THE THINKING OF THE ESTABLISHMENT
Black Perspective on Lyndon B. Johnson
lmm Baines Johnson, 36th Presi
dent of the United States, is dead and
behind him a record of hu
nism that will be hard to
i
anv comments have been written
concerning the deptii of feelings
2nd by Blacks and others upon the
sodden passing of LBJ. With these
thoughts in mind, The Carolina
Times has attempted to share some
of these Black perspectives with its
many readers by giving excerpts
from them within its editorial col
umns. Hobart Taylor. J ., who served at
the White House as a personal and
legal advisor to President Johnson
relates that his association was one
of many years. LBJ was his father's
friend and his for more than SO
years. Speaking of President John
son, Taylor says that LBJ was always
motivated by a strong desire to make
life better for the disadvantaged in
America and around the world. He
did not see these people as objects of
charity, but as potential assets who
could help the nation and humanity
at large if they themselves had a
chance to develop properly.
When he became President of the
United States, he finally had an op
portunity to put his ideas to work
and he was responsible for the great
est amount of social legislation in
the history of the nation. Medicare,
the Higher Education Act reforms in
the Immigration Act all were a part
of his work. But he always consider
ed as his greatest achievement tihe
passage of the Civil Rights and Vol
ing Rights Acts, which eliminated
formal discriminations against Blacks
in employment, public accommoda
tions, housing and voting for the first
time in the nation's history.
Lyndon B. Johnson was a South
enter and was thoroughly familiar
with segregation and discrimination.
He was always ashamed that at one
stags of his life he had be a perti
cipant in the maintenance of institu
tions which condoned and furthered
such practices. He resolved to order
matters so, that other Southerners
would never have to degrade them
selves hjr being forced to engage in
discriminatory practices which they
knew to be wrong.
He hid a special affinity to the
blacks, iaS made equal opportunity
the main goal of his Administration
and the monument by which he
would likefto be remembered. He was
without, illusions he knew what he
was doing and why. In his passing,
all America loses a stalwart cham
pion, but, if we are wise, we also gain
a deepened sense of unity and com
mon purpose which will enable the
republic to prosper and to make real
ity of our ideals for generations to
come.
National Urban League's Vernon
Jordan says that the sudden death
of Lyndon Baines Johnson comes as
a great shock and will be met with
great sadness by black Americans.
He was the black man's champion in
Washington. Demonstrated concern
for the needs of the poor was shown
through dynamic programs and
moral leadership. Without question,
he did more to help black citizens
achieve equality than any other presi
dent in our history. He shall be miss
ed, and his memory will burn hard
and bright in our hearts.
John Lewis, Voter Education Pro
ject Executive Director, civil rights
activist, and former chairman of the
Student Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee described President John
son as a 'persuasiveman who re
sponded to the crisis and pain of black
people, poor people, and other minor
ities." Lyndon Baines Johnson freed
black people from political slavery.
The signing of the Voting Rights Act
in 1965 was one of the most signifi
cant events in the history of Black
people in this nation. In a very real
sense, it was a second Emancipation
Proclamation. LBJ was a perceptive
man who knew the importance of the
Act. He talked about black people
being able to elect a different breed
of politician in the South mayors,
councilmen. state legislators, even
members of Congress. History has
proven him right. When he signed
that Act, there were fewer than 100
black elected officials in the South.
Now there are over 1200.
Giving the ballot to All Blacks was
the same as giving them insurance
on life, for every act, from birth to
death and even beyond revolves
around some type of certification by
a designated official. Think about
births, diplomas, marriages, deaths,
- burials all must have a designated
certificate by some designated offi
cial. For this paper The Carolina Times,
. has been and will continue to be in
terested in educational advancement
throughout its lifetime. Certainly
the more than 300 legislative Bills
which Lyndon Baines Johnson engi
neered through the Congress is and
will long stand as a monument to
his great concern for future genera
tions of this country.
There are many who might villify
the memory of Lyndon Baines John
son because of political beliefs. How
ever, none can take away the fact
that he made life emore liveable for
millions of black folk because the
ideals he believed in were made a
part of his life.
Health Fads and Hie Public
The recent survey done by the firm
of National analysts of Philadelphia
presents some interesting data as to
the gullibility of many Americans
about their health. It seems that
most Americans are not only incredi
bly gullible, but appear naive, super
stitious, uneducated and faddist in
their health habits.
Many believe that wearing of a
copper bracelet will cure rheumatism
or arthritis; that daily bowel move
ment is the indispensable ingredient
of good health and that huge doses
of vitamins provide more pep and
energy. These results have been pre
sented to the Food and Drug Ad
ministration after polling some 3,000
adults.
Other findings show that one fifth
of those questioned believed that
many diseases, including cancer and
arthritis, are partly caused by a lack
of vitamins and minerals.
More than one third suffer from
misconceptions concerning weight
control. Many of them believe that
sweating and massage are good ways
to lose weight. Approximately 25 per
cent of those polled said they suffer
ed from arthritis, rheumatism, or
some allied disease, and of this num
ber, 18 percent admitted using "some
thing to lubricate their joints." One
percent said they had worn copper
or brass jewelry to relieve their pain.
American are bombarded by adver
tisers also reveal a lot of suscepti
bility by the persons polled. In fact,
large segments of the U. S. popula
tion are quite susceptible to the
claims of various media advertising.
Congressional committees have fre
quently pointed out that the U. S. has
become a drug-oriented, hypochondri
acal society. They warn that many
Americans are bombarded by advtr
tisers about a great variety of ail
ments real or imagined.
It must be remembered that under
the barrage of such a daily dose of
suggestions, it takes a truly strong
and secure person to stand up and
admit that he's feeling all right in
today's society.
A tip from the Portland, Oregon.
Traffic Safety Commission: "Most
traffic accidents are really not even
accidents at all. Most crashes are
caused by an error in driver judg
ment or attitude. Alert, defensive
driving could prevent most of the 'so

Consortium for Graduate
Study in Management at a
conference of Consortium Di
rectors in Chapel Hill, Janu
ary 16. The other members
are Indiana University, the
University of Rochester, the
University of Southern Cali
fornia, Washington University
(St. Louis), and the Universi

"Association in the Conior

position in the south," noted.
Dean George. "We will not
only improve our position to
attract excellent minority stu
dents from other regions, but
equally important we will be
in a position to keep those
deserving students from our
own state and region at home.
This reversal of the 'brain
drain' should have important
economic k cultural benefits
for the region and means that
the School of Business Ad
ministration of the Universi
ty of North Carolina will have
the opportunity of playing a
major role in hastening the
entry of minorities into
managerial positions in both
government and industry."
The Consortium is financed
by grants from 130 corpora
tions throughout the United
States, whose goal is to has
ten the entry of black and
members of other minority

ved on the news media. The
court of federal subpoenas has
been reduced sharply, because
of new guidelines issued by the
Department of Justice in 1970,
but the number of state and
local subpoenas has gone up
sharply.
Although a number of states
have laws on the books which
appear to safeguard news-persons
and their sources, Reeves
contended these were fray with
loopholes.
"Eighteen states have laws
'protecting the confidentiality
of newsmen's sources," Reeves
pointed out, "but those laws
are now being disparaged as in
adequate." "California, Maryland, and
New Jersey all have strong
shield laws, and reporters in
11 three states are serving or
threatened with prison terms
-because of loopholes u tiie
law or urri&ual' cA'uWinterp'
Rations."
The Miami publisher claimed
jthe attack on the freedom of
the press was not one of bias
but confidentiality, and told
his colleagues that the black
press will eventually be affect
ed by current government
moves which appear to be aim
ed at shackling the press.
He said the rlgnt of a free
press is one of the basic con
cepts of the Constitution and
noted tuat the founding fathers
found it such a basic precent
that it B part of the First A
mendment to the Constitution
which demanded that "congress
shall make no law. . .abridging
freedom of speech, or of the
press. . "
Unfortunately, he said, the
Constitution does not "define
freedom of the press and
though the amendment would
seem to safeguard the right
to publish the news, it doesn't

tection to tlie right to gather
the news, unless by implica

UNION BOSSES SETTING UP SMOKESCREEN LOBBY
Raymond C. Losornio
Board Chairman
National Right to Work Conunittee
Political pulse watchers expect a new lobby group to open its
doors in the Nation's Capital within the next few weeks. It will be
called the Coalition of American Public Employees (CAPE) and
proclaims itself a citizens' lobby representing public employee
interests.
But watch out! Behind the group stand militant Jerry Wurf,
President of the American Federation of State, County and
Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO, and Catherine Barrett, his
activist counterpart at the National Education Association.
A careful look at the new lobby reveals that its overriding
objective is the total political and economic control of the
nation's 10 million state and local employees through compulsory
union membership. This is not a new goal; it is something that
was actively pursued by professional union lobbyists during the
92nd .Congress and something that is being pursued with equal
vigor in the new Congress.
Modeled after COPE, the AFL-CIO's self-proclaimed
"voluntary" Committee on Political Education, CAPE, according
. i to news reports, is being allotted $200,000 its first year to carry
out its, political missionary work. While this may seem to the
uninitiated like a lot, $200,000 is virtually nothing compared to
the several million Mrs. Barrett and the bosses of NEA locals
(according to Mrs. Barrett in the Los Angeles Times, November
18) poured into the 1972 national and local elections, and the
five to 10 million she says NEA officials will spend to help elect
the next President.
The truly naive might wonder then what Mrs. Barrett and Wurf
think they can buy for less than a quarter million that in years of
trying they have been unable to buy for fifty or a hundred times
that amount. The answer, of course, is respectability -respectability
for their causes; sympathy for the crazy notion that
they "represent" someone other than themselves, possibly even
majority public employee opinion.
When it was just zealous Jerry Wurf and power-hungry
Catherine Barrett demanding that the Congress pass a law
condemning public employees to involuntary servitude in the
form of forced union membership, the demand was easily enough
dismissed by the majority of lawmakers as the rantings and
ravings of a couple of special interest doctrinaires.
But now the same demands for legally-enforced dues-paying
will be made in the name of a "coalition of American public
employees," and compulsory unionism legislation will be
disguised behind cries of "equal bargaining rights" and other
front issues.
The Congress and the public need to see through the
smokescreen - because the political and workaday freedom of
millions of Americans are involved.
As a career government employee, and a long-time voluntary
member of the National Federation of Federal Employees, I can
assure you there is no widespread demand among public
employees for legislation which would force them to join
politically active unions they may violently disagree with. The cry
for such laws comes only from union headquarters.
CAPE, like its big sister COPE, will be staffed with a full
complement of privilege minded professional union lobbyists and
legal "experts." Its goals will be those of top union officials, not
those of the workers.
It would be a tragic mistake if we allowed ourselves to forget
this for even one minute.

friend of mine last week talk
ing about, people going many
miles to as some so-called
"root doctor". Some of them
he said, told him "the man"
could v cure anything you
weren't born with.
He also mentioned about a
lady that lives in his neigh
borhood -that believes someone
put something down under her
front doorstep, and she stepped
over it. He said, she believed
whatever it was. put a "spell"
on her, and she would like to
know who did it. He quoted
her as saying: "1 have an idea
who it was, but I'm not quite
sure." He told me, she said
she was going to see a "lady"
(fortune teller) , who can tell
her exactly the. person's name,
why they did it. and have the
"lady" to take the spell off
her. He said. he. knew a lot of
people who believed in super
stitions. Hp asked me to tell
him about, my opinion on cir
cumstances like that.
I told him 1 could talk to

Our scout leaders are our

men and women who make up
the army of volunteers who
make scouting the largest or

Since these volunteers are

truth is "They make the time."
Leaders are talented people
- but they arereally not too

The difference is that they
want to b of service. Being a
good leader takes time. He
must attend training courses,
he must study and he must

Just as Gladys was making a
sharp turn into Gordon Street,
she recognisied Jtonald hopping
into a taxi. Her first impulse
was to halt the vehicle, inquire
into where her wild, wooly
teenage soft Was going. She had
explained toVlrri that she might
need his help in getting tne pie
table set up for Monday's pro
duction. Betty Lou had quit
without a moment's notice.
There was money to be made
in the Food Industry, but there
were numerous upsets to con
frufit one from day to day;
sicffiess, layouts, breakage,
thefts, waste and a score of
personality flare ups.
Aunt Lizzie's Party Pantry
was a huge success on the one
hand; but, on the other hand,
the wear and tear on ones ner
ves often gave reason for want
ing to thrpw in the towel.
the Granny Lizzie's Peanut
Cary Bars were doing an over
whelming business, however,
theportof sales kept this de
licious food'' item ih the red.
By "the hair of her chinny
chin," she would break down
the cost of prqduction if she
were given the time to devote
more time to work-out a gross
cost of sales, then , delete, add
to, or substitute another pea
nut product just-TE good at a
lesser cost, however, she was
forece to run like a cat with a
can tied to his tail, in an effort
to keep the day by day as
pects on a functional basis.
There was a time when she
didn't want her family in the
business but experience had
taught her that she had taken
the wrong course of action.
Now that she had what she
wanted, she was weary of eat
ing cold remorse. Cold crow
was a nasty, tough mess to eat.
The taxi disappeared in the
swirling flow of traffic at the
501-N intersection and State
Street. While she waited for
the green light to give her the
right of way, she decided to
the same as before they want
in. On the way back home they .
talked and rejoiced about how
they had been healed, and how
good they felt. But out of the
four, only one of them stUI
lives. The other three didn't
live over nine months after
then.
I mentioned that because
people haw been warned for
years about things of this na
ture, but some folk's minds
seems to still be weak. They're
continually going every direc
tion seeking help from some
"quack" who claims he or she
can bring you good luck, make
you rich, and on down to cur
ing cancer.
1 believe people like that
could over come such silly
"fairy Ult". if they would
find more things to do with
their idle time. Those foolish
ideas are childish thoughts, and
can make anyone that follow
them be a first class "Hypo
chondriac." Another example: People
would tell me when I was a
boy, "if you break a mirror,
you will have seven years
trouble, or if a Mack cat cross
the road in front of me bad1
luck. All of those stupid things
I've beard 'are long gone tor
me, and it should be with
everyone.
Common sense is the an
swer; by using common sense,
it could be a good formula
that can solve weak minded
problems. People that dwell
too much on superstitious
ideas are actually trying to
make something out of no

elderly people tell me how
weak some folks are. They have
been "phonies" themselves
fooling people into thinking
they can do anything to help
a person in all ways. Some told
me they have given people
"baby powders" in a small bag,
and ground up "leaves" off a
tree and etc., and made a good
living with "donations" that
were given to them. Most of
them have passed away now,
but they have told a lot of
things in my place of business
so everyone in there could hear
and know that it's nothing but
a fake, and swindling people
out of their money. Most of
them said this -to trv and clear

in a booming, pathos filled
voice, words from the Book of
First Corinthians: "O death,

ANNA R. HENDERSON
Despite the over tones of
negatives that have beset us
during the month of January,
1973 still promises to be a
year of real accomplishments
for the nation on all fronts.
There is much sickness,
steady rising costs of living,
an upsurge of crimes 5 bank
robberies to date in North
Carolina; a period of mourn
ing called by President Nixon
in tribute to former presi
dent Lyndon B. Johnson. We
are rnindful, too, that the Na
tional flags are still lower
ed in mourning the death of
former Presidnt Harry S.
Truman. By and large, the
overall picture already looks
dismal and dubious for semi-
JWIK.UIMO.

upon hearing a report of
some disaster, they will say,
"Well, that's no more than I
expected."
Two ladies were exchang

on Sunday's sermons and the
children scampering around
up town; finally, one gather

"This weather is something

sagacious look and replied,
"We aren't going to have
much more rough weather, l

morning." At least, she was
hopeful of better days ahead.
Speaking of Sunday's ser
mon, Miss Anna R. Hender
son gave a brilliant recital of
"I Have A Dream" in recog
nition and in memory of the
late Dr. Martin Luther King,
jr. The junior Miss was one
of a half dozen young people
appearing in the Youth Day
Service: Carol Williams, Mar
garet McQueen, Harvey
Prince, Jr. and Cathy Par
rish. Anna Henderson, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hen

"Miss Taugadetta" by the
Lambda Chapter of Tau Gam

Hodges family.
THE END
NOTICE: Look forward to a
new heart warming story of
a Black woman who suddenly
discovers that she is Living in a
Black segregated neighborhood.

who knew her onions when it
came to finding the snortest
distance between victory and
defeat in any Black situation.

Make no mistake about K,
Hitler Nixon got his peace.
Likewise did white racist
America. On the other hand
if we look clearly at what
actually happened we can see
what amounted to no more
than a propagandized SUR
RENDER. That is to say this
country has been beaten and
let us not forget it. The Viet
namese people were success
ful in kicking some more Eu
ropeans out of their country
The will of the Vietnamese
has endured the sadism, and
savagery of the United States
and its misled or racist allies.
Ironically the same people
who opposed anything but a
total eradication of North
Vietnam, were the same peo
ple in the streets last week
end making the most noise
about peace. Where were all
the peace makers when this
country first invaded the land
of the Vietnamese.
Let us understand if noth
ing else that the will of a
determined people can en
dure, resist . . can win. Wc
as Black people are in an age
where we must recognize the
struggles of people like us.
When our non-white brothers
struggle and win we must be
wise enough to recognize that
our oppressors have been
weakened that much more. So
let us also be about the busi
ness of determined struggle
to victory. Unfortunately his
tory will never forgive us for
the role that we played in
the Vietnamese war as mer-
for a sick husband, Jeannie
stemmed the tide and filled
her place regularly in the
Senior Choir. The "Pretty
Baby Contest" was a Pratt
oriented program.
At present Mrs. Pratt is
still chairman of the S. C.'s
Program Committee; Up-To-Date
Club; Galeda Class; The
Senior Missionary Circle:
President of the Good Will
Club And the Crest Street
Neighborhood Club.

can we ever forget ear
ers in this country who con
stantly wave flags and short
white people on to greater in
justice. What is equally hwportant
about this so-called pea is
the dawn of repreasioai tha
it ushrs in. Black people will
not be able any longer to
hide behind the war as itassr
for doing nothing. Hiflaa
Nixon in the next four years
wi'l find out just how much
wc can take. No longer will
monies be spent on pacifica
tion, poverty or people. Loans
for poor people and low in
come people to build homes
has been stopped. Within the
next two months the Office of
Economic Opportunity will he
phased out. With the end of
the war economy industry
will slow down which means
Black people will again be
the first fired White kids
will no longer be in the street
getting their heads beat, so I
guess they'll beat more of us
to keep in practice. Make no
mistake about it happy days
are no where in sight where
Black people are concerned.
We can begin to watch for
increased military action by
this country in Africa. We can
watch for more reactionism
from local police. Some of the
consequences when this coun
try changes gears, or victims
will become clear to us in the
next few months. It's my hope
that we as a people have
learned something from the
Vietnamese and also from our
own history Let us not sit
back for repression as we did
in past war endings. Let us
realize what is happening and
what can happen to us. If we
are to survive we must stand
together and resist this re
pression in a correct and ef-
r MnnMA. H7a must hp

ready for what may come.
In the words of your other
great president who also died
last week. "There will be
some difficult days ahead."
