...move over to talk to the chairman of the Illinois delegation, Harold Wilber, a real estate subdivider. Wilber fills me in on the split in the Illinois movement between the American Independent and the American Independence Parties. Both are here together today, however, even though their combined petitions are not enough to get a candidate on the Illinois ballot. Wilber looks forward to a court ruling on a ballot suit brought by Gene McCarthy and hopes the decision will help them too.

Finally, 16 major labor and civic groups resolved that, "Under no circumstances should funds for human social services be reduced...
...campuses now want their own segregated dormitories; the rhetoric of black militants has grown increasingly virulent, as last fall's New York school controversy and the continuing battle at San Francisco State College demonstrate. Moderates are often either embarrassed or afraid to be seen with whites. Dr. Joseph Wilber, a white physician who has brought Atlanta Negroes and whites together in discussion groups, explains that "they're afraid of being labeled as one of the classes of Uncle Toms-the Tom, the Uncle Tom, or the Super Uncle Tom." A Stokely Carmichael or a Rap Brown can talk...
