Stocky former State Senator Terry Sanford, 42, had led a field of four in the first primary last month by soft-pedaling his own segregationist sympathies, pushing instead an ambitious program of building schools and luring industry. His runoff opponent, Dr. I.

The leaders include Henry's son Reynold and ten U.S. Negroes from Brooklyn, some of them ex-G.I.s. Police deported some of the boys from Brooklyn when they turned up for Henry's back-to-Africa rallies last October. They got in again three weeks ago under assumed names, went underground in the remote Red Hills region seven miles northwest of Kingston, and began breaking out smuggled weapons...
