DURHAM'S HOUSING PROBLEMS
I The continuing problems of
housing, and especially sub-standard
housing have been a problem area for
Durham as well as in most areas of the
country.
Discrimination in housing has been
a most elusive issue to prove, but
some restrictive parts have been
outlawed.
Most sub-standard housing in
Durham for many years, even before
Urban Renewal, was owned by two or
three black and white landlored. Since
an important part of the local
downtown power structure owned
much of the housing, according to tax
listings, code enforcement and
inspections were often sidestepped or
merely brought up to the very
minimum.
After much serious study and many
boycotts by low income groups and
other interested coalitiona, no further
public housing units were placed in
the East Durham and southeastern
sectors of the city.
The change within the Housing
Authority also brought about an
easing of the many racial tensions
from biased administration of the
housing unite. .
But the sub-standard housing
remains in many areas of the city.
This writer knows of one particular
poorly constructed house where at
different times children have been
burned to death and the house is
quickly, shoddily built and put up for
rent again.
Periodically the press of Durham
will attempt to pin point and highlight
the problem of sub-standard housing
Unfortunately, nothing much appears
to come from it.
It would seem that continued
pressure at all levels, regardless to
ownership, would combat some of the
continuing housing problems and
begin to make for a better housing
climate in Durham and elsewhere.

THINGS CHANGE AT UNIVERSITY
OF ALABAMA
George Wallace, governor of
Alabama, made the news again this
week when he placed the crown on
the Homecoming Queen, a 21 year old
black co-ed at University of Alabama.
Ten years ago, in 1963, Wallace
gained national note by standing in
the University of Alabama's
Administration buildings to keep Miss
Autherijfie Lucy, from enrolling as the
first black student under court order.
Prelintly, the University of
Alabaml has eleven black football
players on its team this year. Further,
George Wallace attended the Black
Mayors Conference in Tuskegee and
offered them his support in their city
administration and problems revolving
around the cities such as revenue
sharing, education and social services.
This appears to be a complete turn
about from his 1963 rabble-rousing
activities.
Yes, things change and time
marches on.
We hope that even more changes
will continue as the ugly roots of
prejudice appears to be knocked down
in all parts of the nation and the
world.
Jordan Says Black Citizens
Victimized if Federal Policies
VERNON JORDAN
Ltmm
Executive Director, National Xhkm
V union E. Jordan, Jr.,
executive director of the
National Urban League,
chargtonlght that black citizens
had been victimized by federal
policies amounting to "a Black
Watergate" that left "the hopes
and aspirations of black people
to 'twist, slowly, slowly, in the
wind,' and called on Congress
to take steps in three major
areas to 'avert a disastrous
vacuum.' "
Mr. Jordan spoke at the
National Urban League's
annual Equal Opportunity Day
Dinner at the New York Hilton
Hotel. The Dinner Chairman
was David Rockefeller,
Chairman of the Board, Chase
Manhattan Bank and NUL
President Donald H.
McGannon presented the Equal
Opportunity Award to former
NUL President, James A.
Linen. Mr. Linen, formerly
President of TIME Inc was
honored for his outstanding
contribution to the League
during his five years as
President, from 1968-1973.
Referring to the continuing
crisis in Washington, Mr.
Jordan stated; "Bl people insist
that the current crisis be
resolved, for while we lack the
vindincthreness some people
would consider
understandable, we know
above all that we have a stake
in a government that is stable,
that can govern, and that will
reverse those policies that have
been harmful to us. The
reforms we seek and the goals
we are fighting for depend in
buge part upon governmental
stability, public faith in the
governing process and in the
integrity of the courts and the
governing institutions. Weaken
these and you weaken the
prospects for change.
"With the Administration in
a state of paralysis and
incapable of offericonstructive
initiatives in the area of equal
opportunity, it becomes the
reaponsbUity of the Congress
to act on behalf of America's
minorities and her poor-the
ary people who have been
excluded from the rewards and
napnnsiliilitiri of our nation.
"I would suggest that if the
Congress wishes to avert a
disastrous vacuum of progress
in the coming years; if it wishes
to avoid having our nation
slink into its 200th anniversary
covered with shame and
humiliation, that it act boldly
in the following areas:
": Revenue Sharing. The
Congress should make clear its
understanding that revenue
sharing reflects an
unacceptable withdrawal of the
national government from
national issues that demand
federal involvement and
resolution. It should strangle
any attempt to shift the proper
responsibilities of the federal
government onto state and
local governments that have
demonstrated neither their
concern nor their capabilities
in dealing with these problems
of minorities and the poor.
And it should clearly label any
attempt to abandon a proper
federal role in key areas like
housing, manpower and health
as something that must be
'inoperative.'
": Welfare Reform. Reports
from across the country
indicate that welfare rare
shrinking and federal and state
ad m i n s itrators are
congratulating themselves on
doing such a good job in
cutting cots. Their satisfaction
concerned. Certain interim
laborcontract changes were
negotiated with the assistance
of Federal mediators John
Popular II, of Washington, and
Joseph P. Santa-Emma, of
Columbus.
The National Institute of
Occupational Safety and
Health is coordinating the
implementation of the new
safety program, with the
assistance of the Occupational
Safety and Health
Administration, the Ohio State
agencies, the union and the
company.
Among the remedial
measures are the wearing of
respirators in key areas,
rotation of workers requried to
wear respirators,
company-provided for eating
meals away' from the work
areas, and waiver of certain
labor contact provisions during
a 60-day test period.
Mr. Usery stated that he was
pleased the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service had
been instumental in bringing
the health agencies into
agreement on the best
scientific procedures and in
assisting the employer and
union to adopt them.
Elections Spur New '
Hopes Among Macks
BY LOWS MAK11N .
In the Chicago DEFENDER
Not even the most stubborn
black sourpuss could resist the ex
citement of the news from the po
litical front this week. Coleman
Young of Detroit, Clarence Light
ner of Raleigh, N. Car., and Ly
man Parks of Grand Rapids,
Mich., joined the growing ranks of
the nation's black mayors.
In the history of so-called ethnic
nolitics. the remarkable rise of the
insn to power in
the big cities
many years ago
led some political
scientists to as
cribe to the Irish
a special genius
for politics. Now
it is beginning to
appear that black
Americans have
shaBar gifts.
This reminds me of some of the
racist jokes about big cities 1
heard in my youth. One of them,
which was current in the late twen
ties, was that New York city was
"owned by the Jews, controlled by
the Irish and enjoyed by the Ne
groes." A lot of water, some of it
filthy, has flowed over the dam
since those benighted days.
We are in the midst of a phen
omenal political period. Black
Americans who so recently seemed
to despair of ever overcoming ut
ter powerlessness are winning ma
jor elective offices. Some of the
victories, as in Raleigh last week
and in Los Angeles not long ago,
have come from the support of
large white majorities in addition
to their black support
The cynics, however, are still
with us and they are still asking
what do these political victories
mean to the rank and file of
blacks: There are at least a hun
dred answers to that question.
Many of us recall Senator Ed
Brooke's comment on this subject
at the annual dinner of the Con
gressional Black Caucus in Wash
ington a few weeks ago. He said:
"Americans respect and respond
to political power. Political power
influences public policy at all lev
els. Power changes people. If pow
er does not at once change the
hearts of men, it can indeed
change the way the hearts respond.
Laws can help encourage people
to rethink and change their posi
tions in order to protect their self
interests. Often we forget, for instance,
that the elected public officials
hire and control the police and the
whole law enforcement system of
the nation. All of us are familiar
with vast appointive powers of the
elected officials. Further, the elect
ed officials supervise and direct
the collection and expenditure of
all nubile moneys.
It is said that there are two kinds
of dollars, the public or tax dollars
and the private dollars. Some of
us complain that those tax dollars
M i '
multiply faster than any dollar
should.
Nevertheless, these public dol
lars controlled by elected officials
have built all the roads and high
ways, the streets and city struc
tures and the costly instruments of
war, from supersonic planes to nu
clear submarines. Billions of pub
lic dollars exceeding the riches of
any nation on earth are in the
hands of those we elect to public
office.
Historically black Americans
have been economically short
changed. We nave had limited ac
cess to private dollars and until
recently almost no access to pub
lic dollars. By climbing the politi
cal ladder and capturing important
seats of power black Americans
are beginning to change the pic
ture. It is trite to say that we have a
long, long way to go. The point to
note, however, is that at last we
seem to be on the way. In some
respects fortune may favor us af
ter all. We have been so effectively
excluded from the high precincts
of political power that we have not
been infested with the virus of
Watergate. v! j
Blacks, of course, hive no im
munity from this disease. Never-;
theless, at this "point in time" all
the major political crooks who are
making history today are lily
white. They have come close to
wrecking the country. The time
. has come for black Americans to
rescue the nation.
Should Nixon Resign
to a lesser extent.
The spate of worker
illnesses caused some 700
members of the 950 man
bargaining unit of Textile
Workers Union Local 487 to
leave their jobs for two
months. They returned a week
ago following adoption of the
new safety program.
Some five health agencies,
two Federal and three
representing the State of Ohio,
had been investigating the
disease, which they described
as unique. Some of the workers
most severely afflicted
developed muscle weakness to
the extent they could not even
torn a door knob.

BY BAYARD RUSTTN
The most distressing thing about
the governmental crisis which has
engulfed America is that the
President does not seem to recog
nize that a crisis in fact exists. In
stead of facing the issues involved,
he obscures them, projecting him
self as the victim of a malicious
press and questioning the motives
of Special Prosecutor Cox. He per
sists in the policy of concealment
and subterfuge that has marked
the Administration's response ever
since the time, many months ago,
when Nixon supporters dismissed
the Watergate break-in as a "cap
er." Neither the President's ac
tions nor his words suggest an
awareness that withholding poten
tial evidence from a criminal pro
secution represents a blatant dis
regard of basic democratic and
constitutional principles.
The (institution demands that
the President "take care that the
laws be faithfully executed." This
is an absolute responsibility, not
subject to individual whim. And
yet the President has chosen to
ignore this responsibility, submit
ting neither to its spirit or letter
until forced to bend by the bipar
tisan outrage of the nation.
This is particularly unsettiinjij&.
bllcks, since ottr civil liberties de
pend above all else on the Presi
dent's determination to enforce the
law, regardless of his political
philosophy. Although opposed to
the 1954 Brown decision, President
Eisenhower ordered federal troops
into little Rock - when Governor
Faubus defied court desegregation
directives. Had he placed his na
tural impulse above the obligation
to ensure that the law is carried
out, Eisenhower would have set
back the civil rights movement for
years to come, while destroying
h ie-.K-rai system ot gc
By surrendering the tapes to
Judge Sirica, the President has
done Utile to allay the worst fears
of Americans. There are still un
answered questions, and the Presi
dent has made it abundantly clear
that, short of another judicial con
frontation, he will not provide the
answers. These questions suggest
broad implications about the func
tioning of democracy. The ITT
case, for example, calls to ques
tion whether national policy was
being formulated on the basis of
law, or was determined by the
. promises of campaign contribu
tions. Then there are the questions
about the President's land transac
tions and other personal financial
dealings; whether the President
was taking advantage of nigh of
fice for personal enrichment . ,
To prejudge these cases before
the proper officials have examined
all the facts would do an unconsc
ionable injustice to the President
and to our system of law. The di
lemma facing Americans is that
the President will not cooperate
with a full and impartial investiga
tion, thus thwarting the only means
of removing the cloud of suspicion
which hovers over bis office. As
the AFL-CIO said, in calling for
the President's resignation:, "When
the President appears fearful of
facing a Supreme Court composed
in large measure of bis own ap
pointees, the public can scarcely
resist the darkest speculations."
The crisis which the President
. has brought upon himself and the
nation has multiplied and deepened
our problems. Our domestic policy
can be summed up in one word:
"veto." Our foreign policy is suf
fering at a time it can least afford
to suffer.
I do not contemplate the possi
bility of the President's resigning
or his impeachment with any feel
ing of elation. Nor do I call for his
removal from office because of
political differences, profound as
they may be.
The fact is, however, that the
President no longer has the ability
to govern effectively, nor the mor
al legitimacy to guide the course
of the nation.
The only principled alternative
left is for him to resign, and spare
the country a protracted, agoniz
ing period when we would be, I
fear, without a leader. And if
Nixon fails to resign, I feel it is
incumbent on the Congress to in
itiate impeachment proceedings.
Should the President ultimately
leave office, Congress would be
then well advised to consider the
appointment of a bipartisan gov
ernment, with the two major par
ties sharing the presidency and
vice presidency, as has been pro
posed by Sen. Inouye of Hawaii.
I believe that the resignation of
Richard Nixon would serve the
genuine interests of the United
States, for this country cannot ab
sorb the almost daily crisis which
the President seems Incapable of
averting. As I write this, the White
House has announced that the two
most important tapes never exist
ed; already there is speculation
over whether this is part of the
President's efforts to cover-up
wrong-doing. Because of the pat
tern he has established, every
move the President makes evokes
suspicion and cynicism. We cannot
endure this for three more years.
Lyndon Johnson was elected
President in 1964 with a mandate
in all respects as decisive as that
Nixon received in last year's elec
tion. Four years later, having com
piled a record of unprecedented
domestic accomplishment, Johnson
declined to seek re-election, not
because of any impropriety on his
part, but because he was convinced
that to do so was in the best in
terests of national unity and world
peace. If Lyndon Johnson, under
the attack of a small though high
ly vocal minority, was capable of
an act of high statesmanship, it
is not presumptuous . to expect
Richard Nixon, having lost the con
fidence of the overwhelming ma
jority of Americans, to take the
i same difficult step.
..t.,,k uHtiMi narties are nowhere mentioned in
the written Constitution, the two-party sysem has become
a major stabilizing influence in the nation's conduct of
constitutional government.
The knowtodge of the party out of power that It can
reasonably look forward to holding office again serves
to temper public passions on any given iwe and to keep
alive a common sense of stewardship for the long-term
public interest The knowledge of the party in power that
its actions and policies face critical examination by the
political opposition and a future judgment by the elec
torate serves to keep power democratic and responsive.
The many-sided Watergate scandal U a severe test of
the two-party system because Watergate Is a uniquely
political icandal. involving as it does corruption and
lawlessness at the highest levels of the Government
Some of the wrongdoing was directed against the
opposition party; some of the wrongdoing was aimed
at Perpetuating a political faction in power. And some
wrongdoing was directed against ordinary citizens who
protested against or disagreed with various Administra
tion policies. Coming on top of all this was a cynical
cover-up coordinated at the White House and involving
perjured testimony, the destruction of incriminating
evidence and the payment of "hush money."
As a result of these grave and repeated abuses of
poUtical authority and the many lies told to conceal
them, the confidence of the people in their elected
officials and in the integrity oi uw .
profoundly shaken. How to restore that confidence?
In facing up to that inexorable question, the Republi
can party has the primary responsibility, one which its
leaders in Congress and in the nation have scarcely
begun to discharge. Indeed, too many Republican party
leaders continue to reiterate the unctuous and silly argu
ment that Watergate has nothing to do with the
Republican parly and that it was all perpetuated by that
disowned and illegitimate orphan, the Committee to
Re-elect the President, that argument will not wash.
President Nixon is the symbol of Watergate. Mr. Nixon
has three times been the Presidential nominee of the
Republican party. The committee to re-elect him was
the central effort of loyal Republicans across the nation
in the 1972 campaign. Numerous Republican candidates
for Federal and local office benefited from the magnitude
of his electoral victory. In short, Mr. Nixon is the leader
of the Republican party and the head of a Republican
Administration. The question is: What are Republicans
going to do about him?
They cannot shift the burden to the Democrats. The
President and his allies have tried to spread the idea,
that the public indignation over Watergate is really just
an underhanded attempt to rob Republicans of the fruits
of their 1972 victory. The charge is laughable on its face.
The Democrats in Congress under the leadership of
Speaker Albert and Senate Majority Leader Mansfield
have been extraordinarily circumspect and passive
throughout this crisis.
To be sure, the Democrats initiated the Ervin inves
tigation; they have most reluctantly begun consideration
of impeachment proceedings in the House Judiciary
Committee; and they support pending bills to place the
office of special prosecutor under protection of the
courts. But those three actions are the minimum that
any opposition party could have taken.
Moreover, the sentiment among Democrats in Congress
is overwhelming that if Mr. Nteon is removed from office,
his successor should be a Republican and one broadly
in accord with the Nixon policies, in that conviction,
appear Ukejy ito Represenuuve i-ora
'esideni-JM imaging information is forth-
"SSfSISffii hi? character of competence.
Against this background Republicans have no excuse
to pretend that Watergate is just a partisan donnybrook.
Mr. Nixon has destroyed his usefulness to his nation
and his party. He should resign. As long as he refuses
to resign, the House should move expeditiously to draw
up articles of impeachment against him. At this critical
juncture, Republicans can no longer dodge their respon
sibility to decide where their own duty lies.
To their credit, some Republicans have met the
question squarely; but far too many Republicans are
still looking for an easy way out The conservative
establishment of the Republican party continues to
extend Mr. Nixon its support. The business and financial
communities that paid for his campaigns on an ever
more lavish scale have been publicly silent.
If the Nixon problem Is not resolved, the executive
branch of the Government will limp along, crippled and
discredited, for another three years. If the Nixon problem
is not resolved, the Republican party will suffer a
political holocaust in the 1974 and 1976 elections. The
time has come for the honorable leaders of the
Republican party and its influential adherents to assume
the burden of leadership, painful though it may be, that
inevitably accompanies political power and influence.

VETS QUESTIONS I ANSWERS
EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans
and their famines are asking
thousands of questions
concerning the benefits their
Government provides for them
through the Veterans
Administration. Below are
some representative queries.
Additional information may be
obtained at any VA office.
n.Q'-Are WW II veterans
eligible for pensions? I'm 65,
and my wife and I need more
than the $3,000 annual income
we now live on. I served in WW
II, but I wasn't wounded.
A-Any 65-year old veteran
who served a minimum of 90
days and received an other
than dishonorable discharge is
considered permanently and
totally disabled for pension
purposes. As a married man
with your income, you could
be eligible for $69 per month
pension at current rates.
QWhen a veteran who dies
of service connected causes is
buried in a private cemetery,
will the Veterans
Administration pay the $150
plot allowance in addition to
the $800 allowance for funeral
expenses?
A-No. The $800 payment is
for all funeral costs, including a
burial plot. However, if death
occurs in a VA facility, an
additional amount if payable
to transport the deceased to
place of burial.
Q--Is it true that veterans no
longer have to apply for
certificates of eligibility for
education and training
benefits? I hear that the
Veterans Administration mails
them to veterans so that they
no longer have to apply in
person. Because I didn't apply
when I got out two years ago,
will VA send mine through the
mail?
A Tim new system is keyed
to the list of dischargees now
being furnished by the
Department of Defense.
Because you were discharged
before the automatic system
was established, it Will be
necessary for you to file
application for your benefits at
the local VA office.
Q-An explosion killed my
son during military service in
Vietnam, and his body was
never recovered. Will the
Veterans Administration
provide a memorial marker?
A-Yes; : The memorial may :
W ''TJrebflftf p rWaW'1
cemetary in a plot provided by
the applicant, or in the
memorial section of the
national cemetery. Apply to
the nearest VA office.
Q--The Veterans
Administration is giving my
daughter dependents'
educational assistance based on
the service connected death of
my husband. Since she plans to
marry soon, I wonder if this will
affect her assistance?
A-Your daughter's marriage
would have no effect on her
education benefits. A widow's
remarriage under the same
program, however, would
result in termination of
benefits, unless the remarriage
was terminated by death or
divorce. o ,
Q-My husband was killed in
action during World War II,
and I never remarried Am I
eligible for a Veterans
Administration GI home loan?
A-Yes. The Veterans
Housing Act of 1970 restored
unused, expired loan benefits
to veterans of World War II and
later periods, including their
unremarried widows.
Having A Child
Isn't Risk Free
Each day in' the United
States, two women die, not of
disease or of old age, but as
the result of their becoming
pregnant.
Whether during the months
before childbirth or m the re
covery period after, almost
800 women lose their lives an
nually due to, pregnancy and
its aftermath. '
This sad truth' is revealed
in the Government's official
Vital Statistics Report, which
notes that being born is haz
ardous business for babies,
too. Well over 100 newborn
infants a day 60,000 a year
fail to make it.
One might shrug and say
"that's life" except for the
ironic fact that so large a
number of pregnancies are
unwanted to begin with.
Enjoyment of water sports
-the favorite summer pastime
for millions of Americans re
quires respect for common
sense safety regulations. And
these regulations should in

LET'S ASK THE YEAST PEOPLE
As cool blustery winds
blow autumn leaves about,
more and more homemakers
are busy in warm kitchens
baking homemade bread. But
many have never used yeast
or kneaded dough, so they
have questions.
To make it simpler for first
time bakers the test kitchens
of Fleischmann's Yeast devel
oped the Rapidmix Method
for making bread. It makes
dough easier to handle and
speeds up the whole process.
Active dry yeast is mixed with
some of the other dry ingredi
ents. Liquids are heated to
very warm (120-130F.). An
electric mixer is used to com
bine ingredients which helps
start the action of the yeast.
One question the novice
might have relates to knead
ing. It does take a little know
how. Start by forming the
dough into a round ball. Fold
it toward you with the finger
tips of both hands. Then with
the heels of your hands, push
the dough away from you
