Observed
Minutes after landing in
New York City from his
controversial trip to South
Africa, Reverend Jesse
Jackson of PUSH attend
ed an overflowed press
conference at the United
Nations Church Center.
Jackson reported that
he had been invited to
South Africa by the South
African Council of Chur
ches and the United Con
gregational Church. The
purpose of the trip, which
brought together forces
that were meeting for the
first time in ten years, he
said, was to set up a
framework for peace and
operational unity in the
struggle against apartheid.
During the seventeen
days' sojourn, Reverend
Jackson said he visited
five major cities and
townships in South
Africa, including two trips
to So wet o. In each place,
he met with officials of the
government, American
and South African
businessmen, clergymen,
workers, students, banned
writers and members-of
the . Black Consciousness
Movement, and others.
He said he sawthe.
unbelievable conditions in
which twenty million
tack Africans live, poof
ousingriacinjrsaMarf
facilities, .no fights, no
vote, rio citizenship,, low
wages or no wages- Social
ly, he explained, they are
''untouc.hableV'7. and
religiously they arc con
sidered to be'God'S
mistake."
He said, however, that
while "blacks are at the
bottom of the ladder, they
are down, but not out."
He expressed the thought
that apartheid will end in
our lifetime, pointing to
the very spirit of the peo
ple, who say "We must re
main alive and alert as a
nation,"
Reverend Jackson fur
ther said that black
Americans must support
the stuggle against apar
theid and that "it is not up
to us to say whether it
shall be violent, or non
violent; it is up to us simp
ly to support it."
Jackson stated that

Secret communications
between two U.S. am
bassadors and the
Secretary of State tie U.S.
diplomats to foreign and
domestic spying in a very
revealing link, says Tim
McGloin, spokesman for
the North Carolina
Friends of the Filipino
People.
The high level com
munications from two
former ambassadors to
Iran, Richard -Helms and
William Sullivan, to then
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger delayed warn
ings that the Shah of Iran
would expel U.S. spies,
CIA agents, from Iran if
actions were taken by the
U.S. against criminal ac
tivities of Iranian spies.
Those communications
were contained in a secret
report which also outlined
illegal activities in the U.S.
by intelligence agents of
Chile, the PhillipineS,
Taiwan,-the Soviet Union
and Yugoslavia. The yet
secret report was leaked
by columnist Jaqck
Anderson. ? " r

awakened by a loud knock
on the door about five
o'clock on the morning of
July 31. After peeking out
of the window, she says
she saw police cars and
thought there must be
some emergency in her
family.
Three police officers
had a warrant for the ar
rest of Ronald Bruce
Peace, brother of Miss
Joyce Peace, She said she
told police her brother
didn't live at her apart
ment and they asked to
search the premises.
"She refused us entrance
to check premises for
Robert Peace," Sgt. D.D.
Paschall reported on his
arrest sheet. "Sgt. Blalock
asked the BF (black
female) numerous times
for admittance, but she
refused. Upon Lt. Day's
arrival he explained to her
that we had information
Robert was there and that
we had two warrants on
him for his arrest. Lt. Day
asked her to step aside,
but she refused. Upon Lt.
Day's orders we entered
the apartment."
Search and Seizure Law
Generally, North
Carolina statutes and the
Constitution of the United
States, backed by
numerous court decisions,
give the owner of a house
or apartment dweller the
right to refuse police to
search without a warrant.

federal statute, and the

Law, unless police can get

Richard Harvey and
Babacar Niang live in dif
ferent parts of the world.
While their customs are
different, they share a
concern for human rights
which knows no national
boundaries as lawyers and
members of the Interna

Democratic Lawyers
(IADL).
Satisfying their concern
for allegations of viola

within the continental
boundaries of the United

WILMINGTON - At
torneys with Legal Ser
vices of the Lower Cape
Fear (LSLCF) in Wilm
ington have filed a major
lawsuit against New
Hanover County and two
private corporations,
demanding that clean
water be restored to
residents of the Flem
ington Community.
According to the suit
which was filed June 5 in
New Hanover County
Superior Court, residents
of the Flemington Com
munity had their water
supply contaminated
shortly after the county in
stalled a landfill im
mediately adjacent to the
Community in 1973. The
County closed the landfill
on June 30 but it was too
late to save the Communi
ty's water supply.
The lawsuit was filed on
behalf of the Flemington
Residents Association
(FRA) which represents
the majority of the
households in the Flem
ington Community.
"We're appalled that
Flemignton residents,
many of whom are elder
ly, have had to go without
useable running water for
more than a year," said
LSLCF attorney David H.
Noonan, who has worked
with the FRA since
December.
The lawsuit, said
Noonan, charges that the
use of that particular land
with its soil characteristics
and close proximity to the
Flemington water supply,
created a nuisance that has
affected "our clients by
adversely affecting their
water. It is also a nuisance
that will affect the general
public through the flow of
contaminated water into
nearby rivers."
The lawsuit asks that a
temporary water system
be installed while the con
taminated ground water in
Flemington is being
restored to its "prelandfill
condition and quality."
In discussing the lawsuit
at a morning news con
ference held at the land
fill, Noonan and a number
of Flemington' residents
stated that their primary
objective is to have the
Community's . water
restored at its previous
condition and quality.
"What we want is to
have good, clean, healthy
. water again," said FRA
spokesperson Mrs. Eva
Yates. "Many of us have
lived here all of our live:
and before the landfil
opened we had some ot
the best water in this area.
Now we can't drink it or
cook with it, and many of
us can't wash our cloths or
even water our yards with
it."
Mrs. Yates noted that at
the present time, Flem
ington residents must walk
some distance to obtain
water from two portable
tanks, and then transport
it to their homes in milk
jugs or other containers.
She said this obviously
poses a number of pro
blems for the elderly and
handicapped residents of
the Community.
Studies completed by
the N.C. Department of
Natural Resources and
Community Development
have shown that con
taminants exist in the
Flemington water in un
safe amounts, and last
month the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
added the.landfill to its list
of 103 most hazardous
disposal sites in the coun
try. Recent studies by EPA
of .the Flemington water
revealed that pollutants

a world-wide question, ad
ding "we hope that our
work here may help both
in this country and in all
countries to advance the
cause of human rights."
Harvey is a well-known
British lawyer who has
defended several members
of the Irish Republican
Army (IRA) in well
publicized trials.
Both lawyers have a lot
in common with the vic
tims of political harass
ment and repression in
this country. They are not
a part of the political
establishment of their
respective countries and in
the case of barrister
Niang, he is a member of
an outlawed Senegalese
political party, the Na
tional Democratic Party
Senegal's constitution
establishes four parties
and prohibits all others.
To make conversing
with reporters and defen
dants easier, Chapel Hill
French professor Tim
Eastridgc interpreted
reporters questions from
English to French for Mr.
Niang and his responses
back to English. . s
Through his interpreter,
Niang assured The
Carolina Times in an ex
clusive interview that
"indeed Africans are very
interested in not only
possible violations of
man's rights in the world
but particularly in the
possible violation of the
human rights of Afro
Americans in this country.
The reason for this be
ing," he said, "we are
brothers, in a sense, and
our origins and roots are
in Africa." :
