Dr. Mor sell appeared before the com mittee on behalf of the Leader ship Conference on Civil Rights, a coalition of 127 national organizations, includ ing the NAACP, involved in a joint effort to eradicate all forms of racial, ethnic and religious discrimination. Recommendations sub mitted to the committee called upon the Democratic Party to take affirmative ac tion against discrimination in education, housing, employ ment, the administration of justice, aid to the needy, and Congressional reforms. "The proposals we advance today," Dr. Morsell told the committee, "are expensive and Policemen Lear Brain Instead For the past four years Saint Augustine's College has sponsored a Policemen's In stitute in Individual and Group Pijfhology. Police cadets met twioe a year for four day sessions. They re ceive information from out standing psychologists, sociolo gists, attorneys, community leaders and other educators. At the June 1972 sessions, held June 9-22, the first speaker for the program was Dr. Prezell R. Robinson, presi dent of the college, who chal lenged the young policemen to continue to study, try to un derstand wt)y people do cer tain things, and depend upon the use of brain rather than brawn. Other speakers included Attorney Samuel Mitchell, whose subject was Civil Dis order. Mrs. Dorothy Allen, executive director, Wake Coun ty Opportunities, Raleigh, North Carolina stressed Com munity Involvement by police men in connection with re creational activities of the young and old. Saint Augustine's College students met also with the policemen for reaction and comments. Wanzo Hendrlx, sociology instructor at the college led the discussion. la this session, in addition to becoming better informed about citizen's rights, it was felt that policemen should visit college campuses and try to establish better com munication with students.

But they are meant to eradicate even more costly consequences of segregation and discrimination ... We call upon the Democratic Party in 1972, as we did in 1968, to rededicate itself to the goal of one society." As a first step, he said, the party must "begin by re pudiating all attempts to hob ble the federal courts and school officials in their at tempts to achieve compliance with the Constitution." It is essential, he added, "to have a national effort dedicated to fostering integration in our public schools. We support busing as one means of ac complishing this. The Leadership Conference spokesman proposed a six point program "to help break the segregated housing pat tern." Among these proposals were closer supervision by the Department of Housing and Urban Development of "the marketing policies of real es- Continued On Page 6B cussed "Attitudes and Atti tudinal Change." Attitudes, he said, involve relationships between people. Self identity, he said is most important for the well being of the indivi dual. Young people, and es pecially young black people, who haven't had status, ex perience a difficult time in establishing their self worth. "Continuing Education" was the topic of Dr. Joseph Jones, Jr's lecture. Dr. Jones explained the policies and procedures for the transfer of credits and ad- missions to colleges. He named special programs and work shops in which policemen may become involved, which in- eluded a course in criminal justice, as well as the Police men's Institute. At the conclusion of the Institute, Wiley Davis, adminis trative assistant to the presi dent, addressed the police men at a luncheon. He called attention to local statistics which reveal that between 1970 and 1971, the following number of cases have in creased: Murder, 30%; rape 16% robbery, 53%; aggravated ' assault, 12%;. burglary, 15%; larceny 14& theft, 19%. He stated that these statistics do not include the growing pro blem of narcotics that hit all segments of our society -- black, white, rich and poor.

Orr was elected Saturday to the presi NAACP Report Reviews Civil Rights Activities NEW YORK-The multi faceted and continuous cam paign of the National Associ ation for the Advancement of Colored People to gain full equality for the Negro and other minorities is detailed in the organization's 62nd Annual Report to be released here and in Detroit on the eve of the NAACP's 63rd Annual Con vention, July 3-7. Among highlights reported for the year, 1971, were: an unprecedented omnibus suit against the State of California dunging the state with failure to take action to curb dis crimination within its govern mental structure; U.S. District Court Judge Stephen J. Roth's landmark decision requiring district lines to ac' ieve de segregation; NAACP aid to striking black and white pulp wood cutters in Mississippi. Also, intensified efforts in the quest for military justice, including an on-the-spot in vestigation in West Germany demands for prison reforms; expansion of day care center and housing programs; and a voter education and registra tion program which added 350,000 new voters to the rolls. There was a slight increase in membership over the 1970 total - up to 390,238 from 361,807. Income from all sources declined by 5 per cent from 1970. Summing up the year's activities in the 80-page re port, Executive Director Roy Wilkins said: "Despite the frustrations and actual hostile acts attributable to high go vernment officials and despite the faltering economy, the NAACP is 'no ways tired' of the uphill fight against pre judice. We expect to be in there contending (and winning) every ince of the way, just as we have, in good times and bad, since 1909." Volume Of Private Business In US Largest In The World The volume of private busi ness in the United States is the largest in the world—some 1500 billion dollars in annual re ceipts. But the more than 150,000 black-owned businesses in Am erica account for less than five billion dollars in receipts, or less than 1% of the total. The ABC News Inquiry special, "Black Business in White America" aired Satur day, July 1 detailed why black businesses have not flourished, and the special problems con fronting non-white businessmen in a white -deminated business world. On the ABC News Inquiry speaal, Rev. Jesse Jackson, prominent black economic ac tivist and executive director of PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) offers some surprising statistics on the black business market. According to Rev. Jackson, the 25 million black Americans, if seen as a separate nation, would be the 26th largest on Earth. The American black community, he states, wc id constitute the third Ir ,est African nation.

Soul City Banquet Set in Warrenton SOUL CITY - The Soul City Foundation, Inc., will hold its first annual banquet July 21 at the Warren County Armory in Warrenton beginning at 7:30 p.m. "The banquet will aerve to bring people in this area to gether as well as. . . a vehicle (or fund raising. . said Lewis H. Myers, director ol community organization for the foundation. Myers said that while funds "are being received from federal sources for specific programs, major funds. . . are required to be raised from the private sec tor. . liberate a substantial portion of the black business comm unity." "I am suggesting that if Japan and Germany could come from where they were in 1946 and 1947 to world compe titors by 1971 and 1972, then certainly the black American market has that potential." A basic problem for blacks trying to go into business has been the inaccessibility of capi tal, a situation which is slowly beginning to change. As narrator ABC News spe cial correspondent Frank Rey nolds concluded on the pro gram, "of course, black Ameri cans do have more opportunity to participate in the economic life of the nation than they ever had before." "But, we still hive a long, long way to go before oppor tunity is really equal." "Perhaps we on be opti mistic, in part, because money, unlike some other things, is color-blind."
