4 Stabbed in Racial Melee at Fair Here; Four white y o u t h s wer e stabbed dun ng a melee with a " large group of Negroes" at the Southe.astem Fair during the eekend. The figh!ing was only part of inter-racial troubles that began erupting Satur day night. After the fair closed down for the night. Bumper-to-bumper traffic leaving Lakewoorl P ark along Pryor Road SW was bombarded with rocks and bottles hurled ifrom the sidewalks. De.tective L. F . Peaden said e wc:s told by several persons a t the fair that the group of egroes th€re had grabbed at passing white women and m ade vulgar r emarks . He said the four stabbed white youths told him they and their friends and dates were attacked twice by the band of Negroes. Following the knifings police caught one N~gro youth identified as a member of the group. H~ is Ray Stephens, 19, of 7 Troop St. SE , jailed under an assaul t charge. Cut during the melee were James A. Hardy, 20, of 1345 Heatherland Dr ive. Harry R. Glass, 23, of m5 Gillren St. SW, Danny Hoggerup, 20, of 1762 Shirley P!ace SW, and David F . Stewart , 19, of 1935. McAfee St. Northwest. Peaden said he still had the: matter .under investigation. , Capt. R. E . Little said there had been numerous report.s Sat-: urday njght of cars being pep-· pered from sidewalks in Negr o, neighborhoods along P r y o r< Street during the worst of the tr affic trying to leave the park. �Allen Pledges to Help Negroes Get Met Ticl{ets Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen has pledged his support to Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr. in making tickets to· the Metropolitan Opera Company's performances here next spring available to Negroes. Mrs. King, representing the inter - racial Atlanta Committee for Cultural Opportunity, . had sent a lengthy telegram to Mayor Al1en to "call attention to some serious problems concerning the Metropolitan Opera Company's annual season in the · city. " Allen replied by telegram, in which he said he is " thoroughly sympathetic with your desire to provide additional seats at Metropolitan Opera for the Negro citizens of Atlanta. It- is my understanding that the additional 500 to 600 seats in the new auditorium will be distributed · on an absolutely fair and equitable basis and every consideration given to Negro applicants. I will support your position and sincerely hope that it will be completely carried out by the Opera Association." Mrs. King said Negroes were excluded from getting season tickets because white holders renew their seats y e a r after year and there is a long waiting list. "We are determined," she said, "not to submit again to the e x i s ti n g discriminatory practices of that ·association, regardless of where the Metropolitan Opera performs. We are confident that many of the Metr opolitan Opera's artists will join us if necessa ry." ���... ��-JUDGMENT Dlcr is every day •.•.•• Mr .

THIS IS MADDOX COUNTRY. �255 6 7k ��., �7 ����U.S. Signs 85 Negroes As Voters Conslilntion Was hlni,to n Burea u WASHINGTON-Federal registrars sent to oversee Negro voter registration in three Georgia counties Monday listed only 85 persons during their first day of operation, it was reported. A spokesman for the U.S. Civil Service Commission, which administer s the operat ion, said only 84 voters were signed up in Screven County, one in Ter'!ell and none in Lee. By contrast, three Shr eveport, La., registration offices also under their first day of federal supervision Monday showed listings of 4 , 81 ancf 193 voters respectively, the CSC said. Spokesmen here said they supposed the Georgia totals were low because many eligible voters were not yet aware of e opportunities provided through longer registration hour s. The registrars, the first sent to Georgia counties under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, were assigned after the Justice department announced it had received complaints of discrimination. The federal supervisors are stationed in Dawson, Leesburg and Sylvania. No indication has been given as to how long they will remain there. Rec en t voter registration drives conducted by the Soi.;thern r egional council resulted in 49 new voters in Terrell County and another 17'7 in Lee. Daily totals are not made available until the following day. �City Hires 1,501 with 733 Negroes e >f k 1 Gt ·s st e a f The city hired 1,501 persons during the first quarter of 1967. · About half were Negroes. Negro-white employment was · 733-768 fo r al l jobs, the city personnel department said Wednesday. The breakdown of higherthan-menial labor was 168 Negro and 688 whit e persons. The city's work force is now about one-third Negro, Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. said. The personnel report shows 148 white firemen and 45 Negro firemen hired this year. There were 58 white and six Negro policemen hired. Allen said the city ha9 about 20 per cent Negro employes 10 years ago and has continued to increase the ratio. The white-Negro hirings-exclusive of laborers-in 1964 were 1,054-402.

To say the question is relative, which it is, or to propose a general answer, which one cannot, is unsatisfactory to them. They wsnt at least a guess as to when the South is going to organize itself politically like everybody else. The answer may even be never. But if a Southerner were required to risk a generali?:ation, perhaps the most sensible way of getting at it would be this: Southern Republicans will be wise to offer an alternative; they apparently cannot win a mere me-too campaign against the Southern Democrats. Winthrop Rockefeller moved to the left of a conservative Democrat and won Arkansas in 1966. Claude Kirk went to the right of a liberal Democrat and won Florida. Conservative Republicans tried to fight a me-too campaign against conservative.Democrats in Mississip_QJ_, Alabama and Georgia, and lost all three. Georgia almost certain y would have g-one Republican as Arkansas ilid if a Rockefeller-type candidacy had been present to gather in the moderate and Negro vote. All of which brings up the relative aspect of the thing. Party labels don't really mean as much to the future of the Deep South states as do the principles that are in competition. An increase -0f segregationist conservatism in a region already surfeited and stifled with it can hardly be called a political service to the South, whether it is the result of one party factionalism or is sanctified with the shibboleth of "two party system." A way out of the pa:;t, not a thrust backward into it, is the South's need. And the Goldwater Republicanism of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia-and to some extent South Carolina-offered an echo of old Democratic practices instead of the choice of something new. Far from being constructive politically, this right wing challenge merely snuffed out the first glimmerings of moderation among Deep South Democrats and drove them back to the right to defend their old base of racism and reaction. Then which party wil1 risk the first move toward the middle of the road? Again, it is foolish to generalize: Georgia may be almost as different from Alabama as Florida is from Arkansas. Yet it would seem reasonable in Georgia at least for the R publicans to lead the way out of the right hand rut and toward the center. The Democrats would undoubtedly follow them toward that higher battleground, since they wete trying to move there before the Goldwater debacle chased them back to their old base. The state would benefit greatly by the moderating trend. And a moderate Republicanism, being known nationally as the more conservative philosophy anyway, might retain an advantage with genuine conservatives while freeing itself, as well as the Democratic party, from the destructive business of courting segregationists to the exclusion of moderates and Negroes in the South. - - ---- - - .......... .a,:tf.....s.t11 ---~-- P. �IGng Says Picl{eting to Grow Here Atlanta Negroes' boycott and picketing of a shoe store ch'ain "is going to grow" to include other Atlanta retail merchants, Dr. Martin Luther King Sr. predicted Thursday. Dr. King was among pickets marching around in front of the Peachtree store of ThompsonBoland-Lee, a shoe store. With him on the picket line were State Sen. Leroy Johnson and City Alderman Q. V. Williamson. "We believe that stores tl;lat sell to Negroes should use Negro personnel," Dr. King s-aid. " We want some Negro salesmen up • on the S"treet floor here." Oscar Thompson, vice president and manager of the shoe chain, said that his company had 25 Negro employes out of a total employe force of 125. "My b u s i n e s s is selling shoes," Thompson said. "I can't let a bunch of ministers tell me how to s-ell shoes. We have had Negro employes for years, but I'm not about to fire some white employe with 20 or mare ye·ars experience juS"t to hire a Ne,gro salesman." Thompson said that he was sure his percentage of Nem;o employes was higher than any other Atlanta stores. King complained that Negro sales people at the shoe store were "down in the basement" and not on the main sales floor. Thompson s-aid that all personnel in the sales force started "in the basement" and moved up as their experience warranted. �Eugene Patterson MLK: Where The Action Is? WASHINGTON -The liberal Washington Post said Thursday that many who have listened to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with respect in the past "will never again accord him the same confidence. He has diminished his usefulness to· his cause, to his country and to his people. And that is a great tragedy." The Atlanta Negro leader deliberately dumped a hod cf bricks on his own head when he narrowed his base in the civil r ights movement to the confines of the Vietnam " peace movement. " But the civil rights movement as it was practiced nonviolently under Dr. King was in trouble anyway. His demonstrations had won their big battles. The antipoverty progr am he advocated had been hiring the old militant leaders and moving them off the streets and into offices where they were invited to perform instead of protest. · A fringe of " black power" advocates stole the stage. For all their admirable goals of instilling pride of race in the Negro, their technique was a dangerous reverse demogoguery and a ready resort to violence. The riots that ensued were disastrous for the civil rights movement. After each outburst of lawlessness and vandalism, white support dwindled, anti-Negro enmities hardened, and civil rights leaders struggled to minimize the damage with cooling-off periods that broke the momentum of the movement. .. Then as the black power racists began expelling whites, wlio used to make up a big contingent of the nonviolent demonstrations, the war in Vietnam gave these white youngsters somewhere else to go. The same university campuses that supplied manpower and money for the civil rights movement are preoccupied almost exclusively now with the peace-in-Vietnam protests. That's whef'e the action is, all of a sudden, for the white kids who have been told by Stokely Carmichael that the Negro doesn't need them any more. Dr. King must have watched this breaking up of a r ational civil rights movement with deep dismay. Without questioning his obviously deep-felt convictions about e Vietnam, one can see that he is now in position to· salvage at least some of the dissipated following of the civil rights movement, assuming a drastically narrow base is better than no base at all. Yet there is disappointment among many who had hop-ed Dr. King would somehow overcome the obstacles and revitalize a responsible movement within the civil rights arena itself, and not !ollow !he bla~k powe~ hotheads int~ the emotional tangle of foreign policy. This he failed to do. It IS probably right to call it a tragedy. It now seems likely that the less spectacular but harder working old organizations like the NAACP and the Urban Lea~e. wip. have to ta_ke up the burden of new responsibilities if the CIVIi nghts cause 1s to have continuity hereafter. �'ABC STAGE 67' TtlNIGHT .,. J Negro Humor ls Shown In 'A Time for Laughter' At the beginning of "A Time For Laughter," Harry Be1afonte's production for "ABC STAGE 67" Thursday, on Channel 11, host Sidney Poitier says, " There are few things that express the mood of the Negro better than his humor. Unlike his music - jazz - which has been able to break out and move societies of the world, Negro humor has stayed home." f Paul Jones is on vacation. "A Time For Laughter" is an attempt to bring that humor into homes where it has never been seen or heard; to introduce audiences to such classic comedians as Moms Mabley -and Pigmeat Markham, to the kind of Gomedy this show calls " Ghetto Talk;" to the black birth of what became white minstrel shows (" That's ho w 'darkies' was born," Poitier comments ironically), to the outspoken wit and satire of the socio-political commentators of the generation following after Mab'ley and Markham. Producer Belafonte is also performer Belafonte in "A Time For Laugher ," displaying his respect for a vaudeVille tradition that greatly ante-dates him in a time-honored sketch which teams him with Pigmeat Markham and guest star Diahann Carroll. Godfrey Cambridge, actorturne&-eomedian, also turns writer in the production. He is featured with M o m s Mabley and Broadway star Diana Sands in a sketch he wrote, satirizing suburban social climbers of all colors. George Kirby, whose skills at mimicry have made h i m a popufar guest on television variety shows, lays a cast of seven in a g1ietto barber shop, using the sharp edge of wit to outline s e v e n very different types (in two colors) . The ghetto talk moves into two other areas. In a pool hall we find Redd Foxx, long-time favorite on the circuit of night clubs and theaters which play primarily to Negro audiences (and lately a guest on afternoon game shows) utilizing his zest for the language and rhythms of the "fast - talking hippie." In a funeral parlor, young comedian Richard Pryor unsolemn'ly intones a satirical service that - Hke much of humor's spectrum would be equally at home in any color scheme. �L ��..•.

Dear Sir: I believe in our laws and obide by them, but for the life of me, I cant understand why the black race is not included in these lam. Were these laws made for the mli te race to obide by onl.y? Evidently they were, because you and the Chief of poilce certainly ofter nothing but excuses for not doing something to stop this destruction and danger to the citizens of Atlanta.. Who is going to payfor this damage to properity? We all know, as well as you and the Chier who is responsible, but nothing is being done tQ make them pay for the damages caused by them. If we had the right people in charge, there would be enough fines and prison centances placed on the responsible ones, that soon they would run out of money to operate on. We may have to wait until the next election to get something done about our laws, and a mayor and chief to inforce them, but it will be done. There is such thing as impeachment, and a mave will be started at an early date to see that this is done, unless you and the chief quit stalling and do something to stop this destruction. It I s a very simple job to do. Just make -ill· our laws apply to all races• Not just the white race. I know that you would never have been elected mayor, if it had not been for the black race. But eaven they have turned against you now. You do not have now, or have ever had white friends. Yes you had few white trash friends. They are lower tan the negro trash. Just look at the mayor before you, who supportedyou. Next to you, he was the nearest nothing any city ever had. You and the chief can do nothing to clear your name with the white man, but you might clear your consious, if you have one. I dont think you have or you would never have doublecrossed the race you were born in to then tumed black. The black race cant tnist you now. How can you expect it of them? Yours truly, Atlantian and White .American. ��r-- - .
