The plan has been submitted to the Compliance Review Commission of the national Democratic head quarters for approval. Special attention in the plan-^ is directed to senior citizens, blacks and other ‘‘traditionally under-represented people” through various publicity, educational programs and voter registration efforts to assure that these groups have an opportunity to participate and be represented in the delegate selection processes for the 1976 party nominating convention. Elements of the new ‘‘affirmative action plan” include: A State Affirmative Action Committee established and responsible for the implemen tation of all requirements in the plan; statewide education al seminars and a ‘‘speakers’ bureau” is to be established; the State Party is to organize a voter registration drive and a get-out-the-vote campaign in cooperation with the leader ship of the ‘‘traditionally under-represented groups”. Any 15 persons registered as Deomocrats may challenge the adopted plan by filing a wrtten ‘‘Notice of Intent to Chailenge” with the Chair man of the Compliance Review Commission, Robert iF. Wagner, 1625 Massachu setts Ave., N.W.* Washing ton, D.C. 20036 and with the State Party Chairman, James R.

Smith, Sr. of 2201 Douglas St. and Mark Brian Peoples son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmore Peoples •of 2230 N. East Street, have enlisted in the U.S. Navy under the Navy’s new 290-day program. Ths program authorizes the Navy to enlist qualified young men and give them up to 290 days delay in reporting for active duty. By enlisting under this program. Smith and Peoples have gained several advantages over other enlist ments in that the delay time prior to reporting for active duty counts toward completion of military obligation, builds up longevity for pay purposes and affords up to six months seniority prior to entering recruit training. No atten dance at drills or meetings is required during the waiting period. Upon completion of a specific period of inactive duty they will be transferred, to a U.S. Naval Training Center for Recruit Training.

The people’s government^ made for the people, made by the people, answerable to the people. —Daniel ’Webster Senate Speech, 1830
