Despite the treaty, the Ethiopian government said it would not send any food supplies to Egypt in the forseeable future. The government seized a 6,000-ton food shipment from Australia intended for the rebel-held areas last week. Government spokesmen said the Australians' action constituted "?n infringement of Ethiopia's sovereignty," and made "an unacceptable challenge to Ethiopia's authority" which was ^ "tantamount to interference in our internal affairs." American government officials said the Ethiopian government also had blocked delivery of tons of emergency food to the area, which they said would spread starvation. Australia and the United Jordan calls Reagan a WASHINGTON - The president of the National uroan League described the social and economic status of black Americans "very grim" last week and outlined steps President Reagan should take to heal the breach between blacks and the administration. John Jacob made the remarks upon the release of the Urban League's annual State of Black America report, confirming the League's harsh criticism of? the the president at a time when the administration, Congress and special interest groups are considering a new round of budget cuts for social programs to help reduce the federal deficit. The report covers seven areas of concern, including the state of elderly blacks, blacks in the labor movement, problems facing black financial institutions, the black family, implications of technology for urban school districts heavily populated with racial minorities, blacks in the iiiitmiiiiiiiiitmiimmtipiiimmmtttiimmtiiiiiitiiimiiiimiiimiimmiiiimiiiMi Coliseum From Page A meeting-type public hearing. done before we But throughout that meeting, whether they w some members expressed doubt Mann said.

An Australian ship unloaded a 3,500-ton shipment of food at the Red Sea port of Assab, then waited in the harbor for permission to leave for its next port of call. But Ethiopian officials apparently learned that the ship was to deliver another 6,000 tons of food relief agencies serving rebel-held areas when it docked in the Sudan, Ethiopia's western neighbor, and confiscated the cargo. One international civil servant said the food seizure "will upset a lofcof Wwtewi donors."

"In virtually every area of life that counts, black people made strong progress in the 1960s, peaked in the '70s and have been sliding back ever since," Jacob said in an introduction to the report. The report described the Reagan administration's attitude towartd blacks as "deplorable," saying it had continued attacks upon affirmative action programs, used the Justice Department and the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to civil rights gains for minorities and had dragged its feet on proposed voting rights legislation.
