton,
jr., a dentist on Clark Avenue,
where “six or seven” of
Kitchen’s teeth were removed.
She said Dr. Walton advised
her to sit up with her husband
overnight and said he believed
the man should have been ad
mitted to Rex, Mrs. Kitchen
stated.
She said her husband’s tongue
swelled up after they arrived
back home and “I sat up with
him all night long with the
light on because I was afraid.”
Mrs. Kitchen said she did call
in some neighbors after a time,
and about 8:15 a.m. Monday an
ambulance, called by her,
arrived and took Kitchen to
Wake Memorial Hospital, where
a tracheotomy was performed
to permit him to breathe, Mrs.
Kitchen was called at 3 a.m.
Tuesday and informed that her
husbands’s condition had
worsened.
She told CAROLINIAN
managing editor Charles R.
Jones early Wednesday that
fragments of the bullet had
entered a portion of Kitchen’s
brain, apparently causing the
paralysis.
A native of Fairmont in Robe
son County, Mr. Kitchen in
formed Officer Donald C. Brin
son at 8;06 p.m. Sunday, that
he was driving in his 1968
Chevrolet Impala, headed west
on Peace Street at its inter
section with N. Wilmington when
he heard what appeared to be
a gun shot. At this point, Kitchen
stated, a 1968 Ford Galaxie Ford
pulled up behind him and one of
the three male occupants, and
one of the men shot him in the
mouth, then the Ford proceeded
to pass his car and headed west
on Peace Street.
Mr. Kitchen also told the
officer that he continued west
on Peace Street to Tops Service
Station, 122 W. Peace, where
police officers and an ambu
lance were summoned.
He was only able to describe
the man who shot him. The as
sailant was said to be about 30
years old, not wearing an over
coat, but a brown, checkered
sport shirt and his hair was
blonde. He failed to get the
license number of the automo
bile.
A check at Rex Hospital by
The CAROLINIAN, In an attempt
to contact Mr. Joseph Barnes,
administrator, revealed that he
was out sick with a back ail
ment. But a newsman did con
fer with a Mr. Glover, an ad
ministrative resident, who is
a student at Duke University,
Durham.
Mr. Glover, after checking
\fith Rex’s emergency room
officials, said, “At that time,
there was no medical reason
to keep the man here* There
was no hemorrhaging, nor any
neurological reason to keep him
at Rex Hospital.
STABBED TO
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
McLamb is alleged to have re
torted, “She's my damn wife
and I’ll slap her when I get
ready.”
“She told me that everybody
was drinking,” said Mr. Ben
nett. She said she left home
when a fight started and came
back to find her husband dead.
Mrs. McLamb was not held
at first, but after some in
vestigation she was ordered
held until the Inquest is con
cluded.
After developing the flu at
the jail, Mrs, McLamb was
treated there by a physician
who said that if she had not
been attended to right away her
illness would have gone into
pneumonia.
On Tuesday morning, she was
taken to Wake Memorial Hospi
tal an X-ray was made, then re
turned to the jail.
Funeral services for Mr. Mc
uamb were not complete at
CAROLINIAN press time.
CONYERS
(CONTINUED PROM PAG* I)
October 9, 1967 is an omnibus*
bill, costing S3O billion annually
for ten years, which seeks to
deal with the major problems
of poverty and discrimination.
The legislation lias full employ-
ment,* minimum wage, family
allowance, compensatory
education, post seconder;
education, adequate housing
and anti-discrimination
provisions.
“1 do not look on this bill
as the ultimate answer to the
problems of the poor and min
ority groups,” said Conyers,
“but 1 feel that by emphasising
the inter-relationship of all the
problems and aiming at the
same kind of solution, the Full
Opportunity Act serves to edu
cate both the Congress and- the
American public on the magni
tude of the crisis which faces
us all.”
The legislation was first in
troduced several months before
the report of the Kerner Com
mission on Civil Disorders, but
it mirrors the findings of the
Commission and is the only
legislation which would imple
ment their recommendations.
The Full Opportunity Act has
not only been endorsed by such
groups as the Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference and
the Americans for Democratic
Action, but also by Professor
Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Urban
Affairs Advisor to President
Richard M. Nixon.

best leave any prejudices they
have outside.
“People will come from main
places. Both blacks anc! whites
have called me and telegramed
from all over the nation inquir
ing as to how they may be able
to live in Soul City.”
Four industries have already
committed themselves to come
to the proposed areas, Mckis
sick stated, and two others have
approached him about building
there.
“The land option had already
been patd for and by February
18, we will have the 1,810 acres
of land free and clear,” he
told the writers.
After reading a prepared
statement regarding Soul City,
Mr. McKissick asked each of the
men at the head table to speak.
All gave glowing accounts of
what they envisioned for the
proposed town, which is slated
to have 18,000 residents in ten
years from the time it is com
pleted.
A determined McKissick con
cluded the conference with his
statement: “If everything falls
down and becomes unfavorable,
we are gonna build Soul City
and we are gonna build it in
Warren County because black
folks are in the majority
there.”

He was quite helpful In the
organization of the Concerned
Afro - American Republicans
and contributed much to its on -
going. His last contribution to
the GOP was the publication
of a magazine, known as the
American Voter, which is no"
being distributed tin ougkout tin
country. It was designed to t ,■
the official organ of the Con
cerned Afro - American Repub
licans.
He was born in Columbus,
