The opposition was led by the
whites on the board, spearheaded
by the late Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt and Mrs. Agnes Meyer Of the
Washington Post.
In a crucifixion statement, the
Harlem Congressman added: The
failure of the Negro to control his
national organizations is due to
the fact that he must include
whites in order to raise the funds
necessary to pay staff. And the
whites sit on the boards to show
how liberal they are, while at
the same time they keep watch
over the policy activity Of the
organization.
You cannot expect anything
more than token progress" walled
Powell, when the very same
people whom you are pressing sit
in the highest executive councils
of the national organizations"
Realizing he was close to es-
pousing the Black Muslin cause,
Powell explained:
II do not agree with the Black
Muslin Movement, but I do agree
to a great extent with its analysis
of the predicament of the Afro
American in the United States in
relation to his organizations. (He
added that Malcolm x, the New
York Muslin leader, was his good
friend).
Whites then got this reprieve.
II do not have blanket condem-
nation of the white man, for I
realize that there are many who
have been martyrs in the past
and a few, mainly youths, are
now working with our passive
resistance organizations.
II would welcome the support
at all times Of all white people
but not at the policy making leveI
nor in administrative posts"
Powell admitted that what he
was saying might sound like black
nationalism, and that if it was, he
did not intend for it to be.
Negroes in the audience knew
that most of what Powell preached
was true and they responded with
thunderous applause. He was alb.
solutely spellbinding when he told
them that whites in New York
were afraid of a combination OF
Negroes and Puerto Ricans, under
his leadership.
And if this was a threat, said
Powell, when he beat the New
York machine in 1858, it was even
more of threat today, he warned
Calling upon Negro fraternal
and social groups to stop "frit-
tering away our future and to
face adequately the thousand to-
morrows'," he said I'VE must re-
examine our national picture and
utilize for the intermin period only
those organizations and those
leaders who are totally dependent
upon the Negro mass.
II do not mean," he added, "that
we must turn our back on the 80
called" national organizations, but
do mean that we must make up
our mind to sieze the complete
control of them from top to bot

Called Headline Hunter

cried as unfortunate the criticism
voiced by Powell.
"At a time when the whole world
is crying for and working toward
unity" he said, "it comes as ter
rible shock to hear the voice of a
person of Congressman PowelPs
national stature, sowing the seeds
of racial discord"
In Durham, NC, Rev. Ralph
Abernathy, Of Atlanta, secretary
treasurer of the Southern Christ
ian Leadership Conference took
issue with Powell when interview
ed by VIVID News Director Jack
Williams.
He said: "At this point dis
agree with him whOleheartedly
because 1 am not concerned
and he must not be - and none
of us who believe in social JUS
tice must be-with any particu-
lar race.
I'VE are fighting for the rights
of all people, and white people
would not be free until black
people are free, and black people
would not be free until white
people are free. Therefore, we
need both whites and Negroes
working together for freedom In
the struggle" he said.
In Chicago, Rev. Wilbur Nath.
aniel Daniel, president of the Chi.
cago NAACP branch, the nations
largest, said: Powell is looking
for headlines. He likes to be II
the Hmelight and likes to stir uE
people so that they are always
talking about him. He is a head
line-seeker.
Rev. Daniel added: II thinl
white people have as much respon'
sibility in the civil rights fight a.
Negroes. After all, it was white
people who caused the dilemma
And, if a white person wants tt
contribute to the NAACP to ease
his conscience, let him do so."
Jackie Robinson, who Is al
ways vocal on issues concerning
Negroes also took a stab at
Powell, linking his attack on the
NAACP with POwells congress
si0nal troubles.
Said he: II can only conclude,
Adam, that this latest tantrum
of yours stems from the fact
that you are infuriated because
Roy Wilkins and the board of
the NAACP did not rush to your
defense in your recent battle
with your fellow congressman.
You set up the usual cry-baby
yell that you were being perse-
cuted because you are a black mar
when it was pretty obvious thai
you had had placed yourself in 6
vulnerable position :"
Powell, however, quickly re-
sponded by attacking Robinson's
claims of leadership:
%. I represent Negroes and
have all my life. Robinson has
never been elected by Negroes and
has never sought to be elected by
them and has never earned a penny
from Negro support"

ing cab pulled up. was ushered in.
Where to, Sir?"
ITO town."
What place."
None in particular, just let me
out at the beginning Of town. I
want to do a lot of walking"
The drive to town gave me a
foretaste of what was coming -
traffic lights at most Of the busy
intersections, white-helmeted po-
lice with white coats, like those in
Rome, mounted on stolls at other
crossings - directing traffic.
Modern homes lined the high
way along which left-handed
traffic - following the English
custom - was moving. You keep
to the left side Of the road in
stead of the right.
But what arrested my attention
was the tremendous building ac-
tiWty going on - bulldozers,
cranes, earth moving machines,
bricklayers, carpenters, electrici-
ans, were surely having a go" at
it. Laborers were grooming the
grass strip dividing the highway.
Others were tending the flower
beds, still others were cleaning up
the litter.
We crested a rise in the road on
the outskirts of town just long
enough to get birds eye view of
the city breathtaking view.
Buildings six,. eight and 10 stories
high, modern in every respect, con-
structed of marble and glass, glis-
tened in the sun. Where have I
seen anything like it in the parts
of Africa I had been? Line them
up against many a skyscraper in
the U.S.A. and, except for their
height, you could mistake one for
the other.
Traffic slowed us down to a
point where I thought I would
make better time walking. The
cab driver made up my mind for
me.
Were entering town now" I
got out and started afoot. where's
the fire?", I asked myself. I'd
never seen people move that fast
before in Africa.
There was no fire. They were
moving In both directions. You
begin to observe them more
closely. They had a proud look
on their faces, an erect carriage,
nothing sloppy about their walk
ing and all seemed to have a
sense of mission In their actions.
The further into town got the
more crowded the sidewalks be-
came. Traffic along the main
thoroughfare, Kwame Nkrumah
Avenue, was almost as bad as
that on Michigan Avenue in Chi
cago. All races were intermingled,
all nationalities. Especially color
full were the native costumes, all
of which were clean.
One could not help feel the
throbbing pulse Of the city, q
veritable beehive of activity and
drive literally bursting at the
seams.

4,2OO Strike
AT Six Plants
OF Boeing Co.
pHTIAnET.pHTA

PHILADELPHIA (AP). -
About 1920 members of a
United Auto Workers local
struck six Vertol Division
plants of the Boeing Co. today,
although another union has
called off Nationwide strike
against the parent firm.
PicketS representing Auto
Workers Local 1869 were sent
to Vertol plants in Philadel-
phia. Morton, Eddystone, Es-
sington, Chester and Ardmore.
The labor group is seeking a
union shop and pay increases.
The strike here was called
at midnight although the In
ternational Association of Ma
chinists called off its planned
walkout against Boeing when
tentative contract agreement
was reached yesterday with
Boeing.
Talks were broken off after
the pickets were sent to the
Vertol plants, where helicopters
are made.
