$2 million for grading

to be first since land is already

first women's rights convention held more than
125 years ago. Black women have long been
engaged in the battle for equal rights for
women and the placing of the historic names of
Marian Anderson, Harriet Tubman and Mary
McLeod Bethune, points up the early history of
such struggles.
These outstanding black women leaders were
among the 20 women inducted into the
Honorary Hall who had made significant-and
indeed- in some cases- unprecedented
accomplishments in such diverse areas as social
work, politics, music, medicine, education, civil
rights, poetry, journalism and even aviation.
Most Americans remember Miss Anderson,
the only Black among the four living honorees
as one who has sung before kings, presidents
and the plain common folk. Many Americans,
especially blacks, recall also the disdain and
banning of Miss Anderson from singing in the
great Constitution Hall by the Daughters of the
American Revolution (DAR) and that historic

Abolitionist Harriet Tubman (1826-1913)
was the conductor of the underground slave
railroad and many accounts have been written
of her determined courage and intellectual
capability as she led many, many of the newly
freed slaves to freedom and somehow, remained
uncaptured by those who sought to kill her at
any costs.
Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune (1875-1955)
noted educator and for whom
Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona Beach,
Florida, is named will be remembered as an
adviser to the late Franklin D Roosevelt She
was also the first director of the National
Youth Administration, (NYA), a department
under the Roosevelt Administration which gave
many, many job opportunities to all young
people during the heart of the depression when
unemployment was at its maximum.

Justice Dept- Files First Police Job Bias Suits
WASHINGTON - The U. S.
Department of Justice filed its
first suits in August to expand
job opportunities for blacks in
police departments, Attorney
General Elliot L. Richardson
said recently.
The suits were filed against
the police departments of
Chicago, Illinois, and Buffalo,
New York, charging racially
discr im inatory employment
practices.
The Equal Employment
Opportunity Act of 1972
authorized the Attorney
General for the first time to
bring discrimination suits
against public employers..
'The Justice Department is .
Uo ' tWjlWfVllir" tire'
employment practices of
several other police agencies to
determine whether they are
racially discriminatory.
During August, the Justice
Department also filed suits
against four Chicago building
trades unions to make jobs
available for blacks and
Spanish-surnamed workers.
To date, consent decrees
have been signed by two of the
unions-- the Pipefitters and the
Sheet Metal Workers- requiring
the adoption of minority hiring
goals and timetables.
The Pipefitters local, with a
membership of more than
5,000 journeymen, has a
first-year goal of 150 new
black and Spanish- surnamed
journeymen and goals of 180 a
year for the next five years.
Pipefitters contractors
agreed to a proportionate
increase in employment of
minority persons.
The Sheet Metal Workers
local, which has nearly 5,000
journeymen, agreed to accept
approximately 150 new black
and Spanish- surnamed
members for each of the next
five years.
Prior to the entry of the
decrees, both of the unions had
fewer than 50 minority
journeymen members.
FAIR HOUSING
During August, the Justice
Department filed three new
suits to ena racial
discrimination in housing. All
were resolved through consent
decrees.
They included a 600-unit
apartment complex in
Cincinnati, Ohio; another 58
buildings containing some 750
units in Cincinnati; and a
recreational land development
in the Sierra Mountains of
California.
The decrees forbid the
owners from engaging in any
racially discriminatory practice
and reauire the adoption of
1
fair-housing programs to make
rental units and home sites
available to black occupants
n addition, a consent
decree was obtained in the
Justice Department's first
fair-housing suit against a
condominium apartment. It
prohibits owners of a
condominium in Houston,
Texas, from refusing to permit
the sale of an apartment to any
person whose offer to purchase
has been accepted by the
owner of the unit.
VOTING RIGHTS
The Justice Department last
month sought to intervene in a
private suit against the State of
Mississippi which challenged
the constitutionality of a 1962
state election law.
In the request to participate
in the suit, the Department
said the law was intended to
prevent the election of blacks
as city alderman in Starksville,
Mississippi, by requiring then
election at large rather than by
wards.
During August, the
Attorney General also objected
to six proposed changes in
voting laws in Alabama,
Georgia, Mississippi, and South
Carolina on the grounds of
possible racially discriminatory
purpose or effect
The objections under the
Voting Rights Act of 1965
prevent the implementation of
the new laws unless a federal
court in Washington, D. C
overrules the Attorney
General.
EQUAL EDUCATION
During August, the Justice
Department was involved in a
number of legal actions to
correct racially discriminatory
student assignment and teacher
hiring policies.
The Omaha, Nebraska,
school system was sued to
require it to develop and
implement a desegregation
plan, including the opening of
the new Martin Luther King
Middle School as an integrated
school.
Another suit was filed
against the Hazel wood school
district in the suburbs oi hi.
Louis; Missouri, charging
discrimination in the hiring of
black teachers.
Among court orders
obtained by the Department
during the month were two
calling for new student
assignment plans in Jefferson
County, Alabama, and the
Kinloch school system in the
St. Louis suburbs.
The Jefferson County order
requires the integration of a
number of previously all-black
schools. The Kinioch order
reauires the desegregation of
the all-black school district
which is surrounded by
Dredominantlv white school
systems.
PUBLIC FACILITES
During August, the Justice
Department filed suits to
prevent a night club in Texas
from doubling the prices of
drinks served to blacks and to
insure that a bar in Florida
served blacks on the premises.
The Department also sought
to participate in a private suit
challenging racial segregation

Representative John
Conyers, Jr. (D.Mich.),
Chairman of the Subcommittee
on Crime of the House
Judiciary Committee
announced recently that his
Subcommittee will hold
hearings on the "Community
Anticrime Assistance Act of
1973" on September 13, and
20, beginning each day at 10
a.m. in 2141 Raybum House
Office Building. This legislation
was introduced by Rep.
Conyers together with
Hamilton Fish, Jr. (R-NY), the
nnking minority member of
.he Subcommittee and
reintroduced by Rep. Peter W.
Rodino, Jr. (D-NJ), Chairman
of the Judiciary Committee.
The witnesses on September
13, will be the Mayor of New
York City, John V. Lindsay,
and the President of New
Detroit, Lawrence P. Doss. The
witness on September 20, will
be former Congressman James
H. Scheuer, president of the
National Alliance for Safer
Cities.
The focus of the hearings
will be to determine how the
federal government can best
encourage and assist the
involvement of citizens in the
criminal justice system in order
to reduce crime and improve
community relations. The
Community Anticrime
Assistance Act" would provide
federal assistance to local
governments, public agencies,
and nonprofit private
organizations for the purpose
of involving citizens in the
criminal justice system
The idea of citizen
involvement is not a new
concept and has in recent years
received support from three
presidential crime
commissions. Most recently,
the National Advisory
Commission on' Criminal
Justice Standards and Goals
said in its report, Community
Crime Prevention: "effective
crime prevention is possible
only through broad-based
community awareness and
involvement... Citizen
involvement in crime
prevention efforts is not
merely desirable but
necessary."
Numerous citizen programs
are operating successiuiiy in
cooperation with the criminal
justice system These, programs
range in scope from house
Watches to volunteer probation
programs. Many community
organizations have established
liaison councils with law
enforcement agencies and the
courts in efforts to create
better communication and
cooperation with the public
and improve the delivery of
cfiminal justice services. The
National Advisory Commission
surveyed hundreds of these
programs and now the
Subcommittee on Crime will
seek to find the means to
rlish federal, state, and
al support and
encouragement to innovative
community criminal justice
programs.
It is time that we give
serious consideration to the
growing phenomenon of
citizen involvement. The
police, courts, and our
correctional agencies cannot
bear the burden of reducing
crime alone. Only the
cooperation and concern of
involved citizens will insure the
revitalization of the criminal
justice system.
The "Community Anticrime
Assistance Act" represents the
initial effort of the
Subcommittee on Crime to
translate the recommendations
of presidential crime
commissions into legislative
reality. Further hearings on
this legislation will be held in
October.
The members of the
Subcommittee on Crime, in
addition to Chairman Conyers,
are Representatives Paul 8.

Civil Rights Attorney Named EEOC Head
WASHINGTON - (NBNS)
A 42-year-old veteran Civil
Rights attorney has been
named chairman of the Equal
Employment Opportunity
Commission by President
Nixon.
John H. Powell Jr., long
active in Republican politics
before coming to Washington,
will succeed William H. Brown
III who reportedly is in line for
an ambassadorship.
Since 1970, Powell has
served as general counsel to the
wUmSBT mfBf . m
yMplf 'BJ laRRaBBaRRS5 I mW
H 311 mmW&rj J - m
U.S. Commission hearings,
most recently those in New
Mexico and Arizona discussing
Indian rights.
The Howard University and
Harvard Law School graduate
said he would accept the
$40,000 a year post "because I
believe in the general thrust of
the administration" in the field
of equal employment
opportunity. His nomination
requires Senate confirmation.
Saying he. feels the
commission has already
"gotten off to an excellent
start" under its new authority
to enforce its findings of job
discrimination by employers,
Powell pointed out that EEOC
has filed more than 100
lawsuits against employers in
the last four months.
He said this power would
enhance the commission's
chances under his chairmanship
"to reach settlements without
having to press for decrees."
An unsuccessful candidate
for a post on the Federal Trade
Commission last year, Powell
was pushed for the new job by
Republican Senator Jacob
Javits of New York. Powell was
formerly counsel to former
New York state Assembly
speaker Joseph A. Carlmo and
chairman of the political action
committee of the NAACP state
branches in New York.
Powell agrees with much of
the thrust of the Civil Rights
Commission in opposing
President Nixon's position of
school busing.
He said he believes that the
finding of the U. S. Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals in the
Detroit busing cases is a correct
one. In that case the "court
ruled that political boundaries
should not be a bar if school
children are bused a reasonable
distance to effect
desegregation.
The Civil Rights
Commission has also taken a
strong supportive stand of the
court's action.
Powell, who went to
Harvard with the late Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr.,
defended lunch counter sit-ins
in North Carolina in the early
1960s and served as special
counsel for King's Southern
Christian Leadership
Conference.
He is married and has two
children.

In Virgin Island Slaying Denied

CH RISTI ANSTED V.I
(NBNS) The defense move for
a mistrial in the Fountain
Valley mass murder trial, has
been denied by U. S. District
Judge Warren H. Young on
grounds that the jury
deliberations have not been as
long as the defense alledged.
Defense attorney William
Kunstler charged that the five
days of deliberations have
already set a record, since they
have exceeded the
deliberations in the Harrisburg
trial of the Berrigan brothers.
But Judge Young said the
actual time of the jury's
deliberations have been only
24 hours and 30 minutes. He
also said Kunstler's allegation
that the jury foreman had
reported that the eight women
and four men were apparently
unable to reach unanimous
agreement on any of the 70
counts was false.
The five young Virgin
Islanders are charged with eight
counts each of first degree
murder, four counts of first
degree assault and two counts
of robbery.
Police have charged them
with the shooting oa the dining
terrace of the RockefeUtr
owned Fountain Valley course
Sept. 6 where eight persons
were killed and four others
wounded.
The defendants, who nap
in age from 22 to , are
professed Black Muslims.
