Winn-Dixie Gives UNCf Gift
Mr. Purdie Anders, Vice-president for Development at Saint Augustine's College, is shown receiving a
$5,000 check from Mr. J.D. James, Manager of Winn-Dixie Raleigh, Inc., for the United Negro College
7und. This gift will be part of the 1981 UNCF campaign.
"effectively .set the tone
for the past twenty years
of efforts to end apar
theid," Dloughy
asserted. The - black ;
educational assistance
' program, he suggested,
could be "a positive in
itiative on the same order
of magnitude as the em
bargo." During those past two
decades, U.S. assistance,
has focused on southern
Africa's refugees. Since
the Development Train
ing Program for
Southern Africa was ap
proved by Congress in
1976, U.S. aid to
refugees has increased
substantially. In fiscal
year 1981, the U.S. has
committed some $6.7
million for educational
-training and assistance
programs for - South
Africa and Namibia.
What the Reagan ad
ministration has in mind,
however, "represents a
significant departure in
the approach to the pro
blem of education for
black South Africans,"
Dloughy explained.

ment's ' current. " plan, oHioles." ; , ' : .

The U.S. has also
agreed to a South
African request, pending
since 1979, to add two
honorary consulates
in Phoenix and Pitt

ment is based on the
premise that change in
South Africa can be
brought about, nur
tured, and helped to frui
tion by positive
support," State Depart
ment country officer for
South Africa -David B.
Dloughy declared in a
a widespread perception Jline address at a private

toward white South
Africa.
In a major policy
speech August 29, Assis
tant Secretary of State
for African Affairs
Chester Crocker took
issue with the view that
the U.S. is playing
favorites in southern
Africa. "We cannot and
will not permit our hand
to be forced to align
ourselves with one side
or another," he
declared, adding:
"Neither will we align
ourselves with apartheid
policies that are
abhorent - to pur own
multiracial democracy."
But he reiterated that
"the U.S. also seeks to
build a more construc
tive relationship with
South Africa, one based
on shared -interests, per
suasion, and improved
Ccnmunication."

cooperation, which the
Carter administration
and even i some of its

it. '' ..' " ' ' v

on other matters of

minerals, are also in

He said a
"philosophical dif
ference" with , the
previous administration
and other advocates of
"the carrot and stick"
approach was what lay
behind the Reagan ad
ministration's interest in
supporting black educa
tion. The arms embargo
against South Africa

measure by the U.S. in
1962, endorsed by the
UN in 1963 and made

organization in 1977,

Japan especially has a partnership with
its management and labor and out ranks
us in every export market. A RFC entity
would assure our businesses survival and
jobs.
Blacks are very practical and in-,
novative. As William T. Coleman, Jr.,;
our former secretary of Transportation
under President Ford, said in the New
York Times recently, blacks still need
equal opportunity and numbers in every
phase of employment. I hope Mr.
Reagan's advisers are listening to Mr.
Coleman, a creditable black Republican.
A WARNING
The people with advantages and wealth
in the United States must realize that they
cannot ignore the masses in this land who
are middle class and poor. The unemploy
ment rate is far beyond the statistics: as
many blacks have given up and live out
side normal conditions.
Mr. Reagan by his economic plans and
practices is creating for the first time a
drift toward confrontation of the classes.
The affluent in their selfish ways are
rapidly creating a sub-culture which is ill
fed, ill-housed, ill-educated and lacking
adequate health care. The medical profes
sion, the banks, the oil corporations, utili
ty companies, lawyers (to name a few) are
greedy and non-caring
Mr. Reagan has gutted mass transpor
tation in major urban areas. Poor people
making near minimum wages plus middle
classes commuting by rail are hard hit.
The cutting down on school lunches
and training programs shows a
callousness unparalleled in history.
Grating for young people are the cuts in
educational grants and loans. Many col
leges will have to close. How, one conjec
tures, can the United States become pro
ductive again when investment in our
young people has become miserly. It is
just as important to . invest in human
resources as it is in military hardware.
The list grows as the budget bill passed
by an uncourageous Congress unfolds.
Mr. Reagan and cutters are laying the
eround for resentment and bitterness. He

It is the duty of. any leader to find the .
resources to meet the minimum re
quirements of his or her citizens.
Recently 1 talked with some bright
young black lawyers. They stated succinc
tly that if President Reagan and his
Svengali, Mr. Stockman, deny blacks and
other minorities economic redress, the
President (1) could provoke impeachment
proceedings against him; (2) be brought to
court on economic malfeasance and
economic criminality.
They claim no moral majority can save
him from this fate unless he changes
course. To be sure, this is a disturbing
possibility which Mr. . Reagan should
heed.
Blacks must give no quarter. No Presi
dent or a bunch of selfish Coolidge and
Hoover imitators must be permitted to do .
us blacks in. Short of violence we must
use every tactic to remain an indelible part
of the United States. This is our country
