THE CAROLINIAN RAUSIGH, N. C.. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1970 2 RETALIATION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1> it-iisi i'& people were treated for injuries; several were hos pitalized. One woman had her kidney removed after being shot. The Greers believe the vio lence was a response to the growing political power of the black community. More than 60 per cent of the registered voters are black, and if the vot ing is fair on Nov. 3 they could win the mayor’s and alderman’s seat. This area of Arkansas still has a plantation economy. The man who control the political life of tiie town--the mayor and the school board--are plan tation owners. Jackie Greer lost her job as a teacher when the CCIA led mass picketing to have a gar bage dump removed from the center of the black communi ty in 1968. She has been unable to find a teaching job since, although she has five years’ experience in the Arkansas school system and a master’s degree in foreign languages. In June, 1968, the CCIA start ed a selective-buying campaign to force the hiring of black peo ple. Some people who took part lost their jobs; others were evicted from the plantations on which they lived and worked. The same thing is happening now, in the wake of the school demonstrations. CLAIM COPS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) of tiie black members of the police department. “I am ap pear! ng before you tonight,” Samuels said, "to find out if any progress has been made on the grievances presented to >ou by black police at your comruittee-of-the whole meet ing. "I would like to know if t: ere is a progress report from the city manager, and if not, when one will be made,” he said. •This is not a new problem to the council,” Samuels said, rioting representatives of United Organizations for Community • Improvement appeared before the council in 1967 presented similar issues. The two black members of tiie council were quite vehe ment and insisted on prompt action. Councilman C. E. Boulware, asking for a prompt report on the grievances, said, "I askthe council to put some time limit on this thing. I know the city manager will bring us a report, but 1 am concerned about the lack of a sense of urgency.” Council member J. S. Stewart noted, “Some of these griev ances could be answered in five mindies.” Boulware requested a report on “all matters easily acces sible.” He gave as examples complaints that there are no black clerical workers in the ponce department, that black officers are restricted in as signments to certain areas of the city and that black mem bers of the department are passed over when promotions are given. "We are talking about the morale of the police depart ment, not just of black police men,” Boulware said.

The decisive moment came when the firm's board of di rectors was contacted by the blind workers and refused to even answer the workers’ let ter, much less grant them an audience. All avenues of calm negotia tion thus being closed to them, the workers began their picket ing on Tuesday, Oct. 20 during their lunch hour. Speaking at a press confer ence, Katie Nixon, a spokes man for the blind workers re counted the past rebuffs given her and her co -workers. “We have worked,” she ex plained, “with many agencies and individuals including the industry's management and board of directors, the human relations commission, the legal aid attorney, mayor Jack Elam before he was mayor, the state commission of the blind and the United States justice depai-t --ment. ' “Since that time it has be come quite clear that unless Black people act in their own behalf no one else will.” Tne group was joined on the picket line by many communi ty persons and students from Malcolm X Liberation Univer sity, Bennett College and North Carolina A&T State University, as well as organizational rep resentatives from the Greens boro Citizens Association and the Greensboro Association of Poor People. $500,000 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) tion plans to counsel some 250,- 000 students.

The Congressman added that an end to racial discrimination alone will not solve the race problem in the United States. The society must become fully integrated. “Black people can not iive in the general society” on an 8 to 5 basis. Diggs added that it is the, response of the white com munity to our demands which will determine the kinds of leadership which will emerge. He warned that if the path of the status quo is chosen “in cendiary extremists will be encouraged.” Diggs urged the silent Americans to come to grips with the deep rooted grie vances of Blacks. He also commended the pre sent generation of students in this area for their activism. He noted that Bennett College and A&T State University are the cradle for the long strug gle for Black humanitaiianism. Congressman Diggs isalong I^^M^OREST ALTMAN ClßCLE—Sanderford Road.

Actively involved in imple mentation are: Commerce Sec retary, Maurice H. Stans; Treasury Under Setratary, c. E.

He had an uphill bat tle to get the Democratic nomi nation in 1966 and the Durham black vote saved him. The 1968 general election followed the same pattern and it was not until the returns came in from the black precincts of Durham and Raleigh that he was de clared the winner. Even then the matter was not settled for some days, due to the close ness and some rum Wings about a bad count. Galifinankis has made no spe cial effort to win the black vote, but relies upon what he call his “black leadership” to deliver the vote. During the 1968 campaign he was invited to meet wdth a black group and refused, under the pretense that he had talked with certain black lea ders and that he felt that the black vote was safe. It. is also to be remembered that lie is alleged to have said that he had not found a black person whom he felt was capable to hold a job In his Washington office, or in any of his county- A WELCOME TO YOU From RALEIGH’S NEWEST HOLDENS GLamQraMA CLEANING CENTER 1824 OLD GARNER ROAD DRY CLEANERS OPEN: 7 A.

After much prodding, it was re ported that he did hire one Ne gro in his Washington office, when the pressure became heavy. the dopsters say that the black vote could well spank Galifinankis and do two things put fear in the hearts of the Democrat power structure and help to build a two-party sys tem, so badly needed in North Carolina. When one looks at the Wake County ballot the ineptness of the Republican party can be clearly seen. There is not a Republican candidate for a judgeship anywhere in the state. ' V ith 21 county offices up for grabs, there are only 13 Rep ublican candidates entered, no Negroes in either party. In Durham County, for the first time in 14 years, there is not a Negro on the Republican tick et. There is only one Negro on the Democratic ticket. This is a sad commentary on the part of black political leaders, since It has long been brought out that politics is “where the action is.” The spot check showed that Negroes were at work in the eastern part of the state. In Northampton County, Jack Fai son, Seaboard funeral direc tor, was assured a seat on the Board of County Commission ers, having won the Democratic nomination, in the primary and there being no Republican op position. In Hertford County, Earl Lewis, Belk-Tyler execu tive, also won a place on the county board, by the same route. In Robeson County, Rev. George Johnson, pastor, First Baptist Church, Fairmont, will become a member of the State Legisla ture, by virtue of the fact he won the Democratic nomination and has no Republican opposition. "One contest that is being watched in Republican circles, even from Washington, is the one being held in Warren Coun ty. John Hawkins qualified as a candidate, on the Republican ticket, for county commission er and is believed to have a good chance of being elected. He lias waged a consistent cam paign and is believe to have gained many white supporters. He is also chairman of the War ren County Republican Execu tive Committee, which is pre dominantly black. The spot poll was not able to determine what the trend was in western North Carolina, as it affects the black vote. It was learned from a reliable source that Charles R, Jones, Sr., veteran Republican solon, would be returned no matter which way the blank vote went. Many blacks were critical of his voting-record as it ap plied to social legislation. They charged that he had followed the southern-pattern and vot ed against any and all legisla tion favorable to Negroes. It was also learned that the black vote could elect Herbert Howell, In the 3rd District. Earl Ruth, LINCOLN Raleigh. N.

With eyes turned toward Asheville, where Nixon was called in, the black vote is not counted on to do much. There seems to be unrest among the Democrats and Atkinson, the Republican, could squeak through. There are a few days left and candidates on both sides of the fence will be making last-minute overtures. The black vote, even though over whelmingly Democrat, could make itself felt by breaking with four decades of tradition ally Democratic control and carve a niche in the state’s fu ture. * * * The water used by9opercent of the population in the develop ing world is either unsafe or Inadequate, or both.
