Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1966-08-06 J. A. Beauchamp Tennessee Freedom March Ends With Cry For "Black Power" More than 100 Negroes applauded the chiefs of law enforcement bodies who met the column. Noticibly absent in the praise was the name of S. T. TIP Hunter, sheriff of Haywood County where the marchers met a tense reception. The Rev. James E. Smith, a Negro candidate for Tipton County Judges and a march leader, told the foot-sore Negroes "we are going to keep on fighting until hell freezes over, until freedom is ringing from everywhere. "The next time a house is burned or a church is burned, we're coming in like flies and swarm all over the ARSONISTS. God is on our side. But we're going to put something else on our side — and it shoots six times," Smith said. Hardy Fry, a field secretary from the Student Non - Violent Coordinating Committee and a leader of the "black power" chant, said "black power means the Negro has to make his own decisions; it means he can bargain for his rights and he cannot sell his votes for five dollars any more; it means he becomes politically sophicaticated. "It means you vote black. It means you protect yourself," lie said. Another speaker was 72-year-old Arthur Tipton, a Negro World War I disabled veteran, who walked the full distance from Ripely, where the march started. "I lost my health for my country. I'll do this for myself," said Tipton, of Covington in Tipton County. After the rally marchers adjourned to a Negro store for soft. The march took them through Lauderdale, Tipton, Haywood and Fayette counties. Few incidents were recorded during the march, which was held to encourage Negro voter registration and to protest "grievances. SNCC Seeks To Link With Black Muslims "We are going to move to join hands with the honorable Elijah Muhammad Black Muslim leader to see if we can work together," Carmichael said during a taping session for a local television pannel show KUP's show, telecast of the American Broadcasting Company WBKB. He said the meeting between SNCC leaders and Muhammad, wispy leaders of the black nationalist muslim movement, would occur in the "very near future." Muslim sources could not be reached for comment. Muhammad has advocated establishment of a separate Negro nation within the United States and opposes racial integration. Carmichael said. "I am not antiintegration" but said he does not want to see the Negro join the mainstream of U. S. society. "To join the mainstream is to become white," he said. Carmichael said disagreement with the muslims over separatism does not prevent cooperation between SXCC and the Muslims. "We have to have different philosophies in the civil rights movement but all groups have to get together," he said. Carmichael criticized Dr. Martin Luther King, head of the Southern Christian Leadership. Conference SCLC who has spoken out against Carmichael's "black power" concept. "The only trouble with Martin Luther King is that he is not a real revolutionary," Carmichael said. A source close to King, when advised of Carmichael's plan to seek liaison with the muslims, said, "Wait until he finds out that Elijah Muhammad doesn't want civil rights." At a press conference, Carmichael also: Called recent street violence in Negro slums of Chicago. New York and Cleveland "rebellions, not riots." He said "these were not extremist groups or lunatic fringes but oppressed people reacting to the white extremists who have been exploiting the Negro."

Pilcher 415 Scott Street Negro Republican Being Considered For Senate Race Republican leaders in Minnesota are considering the possibility of endorsing Stephen Maxwell, the Negro city attorney of St. Paul, as a candidate this fall against Sen.

Program To Push Credit For Lagging Housing Market Told A program to recruit more credit for the lagging housing market was announced recently by the United States Savings and Loan League following a meeting of the League's Executive Committe and Sub - Committee on Legislative Procedures. The program, announced by C. A. Duncan. Jr., League president, was highlighted by a recommendation that the present $10,000 ceiling on savings accounts insured in savings and loan associations and banks be increased to $25,000. "This increased average would help all insured institutions retain some funds which might otherwise be shifted, to the securities market," said Duncan. "The previous increase from $5,000 to $10,000 provided an immediate and impressive net increase in savings in mortgage institutions. "Early congressional action in this direction may well be the most direct way of funnelling more money into the homo mortgage market than any idea now under consideration." The Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation insures savings accounts in savings and loan associations, while the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures savings in banks. League President Duncan said that reserve ratios of the PSUC have risen sharply in recent years and now stand at their highest level since the agency was established in 1934. "The FSLIC is in the strongest financial position in its history and well able tit provide the increased coverage," said Duncan. In another action, the League suggested that the Federal Home Loan Bank Board 3hould be encouraged to provide savings and loan associations with greater fiexibility in their savings plans and that League officers and staff piepare" appropriate" recommendations for the Board. The League also urged that Federal Home Loan Bank advances to savings and loan associations be restored to "normal" as rapidly as possible. In recent months, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board has imposed restrictions on the mount associations may borrow from the regional Home Loan Banks which serve as reserve credit institutions for savings and loan associations. The League took note that the recent rate war in the sayings market has given rise not Only to proposals for curbs on commercial banks certificates of deposits but also to proposals for controls on savings and loan dividend rates, on a stand - by basis, to be vested in the Federal. Home Loan Bank Board, and added: "While the present price war in the savings market is deplorable, stand - by dividend control is no assurance that the savings rate wa would be ended and it certainly is no answer to the main issue before the Administration and Congress which is how to provide the residential real estate market with a fairer and more, adequate share of available credit. "The League reaffirms, therefore, its traditional position of opposing dividend rate controls over savings and loan associations. We feel that the dividend ceilings would merely augment the recent drop in savings inflows at savings and loan associations and lurcher depress the housing markets. "Furthermore, under current regulations requiring allocations to loss reserves, associations cannot long pay excessive dividend rates without being subjected to dividend rate control by the federal supervisory authorities." Of the recent Federal Reserve action lowering maximum rates on certificates of deposit with multiple maturities, League president Duncan said: "The Federal Reserve action seems to be aimed clearly at placing a 5 per cent ceiling on a good part of the consumer CD business. "We also have the feeling that the attempts of some commercial banks to evade the intent of the Federal Reserve will build support in the Congress to give the Federal Reserve statutory authority to set different rates and terms on different types and size accounts. Of course, we would have no objection to the granting of this new authority to the Federal Reserve." LAUDERDALE COUNTY NEWS Mr. M. G.

School Desegregation Not Affected By Ruling Garland Byrd, a former Georgia lieutenant governor and at present a Democratic candidate for governor, won a decision last Friday that a second board cannot force a Negro gro to transfer to a white school. "The court did not rule on the validity of the guidelines," Howe said. Government attorneys agreed with Byrd that forcible transfers of Negroes might violate the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and they denied that federal guidelnes require it. Byrd's suit against the Taylor County, Ga., school board was tried in federal district court at Columbus, Ga. "The misunderstanding regarding the case apparently arises because the school board asserted that it was required to transfer six Negro children against their will to a white school," Howe said. "The position of the Office of Education is that no fixed number of children must be involved in desegregation," Howe said. "On the other band, if a desegregation, plan is not working, effectively to desegregate a school system we have said that the school officiate would have to take additional steps. "The guidelines spell out several alternative steps that might be taken in this situation." The Department of Health, Education end Welfare issued the guide lines as a yardstick for determining whether school systems qualify to receive federal funds. The Civil Rights Act forbids distributing federal funds to any agency that discrdiminates racially. Howe said his office had received a number of inquiries about the possible effects of the federal court ruling in Georgia. 1 0f 2 Hen Convicted On Stolen Car Charges, Files New Motion The action was taken in federal cour by Joe Salem, lawyer for Morris Finley, a, Negro printer who worked with SCLC.
