May He Continue To Serve
A man of courage, conviction, ability and desire
to serve the City of Raleigh would, to some degree,
describe Mayor Clarence Everett Lightner.
The above-mentioned assets are sound
ingredients, needed in a man seekine public office
and especially one of such magnitude as mayor of
a citv which is in the stages of growth and change.
His Handling of major and delicate matters, single
him out as a useful personality who should oe
given further opportunity to serve the Raleigh
/||body politics and guide its vested interests in all
municipal matters.
After an exposure of two years as Mayor of
Raleigh, Mr. Lightner’s achievements are
well-known: and. from all indications, he has
served well and efHciently. Usually with such
competency comes reward. A constituency that is
appreciative of a job well done would show its
concern and love for one who has been zealous in
his every endeavor to serve and put position above
self as we believe our ma^or has done, by granting
him further time in office.
Apparently, he believes what he has to offer his
fellow citizens has just begun, and in seeking a
second term, no doubt, shows a burning desire to
finish a task which must be close to his heart.
Raleigh, no doubt, is wise enough to keep Mr.
Lightner in office for another term, allowing him
to use his experience to further the programs
inaugurated under his administration.

specially-called interview at
his home on Delany Drive

at 11 a.m., Raleigh’s Rrst

BOSTON - Although blacks
comprise 20 percent of the
Boston population, their power
is severely limited. In poAUcal,
economic and social aspects,
their pres^ice and participa
tion is barely noticeable.
For instance, only one black
has served on the City Council
and none have ever seved on
the Boston School Committee.
Thomas Atkins, president of
the Boston chapter of the
NAACP, has been the only
black to serve on the City
Council. He served two
two-year terms from 1967 to
1971, then ran for mayor and
lost.
Atkins said that Boston's

Candidacy!
"There was an occasion
when the feasibility of an
action of that kind was
investigated." Bissell said. But
he adoed that he personally
decided not to implement plans
"for various operational rea
sons."
Bissell said that "the
particular operation that was
looked into was aborted for
reasons which did not have
anything to do with events in
the Congo.
"There was a decision within
the agency not to rarrv the
operation beyond the feasibi
lity stage."
The former CIA agent said
he could not identify what kind
of poison was to be used or even
"whether it was lethal or
incapacitating "
He did sav that the planning
effort would have consisted.

WASHINGTON - The Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) has been
found guilty of discriminating
against a black in favor of a
wTiite to head the Philadelphia
district EEOC office.
U.S. District Court Judge
Gerhard A. Gesell, who issued
the ruling, had strong words
for the EEOC - the federal
agency that enforces anti-dis
crimination laws.
The case involved Georsr
Rogers, a Philadelphia black,
and a deputy district director
of the EEOC’s Philadelphia
office. Rogers was one of four
blacks and two whites who
sought to fill a district
director's vacancy in the
Philadelphia region in the
