uwcmor." elect Hunt will
bring Dr. John R. Larkins from
retirement to become the
Special Assistant for Minority
Affairs and Special Projects, a.
job traditionally hefd by a
black person. Larkins, one of
two blacks who directed the
Hunt campaign in black
communities throughout the
state has advised the last ten
governors' excepting Republi
can Gov. James Holshouser in
a similar capacity beginning
in 1942 when he was employed
as Consultant on Negro work.
Larkins, keen on many
facts and figures recalls, that
In 1942 the number of pro
fessional blacks working in
State Government in Raleigh
as five, two of them were
secretaries. The remainder,
according to Larkins, were
employed as custodians and
laborers. The five blacks, which
includes Larkins, shared two
offices in the Delaney Build
ing on Raleigh's Hargett
Street. "The present employ-'
ment of blacks in state govern
ment, bettered by the tuber
lent sixties, is still not accept
able", Larkins said.
Questioned on his priori
ties, Larkins said he'll continue
to work to improve the situa
tion of blacks in the state
through "economics pure and
rimple". He said the "Hunt
administration will be pro
gressive, through which gains
for blacks can be made in
solving problems of education
and jobs." Asked how, Larkins
pulled out a study that he
authored in 1944 while em
ployed by the State Board of
Public Welfare, predecessor of
the Division of Social Services
of the Department of Human
Resources. The study entitled
the "Negro Population in
North Carolina, Social and
Economic" was a' collection
of facts about blacks in
North Carolina with suggested
solutions for the problems
of blacks which the study
traced back to the institution
of slavery.
Larkins contends that be
fore a course can be taken to
better the condition of blacks,
first that condition must be
identified and a plan developed
based on those findings.
He says that a study of the
black condition H i North
lina, ,is long . over oue.
According to . the Wilmington
native, the last comprehensive
study on blacks in North
Carolina commissioned by
state government, was in 1955
also authored by Larkins.
Seeing that a study gets done
will be his top priority.
Child Abuse Incidents
Running High in U.S.
Child abuse figures in
very state are astound
ing, observes extension
human development spe
cialists, North Carolina
State University.
There are 860 reported
cases of child abuse for
very one million children
in the United States. This
figure doeBn't include
cases of emotional abuse,
sexual molestation or
child neglect.
"These numbers don't
really tell the story," re
mind the specialists.
"These are reported cases.
Many are neve:' reported
because people aren't cer
tain, don't want to get in

to report to." v

Larkins will undoubtedly
help to. ' implement Hunt's
campaign promises to insure

patterns and how minorities
are discriminated in eacftrof
nine departments, and
hundreds of commissions, and
boards.
Larkins received a B. A.
degree from Shaw University,
the Masters of Social Work
from the Atlanta University
School of Social Work, and Ph.
D. from Columbia University
School of Social Work.
Also appointed to the
Governor's personal staff were:
Dr. Banks Talley, Jr., now vice
chancellor for student affairs
at N. C. State University, as
his administrative assistant;
Paul Essex, who has been his
administrative assistant as lieu
tenant governor, will serve as
special assistant with responsi
bilities including state-federal
relations; Welson Denny, who
served as special assistant to
former Governor Bob Scott
and as deputy commissioner of
labor, also will serve as a
special assistant with the
office's relationships with the
sided problem, the spe
cialists contend. It's a
medical problem, a psy
chiatric problem, a legal
matter, a social concern
and a family problem.
In order to effectively
treat abuse cases, a pro
fessional needs to be
aware of the factors in
volved and be knowledge
able and concerned
enough to begin preven
tion and treatment pro
grams. "Most parents want the
best for their children,"
the specialists note. "The
abusive parents, in most
cases, are simply over
whelmed with problems
and strike out. The child
is there."

a list of 230 blacks had been
prepared by him and Webb
which'he (Baker) forwarded to
Sharon "Cher" Brooks,

said that before he submitted
the names of the 230 black
leaders he was told that more
than 600 persons from N. C.
would receive invitations to
attend the inaugural parties.
Who cut the list and the
standards used for elimination
of names from the list is not
certain. Webb and Baker said
that they didn't know who
trimmed the list. Neither said
that they had a copy of the
initial list nor the final list
which both men say included
50 names of blacks.
"Cher Brooks", both men
said, "had a copy of the 50 in

and could not be reached for
comment.
Webb said that blacks who
want to attend the parties and

be able to get them from theu

During the period of the

reduce the number of "less

the NAACP in focusing

problem was the report of the

which was issued in 1972.
Nathaniel R. Jones,
