Governor Of
State Speaks
To N.C.Solons
Political observers, who
know the value of the black
vote to perserve the
Democratic dynasty in the
state, were aghast here
Tuesday, when so many
blacks appeared at the
hearing on a bill to take the
power of election boar(i
appointments from Gover
nor Jim Holshousr and vest
it in the Democratic
controlled legislature.
There were maps on the walls
borrowed from the City Plan
ning Commission containing
plans 5 (Pie Plan). 6 and 7 and
an overhead projector to show
the plans as they were
discussed while comparing
various plans.
The business section began
with (he reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting by
secretary George Spaulding.
Mr. William Knight, temporary
chairman of the Political Action
Committee of RCA, asked
secretary Jeannette Hicks to
read the minutes of that
committee. The recommends
tions of this committee included
among other items that as far
as possible a plan of districting
which kept together black
precincts would be acceptable.
Since plan 5 (Pie Plan) seemed
to fit this concept, RCA
accepted this recommendation.
Discussion followed as other
plans were projected on the
maps. Finally precinct 17 was
added to the Pie Plan which
would now include precincts 34.
35.20,22.25.26 and 17. This plan
was to be presented as the RCA
Plan at the City Council hearing
meeting March 19.
A committee - Mrs. Elizabeth
Cofield. Mrs. Cliffomia Wim
berly and Mr. bpurglon Came
ron • was appointed to write a
letter submitting the name of
Mr. William Knight to fill the
vacancy on the City Council,
Mr. Knight is a former staff
member of RCA.
