Bond urges CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the crowd. “The day after we will be casting our votes to sweep out of office the racist politicians and racist political hustlers who have created the present situation.’* Bond said that black people have many enemies, but greatest among these presently were “Richard Nixon, the used car salesman from California, and Spiro Agnew, the gate-mouthed Maryland Farmer.” Black people must organize “until we are able to politically reach up and grab these two by the necks and pull them down,” Bond said. The march began in Perry, Georgia, where civil rights demonstrations have been continuing for several weeks, and took five days to reach Atlanta. SCLC officials said the march was aimed at “Stopping the Killings” of black people like the deaths at Augusta, Georgia, and Jackson State College in Jackson, Miss., to extend the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and to unseat what Reverend Abernathy called “the ten most unwanted politicians” of 1970. Included the SCLC president’s list were Senators James O. Eastland and John C. Stennis of Mississippi, other Southern legislators, and Mayor Hugh Addonizio of of Newark, New Jersey. Senator McGovern told the audience that “there will be no end to the violence of hunger and division in America until we end the violence that is devouring our blood in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.” Mrs. King told the crowd that stood for nearly five hours in Georgia’s hot, muggy 90 weather that black people were not America’s enemy. “Your enemies are those forces of repression in the nation that will silence all dissent in the nation by all means possible.” Playwright - poet LeRoi Jones told the assembled 10,000 that their energies would be wasted unless they returned to their communities and organized black political power to control the political destinies of black people.

Presbyterians CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 and the Rev. Dr. Kenneth G. Neigh, head of the denomination’s board of national missions would each pledge $4 million of their agencies* funds to open the campaign. An additional $8 million will be added next spring when that amount is subtracted from a Presbyterian goal of $10 million in an annual world relief fund drive Involving the major Protestant denominations. The relief campaign is known as One Great Hour of Sharing. Normally, the Presbyterians contribute $2 million each year. Individual church-goers will be asked to give 2 per cent of their personal income to the fund along with gifts of land, buildings, tools and other equipment. The Chicago assembly of the church also urged local congregations to give 4 per cent of their income to the campaign. The fund will be administered by a National Committee on the Self-Development of . People selected by the moderator, or titular head of the church. The majority of the 30 committee members will be from minority groups. The committee will set standards , receive requests and validate them. Projects will be designed to achieve “maximum direct benefit to disadvantaged people of all racial and ethnic groups.” Late in April, the 11 mil-lion-member United Methodist Church pledged $2 million for 1971 and the same amount in 1972 to its Commission on Religion and Race to be used “in the service of minority people.” The $4 million represents roughly 10 per cent of the church’s budget over the next two years. It will be raised through a reduction of regularly budgeted items such as home and foreign missions, education, health and welfare ministries. Another $4 million will be raised in a special fund campaign Ao strengthen 12 black colleges supported by the church.

Boyd was cut on the face and on the left side of his back. He was taken to Marion County General Hospital in serious condition. However, hospital officials listed his condition as satisfactory on Thursday afternoon. Groves was treated and released at General for the cut on his hand.

The second annual Wes Montgomery Memorial Scholarship awarded by Merchants Nation Bank & Trust Company of this city, this year was granted to Harold E. Penn, 721 W. 26th , student at Crispus Attucks High School. The presentation was made by R. E. Sweeney, Jr., chairman of the directors of the Merchants Bank during the annual Honor Day ceremonies at the high school. Penn ranked seventh in a graduating class of 325 graduates of the school. He has been an honor student throughout his four years in high school and is a member of the National Honor Society. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Napolen Penn. The West Montgomery Scholarship is awarded exclusively to benefit Negro youth of the inner-city who otherwise would not have an opportunity to attend college. Participating high schools included: Crispus Attucks, ArEarl Grant CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 4 at his father’s church. Grant had nearly 50 record albums to his credit and his instrumental version of “Ebbtide” sold in the millions. “Brand New Me*' was the title of his latest album scheduled for release next month. A graduate of the University of Southern California, he had planned to teach music, but later changed his mind and became a performer of national status. Nixon aides CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 der could either file a desegregation plan or expect the Justice Department to file a lawsuite to force desegregation, they said. Since then voluntary plans have been filed by more than 60 of the 200 or so hard-core districts - those that have foregone federal funds rather than integrate, most of them districts with majority black populations. The crucial question was whether the Justice Department would follow through with court suits against the holdouts. If suits are filed against all holdous, then money without under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, would be restored to the districts and they would have to integrate all at once next fall. However, with less than three months remaining before the schools open, there is a question whether the time factor would not bring another delay. In any event, substantial integration can be expected if the officials stick by requirements as they now stand. From 30 to 40-per cent of the black students in the South are in formerly all-white schools. No one is officially estimating what the rate will be next. year, but there is talk that it could be well above 50 per cent. Some administration sources say there could be no doubt a b o u t substantial integration next fall, unless the White House should decide that Mr. Wallace was too much of a threat in the South and order a general rolling b a c k of enforcement efforts. ' Youthful CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 police reports. Meanwhile charges in two other cases were filed against the Days and Isaac. All three face charges of assault with intent to commit murder in the wounding of Milton J. Osborne, age 27 on May 20, bullet wound in the neck. Also they face charges of aggravated assault and armed robbery in the robbery and shooting May 22, of Forest Woorley, age 42, 2955 N. Capitol.

The guidelines recommeno that deadly force should not be used against any suspect unless the arresting officer’s safety or the safety of bystanders is endangered.

Polite officer Pa,ron

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Marjorie Hutchin, said the officer, who was dressed in civillian clothes, threatened to arrest when she went to the scene--a short distance from her home—to find out what had happened. “He told me that he would arrest me If I put my hands on Lyle when I went to investigate,” Mrs. Hutchins complained. She said one of Lyle’s playmates had run to her home and informed her that “the police had Lyle.” The police officer has been identified as Patrolman Walter Vincent, - who is assigned to the police canine corps. He lives in the Ponderosa Mobile Home Park, 3559 Cossell, where the alleged attack occurred. The park is located across the road from the housing project and, according to several residents of the project, there have been a number of incidents involving the white residents of the park and the residents of the housing project. After the incident, the youth was treated at General Hospital and released to the custody of his mother. However, sne was toia tnat ne had been charged with assault and battery with intent to gratify sexual desires and that she would be notified when to bring him to juvenile court. In his statement, the boy said he and a friend, Lamonth Miller, were returning from the grocery and had taken a short cut through the mobile home park. He said they met a white girl on a bicycle and that she had to stop because she couldn’t get pass. According to the boy, he and Lamont moved out of the girl’s way and that he was struck on the leg with a rock. The boy said he thought the girl had thrown the rock and admitted “tapping” her in the stomach. “I’m going to tell my father because he doesn’t like colored people hitting me,” the youngster quoted the girl as saying. Both boys said they were continuing out of the park when a woman stopped them and hollered for a man. “He came out of one of the trailers and grabbed me by the neck and started choking me. He hit me with his fist in my nose and it started bleeding and then started hitting me in the face with his fist before he threw me into a police car which was parked at the curb,” Lyle said. “He drove me to the main office of Ponderosa Mobile Homes and on the way he told me he was a policeman. “At the office he told me to go inside and wash the blood off my face. After I washed, I asked him if I could call my mother but he told me to go out and wait in the police car,” the youngster continued. A Marion County deputy sheriff and a uniformed city policeman then arrived on the scene and Vincent conferred with them the youth related. An ambulance arrrived next and Mrs. Hutchins was allowed to accompany Lyle to the hospital where a sheriff’s deputy took pictures of him and he was examined by a doctor, who asked to remain unidentified. A white woman said the officer shoved the boy into the mobile home office. “His face was bloody and he had blood all over his shirt. I said, My Lord, Walt what happened to him and he (Vincent) held up his fist and told me, Tie ran into this about three times,” “When I asked why he said he had assaulted his daughter,” she continued. “I don’t even know that boy and to me he’s not black or white or green, he’s just a human

Welfare

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 them to “hold it.” “He was staggering around and waving that shotgun back and forth and at the same time he kept cocking and uncocking the hammers,” Sgt. Martin quoted one witness as

saying.

The detective said he was told the man turned and his arm struck awall--triggering the blast. “Most of the blast went into the wall but the victim was standing on the fringe and some of those pellets entered his brain,” the veteran detective remarked. “I’m sure we’re looking for a couple of junkies. From the way the witnesses described thier actions, I’m convinced they were high on narcotics,” After the shooting, the man who fired the shotgun yelled, “Let’s get out of here” to his partner and both men fled vour the rear door. Witnesses said one of them fell in the back yard as they ran. Sgt. Martin said he also was informed that the man who fired the shotgun had been in the club gambling the night before. “Several witnesses also told us that he had been there earlier on the night of the shooting but left and came back with the other man to stage the holdup. A number of other persons were in the club when the shooting occurred but most had *fled by the time police arrived. Patterson was arrested and charged with keeping a dive and violation of the 1935 Beverage Act. Arrested on a charge ol first-dgree murder in connection with the fatal shooting of Fuqua was a woman police identified as Mrs. Margaret, Cooper, 37, of 2745 Baltimore. She was described as the victim’s girlfriend. She told police Fuqua and thrown bricks and had broken the windows in her car during an argument. Mrs. Cooper was arrested at police headquarters shortly after the shooting. During a court appearance Monday, charges against the woman were continued and she was ordered held without bond in the Marion County Jail. Police officials have expressed considerable at the skyrocketing 1970 murder rate which has surpassed that of any six-month period in the city’s history. Birth Report ST.
