GLOBAL NEWS Sables Major General Francis S. Greenlief, Chief Nafl Guard Champions In Action t -. - Racing-It's A 'Demolition Derby Major General Francis S. Greenlief. Chief of the National Guard Bureau is being saluted for his efforts in changin g the National Guard's image. Until recently, the National Guard has had the appearance jjjrail' "white man's club," but that is changing as the Guard has increased its awareness of ''the black community, and in ;Pr initiated efforts to communicate what the Army and Air National Guard are doing to increase black ' participation. Within the last year, with efforts spearheaded by Gen. Greenlief, the Guard doubled ffili black strength with over 5.000 black enlistments. A quiet spoken, handsome man, Gen. Greenlief, a native of Nebraska, heads the only joint unit still under the Departments of the Army and Air Force. Because the Army and Air Guard units are under the jurisdiction of State Governors and not Federal authority. Gen. Greenlief cannot command any state Guard unit as would a commander but rather must make his achievements and gains with friendly persuasion and a firmness in the belief that he is right and that all Americans have an equal opportunity in the Guard and its Technician Program. He is getting results. To accomplish his goals, Gen. Greenlief is no "armchair general," but is out moving around the United States. He "recently attended the NAACP Convention in Indianapolis, and addressed the Council of Executive Directors of the National Urban League at then conference in Washington, to tell the story of the Guard and what it means to all Americans. Gen. Greenlief started his otmnaum in earnest in late - I o 1971. He has initiated intense discussions with the National Urban League Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, and the NAACP's Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The National Guard exhibit booth has been appearing at leading conventions such as the NAACP, National Urban League, Association of Black Social Workers, Association Cor the Study of Negro Life and' History, and is expected to be at other such gatherings. In January, Gen. Greenlief contracted the services of D. Parke Gibson, president of D. Parke Gibson Internation to provide assistance to the Guard Bureau and its advertising agency. While the Guard's budget is much lower than the other military services, monies are being spent with black-oriented magazines and through States in a number of black newspapers. In February, Gen. Greenlief appointed Mr. Lewis A. Jones, New Jersey educator as Special Assistant for Equal Opportunity to Chief, NGB. The Guard has an Affirmative Action Program, and Minority Affairs officers are being appointed in all State Adjutant General's staffs. Gen. Greenlief has met with Dr. Benjamin W. Wat kins, Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army and a prominent New Yorker (Locality Mayor of Harlem), to discuss greater involvement of the NGB in community affairs and recruitment of Vietnam veterans. Anyone else with such an overwhelming success story, such as that of getting 5,000 blacks to join the National Guard, would be pleased with these results and not press on. Anyone except Maj. Gen. Greenlief, who is still determined to change the National Guard's color. I Im (-tuition flan out, and drivroi hIow their cam during the riiimiiiK f tlx Winston 500 al Talladega, Alabama.

MAYOR LINDSAY BUYS 1ST TICKET TO MORGAN-GBAMBUNG GAME PEACH CROP The 1973 North Caro lina peach crop is fore cast at 30 million pounds. Production of this size would be 5 million pounds above last year's crop but 5 million pounds below that of 1971. The first ticket sold for the 3rd Annual Whitney M. Young, Jr. Memorial Football Classic went to New York's Mayor John V. Lindsay. The classic will be played at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, September 22nd and will pit traditional rivals Morgan State College and.Grambling College. Livingston L. Wingate, executive director of the New York Urban League, the sponsors of the charity game in conjunction with the Coca Cola Bottling Company of New York, made the sale to Mayor Lindsay. Various educational programs conducted by the New York Urban League will benefit from the game proceeds, along with the competing colleges. In previous Whitney M. Young, Jr. Football Classics, the New York Urban League took 50 of the profit, while Morgan and Grambling split the remaining 50. With Black colleges in financial binds and struggling to maintain their independence, the New York Urban League has decided to make this year's proceeds a one-third split, between the two competing schools and the New York Urban League. The two previous games were sellouts, filling Yankee Stadium to its 65,000 capacity. This year's game is already on its way to being a sellout also. Claude "Buddy" Young and Bernard Jackson, both of the National Football League, are co-chairmen of the game, the largest sports spectacular sponsored by Black People. Grambling College has won' the last two classics against Morgan State and in over-all competition, Grambling leads Morgan 4-2. Both schools are football powers and have sent numerous graduates to professional football, Tickets for the game are now available at the New York Urban League's offices, located at 2090 Seventh Avenue, New York City; Yankee Stadium; Ticketron outlets; Grand Central Station; and Urban League offices throughout the United States.
