And what ever happened to the "Urban Crisis" that was so vividly ar- Loumy: of thJ National Advisorv on Civil Disor- . George DELAYED DEVELOPMENT FOR DEPRESSION There ,is too much slack still remaining in the economy to worry about inflation. Presi dent James Earl Carter's pro posed, economic package will give a delayed development sti mulus to depression hit areas. The economic stimulus package provides less than five per cent of the total money to be spent to increase public ser vice employment. In fact, only about half of the entire assum ed $30 billion budget boost is to be used during the coming year. The fiscal year 1977, for which President Carter is con cerned about starts on July 1, 1977. There are 13 civUian federal employees for every 1,000 Americans. The lowest ratio since President . John- and bombers. '. : It represents an increase of 12 per cent from current spending of $983 bUlion. The increase in this defense budget in one year is at least twice as much money as President Car ter is proposing for increased public service employment. During the campaign, Pre sident Carter put equal em phasis on two goals (1) creat ing more jobs and (2) balanc ing the budget. The appointment of busi nessmen to the cabinet is a clear indication of the Presi dent's intent at least to balance the budget. The first indica tion of the sell out on jobs came a few months ago with the long-term unemployment goal. Blacks and other unem ployed were informed that it some other punishment tor these so-called capital offenses." He continued saying "I think that the members of the House and Senate wUl make that policy matter on their own without regard to what the contents of this bill may be. It could be very well some procedural safeguards added to this bill " : , The North Carolina Alsso cation of Black Lawyers at its last meeting discussed the lack JaUs and Prisons that analyzed the Florida death penalty sta tute which is nearly identical to the proposals introduced . . .. vi l; into tne Norxn carouna cha d General Assembly. ine i These questions continue to emerge and hopefully nag at the conscience of members of the new Administration with determining social policy, designing legisla- r, . ..L-1J C1S """"" 1 supreme couri upnciu rn tio and change da's statute which Juries wm J considerations of mitigating .., "Jf A : .....n.cttfirai " 1,1 lit sua that are considered before a there is change in the air. One gets the feeling that spring is just around the corner for all those interested in improving the human conditions of all Americans via a new federal initiative. It's not surprising that this feeling of hope and anti cipation of a new day abound considering the fact that the Nixon Administration in 1969 removed civB rights, poverty and welfare reform off the national agenda, a policy that was continued under President Gerald Ford. Seven years later these social ills identified in the 1960's continue to fester and poison our society. In fact the problems are in some ways even more difficult today not simply because they have been simmering during a long period of inattention but also many of the quickie, instant social reforms with endless ammunition. Granted, the Administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson launched the most ambitious set of federal programs designed to uplift folks out of misery and disadvantaged status in the history of the United States. However, when one looks at the amount of money spent and the limited time allotted these program efforts, it be comes quite dear that what really happened....In retrospect many of us who were caught up in the rhetoric of a "War on Poverty feel that it would have been more accurate to describe that uplift effort as at best, a skirmish. The word coming out of Washington, these days indi cates that more money wiH be available for human services in the area of mental health, ser vices to the handicapped, family planning, along with programs designed to produce more jobs for disadvantaged unemployed young people. Indeed this is good news, ing its life span to insure it will fail. Unfortunately, we have seen the effects of "benign neg-, feet" and what it has done to our cities, our youth, the dis advantaged and the poor. We can look to President Carter's team of "competent managers" to approach the problems of social pathology with a realism that there are no simple solu tions to complex problems. Considering the fact that we just lost seven crucial years via "benign neglect" brings to mind the folk wisdom of pro fessional gamblers that says, "Catch up and win is a hard game to play." We hope that this new Administration wfll afford us an opportunity to catch-up and win in our fight against racism, bigotry and inequality in the richest and strongest country in the world (NNPA).
