By Donald Alderman A massive demonstra tion protesting the foreign - and domestic policies of the Reagan administration is being organized nation wide.. The protest, to be held in Atlanta July 29, will "deplore "Reagan's policies . of cutbacks, racism and war," accor ding to the organizers. President Reagan is scheduled to address the National Association of State Legislators the same day.' He reportedly will be pushing to gain more sup port for his budget and tax cuts. The demonstration is to take place at the Atlan ta Hilton where the Presi dent js to speak. Durham groups plann ing to participate in the protest include NCCU Harambi Student Union and the Pan-African Coalition of Durham. They are chartering a bus to Atlanta and will offer low cost, round-trip fares to interested persons. ; Ms. Grace Marsh of Harmabi said, "Because of the Atlanta murders, the administration's insen-. sitivity to the situation, and the administration's' decision to further 'sup port oppression in Third World countries, it is only fitting that Reagan be met with opposition. His policies will ultimately cause thousands to suffer in the U.S. and abroad." The demonstration is an effort planned by some 55 national and regional organizations. The diverse group will include welfare . advocates, tenants, labor unions and church ac tivists. Anti-draft, anti war and anti-nuclear representatives will be pre sent. m Representative Parren Mitchell, D-Md., is the oc casion's keynote speaker. Rev.

Th CWP said that thif5 .3 poor to greater ecoapmhrrt!" government will not bring forth the necessary evidence to convict the Nazis because "both the. Nazis and government were deeply, involved" in the November, 1979 kill ings. The group said it is mounting a political of fensive that will expose the "consistent government role in the Greensboro in cident." ; The CWP " expressed distrust of the U.S. judicial system and said the six Nazis were brought to trial "only because of widespread public disgust in the court system." "The reason the government must go through the charade of in dicting and trying the Nazis is that the credibility of the entire justice system and various government agencies is tower than ever before," the group said. The CWP said the government condemns groups that fight . for justice, against racism, for the poor and unemployed while assisting groups that are willing to wage, war poverty. The administra tion's linkage attempts with South Africa clearly , show their concerns for minorities and human rights," they cited. The CWP said the government, in an attempt . to confuse issues and wedge the public, will . label "terrorist" those who act in accordance : with the principle of building a more just socie-' ty. "Only the most united : and militant rank and file! organizations will be able to withstand forthcoming inhumane government: r tactics." - Mhlam$cjalistMh BALTIMORE Im migration Judge Joan Ar rowsmith has postoned until the fall the deporta- ? tion hearing of Mojgan Hariri-Vijeh J The action S was taken during a July 6 conference call between the judge, Immigration and Naturalization Service trial attorney Bruce Bar-, rett, and Shelly Davis, at torney for Hariri-Vijth. It assures ample time for the presentation of her case. The postponement is a victory in the fight of Hariri-Vijeh, a nineteen Honoree Jeffers Published MissHonoree Jeffers, the . 13-year-old daughter of - Mr. and Mrs. Lance Jeffers of 2608 E. Weaver St., Durham, has been, notified by Pantheon Books of New York that an excerpt from her 27-page short story, VHow Can You Tell", has . been published in an an thology entitled Growing Up Southern. The excerpt was first published by Southern Ex posures, a North Carolina magazine, last summer and deals with the life of a young boy, born in slavery, who perfects a method to set his family and himself free. The en tire story has its setting in Louisiana before the Civil year old Iranian student at Morgan State University, to stay in this country, ii has fueled hope that the INS will reconsider" its denial : of Hariri-Yijeh's request for the reinstate ment of her student visa, which expired in 1978. Hariri-Vijeh explains that she didn't renew her student visa in 1979 or 1980 "due to the anti Iranian hysteria whipped up in this country after the fall of the U.S.-backed Shah." Hariri-Vijeh was never contacted by the War and contains an abundance of information on the plight of blacks during slavery. , 1 Miss Jeffers is an honor student who will attend Hillside High School in the fall as a ninth grader.

I ) r mm INS until Feburary 23, 1981, just tvfo weeks after she joined the Young Socialist Alliance. Hariri-Vijeh, who is also a member of the Socialist Workers Party, says: "I am being singled out because of my political ideas. I will fight for my right to stay in this country. The U.S. govern , ment found room for the Shah, who is responsible for the torture and murder of tens of thousands of my people. Why can't I stay , here to finish my educa tion?!' Hariri-Vijeh has pledg-; ed to "appeal any depor tation orderwithin the INS and through the courts if necessary. I am cohflddent that many, many people will come to my support." Ms. Etta Ettlinger, who is coordinating ! support for her case, commented: "We plan to use this postponement to gather even more support for Hariri-Vijeh. This is an important civil liberties case, not just for her but for thousands of other non-citizens who live under threat of deporta tion. We not rest until Morjgan Hariri-Vijeh's right to stay in this coun try is secure." According to Attorney Shelley Davis, documents disclosed through a $40 million lawsuit by the YSA and SWP against the INS and other government agencies reveal an INS program aimed at depor ting foreign-born persons because of their ideas and activities, while using other pretexts for deporta tion. Attorney Shelley Davis plans to use these documents in the wri Vijeh's defense. Already, Hariri-Vijeh's battle to stay in the.UJS. has won wide support, in cluding backing from Representative John Con yers, British Member of Parliament Tony Benn, journalist I.F. Stone, Camille Bell of the Com mittee to Stop Child Murders in Atlanta, Morgan State Student Government Asociation President Alvin Alston, Morgan State Philosophy Department Chairman Dr. Clifford DuRand, and many others. . Hariri-Vijeh had been seeking postponement pending the outcome of the YSA and SWP suit against government spy ing, harassment and other disruption of the socialists' activities. She had also been seeking the postponement pending a review of the SWP and YSA status currently be ing conducted by the INS. The review, according to an INS document in troduced during the trial, of the socialist suit, will determine whether the SWP and YSA are "proscribed" organiza tions, whose foreign-born members would automatically be "excusable or deportable."
