Revitalization of Downtown Areas
Many small business men, blacks
and low income persons need to look
anew at the revitalization programs in
downtown areas.
They must cease fleeing from the
services and facilities inherent in
downtown development while
power-hungry investors and others
gobble up the land and return to
rebuild the areas.
A sad thing is that in most cases,
much of the land to be developed can
be purchased at low costs by so many
of the investors. Most of the black
businesses in many downtown areas
were removed in the name of urban
renewal and at a fraction of the price,
spent in effort, time and dedication to
make a living, by governmental forces.
Then in order to either relocate or
even rebuild, the expertise and other
services have been unavailable to
them, within our own areas, one can
gaze upon the enormous amounts of
land where many homes and
businesses once stood. Evert though
they may have been in shobby
conditions, many of the store keepers
could make some type of living from
them. For blacks and low income
persons, the old theme "urban
renewal means black removal" appear
to be true all over the country in most
urban areas.
It would alsO appear that at times
much racism and other discrimination
of ethic groups were involved ;in that
insurance companies refused to allow
insurances to the small businessmen
and black businesses involved while
they were doing business in the
unrevitalized areas.
A recent story in Wall St. Journal
points up that now the Hotel business
is reversing its trend and is now going
where the action is.-downtown. All of
a sudden insurance and other business
necessities are being given; for most
persons are well aware that insurance
on such ventures is most vital and
quite essential for any business, no
matter where located.
Revitalization is good, but
somehow safeguards must be built in
the revitalization plans whereby the
medium income, low income and
others can continue to share in the
opportunities afforded in inner city
areas, whether with a business venture
or with job opportunities.

Watergate and Most Black People
Some very interesting comments
have been 'made by many
knowledgeable blacks regarding the
Watergate Affair and Black People.
However, several notable comments
have come to the attention of this
paper.
As a rule, most black people know
who is their friend and who may be
their deadly enemy. Both in 1 968 and
in 1972, many blacks hoped $rfjW
the nation about the Nixon
Administration, knowing full well that
no leader could possibly harbor such
X chilling hostility towards a tenth of
the nation's population without
ending up by "doing the entire nation
in." " '
Pre-Watergate records were all there
for anyone to icSucfcthtopM
t unprincipled attacks Tupon Voorhees
a - Hetet. Sahaaan Douglas in
-v-CtHf ornia-nttting Richard Nixon
membership in the House of
Representatives in one case and
membership in the Senate in the
other. That famous tear-jerker played
to the whole world on TV netted
Richard Nixon the vice-presidency.
On top of these capers, the names
of several individuals who had no
possibility for being confirmed for the
Supreme Court seats were bandied
right and left and finally ended up
with Renquist and Powell, who had
apparently beewlwaiting in the wings
I all the time. W wonder how those
individuals wjjfie names had been
bandied around felt after such
treatment, Wattit too, the theme then,
to "speak wflvir of this man as now
seems to be coming from the
Watergate hearing testimony?
Following this, there is the old law
and ordlr "mimmick" with men in
such hi$i places taking the law and
order right from the streets right
smack into the SUITES of the
fabulous Watergate and then seeking
all kinds of immunity from even being
nrosecuted. What of those thousands
of blacks and other poor, who Jn
many instances have been placed in
jails and other holding places without
any actual evidence. Even Mr. Law
and Order himself John Mitchell, has
admitted to discussions of plans for
criminal activity in the office of the
nation's chief law enforcement
agency, the Justice Department of the
United States. Yet at the same time,
his office was prosecuting the
Catholics for discussions of their
Anti-War feelings and discussing the
kidnapping of John Kissinger.
This indeed, seems to have placed
our country into the hands of that
gang of police-state minded men who
would, and did not stop at any thing
to assure the re-election of Richard
Nixon. From all accounts on
Television this coterie of White House
Aides r .; ind us of Rasputin,
Richiclieu. t .wring and Hess, the
Gestapo-minded aides of another
power hungry little man, Hitler. This
may well be true when one reads the
backgrounds of such individuals as
Kalmbach and his early attachment to
the Hitlerite antics.
Over and over again one hears that
anything was allowed as long as
4 Richard Nixon won the re-election.
Many Macks wonder if white
- Americans are really incensed as these
terrible crimes are being unveiled
against many persons.
I We would certainly hope that a
y , qumber of White Americans could and
will see through this hideous facade.
Have white Americans really
become so furious with Nixon for
embarassing the many who eagerly
flocked to his support especially
those flag-toting, anthem-singing
conservatives who feel that they have
a "special charge to keep" to conserve
what they alone consider the "real"
American values.
Jkny of these individuals openly
said they would be glad to have a
president who would at last put black
people in their place, who would cut
off the tide of civil rights, who would
conserve the glorious status quo in
which the rich get richer and the poor
get poorer.
"Think of all the harrassment of
individuals as so stated by Colson, a
prnwr aide who set out to harass
black construction unions in order to
prevent them from competing
successfully with white union", to say
nothing of that Enmity list and
income tax pressures on so many
individuals. '

CREDENTIALS' NEEDED
However, this Administration has
not only saw fit to frustrate, attack
and openly castigate blacks, but have
put the finger on many, many
thousands of other persons as well.
This surely would appear to be power
for personal and self aggrandizement
at all and any costs.
This administration has been as
administration of duplicity; while on
one hand opening doors to Moscow,
Russia and to Peiping, China, and on
the other hand it has been busily
engaged in closing doors in Harlem,
Hough and Watts.
The time is growing short for these
men who would do anything and
everything in their power, by their
own admission, to secure and keep
Richard Nixon in the office of
President.
And for Blacks, as well as millions
of other Americans, the continued
push must be made to try to uplift the
moral spirit of all if we are to move
ahead in these trying times.
As has been said many times by the
late Adam Clayton Powell, "we must
keep the faith".
Accountability Is Amwar
Watergate has revealed many things to
the American people, but none so clearly as
the extent to which this President gathered
power into the White House. Power was
centralized, while using the rhetoric of de
centralization, and the aides to whom mis
power was given were almost uniformly
neat, young, amoral and responsible to no
one. There was no accountability on the
White House staff no one to whom the
Ehrlichmanns and the Magruders and the
Porters were truly accountable. The func
tions of Cabinet officers were reduced to a
shockingly low point. Sen. W. F. Mondalc.
Only Tfcw rasWaf ...
It seems to me that only the President
can clear up this matter. The majority of
the citizens believe mat the President knows
more than he has told. It must be discom
forting to the President to have millions of
people believing he has not told all. What
ever the U S. Constitution says, the Presi
dent is obligated to tell the people the truth.
A statement on television will not do. There
is no questioning period. A press conference
will not suffice. There, only a few reporters
can ask questions. A written statement un
der oath would not satisfy. As Senator Sam
Ervin has said, "you cannot cross-examine
a piece of paper. "-Or. Benjamin Mays.
The persons and institutions usually
classified as "not relevant" in Negro education
appear to be emerging in front in the struggle
for the direction of schools for the Mack
population. They are not yet clearly the victors,
but the forces which tried to separate the solid
Mack educational progress from the emotional
racial chaff seemed to be dominant.
At the recent convention of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, the delegates passed a resolution which
was very clear in calling ft the joining of white
' and black state -supported colleges. TJH .
resolution carefully " refrained from
commenting on the Mack private college
situation. Public desegregation is the objective
The NAACP delegates quite correctly give
priority to state-supported schools, for these
represent public policy.
Seme of the criticisms of the education of
Mack students that were yoked by a Negro
professor, Thomas Sowell, indicate a trend
toward common sense. Mr. Sowell says the
colleges, caught up in black fervor, bent over
backwards in setting up black studies
1 departments, installing willy-nilly, courses in
black history and in the recruitment of black
students.
He contends that colleges have overlooked
brilliant Negro students in favor of those who
lack the grades and the potential of the
well-prepared student. Critics of this practice, if
white, are said to be insensitive or racist; if
black, are branded as middle-class, not "really"
black. The net result of this is that the Mack
community winds up with either inferior orno
educated leadership. Mr. Spwell's book, which
could not have been accepted three years ago,
pays his respects to the highly suspect Mack
studies programs in these words:
"But whether they (black studies) are, in
fact, an avenue to wider knowledge or a detour
into a blind alley of rhetoric and slogans
depends on the facts of die individual
....black students, by and large, are very
pragmatic about black studies programs and
stay away from them in droves when they don't
measure up ...black people in general have had
enough experience with inferior education not
to want any more of it."
Another straw in the wind, which
indicates that the Mack community and black
students themselves have begun to question
what is being done hi Negro education, is to be
found in Malcolm King College, a small Harlem
institution. The 750 students of a more mature
age, want littie of black studies, none of
political intimidation or of the "black brother"
line, but seek the knowledge that will open up
economic opportunities as well as enrich the
good black life.
The tiny college grants degrees. Its faculty ,
although unpaid by the college, is composed of
faculty members at nearby colleges that are
accredited. They give their time, evenings and
Saturdays. Mrs. Mat tie Cook, administrative
director of the college, has a master's degree
from Teacher's College at Columbia and has
pretty definite ideas:
"It is evident that the better jobs are not
open unless you have credentials, academic
degrees. Society demands it and if that is what
it takes to move up, then let's not ay people
don't need credentials "
Yes, American Negroes are beginning to
get their feet on the ground with respect to
their education. They regard their Soul Sisters
and Brothers with affection and they will even
learn Swahili as they learn French to help then
culture, but they feel that while speaking
Swahili may help to dignify that language, it
won't get a job as a chemist or an engineer at
Merck or at Boeing. Perhaps they ate wearing
the day when they will not be told by the
raucous blacks that they don't need credentials,
merely blackness.

Sterilization Scandal
The parents of two young Mack girls in Alabama have
brought suit against the government for the invotary
sterilization of the children, an act that makes the blood n
cold in its callous disregard for the most fundamental rights
of the individual. T. ..Ii...
It seems that a family planning clinic in Montgomery,
funded by the federal government, sterilised the girls on the
basis of the "X" their mother, who didn't understand what
was being proposed, scrawled on the permission form. The
girls' father , who did understand and would have opposed it,
was never consulted.
IT NOW TURNS OUT that another nine girls may have
been sterilized by that clinic without full parental consent
and without fully understanding what the consequences
would be, but there is evidence the problem is nation-wide.
The proper and necessary role of a family planning clink is
to give advice, administer birth control pills and devices to
those who want them, and to respect its clients, not to play
God with other people's lives and to decide for itself who
should be allowed to bear children and who is unqualified.
I don't think it a coincidence that the victims of these
federally-funded experimenters were black. Time and again
people in power have abused their office by victimizing black
people and by seeing them as sub-human objects.
THE STERILIZATION scandal comes on the heels of the
revelation that U. S. experimental study of the
effects of syphillis was made on some 400
black men in Tuskegee, Alabama. That project was
started back in 1982, and when penicillin began to be used to
cure the disease around 19M, the experimenters decided not
to administer the drug.
As a result, 28 men died directly as a result of their now
curable illness and another 150 died from the side effects of
the disease. This kind of mass murder in the name of science
is reminiscent of the Nazi experiments on human beings they
considered sub-human, and the sterilization scandal shows
us that this spirit is still a danger.
THE PEOPLE AT the clinic may not see it in just those
terms, but the complacent attitude of many people and some
startling poll results of doctors show that the dangers of
racist extermination are present. One recent survey said
that a high percentage of doctors polled, favored compulsory
sterilization for welfare mothers with three illegitimate
children
It always starts low-key. First, people accept sterilization
of the retarded, as one of the girls in the Montgomery case is
supposed to be. The Nazis too, took measures to eliminate
retarded individuals. Then comes acceptance of steps
against those who are considered immoral the mothers of
illegitimate children. Next is some racial group or iden
tifiable caste that Is open for punishment, for ex
perimentation, or, finally, for genocidal measures. Only fools
ignore warning signals, expecially when we have the lessons
of history to guide us.
TO THEIR CREDIT, federal officials have responded to
the Montgomery story by taking steps to insure it won't be
repeated. But we live in an age in which discredited racial
theories are revived, an age in which learned men feel free to
publish shoddy research purporting to show that blacks are
genetically inferior. , 4r(. ,
In such an atmosphere it would be dangerous to treat the
Montgomery case as an isolated instance of two young girls
being wronged, or to assume that strengthened federal
regulations and the bracing effect of publicity will prevent
such things from happening again.
It seems clear that the Montgomery incident and the
Tuskegee atrocity before it are warnings for the future. They
are warning to everybody black and white for once any
group is subjected to Inhuman treatment, others follow.
Amerians have to be on guard against the smallest abuses
against even the most universally condemned among us, for to
tolerate it is the first step on the road to Hell.

Reed Larson
Executive Vice President
National Right to Work Committee
A small group of union militants who are determined to
remake government in their own image are bilking the taxpayers
in several states for thousands of dollars intended to finance
public service jobs.
The Conspirators, who not only don't hide but publicly flaunt
their desire to control education, law enforcement, and public
safety and welfare services, are the public employee union
professionals who have managed, with the help of some obliging
politicians, to finagle the rip-off of rip-pffs - enactment of
so-called "agency shop" laws which turn public payrolls into vast
union moneysheds.
What is happening, in short, is that state lawmakers in nearly a
dozen states have decided it should be public policy for all public
employees to pay "fees" to union officials or lose their jobs. In
other words, tax dollars, intended for civil service paychecks, are
being automatically diverted to a group of union officials who are
free to spend the money as they see fit . . . which means spending
in the union interest rather than the public interest.
Compulsory "agency shop" arrangements for government
employees already exist in Hawaii, Rhode Island, Wisconsin,
Alaska, Washington, Montana, Michigan, Minnesota, and
Vermont, and could be a fact of life in several other states -Ohio,
Oregon, Massachusetts, and California - before the year is
out. The prospects are frightening.
The United States Supreme Court late last month provided a
timely and pertinent backdrop for this discussion: The Supreme
Court rejected a suit brought by postal union officials attempting
to invalidate the Hatch Act, which prior to introduction of the
"agency shop" rip-off, insulated public employees at both the
federal and state level from partisan politics.
In a key segment of its opinion, the High Court said: "This
decision on our part would no more than confirm the judgment
of history, a judgment made by this country over the last
century, that it is in the best interest of the country, indeed
essential, that federal service should depend upon meritorious
performance rather than political service ..." (In a companion
ruling, the Court applied the same principle to state and local civil
service.) Yet, under the so-called "agency shop" laws which
require public employee dues-paying to politically partisan
organizations, the payment of fees to the union is the controlling
factor, not merit.
It's a neat set-up the union bosses have. Through their partisan
political activities they elect "lawmakers" who proclaim it law
that public employees pay tribute to the union bosses in the form
of compulsory "agency fees." This, in effect, gives the union
bosses a government tax grant which they can then use to
perpetuate their benefactors In public office.

"Even though such
provisions are unlawful and

by persons not familiar with
the provisions of the civil rights
laws," Mr. Pottinger wrote in
his letter.
"Accordingly, we think it is
important that such provisions
be promptly eliminated
wherever they exist ..."
Mr. Pottinger said the
Justice Department has made
no survey to determine the
extent, if any, to which
municipal laws retain unlawful
housing provisions, but "We
think the problem is real rather
than academic."
He asked the municipal
organizations to inform their
members of the 1, ant ana case
so that municipalities will
review their ordinances and
eliminate any provisions that
might impinge on a person's
right to equal housing.
In the Lantana case, the
1931 town charter authorized
the town council to establish
racially segregated areas.
Although the policy was never
enacted, the town voted to
retain the provision in a
referendum on March ,. 14,

"Southern University is s

THEORY
(Continued from front page)
Dr. Shockley's proposal was in
response to highly critical
statements that Mr. Wilkins
had made of the scientist's
position on genetic inferiority
during the recent NAACP
Annual Convention in
Indianapolis.
In his letter to Mr. Wilkins,
Dr. Shockley charged that the
press had not accurately
reported his position. He also
said that he did not think that
the reported accounts of Mr.
Wilkins' speech accurately
represented his position on
genetics. .
So he submitted to the civil
rights leader several papers and
articles that purportedly
presented his position
adequately.
Mr. Wilkins noted in his
reply that "a hundred other
questions" must be considered
and settled before any
experiments could be made.
Such questions include the
effects of 250 years of slavery
in America and another 100
years of' near-slavery after
1865.

influence of teacher
preparation and in-service
training; student involvement
in all aspects of the association;
and "a program that moves
NEA to a position of action
rather than reaction."
The president-elect favors
permitting any qualified
educator, to join NEA, but
recommends proportional
representation for classroom
teachers In the association's
governing bodies. He will
support coalitions with outside
teacher groups, provided NEA .
remains autonomous. He does
not believe an NEA-union

submit its design by April 1 of
next year. Initial results of the
study are not expected until
1974 or 1976. About $2

to finance a long range study
the commission said.
The Rand corporation has
been a major contractor for
government security agencies
and the Department of
Defense. For the last few years
it has become increasingly
involved in social science
research.
Several factors seem to have
triggered the decision for the
study. Among these are
increased opporitiontou

schools, the Christopher Jencks
argument in his book
"Inequality" that schools per
se do very little to help
children from lower income
families to earn income as
adults because of society's class
divisions.
The Commission study will
probe teacher - student racial
attitudes, whether minority
students are more inclined to
go to college after attending
white schools.

The purpose of this com
petition is to encourage me
chanically talented students
to complete their education
and to become auto mechan
ics. Since the contest origi
nated in 1949, it's estimated
that more than 18,000 par
ticipating students have been
placed in lull or part-time
jobs as auto mechanics. Every
year, about two-thirds of the
students who enter the Trou
ihle Shooting Competition are
offered jobs in the automobile
industry.

RALEIGH - State
Employees are getting a hint
today. Signs are going up In
owned parking lots
reminding employees to fasten
then- seat belts. The move was
started by the Transportation
Department through Boyd
Miller, Administrator of the
Transportation Safety
program.
"The signs are a reminder
for workers to fasten their
belts, especially when they're
hi state vehicles on official
business. We hope the effect
Will rub off and the people will
wear then- belts when they're
in their private cars, too,"
Miller said.
Currently there are signs up
sps rerrdndb drivers
T
to fasten their belts, but this is
the first time such reminders
have been airmed at state
employees. "We don't think!
state employees need
reminding more than any other
driver," Miller said, "We just
feel that safety begins at
home." It is hoped that
municipal and county
governments would embark on
a similar program for their
employees.
Miller noted that the
emphasis was another part of
the overall Transportation
Safety program which includes
assisting local law enforcement
groups in obtaining speed
detection devices and the
general promotion of safety for
the public. ' . '
