Reversing civil rights undermining reasonable attempts to remedy injustices. < But despite their efforts, the unfinished business of / preserving and protecting civil rights will continue. When I even so conservative a Supreme Court consistently 1 upholds affirmative action plans, and when even many conservatives are repelled by the efforts to roll back the 1 limited progress made, then there is hope that civil rights j gains will be protected. t One important way to protect those gains would be for Congress to exercise greater initiative in overseeing the commission and pulling it back to its designated role as a lUIHIIMIHMIIUIIMIUIIIIIIIMUIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHIIMNllMIIUMMHMIMIIIIIIIIIIUMII A minister's view From ing knowledge of Jesus and to rear people in the faith i (Matthew 28:16-20).

(Note: Jackson has since qualified for matching funds.) Until proven to be otherwise, I am with belief that Jackson made the journey for reasons that he stated: humanitarian reasons. 1 firmly believe this to have been his reason after he naively accepted the offer of somebody to finance his trip and otherwise did all of the planning for the release of Lt. Goodman -- leaving Jackson to spend only 90 minutes to finalize the plan. His decision to accept the offer to go was with some trepidation and that is why it was dependent upon whether or not President Reagan expressed objection. With no objection stated from the president, Jackson was faced with someone who cunningly "made him an offer he couldn't refuse." Of course, since he succeeded, it is perhaps normal that he seeks to capitalize on this for political reasons. I, for one, think that use of diplomacy on his part would have had him to "get off of Lt. Goodman's back" and let others capitalize on what he did, particularly after claiming his act was a humanitarian one.

Sooner or later, we shall see that Jackson has been sorely hurt as a national leader by his act of letting somebody use him. I will be hurt also because I've admired and respected his leadership more than any other in these United States. 1 did not and still do itot plan to vote for him because of fear of exactly what I think hasr happened: his naivete and zealousness leading him to deal with wrong parties. I look forward now to seeing how many of those who jumped on his bandwagon with a one-track mind not only falling off, but jumping off, when the perpetuators of the plan start talking. I never dreamed that so many black leaders would sacrifice the welfare of our country fot color instead of common sense. J. Johnson Winston-Salem ' * vj - ?

He is so occupied in getting that he never learns to give. Always we are in danger of becoming so engrossed with external relationships of our lives that we fail to develop the qualities of thought and vision which alone can lift us above the pedestrian way. Life is too short to belittle, so we can resolve not to be little. We can act like a mature person, and be ready to do the job well whatever it may be. Successful people are those who develop within themselves worthwhile interests to which they are glad to give themselves, realizing it is what we do for others that make life worth living for all. Helping others is a human quality and human qualities are of greater signifigance than knowledge and skill. vnmroMHfmtmmmmmffimmiiiiitiiiiittiiiiiiittiiimimiiMiiitiiiiiniiiiiitiiiiiitittmf je A2 ? iiiiiiitiifitiiititifiuiiiiiiiiiiiimiifiiuiiitiitiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimimimniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii should let their local police and fire officials know that they both expect and will support vigorous anti-arson campaigns in their community.
