VOLUME 44 No. 38 DURHAM, N C.?SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1967 PRICE: 20c

By THAD GIVENThe City Council voted 7-51

against a motion by Council- |man C. E. Boulware to recon- |sider its annexation of the Ba- |con Street site (or "turnkey" jpublic housing in Monday eve-ning's Council meeting.

In making his motion, Boul-1ware appealed to the Councilto take note of the fact thatpeople living in the area are

united in their strong opposi- Ition to struction of the Bacon IStreet project. "You cannotignore the voice of the peo-

ple", he said.- He also empha-sized the fact that the DurhamNegro Community is not op-

nosed to public housing, butis opposed to the constructionof public housing that willfurther the development of a i"ghetto." "We want one cityin Durham, not two", he said,and "the proposed Bacon Streetproject will result in furtherseparation of the races". Themotion, seconded by JackPreiss, was supported by Boul- Iware, John Stewart, Walter |Biggs, and Mrs. R. O. Everett |

Attorney H. M. Michaux ]opened discussion of the issueby reading a prepared memo-

randum sent last week to Sec-retary Robert C. Weaver of theDepartment of Housing andUrban Development. The mem-orandum, unsigned by any par-ticular group or individual,had been approved by the Dur-ham Committee on Negro Af-fairs at its meeting September

28th . It concluded with what? local newspaper called "apolite but not veiled threat",

to which the Mayor took ex-

ception by remarking: "thisCouncil will not be intimidat-ed by threats."

With the City Council's re-fusal to reconsider the annex-

ation of the Bacon Street pro-ject site, the matter remainsin the hands of the Planning

and Reaming Commission. Fur-ther action by the Council willdepend upon the Commission'srecommendation.

charged that the BAT had

CHICAGO?A drug that may

profoundly affect the U.S. Last Rites for Sgf. UpchurchAt Ebenezer Baptist Saturday

health picture has been founduseful in the treatment of athe-rosclerosis, a major killer andcrippler.

A Duke University research-er said here recently that a

powdered plastic known chem-ically as cholestyramine offersthe possibility, of loweringcholesterol levels.

Atherosclerosis, or harden-ing of the arteries, is a kindof biological rusting of theblood vessels. Its end resultscan be a heart attack, strokeor limb loss by gangrene.

The disease is believed to becaused by a dangerous combi-nation of factors such as highcholesterol or fat level, high

blood pressure, obesity-over-eating, heavy smoking, stressand heredity.

It is in the reduction of cho-lesterol, the fatty materialwhich causes'the clogging of

the blood vessels, that choles-tyramine has been found use-ful. said Dr. Robert Fuson, a

surgery resident at Duke who

has been using the drug suc-cessfully on himself for three

years.He toM the annual meeting

here of the American College

of Surgeons that cholestyra-

mine combines with bile acids

in the intestine and causes

them to be excreted in thestools rather than reabsorbedas usual.

By interfering with the re-absorption process of bile acids,

he said, the body is required

to make additional quantities.

And since the body normally

makes bile acids from choles-terol, the serum cholesterolcan be lowered. The process
