aa . " . mm 0 m m n SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1SS2 THE CAROLINA TlIS J Hooks Protests LoanBv IMF To South Africa i coming Next week i NEW YORK Despite strong protests from the NAACP, many lawmakers, national and international organiza-; tions and governments, the : International Monetary Fund approv ed a S 1.1 billion loan to South Africa - on Wednesday, November 3. V Much . to, the displeasure of the NAACP, the United States, joined by Canada and most Western Euro pean countries, voted for the loan. The size of the opposK tion was unprecedented, according to"" IMF 'sources Of the 146 jnember national in the Fund, 68 . countries, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, voted against the loan. The text of a telegram from Ex ecutive Director Ben jamin L. Hooks on Tues-" day, November 2, to President Reagan and Treasury t : ; Secretary Donald Regan follows: "The NAACP regards moves by the Interna tional Monetary Fund to provide a $1.1 billion loan to South Africa as a travesty of our great na tion's sense of justice and freedom. That our government would even consider supporting this effort to provide South Africa with such a loan, r such itself especially one of magnitude, : is of deplorable.4 . ; " . "Given inexpressive nature of South Africa's apartheid system, NAACP is convinced that any action of this nature by the interna tional community, and especially the U.S., will be misconstrued by the South African govern ' ment as open support for its racial policies. ; - . "We ' should be restrained by our, deep sense of human decency. "We there urge you to vote against the loan." The 1982 Elections By Benjamin L. Hooks NAACP Executive Director WTVD Annual Meeting Set For November 20 Top television per sonalities, executives, and advocates will be featured at the WTVD Channel 1 1 Advisory Committee's Annual Meeting, Saturday, Nov. 20, 9:30 a.m. -noon. The meeting will take place at the Farrison-Newton Communications Building at North Carolina Central Univer sity. Ms. Beverly Burke, WTVD New Anchor and PUiria Marshall of the National Black Media Coalition will share the podium with media en trepreneur Benjamin Duster of Seaway Com munications, the first all black television company in the United States. Workshops on Management and Ownership, Local Pro gramming, News Coverage, and Com-, municating Black will be conducted by officers of WTVD and its parent body, Capital Cities Communications. One of the largest broad casting companies in the world, "Capcities" is based in New York City. The annual meeting is being sponsored by the WTVD Advisory Com mittee to increase citizen awareness of trends and issues in the television in dustry ' J. William Becton, chairman of the commit tee, urges the community to "attend the meeting and learn how television can best serve their needs' For more than . a decade, the Advisory Committee has given the station effective advice on minority programm ing and hiring at WTVD. Dr. Caroline Lat timore and John H. Gat tis are co-chair of the WTVD Advisory Com mittee Annual Meeting Committee. Based on the pivotal role blacks played in many' key elections around the country on November 2r from a rational perspective it would seem impossi ble for President Reagan to dismiss the importance of the nation's largest minority group as lightly as he has done over the past two years. Not since Woodrow Wilson occupied the White House has a sitting president treated black Americans so, cavalierly, even callously. Now, not only did more than 90 per cent of blacky voters cast their ballots for Democrats in 1982, but in many key states a significant majority of registered black voters went to the polls. A quick survey by Joseph Madison, director of the NAACP Voter Education program, showed, for example, that 89 per cent of registered blacks voted in Oklahoma City,' Okla., and about 88 per cent voted in Dallas County, Texas. Other sampl ings were: 70 per cent in Jefferson County Ga., nearly 80 per cent in South Bend, Ind., 60 per cent in Des Moines, Iowa, 65 per cent in Sumpter, Ala., 70 per cent in Yazoo County, Miss., 60 per cent in Goldsboro (Wayne County), N.C., and 65 per cent in selected precincts of Los Angeles. Such a turnout, by NAACP estimates that are based on reports from our units around the nation, represents a record in modern times. As in past years, the NAACP is proud of its role in registering voters and getting people to the polls. The more than $100,000 invested by the national of fice this year plus the resources of our volunteer-led branches around the country once more reinforced the NAACP's historical commitment to enfranchis ing black Americans and increasing (heir political strength. There were disappointments in the 1982 elections,, to, be sure. Los Angeles Mayor Torn Bradley, who I would have been the first black governor in this country's history, was defeated by California At- . torney General George Deukmegian a Republican. Also, Robert G. Clark, Jr., who would have been the first black congressman from Mississippi since Reconstruction, lost to Webb Franklin, a former State Circuit Court Judge. Despite their defeats, ' however, blacks have been encouraged ; by their boldness. Others are certain to seek statewide and. otherwise significant offices in the future. Those setbacks notwithstanding, blacks scored significant victories elsewhere. Blacks can be proud that as a result of reapportionment 6and their in creasing political clout, the membership of the Con gressional Black Caucus in Washington will be in creased from 18 to 21 next January, In other areas, blacks played a decisive role; They helped defeat a number of propositions in Califor nia that were against their interests, and thus sent Mr. Reagan a strong message. One such proposi tion would have authorized the state the distribute textbooks to private schools.' The NAACP, labor, and other groups worked strenuously against such measures. ; In Michigan, thanks to the votes of Detroit's blacks, Democrat James J. Blanchard came from behind at the last minute to beat Richard H. Headlee in the race for the governor's mansion. Thus, whatever Mr. Reagan might say publicly, Republicans cannot now overlook the reality that while the Democrats' triumph was due to the over whelming vote by white Americans on pocketbook issues, black dissatisfaction with the Reagan-led GOP runs much Beeper. So, unless the GOP revolu tionizes its approach to black Americans promptly, it is a foregone conclusion that blacks will remain divorced frqim the GOP for the foreseeable future. 8 A SPECIAL REPORT on the United Na-jj tions entitled "The Voices of the Majority" 8 Assail the Violators of International Law.JJ Trade and Peace" by Curtis T.
