organized. They are encouraged by the antibusing stance of government officials of both the
Democratic and Republican parties. , ;

"In the past few weeks the
antibusing movement has
escalated its drive to keep the
schools segregated. They have
created an atmosphere of
violence - an atmosphere
identical to the one that
produced lynch-mob attacks
last year. This terror has been
taken INSIDE the schools.

the direction of antibusing

assaulting Blacks in the
classrooms and corridors, trying
to enforce their white only

violence.
"At the same time, the
Democratic party officials who
rule Boston are giving the green
light to the establishment of
segregationist private
academies for white students
who are boycotting the
schools.
"What is happening today in
Boston is not only a Boston
issue. It is a national
emergency. It must be
answered by a renewed
mobilization of all those forces
committed to defending Black
rights and the besieged Black
community in Boston.

BUSTS SUPERPOWERS
FOR SUPPLYING ARMS
' NAIROBI
(Hsinhua) - Arap Moi, Kenyan
vice-president and minister for
Home Affairs, in a speech last
week condemned the
superpowers for supplying
large quantities of arms to
independent African countries
in order to use Africans to kill
fellow Africans, according to a
Kenya news agency report.
Moi said the greatest
challenge to the independent
Africa today "is its ability to
stand on its own feet and exert
its influence on the world
affairs in the midst of
innumerable pressures from
external forces."
He called on independent
African countries to be fully
aware of this situation and act
collectively to avert any danger
to their independence.
Moi stressed self-reliance,
saying, "the more dependent a
nation is on foreign aid, the
more it is influenced by a
country to which it is
dependent."

PUSH AKD BLACK PRESS JOIN FORCES ON FBI MINORITY EMPLOYMENT
Reverend Jesse Jackson, board members of PUSH, and the president of National Newspaper
Publishers Association - the Black Press of America - held a series of meetings in the nation's
capital Monday through Thursday, visiting Clarence Kelley, director FBI; Attorney General
Edward Levy of the Department of Justice and President Gerald Ford in a concerted drive to
ascertain the Federal Bureau of Investigation's affirmative action program.
These meetings represented a continuing effort of the Black Church and the Black Press to
assume partnership roles in expanding the efforts and thrusts of Black Americans to participate
at all levels of the Executive Branch of the U. S. Government. As in all federal departments, the
majority of blacks in the FBI are in the lower grades, and less than one per cent of the FBI
agents are black.
While a different personality type from the late FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover, director
Kelley, former police chief of Kansas City, and a former FBI agent, reflects ths ingrained racism
