Dr. Elam said the Meharry's financial posi tion has been particularly strained by its teaching hospital which, in recent years, has treated indigent patients from its Nashville service area for whose care the hospital was not fully reimbursed, He said that a major '-. program is now underway at Meharry to remedy- that problem and is receiving priority atten tion. ; ' In announcing the cam paign, Mr .McGiliicuddy ' said ithat the main health care.roblem for the years just ahead is the maldistribution of health, carp professionals, and that Meharry is a leader in resolving that problem.

"Meharry needs these funds for scholarships, faculty, and laboratory and clinical equipment," said Mr. McGillicuddy. "Gifts are necessary for endowment and for pro gram expenses.

Mrs. Cathleen (Kaye) Mack, public af fairs assistant in the USA Communications and Electrohics Materiel Readiness Command's Public Affairs Office, retired April 10 after 36 years of government ser vice. ' Mrs. Mack is a native of Durham. She is a 1943 graduate of Hillside High School, and in 1946 com pleted Cortez Peters Business College, Washington, D. C. . For 32 of her 36 years with the government, Mrs. Mack has been with the Public Affairs Office or its predecessors in the Fort Monmouth structure. She began her governmeni career in Washingtoon, D.

Talley, Jr., a private lawyer in Charlotte who is president of Legal Services I"1 nf North Carolina iLSNC). "It is deeply encourag ing to me and to others in the Legal Services com munity around the state to see the many evidences of strong support for the need to continue making civil legal assistance available to poor people through a national com mitment to Legal Ser vices," said Talley. "The phrase 'equal justice for all' needs to be more than just a hollow statement in our country. It was meant to be one of the cor nerstones of our nation and if we continue to pro-i vide legal help to those who cannot afford private counsel, then that phrase can have real meaning." Talley said he was "very" pleased" that recently the Board of Governors of the N.C. Bar voted 13-3 to pass a resolution calling for con tinued support of the na , tional Legal Services Cor poration and of LSNC, the statewide organization founded by the Bar association in 1976. He noted that earlier this week the law school deans at the University of North Carolina, North Carolina Central Universi ty, Duke University and Wake Forest University joined with former Vice President Walter Mondale in creating a national organization, "Advocates To Save Legal Services." Also participating in that 150-member nation wide organization is Duke Law. Professor Roger Campton, former State Senator McNeil smith of Greensboro, former, U.S. Senators Robert Taft (R-OH), James Pearson (D-KS), Jacob Javits" (R-NY), and Clifford Case (R-NJ). Other well-. known members of "Advocates To Save Legal Services" include former cabinet member Elliott Richardson, War ren Christopher, Joseph Califano, Nicholas deB. Katzenbach, and Sargent Shriver. The , "Advocates" organization, like ' the N.C. Bar Association, op poses President Reagan's proposal to dismantle the" national Legal Services program. They are also seeking to convince the administration, Congress and the American public that the Administration's . proposal is "ill advised and not in the best in terests of this nation. LSNC which has en joyed the support of the organized Bar in North Carolina since its incep- tion in 1976, is a statewide program serving poor peo ple in 83 counties. LSNC also has special programs serving migrants, Indians, prosoners and the mental ly handicapped. Nearly 1 00,000 Protesr Pres. Reagan s Policies v By Donald E. Alderman WASHINGTON, D.C. In the first massive, na tionwide display of resistance and discontent Association to the Reagan Administra tion's toreign ana domestic policies, nearly 100,000 persons converg ed upon the Nation's Capitol Sunday, marching upOn and rallying at the Pentagon. The march and rally, commencing just 103 days after the Reagan presiden cy, symbolized liberal strength and evidenced conservative limitations. The protest, initiated by the People's Anti-War Mobilization and endors ed by over 800 individuals and groups, was said to represent two-thirds of the United States, Canada, and other foreign coun tries. El Salvador support committees. anti-war. anti-draft, and ' anti nuclear representatives were among the diverse groups. Blacks, Native groups, welfare ad vocates, elderly, whites, gays, tenants, labor unions and church ' ac tivists were also represented. While U.S. involvement in El Salvador was mainly protested, the crowd, in essence, protested global imperialism: the political repression and economic exploitation of a people for capitalistic purposes.
