At Stockton conference<br />
Abernathy urges 'militant non-violence 9<br />
By TIM FAHERTY<br />
The problems <strong>of</strong> blacks and<br />
poor people in the north are<br />
"much more severe" than they<br />
. were in the south at the height<br />
<strong>of</strong> the civil rights movement,<br />
according to noted civil rights<br />
leader Reverend Ralph David<br />
Abernathy.<br />
Abernathy, who led many<br />
peaceful demonstrations along<br />
with Dr. Martin Luther King in<br />
the '60s and who succeeded<br />
King as president <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Southern Christian Leadership<br />
Conference, was speaking at<br />
Stockton State College,<br />
Tuesday, as part <strong>of</strong> the colleges<br />
distinguished lecture series.<br />
At a press conference<br />
Tuesday afternoon, prior to a<br />
lecture that evening,' Abernathy<br />
described how the focus<br />
<strong>of</strong> the civil rights movement<br />
has changed. He said the<br />
movement is now concerned<br />
with the problems facing poor<br />
people, "the majority <strong>of</strong> whom<br />
are in the white community."<br />
The greatest problem facing<br />
this "new thrust" is unemployment,<br />
Abernathy said. In<br />
the husky, eloquent voice that<br />
brought him to the forefront <strong>of</strong><br />
civil rights activity, Abernathy<br />
spoke <strong>of</strong> "bread and butter<br />
issues," and said the<br />
movements goal must be<br />
"adequate income for all<br />

"There is a great need for a<br />
national health insurance<br />
plan," he said.<br />
Abernathy advocates "a<br />
more militant non-violence,"<br />
and said blacks and poor whites<br />
must "take to the streets" once<br />
again to "put their bodies on the<br />
line."<br />
He said the movement has to<br />
be non-violent because "we do<br />
not have the masses <strong>of</strong> the<br />
people behind us," and no<br />
outbreak <strong>of</strong> violence in this<br />
country could last "more than<br />
three days."<br />
He said he believes, as King<br />
did, that non-violence is "the<br />
most potent weapon available."<br />
Looking back at the sixties,<br />
Abernathy said he regrets that<br />
so much emphasis was placed<br />
on political issues, and none on<br />
economic issues. "It never<br />
should have gone in that<br />
direction only."<br />
But, he said, it is time for<br />
people to put aside their<br />
apathy, and for "youths to<br />
realize the future is theirs.<br />
"There Is too much silence on<br />
college campuses," he said.<br />
"Where are the songs?"<br />
He said the civil rights<br />
movement ended when "black<br />
people fell for tokenism,".and<br />
their leaders were "bought<br />
<strong>of</strong>f.v<br />
Speaking <strong>of</strong> the apathy that<br />
now seems to have hold <strong>of</strong><br />
youth, Abernathy said, "I was<br />
in Jail 42 times, andmy son isn't<br />
even registered to vote."<br />
The Reverend<br />
Ralph David Abernathy<br />
Abernathy, who recently<br />
testified before the senate<br />
committee investigating the<br />
assassination <strong>of</strong> King, said, "I<br />
don't think the truth will ever<br />
be known.<br />
"I believe very firmly there<br />
was a conspiracy," he said.<br />
Although he believes the<br />
committee proved "James<br />
Earl Ray was the trigger<br />
man," Abernathy said<br />
"someone very high up in this<br />
country" killed King because <strong>of</strong><br />
his opposition to the war in<br />
Vietnam and his movement to<br />
attack problems in the north,<br />
looking far "a more equal<br />
distribution <strong>of</strong> wealth."<br />
Abernathy is going this week<br />
to meet with Ray to see what<br />
steps can be taken to get him a<br />
new trial. "Somebody gave him<br />
money," he said.<br />

was a great reaction.<br />
She was greeted by two hours<br />
<strong>of</strong> applause at the annual<br />
Boardwalk Parade last<br />
Tuesday, always a highlight for<br />
any Miss New Jersey but<br />
especially for the first Atlantic<br />
<strong>City</strong> area woman to win that<br />
title in more than 30 years.<br />
Each preliminary night in<br />
Atlantic <strong>City</strong>'s gigantic Convention<br />
Hall, Bert Parks<br />
received an equally gigantic<br />
ovation when he presented Miss<br />
New Jersey to the 23,000 people<br />
who attended the three nights.<br />
Laurie was interviewed by<br />
the panel <strong>of</strong> Judges on Wednesday<br />
afternoon ("My mind<br />
went blank when they asked me<br />
to name New Jersey's two<br />
Senators," she said, "but<br />
otherwise it was a pretty good<br />
interview.") <strong>On</strong> Wednesday<br />
evening she competed in<br />
evening gown, telling the huge<br />
audience shewas "froma shore<br />
community called <strong>Ocean</strong> <strong>City</strong>"<br />
during her 15-second welcome.<br />
Thursday was Laurie's<br />
toughest night. She presented<br />
her new talent, a comedy dance<br />
to "Money, Money" from<br />
"Cabaret" that was developed<br />
heavily around facial expressions.<br />
It replaced her<br />
"Artful Dodger" skit from<br />
"Oliver" which failed to<br />
receive copyright approval for<br />
network TV.<br />
"While I was out there I kept<br />
saying to myself, 'what are you<br />
doing out here dancing'," she<br />
said after Thursday night's<br />
performance. "I worked hard<br />
for five weeksbut I never really<br />
felt truly comfortable with that<br />
number."<br />
Carolyn Cline <strong>of</strong> Florida, who<br />
sang "Love Story" while accompanying<br />
herself on the<br />
piano, shared the talent award<br />
that night with rlwwiffll pianist<br />
Guylyn Remmenga <strong>of</strong><br />
Nebraska.<br />
<strong>On</strong> Friday night it was<br />
swimsuit competition. Laurie<br />
wore a solid, light-blue suit. The<br />
winner in her group was Miss<br />
Delaware, Janice Albro.<br />
"I was relieved, but tired,<br />
after Friday night's competition<br />
ended," she said. "It<br />
was all over, there was nothing<br />
more we could do. I didn't feel I<br />
had a very good chance <strong>of</strong><br />
making the top 10 among that<br />
tremendous competition. •<br />
Saturday night Laurie made<br />
an early appearance on the<br />
NBC-TV show and was seen<br />
again a few times near the end.<br />
What about the new Miss<br />
America? "She is a very nice<br />
person. I think people who meet<br />
her this year will like her very<br />
much." Laurie and Miss<br />
Homemakers<br />
set new director<br />
Mrs. Gwen Campbell, newly<br />
elected director <strong>of</strong> the Visiting<br />
Homemakers, was introduced<br />
at the monthly meeting <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Board <strong>of</strong> Directors Monday<br />
afternoon at Port-O-Call.<br />
Plans were announced for the<br />
annual Dessert Card Party to<br />
be held Wednesday, October 18<br />
from 1 to 4 p.m. on the Music<br />
Pier. There will be table and<br />

An open in-service meeting<br />
will be held October 17 at 8 p.m.<br />
in the Youth Center. The<br />
subject, Heart Attack, will be<br />
presented by Dr. Robert<br />

and Mrs. Kay Green. This<br />
meeting and discussion is open<br />
