ance in force exceeding $2.5
billion, play an important part
in the nation's economy by
providing employment for
approximately 15,000 men and

SIOO million into black hands
every year through benefits,

they are contributing more
than a proportionate share to

loans to improve ghetto condi
tions.

Solidarity.
If you have not already
decided, make up your mind
tonight that Black Durham can
depend upon your $50.00
towards your Survival and
Future growth of UOCI. I
believe that $50.00 will be one
of the Best Investments in
Human Dignity You Have Ever
Made in Your life. Personally,
I see an increasing role for
UOCI. We will never have
enough money to Resolve Our
Fate, But let us not be Guilty
of doing nothing; Do Some
thing, if not the Best, we can
with our means, Certainly let
our names be recorded to keep
the Heart Beets of UOCI Aliw.
If $50.00 is a true Sacrifice, let
it Be; Give It and Feel It.
I Make No Apology For My
Enthusiasm for UOCL Take
Away Everything But You On
not Take Away My Faith In Its
Future Needs.

it is your duty to contribute

"An award doesn't mean

McKissick said education
can "separate black people

He urged the students to

Vietnam
'Point' Plan
Is Defend
DAU TIENG, Vietnam
A competitive program in
volving the deduction of
"points" from units losing men
in combat has been strongly
defended by the U.S. battalion
commander who originated it.
Lt. Col. James T. Bradley
said he started the program to
prevent needless casualties
among his men, some of whom
"just weren't being alert."
But the 40-year-old Korean
War veteran said he dropped
the point deduction aspect of
his program after learning his
men were opposed to it.
Three weeks ago, Bradley
started a competition in which
the winning rifle platoon would
get three duty-free days in a
rest center and the winning
weapons platoon two days.
Under the program, points
were awarded to platoons for
enemy troops killed, weapons
captured and rice caches dis
covered. Points were deducted
from platoons suffering battle
casualties.
The last part of the program
touched off an angry letter from
one of Bradley's infantrymen.
"The morale is low enough
without a stupid contest that
only shows us what little is
thought of what we're already
doing ..he wrote home. "We
don't need to be playing games
in a combat zone ... This con
test has shown us what pawns
we are. "I wouldn't like to think
that because one of my buddies
gets killed it only means we lose
points."
Bradley, who for three l
months has commanded the!
25th Infantry Divisions Ist Bat
talion, 27th Infantry, said those
who felt that way missed what
he wanted to emphasize—stay
alert and live.
Insurance Firms Giants
In Black Capit
CHICAGO While politi
cians kick around the pros
and cons of expanding Black
Capitalism in the ghetto (and
fail even to agree on what the
term means), Ebony maga
zine for May takes aa analytic
look at the Black Capitalism
that already exists.
Conclusion: the giants of
black capitalism are 46 black,
insurance companies and
for good and simple reason.
EVE® since the black in
insurance business began in
1787 with the founding of .the
Free African Society, the dia
interest of white companies in
insuring Negroes caused the
blacks' own mutual aid and
benevolent societies to mul
tiply and grow, from peril
fraught beginnings. Ebony
tells the fascinating story of
the birth of North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Co. of
Durham. It was born in the
back room of a barber shop.

What happened when "he died
not long afterward, aa Ebony
tells it, makes wryly humor
ous reading today, but cer
tainly it wasn't very funny
then.
FROM such earthly, humble
origins came old-line reserve
companies. Seq ue l to the
above story is that North Caro
lina Mutual today is the head
giant among black firms and a
S9B-million company, followed
by $72.5-million Atlanta Life
and $36.2-million Supreme Life
Insurance Co. of Chicago.
But, big as the black insur
ance industry looms in the
black economy, with total as
sets of some $431.3 million, all
the black companies' combin
ed share of the total life insur
ance market is less than one
fourth of one per cent.
