Taylor, who as acting chairman of the North Carolina Good Neighbor Council has spent many hours trying to avert racial crisis in Hyde County and other areas, pre dicted in a recent speech to North Carolina College alumni that Hyde County’s problems will be repeated in many other areas “unless the total com munity is involved in working out desegregation plans.” “Our schoo 1 s.....have be come the testing ground of the ability of black and white com munities to work together and share power,” Dr. Taylor said.

In an Interview appearing In the current issue of Look maga zine, the woman whose husband has become a martyr of the black revolution said: “I believe what Malcolm told me. He believed, after careful analysis, that the Government would have him killed, but would use the Black Muslims (as killers) because of the friction between himself and them. “He learned some things the Government did not want him to know.” Two Black Muslims and a third man have been sentenced to life imprisonment for gun ning down Malcolm In New York's Audubon Ballroom in 1965, after he left the move ment to build one of his own. Although some observers feel that Malcolm’s last days raise a promise of racial integration, his widow said that it would not work. “Blacks have been trying to Integrate for nearly four centuries.” she declared in Look, “and they have failed. Integration has failed. We have been forced into separate neigh borhoods and separate lives, and now, we have to go our own way.
