Beating The Energy Crisis
For some Americans, the
seriousness of the energy shortage will
not sink in until they contract a cast
of frostbite-in their living rooms. As
in any crisis, rumors and speculation
abound, and many are confused
and or skeptical about the warnings
being sounded. The simple truth is,
the danger is very real. It is not an
energy industry conspiracy.
The United States is short of
environmentally-clean fuels to meet
all of its needs, und the outlook for
the next few years is for more of the
same. However, such shortages will
not be permanent if the facilities
needed to develop, produce and
deliver more energy to the public can
be constructed. New facilities such as
nuclear power plants, offshore wells,
refineries, storage tanks, pipelines and
deepwater ports are part of the
answer. Energy spokesmen further
suggest that there be established a
coordinated federal energy policy
followed by a better balance between
environmental goals and energy
requirements.
Each of us can tackle the shortage
by conserving electricity and other
forms of energy while slashing heating
costs by: (1) Not overheating our
homes. (2) Sealing off cold air leaks
around windows, doors and chimneys,
(3) Turning the thermostat down if
leaving for the week-end or longer, (4)
Making sure the burner of the furnace
is correctly adjusted and serviced
regularly. If needed, consider an
investment in proper home insulation;
it could save up to 25 percent of the
home's total heating expenses. Even
more important, we should make it a
point to personally become aware of
the realities of the energy shortage
and urge our legislators to push for
development of new domestic energy
sources for the future.
Unlike a bad dream, the energy
shortage will not disappear overnight.
But it can be surmounted if an alert,
educated public demands action. The
final outcome rests with you.
Energy Crisis Hits Poor The Hardest
Poor consumers will pay the highest
price for the continuing energy crisis
which many persons in the "know
have labeled domestic stupidity.
It just seems most unfortunate that
all of us now find ourselves in a
situation where the American public
in general is primarily at the mercy of
the large oil interests and secondarily
at the graces of the Arab nations
Such preoccupation with the politics
of the Mid-East may have blinded us
to the clear reality of the domestic oil
producing problems.
An oil and gas shortage means more
to the poor than not driving on
Sundays, lowering the thermostats to
68 degrees and cutting down on the
electricity. For many, it means they
will be actually ill and dying from
cutting down on heat which can mean
t times, no heat at all Perhaps the
number of cases of pneumonia or
iifiuerJfunay well I rife !
Undlonte-who would normally
induce winter Waling temperatures to
increase profits will have larger
windfalls now It- the expense of the
poor. Any landlord can arbitrarily
reduce temperatures by citing his
inability to obtain oil from his local
supplier. Along with this threat comes
also the cheap, poorly constructed
heaters. Such sales have boomed in
past weeks and many were purchased
by the budget-minded poor.
Untold numbers of lives will be
needlessly lost through the misuse of
faulty equipment. Already reports
show the rising number of deaths
from gasoline misuse in cans and what
have you.
The fuel crisis, whether face or
fiction will entail more than just
federal regulation of the everyday
citizen's use of fuel. Oil suppliers
should supply the demand for oil and
regulate a minimum as well as
maximum temperature for apartment
dwellings.
Such protection must be geared to
the poor apartment dweller and poor
housing communities,. or ruthless
landlords - will prefj even more on
them

TV HAS A LONG WAY TO GO
Public television is supposed to be more
responsive to the needs of all of the people than
commercial TV, but as far as blacks and
minorities are concerned, it is definitely no
better and possibly worse. In fact, when you
oaeajsser that tax dollars of minorities help fund
public broadcasting, it becomes clear we are
getting precious In ik- return on our investment.
Public IV "' potential in creating
iugra mming geared to the needs of minority
. .immunities has never been fulfilled And in
the all important test of training, recruiting and
employing minorities at all levels of the
behind the tamer ;i jobs and especially
decssismHMkmjjbW pUbHc TV is a flop.
For example, only two blacks hold important
positions in the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting and neither has a strong say on
policy matters. Tius is not at all different from
most commercial stations and networks, but it
cannot be tolerated in a federally -funded
agency.
Overall, public TV's programming practices
rely on the time-tested ghettoization of
black-oriented programs. And the very few
public network shows aimed at blacks were
almost cut off altogether earner this year. In the
special programming category, only two
programs out of 143 hours dealt with blacks.
Out of 1500 hours of national pubic TV
programming, only 89 were devoted to black
people. Blacks are rarer than the test patterns
oapubacTV.
There are some signs that the Corporation is
beginning to try to change this destructive
pattern of black mvicibility on its screen , but it
k long way from expressing intentions to
carrying out substantial changes. And our past
experience has made us" wary of CPB's
hrtentions - at least until some results are
visible on the home screen and on the payrolls
of the Corporation.
Bbcfc support of public broadcasting it
conditional if it doesn't respond to the needs
of minority communities, we can tve without
. which IS dependent on
t
public funds, wiD have to wake up and begin
courting minority audiences if it wants to
survive. At the minimum it must:
: Increase Mack and minority programming
and insure its high quality content, not merely
filing in some set goal of hours.
: Tell its affiUaled stations to hire black
people and insure minority representation on
their boards. Non-compliance ought to mean
denial of the use of federally-funded program
material.
: Put its own house in order with more
adequate minority board and staff
representation, and create a department to
up-grade increased minority programming.
: Institute programs that explore race
relations in depth, investigate controversial
issues, and portray the rich ethnic heritage in
our pluralistic society .
While increasing minority-oriented
programming, avoid making such programs a
"ghetto" within broadcasting by drawing on
blacks and minorities for general programming.
This last is especially important. Community
theatre and dance groups are starved for funds
and could share their talents with a national
audience, but instead of backing them, public
broadcasting runs after old BBC films and
similar fare. Programming should show
ordinary minority people doing ordinary jobs,
such as on the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood
show, or as on Sesame Street, two public TV
offerings unusual for their first-class content
and their treatment of minorities.
Of course, all of the above holds true for
commercial TV, where blacks are only
standard comedies, or as guest performers on
variety shows, or when the script calls for a
black. Black newsmen are almost never seen,
unless interviewing a rare black guest on civil
rights.
But the many failures of commercial TV
notwithstanding, public broadcastiig has to set
an example .not follow a bad lead It is the TV A
of the broadcasting industry and has to use its
federal funds to set new, higher standards for
private sector interests to imitate.

, Nothing is more infuriating, man a columnist
who never gives the readers an opportunity to
write their views on passing events. Some of
them are imprisoned by stereotyped dunking
and some of them have steaming thoughts on
race, the subject of this column. Of coarse,
some few are capable only of calling names.
They thus contribute nothing to the
enormously demanding task of 200 milium
different people living together with something
approaching equality of opportunity.
How about crime? A California woman
writes: "A black is safe in a white
neighborhood. A white is not safe in a black
neighborhood Vr
Also from a California town -You state that
white people don't want black people moving
into their neighborhoods. Why? They object,
not because of color, but because of actions. 1
have moved twice in the past 10 years from
decent, middle -class neighborhoods because
tough, irresponsible blacks moved in and in a
rash of muggings, robberies and burglaries
followed."
Another says: "A Negro family bought a
home with a pool and they annoyed the woman
next door with their screaming and yelling all
hours of the night around the pool. Finally she
put her home up for sale."
And from Los Angeles: "I cannot understand
how the black people cannot realize why
whitey doesn't want to live with them. The
black people do not want to live by the rules of
society or laws of any kind. No, I am not saying
that all white people are angels - far from it. We
live on a lull, and down below the street is full
of apartments filed with blacks. The police are
there day and night and I am sure that 'police
brutality' did not bring aB of them there."

CHRISTMAS 73
"He was born in a dusky stable, the
son of the wife of a migrant carpenter
in a conquered, exploited land, and he
lived as a man of the poor, always
facing official hosility. But his impact
suffused the world, fired its ideals, lit
its hope. And the present era
dawned."
The promise and expectations
kindled by the birth of the infant
Jesus have burned in the hearts of
Christian men and women everywhere
for nearly 2,000 years. As
revolutionary changes in every field of
human endeavor rocked civilization,
Christianity also grew, molding its
tenets and rituals to the times.
Christmas, too, became a rich blend of
quaint customs over the
years-mistletoe, candy canes,
brightly-decorated trees, feasts of
turkey and mincemeat pie and, of
course, Santa Claus. But through it all,
Christ's message of love, brotherhood
and everlasting life continued to
inspire mankind.
This year, let us make a vow that
we will allow the Christmas spirit to
take root in each of us and grow there
year-round. For if every individual
would make a conscious effort, maybe
"peace on earth and goodwill toward
men" would become more than just a
dream.

When President Theodore Roosevelt decided without any

Then, joined by Senator Humphrey and Gmgressman Fraser.
with Ihe invaluable aid of Senator Hartke. I introduced legislation
that was designed to provide relief. The fruition of that effort is the

I THINK THAT THE passage of this legislation shows clearly
that justice can be done at least in substantial measure - in spile
of the passage of time and changing of event The correction of thif
historical wrong is strongly to (he credit of the Congress and of the

By Rhett Tanner
- WHAT'S BEHIND THE RISE IN FOOD PRICES
In a wheat deal with the U.S.S.R. the Nixon Adminsitration
allowed six giant monopolistic agribusiness corporations Carglll,
Inc., Continent hi Grain Company, Cook Incorporated, Ralston
Purina and others. The opportunity to make off with high profit-,
thus forcing the masses of people inside the United States to pay
drastically high prices for food. Seemingly, the motive by Nixon
was to bring the rich midwestern farmers over to his camp for his
re-election "72" campaign.
Secretary of Agriculture, Earl Butz, and Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, Charles Palmby, along with a team of wheat
negotiators to U.S.S.R. WhUe there they learned of the crop
damage and the magnitude of the problems. Upon returning to
the United States, the profit oriented representatives proceeded
to buy a large quanitity of farmer's wheat at a low domestic
price and giving little explanation to the public at the time. The
wheat was then sold to the U.S.S.R. for a higher world price than
ft had been bought, thus making a sizable profit from the deal.
Farmers who had not sold their wheat were then t old about the
United Statea-U.S.S.R. wheat deal. This notification rose the
domestic price higher than the world price. Through
maneuvering. Secretary of Agriculture, Earl Butz, made what
some observers feel was a illegal ruling that the six giant
monopolistic corporations could apply for export subsidies from
the government. Export subsidies is based on compensation when
the domestic price is low than the world price. This action lead to
a second ripp-off for the big corporations. Additionally, this
forced a sharp increase in the cost of wheat, therefore making
everything from bread, to beef to rise. The result being that poor
people in the United States pay for this ripp-off in two ways, in
higher prices for almost all food produced and In higher taxes to
pay for the huge subsidities payed to the grain corporations.

School Opens
In Memphis
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
Navy opened its race relations
school in Memphis, Tennessee
m ceremonies November 12.
The school is the final step in
the training of Navy race
relations education specialists,
and follows their initial
training at the defense Race
Relations Institute (DRRI) at
Patrick Air Force Base,
Florida.
The school will graduate
about 60 students per class.
Each class will last about four
weeks.
The purpose of the school is
to train Navy men and women
to conduct race relations
education programs
throughout the fleet and to
serve as race relations
consultants to Navy
commanding officers around
the world. The ultimate goal is
to eliminate individual and
institutional racism in the Navy
through race relations training
and racial awareness.
"The establishment of the
race relations school is one
more important step in
creating a unified Navy
