tory of Music. He has toured with
"Porgy and Bess" and with the De
Paur Infantry Chorus, and has ap-
peared as soloist with oratorio So
cieties in Canada and this country.
He made it clear from the open
ing phase of his first qualification
of a singer, voice. His is fine,
resonant, brilliant and well-con-
trolled instrument of good range
and unusual power.
In addition Mr.. Williams showed
himself an artist of taste and dis
elimination, who has obviously
studied hard under good teachers.
He was able to give fine account
of himself in such diverse styles as
Handel arias, songs of Schubert
and Brahms, Verdi, Telemann and
contemporary works in English.
In recital that was of high dis
tinction throughout, Mr.. Williams
singing of Handel deserves special
praise. He performs the long HAN
delian roulades effortlessly, bril-
liantly and without losing the music
in the fuxuriant jungle of sixteen
notes. Especially stirring was his
delivery of "But Who May Abide"
from "The Messiah" The Handel
group also offered LA passione"
and Isl, ira iceppi" from "Bere-
nice"
A captious listener might have
found flaws, such as Mr.. Williams
occasional failure to distinguish be-
tween German "den" and "denn'
and his stressing the unaccented
syllables of that formidable langu-
age. Such details, however seem
unimportant beside the fact which
the recital as whole made clear,
that Mr.. Williams is an important
new singing talent.
Charles Wordsworth was the &C
companist.

Dawson had this to say about the
turn Of events:
"The war situation won some Ne
gro votes for Eisenhower. The
women especially felt the war
danger keenly, and decided to vote
for the President.
"The decline of Negro votes for
Stevens was logical, and did not
represent any disenchantment over
civil rights.
"And in Chicago the Republi-
cans spent more money than they
have ever spent before among the
Negroes"
Rep. Powell had this to say about
the trend:
NEGRO voters by the droves
have temporarily deserted the
Democratic party to vote for Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
"This does not necessarily mean
shift to the Republican party. 1t
should serve as warning to
Democratic bosses that no one con-
trolls the Negro vote.
"The Democratic party must rid
itself of it's fascist elements head
ed by Eastland of Mississippi, Tai
madge of Georgia and Ellender of
Louisiana.
president Eisenhower promised
little but actually done more than
any other president in the field of
civil rights"

At weeks end, the boycott had

few Of the whites realize that if
they can be smeared and shut up
on the school issue they can be
silenced on other issues as we'll.
The speaker declared that the
White Citizens Councils and SINH
lar organizations had "many more
irons in the fire than the anti
Negro one" and suggested that
they were interested also in con-
troll of voting rights of Negroes
and poor whites, in barring or cur
failing labor unions, in foreign
policy and in the oil industry.
Southern white people, as has
been done so often, are being
brainwashed with the Negro ISSUE"
he said. "The Negro is being pic

reality he is only the straw man."

ganda thus far his failed to fright

reported new attacks directed at

Following various other maneuv-

declared illegal, the government
recently remedied the situation by
appointing sufficient additional

From Tabor City comes story
which might come from any other
Eastern North Carolina county about
what is going to happen to the tenants
if fewer people are needed to grow
less tobacco
That question is poised particularly
with regard to the tobacco cut this
year, II or 20 per cent. 1t is Il question
which might apply with greater force
to what would happen to the tenants
next year If the necessity of 40 per
cent cut then followed an Inadequate
II per cent one this year. But what
ever may be the tobacco cut this wear.
next year or the next, the question
before us Is not merely what is going
to happen to Eastern North Carolina.
The sad fact is that there is nothing
new about the precarious place of
the tenant on the land in Eastern
North Carolina. In the years behind
us OF greatest tobacco prosperity the
one most significant item in the eco
nomlc life of Eastern North Carolina
mas been the increasing stream of

Should the action fail to material
lze, there will be no question as to
whether or not agriculture communi-
ties are on suicidal path.
1t isn't a problem to be borne bv
