All Americans Are Needed In This Struggle
Tte need for all Americans to
stand op and help push in the efforts
to stop the intensive budget cutting
by the Administration is at hand
now. Such efforts or struggles for
continuation of some of the much
needed programs transcends race.
It must to remembered that many
of the "so-called white majority"
have been among the prime benefi
ciaries of the programs of the 1960's
as well as the more vocal disadvan
taged groups. Hie need is still here
and appear to be increasing every
day as one looks at all the crises af
fecting our economy. No matter what
one says the well known issues such
as better and more schools, employ
ment or job opportunities, housing
for all, personal safety and decent
health care are still needed by the
masses. With the many returning
veterans these issues will become
Aran more critical.
Many persons, unfortunately, Jjave
falsely perceived of these issues as
"black issues." However, it does ap
pear that aD of us are in the same
boat now as the many prooiems -ing
from the dismantling begin to
affect those at all levels. We need
to all pitch in and urge the continu
ation of many of the programs now
being scheduled to end or be cast
aside.
Further, many communities ap
pear to have deteriorated to a point
beyond the reach of resources and
techniques of private and public com-,
binations of help. In the long run,
rural and urban depressed areas can
only be developed through the appli
cation of massive funds from the
federal government. Suburbs are now
beginning to feel the pinch of air
and water pollution as some indus
tries Aave located within the commu
nities, while the urban areas are well
acquainted with the ravages of urban
renewal and problems of relocation,
tjjlvenue sharing without the contin
uing pouring in of other funds ap
pear to be unequal to fulfilling the
great needs of all our communities,
urban or suburban.
For iust as the U. S. must not be
come isolationist in world affairs,
the federal government cannot nave
tthe problems of millions of poor and
even the not so poor to the states
and cities. That policy has not work
ed in the past nor will it work now
or in the future.
So, the hour of crisis is at hand
and is rapidly calling upon all of us.
All Americans must join in this great
struggle to maintain some of the pro
grams being dismantley by the Ad
ministration's "eager beavers."

Eat Less and Beat the High Cost of Foods
One of the latest comments on the
high cost of food was the suggestion
that all of us just eat less. In fact,
that suggestion came from a high
administration official on nationwide
television.
Meanwhile food prices continue to
soar upward as Mr. and Mrs. Con
sumer Seek to realistically assess
what can be done. L-
This paper is old enough to remem
ber this same advice from another
Republican president and those who
stood in the soup lines remember
that indeed we ate a WHOLE lot
less1. '
Maybe eating less will take off a
lot of the excess weight that many
of us carry around.
It is at least worth a try and it
may keep your pocket books in a lit
tle better shape.

'BuT Connor
Death puts all mankind in the
same class and so it was with T.
EUGENE "BULL" CONNOR,
former police chief of Birmingham,
Ala , who put his city on the map
with his dogged resistance to school
desegregation. "Bull" Connor died
recently following an attack of
pneumonia while he was critically
in He died in a nursing home and
had been the victim of a crippling
stroke Feb. 26 from which he never
recovered.
The history of Birmingham
leaves students of race relations
with the feeling that CONNOR, like
others in his class, were the victims
of an environment which usually
breeds white leaders and officials
without a heart or understanding for
justice for Negroes and other
minority groups. This is perhaps
wtiy ARTHUR D. SHORES, Bir
r ingham's first Negro councilman,
could say "I've never had any bad
feelings for him" in speaking about
CONNOR after his death. COUN
CILMAN SHORES went on to say:
"I think Birmingham could have
made more progress if he bad
changed his attitude toward the race
situation . But it seemed as though he
performed in a way mat he thought
was in keeping with the wishes of a
majority of the people."
"BULL" CONNOR was a staunch
leader of the forces bent on denying
Birmingham Negroes their con
stitutional rights to meet and
prepare their protest against
segregation and oppression.
""ONNOR belonged to the old school
.id too many of his persuasion and
jtttrutt still held important
rnrnent positions in this land.
bull" CONNOR lived and
blossomed through an important era
in American history- And he made
his contribution. The picture of his
"lawmen" herding women and
children around the sheets with
cattle prods; the violence of his
colleagues in smashing peaceful
citizens to the ground with powerful
streams from fire hoses; the
brutality of men assaulting march
ers with billy clubs; the un
merciful attack on defenseless
people by officers with snarling
dogs; all of this done at the direction
of "BULL" CONNOR and under the
color of law, and some of it recorded
by news cameras; this shameful
episode in brutality and
discrimination revealed the soul of
the pixie racist for what it was - and
it shocked his neighbors.
: In this state of shame and shock,
America bowed to decency and at
least made a few feeble steps toward
desegregation. Thus, "Bull" Connor
with his bullhorn made his con
tribution to the civil rights
movement by showing his fellow
Americans some of the brutality, the
fear, the hardships, the servitude
and rank racial discrimination that
black Americans were called upon
to endure in a segregated society.
"BULL" CONNOR - like the rest
of us was a product of the times.
When black people marched out into
the streets of Birmingham and
asked for their civil rights, he felt
called upon as police commissioner
to use the forces of "law and order"
to smash this challenge to his way of
life. He represented the power
structure, the ruling class. He knew
that the segregationists expected
him to keep blacks 'in their place."
In a racist society, "BULL" CON
NOR was doing bis Job. In that
context, we might be persuaded to
appreciate. Councilman Shore's
generous comment "I never had
any bad feelings for him."

In commenting on the pro
posed changes, Theodore A
dams, executive director of the
National Association of Black
Manufacturers, said, "I know
what the SBA is trying to do
they're trying to stop whites
from ripping off by using a
black front. "I agree with that,
Adams said, "but don't ruin
the whole program. Don't
throw out the baby with the
bath water," he declared.
Adams, who said his group
represents more than 200 black
manufacturing companies, ad
ded that the Association will
attempt to have the hew chan
ges modified so that they will
be more representative of a
"ennnd business Droeram."
"in their present wmLjjp
proposals are a threat to the
entire (set-aside) program, and
they would destroy the pro
gram," Adams warned.
He also charged that the
SBA to violate the intent of
the President by changing one
word with the new proposals,"
Adams said. "The SBA did this
when it said minority compan
ies must be 'owned and con
trolled by minorities. The pres
ident originally said 'owned
or controlled.
"There is a significant dif
ference in whether a company
is 'owned and controled' by
minorities. Many black com
panies cannot be 'owned and
controled' by blacks. We just
don't have the capital. Too,
we want the participation of
whites."
Adams said his group feels
the SBA "should look over
their regulations and change
them." He added that the
.black manufacturers will work
with the SBA "to bring trie
program in line with what the
President wants."
When asked whether he
thought the President was sym
pathetic to the plight of black
businessmen who will be af
fected by the SBA modifica
tions, Adams, sounding some
what like an intergationist,
said he was certain Mr. Nixon
would, respond positively
"Things that you, make all

Adams said. "It's a game peo
ple ha ve been playing for years.

War on Poverty has gotten tied in people's minds with black
poverty and many whites aren't willing to fight for it. So it it
black people who bear the brunt of trying to save a program of
great importance to white people.
The same can be said for welfare reform. The majority of
welfare recipients are white, although the popular image of
welfare is that it is a program that helps only blacks. Last year
when welfare reform was a hot topic, black-led organizations
went down to Washington to fight for a living minimum inrjome
standard, but the white poor remained unorganized and silent. I
can't help wondering whether they would have sent their checks
back to the government if higher payment standards had been

endangered by the planned cuts in social services. The price of
their silence is continued poverty ano deprivation.
Black people, because of historic and present discrimination,
are disproportionately poor and therefore benefit from many
programs in disproportionate numbers. But the majority served
in each and every one of these programs is the white population.
These are just as much white problems as they are black ones,
and the inntiniMd white silence ranks as this country's number

AMERICAN ROW'S RETURN
Pictures of American prisoners of war
returning to their families inevitably brought
up, for Negro Americans, the many-sided
question of the treatment of their men in
the armed services. Also, the clashes between
white and black enlisted men on the aircraft
carrier Kitty Hawk sharpened their feelings.
Then when the Navy reviewing authority
reversed the conviction of Cleveland
Mallory, a black saflor on the Kitty Hawk,

reviewing authority's action was the kind of
definite and dramatic procedure that
Negroes have been demanding in order to
begin the reviving of the faith of blacks in
the system of military justice. Whatever

over and over and are recognized today by
even non-militant Negroes as virtually
worthless. ,
Of course,. the Navy had been confronted
with the conviction of a black sailor on the
perjured testimony of a white witness. The
witness admitted after the trial that he had
not seen Mallory beat a white sailor. The
Navy says that it never saw the legal papers
charging perjury. Jt just acted, it says, in a
'Routine rcviiW." The Navy is welcome to
this bit of face-saving. Black people know
and the Navy knows.
All the Kitty Hawk black enlisted men have
been released from' pre-trial confinement;
This Is a punishment they should never have
had endured. They were free for three weeks
after, the clash, then locked in the brig. Some
cnarges against iwu men were ubhiuuku, uui
others remain. Two charges have been
dismissed against a South Carolina man and
assault charges against him are being studied.
The Navy is making a beginning, but only
that. The report of the special congressional
committee under Rep. Floyd Hicks of
wasnmgton nao more wnuewasii wurus in u
than the proceedings of a kangaroo court.
But someone deflated the Hicks document
by simply pointing out that only whites
were called to testify. This is par for remote
parts of the southern hinterland, but hardly
expected of the State of Washington. Rep.
Hicks was off the mark m blaming Navy
racial troubles on permissiveness.
This would be news to black servicemen, in
whatever branch they are, for they are
smarting under racial discrimination, not
permissiveness. A black man is dogged from
the day he enlists. Discrimination follows
and frustrates him as he seeks promotion
and military justice. It follows him Lito
civilian life with the stigma and limitations
of an other-than-honorable discharge.
A task force has found officially that
pre-trial confmement and the various aspects
of military justice were among the prime
complaints. Blacks were found to have
received nunishment at double the white
rate for certain offenses, including
"provoking gestures." Half the men held in
the stockade in pre-trial confinement h
1970 were black. Some junior grade officers
persist in their prejudiced procedures.

but I had no choice at this
point; I was ready to talk,
'Yes! I accidently learned
McQueen's name at the Sen
ior Usher's Christmas Party."
I gushed.
"She's cute! She is the same
jjicejperson she was when she
was little girl.''
"Her name is Margaret!" I
blurted out.
"I never thought of her
first name. I guess I thought
her name was Beatrice
isn't her mother's name Bea
trice? They are all tall and
very polite."
"What's the program all
about? A money-raiser to
buy badges?" I laughed.
"They do wear badges! I
remember seeing them wear
ing badges. Mrs. Delores Jef
feres is president and Pro
gram Chairman Hattie Par
tin is on program too." .
It was too late to water
down my ecstacy.
I'm conscious of the aeviis
imps performing a rain dance
before my eyes, but it's too
late to over take the band
wagon of gloom. And. as the
evening progressed, there
was no need to wallow in re
morse for having abandoned
the Sunday habit. A glance

at the program format dis
closed the promise of an en
joyable evening. The Young
Adult Usher Board's 3rd An
niversary celebration was a
"Musical Anniversary." This
was a switch from the tradi
tional "outstanding speaker
highlight."
A slightly early arrival
gave one an opportunity to
watch the various groups
gather, take their appointed
places,. pin on flowers and
colors: The Young Adult
Ushers, chic as models wear
ing black dresses, pinned on
corsages of white carnations
tied with pink and white rib
bons. By the way, the motto
of this group is:
Td rather be a doorkeep
er in the House of my God,
than dwell in the tents of
wickedness."
The TV fan sits awestruck
by all the pomp and splendor
unfolding before his eyes.
Wide open eyes for the first
time, on Sunday afternoons,
in months. Here, there are
pretty, eurvacious, charming
coeds the guys were hand
some and suave and wearing
lavender shirts that matched
the color of the ladies gowns:
The Penticostal Fellowship
Choir at North Carolina Cen
tral University.
Too, there was a bevy of
starlets wearing white robes
wide, cardinal red collars;
The Children's Choir at
Greater St. Paul Baptist
Church.
And in addition to trie
aforementioned angelic sing
ers, the popular, delightful
Choral Ensemble of Mount
Calvary Holy Church, clad in
floor length gowns of deep
purple, qualified top billing
on the roster of soulsttrring
vocal renditions the males
in this marvelous singing
group, "Shorty-pants' includ
ed, do a wonderful job of
supporting the delectable fe
male vocalist

eye-appeal in forms, colors
