r ♦ For Stand On Soul City atanJarl Ob,, Lawyers Assail Helms ^ Senator Blasted For Words CHAPEL HILL - TheN. C. Association of Black Lawyers, in a court resolution, released here Monday, condemned Sen* ator Jesse Helms, the senior, in that branch of our government, in Washing ton for his continued effort to discredit Flvod McKis* sick and his associates in the developing of Soul City ^ in Warren County. The lawyers also took hard cracks at a Raleigh daily newspaper for the artillery it has orovided to attack the project. The resolution criticized both the paper and the senator, but It also set forth that if there was evidence that something had gone on wrong, in any endeavor carried on by blacks, that it should not be condoned. It recognized the fact that black leaders should not be excused for wrong-doing. Charles E. Daye, president, said the resolution was not intended solely to support McKissick and definitely not to support all black leaders. "If black leaders are engaged in corruption, we don't condone that,” Daye said. But he said the 100-member association believes that "black leaders all over the country, one by one. are getting knocked off or getting attacked. In some instances, these are unfounded attacks." ^ Daye said many black (See ASSAIL HELMS.
