Yale is in sole possession Of

Roxboro, March 18.-Sen. w.
Kerr Scott told a Negro gathering
here today that President Eisen-
hower's civil rights program would
pave the way for "the legal lynch
ing of some of our most cherished
rights.
Scott said, Regardless of the
intentions Of the authors, the pres
emit civil rights bills would back
fire and do the opposite Of what
they are intended to do.
The Tar Heel Senator was the
main speaker as Person County
Negroes received the first-place
award in the annual Rural Prog
ress Campaign sponsored by the
Progressive Farmer magazine and
A q T College in Greensboro.
Calling the Presidents civil
rights proposals "a sword that
cuts many ways, "Scott said the
bills would give the Attorney Cen
eral the power to bypass such basic
rights as trial by jury, facing
ones accusers in open court and
Indictment by a grand jury.
Praising both whites and Neg
roes in Person County for close
cooperation, he said the Rural
Progress Campaign sis a living
example of my attitude on how

Scott said:
"There have been some regret
table incidents in the South in the
past two years, but we have beer
fortunate here in North Carolina
We have avoided outbreaks of vio-
lence in spite of the fact that our
relations have been strained. Fire
crackers have been popping around
us, but so far none have gone off
under us.
Somehow, we have got to show
the radicals-and there are radi-
Gals in both races-that setting
off bigger and louder firecrackers
is no way of preventing explo-
sionS.
sIt is a difficult job, but we
have to make, efforts to re-estab-
fish the lines of communications
we once had between the races in
North Carolina and cement the
