to " add ’ approximately
$182,642.37 to the income ol
Atlanta Negroes. I
The ministers made it clear
that they do not look upon this j
step as meeting the problems of!
discrimination in hiring and
promotion that face Negroes in'
Atlanta. “Rather,” one minister |
explained, “we see these as
minimal requests. Their fulfill

Operpilon Breadbasket, like
many of the- other selective buy
ing programs across the coun
try, was inspired by the highly
succcssful Philadelphia cam-
l^ign. Since March 1960 when
that program started over 20
tiotnpanies have been affected
and more than 1,000 new while-j
collar jobs for Negro have been
won. I
Ministers .groups in Atlanta,!
Baltimore, Detroit, Atlantic
City, Boston, Providence, New'
Haven. Chattanooga and Wil
mington, Del. have all started
selective consumer campaigns in
recco^ nxonths.
A cqmntwn feature of selective
pafrortage campaigns are the
three phases used ifl implementa
tion.
During the first phase, after
explaining .the employment situ-!
ation. minuu'^ters urge Jheir
parishoners to start selective
buying tactics against t])e 'com-,
panics.
The Kcond phase involves
wider community participation.

The third and final phase in
volves the use of hand-outs and
other publkity devices. It is at
this point that the maximum
cooperation of the Negro com
munity is reached.
Herman Taylor
Forfeits Fine;
jerving Jail Term
RALEIGH — A noted civil
rights lawyer here is in prison
on incomc-tax charges, wliich he
denies.
Probation was revoked for
Herman Taylor when he failed to
pay a $20,000 fine in a 30 day
period allowed him to do so. A
Federal Court in Greensboro
ordered him into custody for
transfer to a Federal prison, and
he faces a two year sentence.
Len Holt, civil rights attorrey
in Norfolk, Va,, who represents
Taylor, said:
“It has been my belief from
the beginning of this case that
the prosecution of Herman
Taylor, initiated by Southern
agents of the Internal Revenue
Department, can only be explain
ed by his militant defense of the
rights of Negroes in North Car
olipa.”
Taylor has been in tlie civil
rights movement sinpe the be
ginning of his legal career, work
ing fir.st in the office of the
NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He
.then taught law at North Caro
lina College at Durham before
coming t'o Raleigh. Sirtce lO.'SZ.
he has handled many of the ma
jor civil rights cases in . tlii?
state.
In 1981. Internal Revenue
fjgents accused him of late filing
of returns and fraudulant re
porting of income in the period
from lO.'i.l to 1956.
He pled guilty to the late-filing
charge but denied the fraud. He
was, convicted, senf/onccd lo two
years in prison and ordercrt to
t>ay a $20,000 fine a,nd $32,000 in
back taxes.
■ He appealod and the Fourth
Circuit Coiirt of Ajjpeals cut the
liability for back taxes to $6,00(1.
let his sentence stand, but grant
ed probation on condition of
payment of the fine within 30
days of a final court order. The
17. S. Supreme Court refused to
review the case. '
Taylor is a former law partner
of Samuel Mitchell here. To
gether they filed the original
suit attacking school segregation
in Raleigh. They also handled
the Raleigh sit-in cases and won
the first legal victory of the
sit-in campaign when one of
to;se cases was won at the State
SUi»ridir , lorel; '.T~ ! . y
ijThey alsb attacked North' tail-
oUna’s iui^ of litsracy laws to
deny wting rights to Negroes in
several key cases, Tiiey repre
sented Dr. A. E. Perry, Monroe,
civil rights leader charged with
performing an abortion and made
a major attack on jury discrimina
tion in that case.
In the 1950’s they were re
sponsible for a widespread
campaign of prison reform in
North Carolina when they won
a suit growing out of the death
of a young Negro girl in a North
Carolina prison, in which it was
charged that the girl died from
gagging used as punishment.
Mitchell has also been charged
with income tax violations, and
his case is still pending.
Attorney Holt said it was
completely impossible for
Taylor to pay the $20,000 fi.ne
the court ordered.
“Because of the attacks on
him, his business has fallen off
drastically,” Holt said, “When
the threat of a jail sentence
hangs over a lawyer, many
people arc naturally reluctant
to bring a case to him. Also, he
has felt duty-bound to refuse
certain cases in this period be
cause he himself knew that he
might not be free to sec them
through to conclusion.”
Holt said tl>ere would be
further legal action in an at
tempt to free Taylor.
(triet. The e«tte» leetioa held

schools at the Caswell County

Jones indicated that the as
sociation Is working toward tiie
establishment of an All-state
Band this year, auditioning for
which will bo done at various
district clinics. The purpose of
such a band, he said is to enable
top students in the stale to
get the experience of playing
together, thereby realizing wiiat
can be accomplished by a l>and
which is unhampered by read
ing problems.
“This will give students an
I Incentive to Improve themselves
I and encourage their fellow band
I members at home to do the
] same. The All-state Band will al
so help them to form friendships
I and to respect each other’s
abilities and accomplishments,”
he said.
