2 —THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1988 The Confusing Elements of the ABM System Debate over development and de ployment of the Safeguard anti-bal listic-missile system that has been proposed to guard the nation against surprise nuclear attack contains so many confusing elements that the av erage person can hardly be blamed if he is a bit bewildered. Experts on both sides present convincing argu ments. A further confusing factor has been the shadow cast over the ABM by the politically-trained, military industrial complex issue. An important contribution to a better understanding of the Safe guard ABM and the over-all question of the military-industrial complex has come from former Secretary of State Dean Acheson, who after a life time of public service, much of it de voted to the practiced side of negoti ating with communist nations, has no illusions al>out the kind of world in which we live On the matter of the so-called military-instrustrial complex, his views are most em phatic To him, it is just another one of the witch-hunts that have pe riodically distracted the people of the U. S. In his opinion, talk about the menace of the military-industrial complex" ... is surely the strangest witch-hunt of all." He points out that in 1940, . . President Franklin Roosevelt re ferred proudly to our munitions in dustry as the 'arsenal of democra cy," and observes, "I simply cannot imagine how anybody could take seriously the thought that the great soldiers who have so bravely and skillfully defended our country would be ... in a conspiracy to waste the resources of the U. S. , . . Intensified rigor in congressional re view of defense appropriations may well be appropriate now. What I wish to warn against—and I do so with all the emphasis at my command—is any effort to use the attendant issues as an excuse for tampering with de fense and foreign policies which rise from external necessities and are Income Tax Illegal? Anyone who has been around for a few are may recall Miss Vivien Kellems, the Connecticut industrial ist, who for years has carried on a long battle against the inequities of the national income tax. By and large, it has been a losing battle. But un daunted at 72 years of age, she is again standing up for her convictions and her rights. She is fighting for the return of more than $73,000 which she feels is due her as a re sult of taxes collected illegally from her because she has no husband. Says Miss Kellems, "There is no law that says single people must pay at a higher rate than married peo FACTS A y M u WUMY that wove Britain Out Of the suoam in ibßs under ■QF]I their great leader the mahdj ■ THEV REMAINED WEE FOR 11 YEARS.

On the question of deploying the Safeguard anti-ballistic-missile sys tem, Dean Acheson's views are equal ly strong. He says, "We live in a far more dangerous world than did our fathers and grandfathers. When we were unprepared in 1917 and in 1941, we had very strong allies and the width of the Atlantic Ocean to shield us from the consequences of our folly. This is no longer true. To build an ABM system is a course with a pos sibility of great gains and only small losses To refrain could bring a rela tively small saving at best, and ca tastrophe at worst." Mr. Acheson's unequivocal views on what he feels to be the irrelevant witch hunt for a military-industrial complex, a. well as his equally strong support of an ABM defense, stems from a deep understanding of the communist concept of "negotiation." On this, he observes, "The Russians look upon negotiation as a variety of war. ... So the Russians don't en gage in give and take at the bargain ing table. ... A Russians diplomat, like a soldier already committed to battle is only interested in the cal culation of opposing forces." As to the effect of Safeguard on coming arms limitation talks with the Rus sians, Mr. Acheson says," ... if we go ahead with the ABM program, it won't make these negotiations any more difficult. They are just as diffi cult as they can be to start with. The Russians. . . . will probe to see if they can find an American weak ness, but we need not worry about that as long as we take care that there are no American weaknesses for them to exploit." Mr. Acheson's observation on the so-called military-industrial complex issue, as well as his opinions on the ABM, based as they are on a clear understanding of communism derived from his years of "negotiating" with communists, reveal the life and death seriousness of current discussions. ple. never has, nor does it such a thp Su preme Court would have to declare it unconstitutional. If you can tax me because I am single, you tax me because my eyes are gray, my hair is white, or I am 72 years old. I have no more control over these conditions than I have over my marital status. How many eligible single men, age 72, or thereabouts do you know?" Miss Kellems has raised an issue that will arouse the sympathy and support of a great many taxpayers.

Mrs. Freeman noted that the National Bankers Association has launched a nation-w id e larger - mfft mtm mem mes campaign to convince the larg er corporations to deposit funds in the 22 black banks across the country. "We of Delta Sigma Theta don't have to be convinced," Mrs. Freeman said. "We know that with the strengthening of the lending power of these black banks, many black businessmen, homeowenrs and buyers, and parents of children interested in attending college, will re ceive special consideration for needed financial assistance."

Because of the great influx of Black students into predo minantly white or only tokenly desegregated schools should not such school be provided with Black adult advisor in order to counsel these stud ents? Black Students may be groomed with the Afro-hair style when enrolling in these schools. Are there regulations or rules present in force as promulgated by the Superin tendent and the Durham County,"School Board govern ing such styles? What arrangements have been made to insure equitable accommodations and reason able comfort to Black students as far as school busing in the County is concerned? Will consideration be given to altering the names of schools, their color, songs and emblems as was done in other school systems in order to provide assurances to those Black students, particularly at the high school level, whose former schools were eliminated an/or dispalaced and now are forced to attend predominant ly white and only tokenly dese gregated schools? As representatives of organi zation concerned with the wel fare of the Durham County School System, we have con cluded that is is incumbent for its Superintendent, all of the members of the Durham Coun ty School Board as well as all of the Black teacher assigned to such system meet with us before the opening date of schools In the County, in order to, again, conceive, develop, and then implement plan's or programs of action that would effectively expedite the settlement of the problems herinbefore cited as well as others to be anticipated. As suggested, the welfare of the Durham County School System is one of our primary concerns. We request this meet ing so that such welfare may be promoted for the best Inter est of all parties concerned namely, the students, both Black and White-faculty and staff, and finally the public.

And we are not in a mad rush. "We Bahamians consider ourselves fortunate. We see on our television sets such things as riots, protest marches, alt ins and violence. But we are by nature a tranquil nation, a peaceful people. Even during economic and political strife we have been peaceful and law abiding. And our political rev olution was a peaceful transi tion. Now we are on the march toward social and economic readjustment. "We are advancing rapidly on our road of orderly progress. Our attitude of peace and brotherhood provides us with a high priority for success. And we are adjusting rapidly to our fluid, fast-changing society. "It is tragic that some na- tions are inclined toward vio lence and that some people aee' violence as a means to a proper end. Today, however, despite all the conflicts which exist around us, we here in the Bahamas, made up of different races, live and work shoulder to shoulder for a common goal. "We hope to bring about' changes to benefit all who live here. We hope to taste the fruits of success due to our orderly » r -?roach. To Be ■ EQUAL WHITNEY M. YOUNG I ll Unfair State THE NIXON Administration has offered a series of pro posals that would drastically shift power, fund* and a variety of important programs from federal to state control. The plan to share taxes with state and local govern ments is Just the most publicized of the Administration's plans. Other* include shifting aspects of welfare ad ministration and job training. The revenue sharing plan is the most dramatic. A per centage of federal income tax money would be returned to the states with no strings attached. They would be able to ri>end the money anyway they pleased. A complex formula will determine how much each state gets, and the states would have to share the money with the cities. On the surface, the plan looks good. Demands for public services are outstripping local revenues and schools, hospitals, transportation systems, and other vital areas are short of funds. ' But just giving money to the states don't inspire much faith among those of us who have seen local governments ignore the needs of the poor in the past. One reason why the federal establishment' has grown so large is because states have failed in their responsibility to the people. A Return To Discrimination? Federal power has been needed to try to correct local injustices such as discrimination and neglect of cities. Under the Administration's plan, there i| no assurance that the shared revenues would be used without discrimination or that they would be used to improve schools or urban life. The same monies could be used by the federal govern ment to accomplish these goals. If big-city schools need more money, it seem s a roundabout" way of doing things to give fund« to states and then hope they'll use the money, to improve ghetto schools. It's much simpler to grant funds directly to" school districts that need them. Since there would be no strings attached to the shared revenues, states could give the money to local school dis.' tricts that still illegally practice segregation—even when those districts are cut off from present federal grants be cause they are breaking the law. On the same day the President unveiled his plan to share power with the states, the Civil Rights Commission released a report accusing state and local governments of discrimination in employment So long as state and local governments remain in sensitive to the legitimate needs of the poor and of black people, there is no justification for replacing expanded federal programs with revenue sharing schemes. Iron-Clad Safeguards Needed U federal power is to be shared with local government, the federal government must build into its proposals from iron-clad safeguards that will prevent discrimination. What we need.above all at this time in our history is a new set of national priorities new goals to build the schools, housing and jobs the nation needs, and a final end to poverty and discrimination. Such priorities can only come from the national gov ernment. The moon landing didn't come about because that national priority wa« split among the states and cities. The space program was a success because it was a federal priority and got the federal backing needed to make it succeed. If, as we have been told, federal revenue are not enough to meet the great demands for government services, it seems wasteful to distribute scarce resources without insuring that they'll be used to implement national goals. But even if there were no serious objections to reduc ing federal power in favor of the states, the plan's formula for splitting th« tax take leave s cities out ia the cold. The money would be shared according to population and state tax efforts, not according fo peed and income. Federal prestige hals suffered, the President said, "because the federal government promised so much and delivered so little." If that is so, then the answer lie s in promising a bit less and in delivering a lot more, and not in abandoning important natiional priorities in favor of state governments who have y«t to demonstrate their capability in tackling the great domestic problems of our time. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON For August 31, 1969 YOUR BIBLE IS YOUR MAJOR TEXTBOOK: STUDY IT NEHEMIAH REBUILDS THE WALL Scripture: Nehemiah 2:17-18; 4:15-18, 6:1-1. 1346 6:1-3, 15-16 17. Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. 18. Then 1 told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strength ened their hands for this good work. , 15. And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God hid brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work. 16. And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the haber geons; and the rulers were be hind all the house of. Judah. 17. They which builded on the wall, and they that bare bur dens, with those that laded, ev ery one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon. 18. For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And be that sounded the trumpet was by me. (htCarSillaChus PvbUihid ao try Saturday at Durham, N.

Now it came to ppss, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Gesh em the Arabian, and the reat ol our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;) 2. That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono, But they thought to do me mis chief. 3. And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing » great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? 15. So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 16. And It came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down In their own eyes: for they per ceived that this work waa wrought of our God. FOREWORD: The point of challenge in the story of Nehe mlah is that although a layman, in the concept of ecclesiastical customs and procedure, he was not limited in his sensitivity to J the voice and the will of God; 'and neither was he disobedient to the call of God to undertake difficult work that would be to the glory of the Lord, and the benefit of the people. To this end he was committed.
