MESSAGE TO CONGRESS E&TO themtinuing dangers of lead to preschool black children emphasized again at the recent nee of government, university af, industrial scientists at its recent meeting coponsored by the National Institute of Environment Health Sciences and the Environmental ippbet ion Agency. f An estimated 600.000 American children suffer some degree of lead poisoning, including 6.000 with neurological disorders and about 200 or more die annually. For many years, groups from large urban areas have been pointing up the many cases of lead poisoning among young children as well as the continuing threat of such dangers in crowded housing areas based on non-maintenance of houses due to chipped paints- that is, children eating such chips of paint. Now the problem is found to also exist in rural areas as well. One only need to ride along to look at the disrepair of many houses in most rural areas. ,- These indices of lead poisoning by black pre-schoolers as shown in the recent survey of 25 urban and rural communities by children who show the symptoms was pointed up by the sampling which showed 9.1 per cent of black children under the age of 3 had elevated blood levels compared with 3.7 per cent for non blacks including whites. Puerto Ricans. Americans of Mexican descent and American Indians. . f Among ttafcfTccts of low-level lead toxicity citeq bjj the group of scientists, primarily from animal studies, were damaged muscle functions, changes in behavior, eye damage, hyperactivity, hearing loss, slowed or dulled learning and brain damage. Adequate housing as Well as continued maintenance and proper housing code enforcement has been a problem for years for low-income people in general. It has been and is still a special problem for many blacks: It is most unfortunate that the Administration has seen fit to cut all housing, for at least, some better houses would have been made available, for many low-income persons and blacks as well At least, the dangers, of lead poisoning for pre-school children might be somewhat alleviated with more new housing as well as with better older housing becoming available to many low income persons. WRK WITH THE congress mm RT TO ENACT LZ mcHuitxENom WU1NTARY01WI& FOR THE PURPOSES Political Alliances Built In Coafifion The leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus have said they have a commitment to promote the interests of black Americans even if it means forming coalitions with those that some blacks may have traditionally labeled as their enemies. . j This new stance by the Caucus can 'life, seen as progress, recognizing that compromise and accommodation make democratic government more possible. It is most difficult to have unified positions on any one issue. This every diversity of opinion is what helps to move up to a position of m agaw b analysis, synthesis and compart men taliat ion for the best and most effective solution to the issues involved. . Most decisions of necessity must voWre compromise and jTimSttfcpn if fruitful gains are to irffthe broadest perspective. Politics is education and education is politics played at its best if the great majority of blacks are to continue to move ahead in the 70V by learning and using real political influence after it has been won at all levels of government Happenings that Affect fhe Future Brothers, Sisters and Friends. Presently we are preparing another attempt to republish OOT newspaper the Burning Spear. The first Burning Spear, in newspaper form, was printed hi December of 1969. For two years the Burning Spear had a rocky existence as a bi-weekly publication (which actually means it was printed as often as possible, which was on an average of every three weeks). The problem with the Burning Spear in the past was the absence of a division of labor and all the problems associated with that absence. As you may know, the Burning Spear was originally an organ of the Junta of Militant Organizations (JOMO). same people, who were responsible for organizing the community. Hopefully, we Mill overcome that problem and will be able to keep to schedule and produce a better paper by having a professional staff, whoso main preoccupation will be the Burning Spear publication. . ; Presently, our organization is not without problems, and the decision to publish the Burning Spear came only after iqtense inter-party debate. However, it was finally decided that the Spear should begin publication as a montly, and. Work toward creating and maintaining its own resources, enhancing its ability to publish However, r-iat of Socialist more regularly. We plan to JOMO has become a jijj burning ge we AKJcan rpts pB;Wcatkn in October or Party and publication November lorobablv .-' -t, - , v . ,. -fFv- - - -w In response to demand, the U. S. auto industry, long ago, learned to build big, roomy, high-powered, comfortable cars capable of transporting a family and its belongings at high speed over the nation's long distance highways with great dependability and uniformity of performance. American automobiles, because of their size and power, came to be called "Big Yanks" in many western European countries following World War IL Now it appears that the days of the "Big Yanks," like the dinosaur of a bygone age, may be numbered-cut down in their prime by shortage of gasoline. During the summer months of 1973, growing numbers of new-car buyers, worried about essential family transportation, turned away from the big cats and began to buy on a basis of gas mileage. People traded big cars with their air conditioning, power steering, power brakes and 400 cubic inch engines for 4 and 6 cylinder economy models of foreign as well as domestic manufacture that they wouldn't even have considered driving a few 'short months ago. Major U. S. auto manufacturers and their dealers may face serious trouble if this massive swing away from the big car by the buying public continues in 1974. Many of the big cars have been rety led, some models have even bigger engines than those of 1973. Anti-pollution devices will be even more numerous, and presumably gas mileage will be worse. There could be a great surplus of unsold 1973 big cars and even .more of them in 1974. Traditionally, the industry's profits have come from the sale of expensive, large, luxury automobiles. There has been less markup on the economy modelsThis may have to change. The Wall Street Journal reports that in one recent . month, "...Detroit's sales of compact and subcompact cars rose 28 percent from a year earlier while deliveries of standard-size models fell 13 percent-Foreign economy cars are moving fast, too. Sales last month (June, 1973) rose 14 percent over the year-earlier period after a 24 percent increase in May." The key point is that lighter weight, smaller cars, particularly with 4-cylinder engines, really do get a lot better gas mileage than the traditional, palatial, "Big Yanks." Unless the gasoline supply situation changes dramatically for the better, this is a selling point that really can't be overcome: . of the Burning Spear will now become the task of the Party. In the past, the responsibility for publishing the Burning Spear was in the hands of the November), . At this juncture in our preparations we are nuking a special appeal to other publications' which might be friendly and aware of the need for an many progressive publications as possible in the struggle to liberate the people from corrupt and illegitimate . government. : To this extent we are requesting that any. and all resources you are able to share be made available to us.

This only lists some of the end results of the 1973 convention, there were many more interesting and necessary points brought forth during the convention. The Reverend Jesse Jackson, President, Operation PUSH, was the keynote speaker for the Welcome Luncheon held on Tuesday. Jackson began his speech to the delegation by saying, T want to challenge your minds today ." He said that it is often stated that a person has too much ego. He didn't think one could have too much -ego because ego was one - of the .. mtft I fnr success. In other words, with Machines, the right attitude there is no limiting the altitude one could rise. A case in nyou give a man with a sergeant's mind, an army, he will reduce it to a platoon and by the same token- give a man with a general's mind a platoon, be will turn it into an army. ' Lerone Bennett, Senior Editor, Ebony Magazine, Johnson Publishing Company was the Keynote Speaker for the; . Black Business Heritage . Luncheon held oh Wednesday. The Honorable, Parren J. Mitchell, (D-Md) United States Congress delivered the main address at the Annual Awards Banquet.

J0RDAJH Jit MINIMUM WAGE VETO HURTS POOR The veto of a bill raising the minimum wage and the House of Representative's vole to sustain that veto amounts to a powerful one-two punch against poor people. W'-M The bill would have raised the minimum wage from the ridiculously low $1.60 per hour to $2 now and $2.20 next year. It would have broadened coverage to include millions of people now excluded from federal minimum wage protection including domestic workers, government employees and wholesale and retail workers. The most abused sector of the tabor force, farm workers, would also have gained added protection. Just to look at the low amounts the bill would have mandated is to understand the callousness of the decision to kill it. A worker who gets $1.60 an hour for a year of full-time work winds up with a yearly salary well below the poverty level. The present $L60 was set back in 1968 and living costs have gone up to the point where a $2 minimum would still place the worker jn a situation where his new wage would buy less than the old minimum did five years ago. He would still be poor. . I simply cannot understand the reasoning that refuses to bring even this most elementary benefit to the poorest workers in the country. It has been charged that lifting the legal minimum would be inflationary and would throw people out of work. But that argument has been raised every single time the minimum wage has been reconsidered and it hasn't happened yet. Cries of inflation fall on very' cynical ears these days when prices are shooting into the stratosphere and unemployment and poverty are high. With all the phases and controls, thus mismanaged economy has been caught in the noose of inflation anyway and helping the poorest segment of the working population isn't going to have mlich effect on rising prices. A higher minimum and expanded coverage would have its greatest impact on the South, yet it wis primarily southern votes that sustained the veto. Every Congressman from Mississippi and Virginia' voted against overriding the veto. Just who do these men represent? They can't be thinking, of themselves as representatives of the people of their districts, who rank among the poorest in the country.- "... A lot of crocodile tears were shed over what would happen to workers if the minimum were raised and coverage expanded. Domestic workers, it was lamented, would be thrown out of work. Actually, what would happen is that domestic workers would no longer be as cruelly exploited as in the past. The same holds for farm workers and others.. A sticking point that killed possible compromises was the Administration's insistence that teenagers get a lower minimum wage than older workers.
