The NEA committee found the school board’s desegregation plan unsatisfactory because the plan would close two adequate school buildings, produce seri ous overcrowding in a third building and require only black pupils to relocate. The special committee, ap pointed by NEA President George D. Fischer, studied the Hyde County School Systems at the request last Dec. 20 of the Hyde County Unit (cq) of the North Carolina Teachers As sociation (NCTA).

C.; John Gier inger, a guidance counselor from Kansas City, Mo.; Earl Jones, a classroom teachers association official from Wash ington, D. C.; and Robert A. Pattillo, Jr., a college profes sor from Durham, X. C. The special committee found that the Hyde County School board "precipitated a racial crisis” by failing to "seek or encourage representation and participation from the Negro community in developing and adopting a desegregation plan.” The committee therefore re commends that the school board meet with those citizens who favor a desegregation plan which would keep all schools in the county open. The committee recommends further that people chosen to represent the Negro point of view at the proposed meeting should be "acceptable to the black citizens.” Observing that in a county where blacks outnumber whites, it is "insupportable that the board of education should be comprised totally of white members,” the committee urges the county board of elec tions to fill future vacancies with persons who represent the views of the county’s black citizens, In the area of school personnel, the committee re commends that staff members to be released or demoted as a result of desegregation be se lected on the basis of "objec tive and reasonable standards” rather than race Staff vacancies should not be filled through recruitment from outside the system unless none of the displaced staff mem bers qualified, the committee stated.

Secretary Stans said the President’s personal participa tion in the Council meeting Is further evidence of his firm commitment to the success of OMBE in its efforts to helo achieve in the long-range ex pansion of minority business.

Lee, first Black Mayor of Chapel* Hill, and Percy Sutton, Borough, Presi dent of Manhattan and engaging ir. political seminars design ed by Clifton Felton past Na tional Director of Social Ac tions; the fraternity voted to present a series of resolu tions to President Nixon ask ing that action be takent by him on them. The delegates gave the Na tional Body the right to incor porate itself to act as the spon soring body for individual chap - tors of the fraternity who are interested in engaging in the construction of low cost hous ing for the benefit of people of their respective communi ties.

The convention Instructed President McNeil to forward copies of the following resolu tions to President Nixon ask ing that action be giver, their requests: 0) That the Nixon Admini stration hire and use qualified and competent Blacks in more responsible and top level posi tions in the current admini stration. (2) That President Nixon and his Attorney General, im mediately reverse their deci sion to give more time to those States who by clever design bad circumvented orderly com pliance for implementing the 1954 Supreme Court decision which ruled out segregation.

Raleigh Community Relations Body Seeks To Aid All Minority Citizens William R. (Bill) Jessup, ex ecutive secretary ofthe Raleigh Community Relations Com mittee and William R, (Bill) knight, the associate executive secretary, visited the offices of The CAROLINIAN last Fri day morning and were inter viewed as to the direction in which the Committee seems headed. Jessup stated, "One of our main purposes is to help those persons who are discriminated against the most. Many people, especially blacks, want to know where they can go for help. Our offices are located in the Alex ander Building, 133 Fayetteville Street, Room 201, and we are there to hear complaints and to be of ser vice.” A native of Richmond, Va., Mr. Jessup formerly served on the staff of the First Bap tist Church there. Mr. Knight is a former man power specialist with Wake County Opportunities, Inc. One of the main reasons for adding Knight to the staff is that he is black and knows the local community. He began his duties on September 10. Jess up succeeded RomallusO. Mur phy, who resigned the post last December. The major areas of work in which the two men plan to chan nel their energies are explain ed in the following paragraphs: realized in the absence of certain visible, evident a chievements, certain prere quisites, The most fundament al of these conditions are: One, a community in which the dignity and worth of each individual is respected on its own merits; Two, a community in which genuine equality of opportuni ty for all persons is a re cognizable fact or recognized as rapidly becoming a fact; Three, a community which does not accept all poverty as either tolerable or in evitable and which, therefore, works with might and main to eliminate the conditions of pov erty such as slum housing, hunger, joblessness, and hope lessness; Four, a community whose citizens respect and obey the laws, all of them, local, State and Federal; Five, a community which maintains the public order in a professionally competent manner without fear or favor. The Committee has conclud ed that certain actions need to be taken promptly In this com munity and feels obliged to state them at this time. They re late to the five objectives stat ed above. As tangible, immediate evid ence that Raleigh wishes to be, in fact, a community in which human worth is judged individ ually and not on the basis of race, the Committee urges a have not already done so to o pen their membership, activi ty and hospitality to full par ticipation of deserving persons of all races. Jobs: The Committee urges the entire business community to develop employment oppor tunities for the Negro, both young and adult. The Committee urges all a gencies of local government to recruit and train more Ne groes for public service. In case oi both private and public employment, it must be made Known and demon strated that the opportunity In cludes entrance and advance ment to any level of respon sibility. We would urge inserv ice training which may, in num erous cases, be required to overcome accumulated lags In education and background. Education; The Committee "rams the Raleigh school Board to continue its efforts toward pro iciing a system lri full com pliance with the lav. of the land. The Committee urges full citi zen support foi tl ese moac..--- Os equal importance isthatthe Sc' 00l Board make continued efforts to insure an equally hit" standard of educational op port unit) to every child in Ralc-ig! regardless of the school attended. The Committee also urges citizen support and planning for public supported kindergarten and pre-school education as an indispensable measure to In ing equality of opportunity and maximum educational develop ment. Brazen conditions of poverty, slum housing, hunger, jobless ness and jopelessness must command the attention of an enlightened, affluent communi ty. While realizing the bur-' eaucratic structures, fund shortages, and divided authori ty that caharacterize urban re development, slum clearance and housing, the committee nevertheless urges faster ac tion on all fronts of the dis couraged and other impover ished areas. Meantime, pending compre hensive redevelopment and re newal, the Committee urges the Mayor and Council to examine ways and means to improve the physical environment of these low-income areas In any way possible through public action and to give leadership to mean ingful private action to what ever extent is practical. Streets need improving; adequate light ing is needed; sanitary stand ards need to be enforced a galnst landlords and tenants. Recreation facilities need to be expanded The Committee does not be lieve that any citizen or group of citizens or public or pri vate corporation, agency or group has the privileges of se lecting which laws to obey an<L which to disobey. Voluntary obedience and consent of the lawfully governed is precedent to an orderly society in con trast to the policy state or anarchy. The Committee urges all citi zens to act in compliance with law. These Include laws and ordinances governing the pub lic peace, the law of trespass, and the law of arrest. These include also the laws of the Nation and all lawful orders issued in pursuance of them. A mong these Federal law’s are those affecting the civil rights of all citizens. Open housing: The Com mittee endorses the principle of open housing. The Com mittee is confident that the citizens of Raleigh will com ply with the letter and spirit of this legislation. Public order; The Com mittee believes firmly that public order is an essental to Kkkoff For King Center In New York NEW YORK CITY-The Inter national Circle of Friends for the Martin Luther King, Jr., Memorial Center held their kickoff meeting for their firSll Fund Raising Project last Sun day at the Americana Hotel.

It should also at all times be demonstrably plain that equal protection of the laws means protection from nightriders, as well as from rioters, neither of vhich is representative of the community.
