Task Force Chairman Donald A.

Donations will be tax deductible and con tributors will receive full insulation from the Federal Communications Commis sion's multiple ownership rules.

Two types of contribu tions will be solicited: direct (cash) and guarantee. Cash contributions will be for immediate vuse as equity or low cost loans and a guarantee would be payable only in the event of a default by a minority firm whose loan had been guaranteed by the trust. Those wishing to make a contribution over a period of time will be encouraged to make a more sizeable contribution . in the first year with a pledge of specific sums 6f money for the suceeding years.

RALEIGH -"Black wo men's lack of support for the Equal Rights Amend ment is due primarily to three deep-seated myths that they are still struggling with about themselves." This is the major focus of two published articles on the issue by Ms. Sylvia Crudup Cole.., v, :?

SYLVIA COLE have done little to support the amend ment because of uncertainty about themselves and the roles they are expected to play as Blacks and as women. . The Equal Rights Amendment is an attempt to rectify past injustices and ' ies I ! ie eylAs for black worhen, however, their injustices have been, even more obvi6us because they have had to overcome various myths . while securing decent jobs with decent pay. For southern afford women opportunit t'o . oar take i ofTI Si Jfruits of a Derhocfi black women especially they have had to work to overcome both racism and sexism while plaqued with the bigger task of pressing for rights as women and finding ways of being supportive to southern black men who have recently gained access to positions of real authority in fair numbers. However, minority people and non mjnorities can benefit from each other's involvement in activities geared toward passage of ERA. Further, says the writers, the issues of ERA are, consistent with the needs of black women such as more and better jobs, credit, fair handling of rape cases, equality of opportunities an many other , very pertinent con cerns. Stressed in the articles also is the fact mat men, and black men particularly, must continue to fight to reduce sexism against, women as- well at seluan in their ownliveSTlily must see that full benefits of ERA would increase and expand the availability of minority men and women who could move into higher level, decision-making positions.
