HIGH POINT - Black
businessman Robert J. Brown,
former aide of President
Nixon, has denied any
wrongdoing in connection with
government contracts to two
firms he partly owns.
"The only comment I have
is I'm sure it doesn't put me in
any kind of bad light," he said.
"It's the policy of the
government to get black-owned
companies or maybe
companies owned by poor
whites into the mainstream."1
He said reports that he
pressured the Small Business
Administration into approving
contracts for black businesses
were not fair.
"They're trying to put me
in the position to being a bad
guy," he said. "It's bad that
some black got several hundred
thousand dollars of contract?"
It was reported last week
that Brown, who quit his

ROBERT J. BROWN
February, had been listed as a
part owner of two firms
certified by the SBA for
sizeable government contracts
earmarked "for the socially
and economically
disadvantaged.''
The firms are Cades Services
Inc. of Santa Ana, Calif., and
B&C Associates, a High Point
public relations firm.
"It's hard to get business for
a small business, extremely
hard," Brown said. "If small
business don't have something
to fall back on, they're going
to be out of it.
"I wish you'd mention that
up to 1968, small businesses,
including - those owned by
blacks, were not helped in any
substantial way," he said.
"Everybody knows that
nowhere in the nistory of the
$( billion contracting by the1
federal government were blacks
ever helped until recently. Now
that's a great tragedy, if
someone wants to talk about
tragedies."
Asked whether he felt he
fell into the "socially and
economically disadvantaged"
catagory, Brown replied:
"That's a matter of
determination for the SBA.
And the determination was
made years ago that blacks,
Spanteh-speaking and other
minorities, by and large, were
disadvantaged, unless your
resources were a million dollars
or something. Because most
black never had an opportunity
to go into these things,

WASHINGTON, D.C., -In a
hard-hitting statement before a
Congressional subcommittee,
Thomas S. Kleppe,
Administrator of the U.S.
Small Business Administration
said today that recent charges
and allegations concerning the
SBA were prompted by
political animosities rather
than a genuine interest in
helping improve the agency's
service to small business.
Kleppe told the
Subcommittee on Small
Business of the House Banking
and Currency Committee
which is conducting hearings
on SBA operations, "I believe
your Subcommittee has been
deliberately misled, that these
hearings are being used for
purposes that have nothing to
do with helping us serve the
small businessman better."
Kleppe asserted that the
charges and allegations
concerning a number of SBA
officers, speifically the
Richmond, Virginia office,
were prompted by the former
director of the SBA
Philadelphia office, Russell
Hamilton, to "direct attention
from the FBI and Grand Jury
Investigation of his
(Hamilton's) own office."
Acknowledging that,
problems do exist m the loan
portfolio of the Richmond
office and that improvements
can and are continually being
made in agency operations,
KtoDDe avowed. "SBA and I
have nothing to hide."
Kleppe said he was outraged
bv the statement that
corruption was pervasive "from
top to bottom." "This is an
indictment of 4,000 loyal,
hardworking employees and I
resent it," he said.

Plans to Appeal
Decision In the
Memphis Case
MEMPHIS - NAACP
attorneys have announced that
they will appeal last week's
ruling by a Federal appeals
court here which refused to
grant expanded school
desegregation and busing. The
announcement followed the
refusal of a three-judge panel
of the Sixth Circuit Court in
Cincinnati to overthrow an
order by Appeals Judge Robert
McRae, Jr., which was brought
about the busing of 25,000
students and left 25 all-black
schools.
"This plan, approved by the
Court, is offensive and In our
opinion unconstitutional,"
NAACP GeneraJ Counsel
Nathaniel R. Jones said in New
York, "because it relegates
21,000 black children to
segregated schools. It fails to
eliminate the vestiges of
segregation root and branch."
In Memphis, Atty. Louis
Lucas said, "We will definitely
appeal to the United States
Supreme Court and we will
