Blacks Gain 55
Percent In State House
..A record 72 percent or 85 of
118 black candidates seeking
major public offices in 8
Southern states were success
ful in their bids on November
5, according to the Voter Ed
ucation Project (VEP).
..The new total of major
offices held by blacks in the 11
southern states represents an
increase of 30 seats or 55.5
percent gain in state houses,
an increase of 4 state senate
seats or a percentage gain of
60.6. and one new seat in the
United States Congress. In the
South, the VEP reports a total
of 3 black members of Con
gress, 10 black state senators,
and 84 black members of state
houses.
..Stan Alexander, VEP Re
search Director, reported that
the 1974 gains in black repre
sentation came primarily
from moderate to large urban
centers in the South. A state
by-state breakdown of minor
ity political progress in the
South includes:
Alabama - Two blacks elected
for the fhrst tt^e to tike state
I
bama, South Carolina's black
representation in the state
house increased from 3 to 13 or
400 percent.
Tennessee - Harold Ford of
Memphis, running in the 8th
Congressional District, be
came Tennessee's first black
member in the C.S. Congress.
He won by a narrow margin
only after personally discover
ing four ballot boxes which
had apparently been held back
in the office of the election
commission. Two blacks won
state senate posts, reflecting
no increase of seats, but state
house members increased
black representation from 7 to
9 seats.
Texas - Barbara Jordan, of
the 18th Congressional Dis
trict of Texas, easily won re
election. The number of black
state, house members in
creased from 8 to 9.
..“The fact that 94 blacks hold
Southern -.state-., legislative
posts .in 1974 is a fantastic
achievement; the most sign-.

■ *T
Inflation-weakened America needs common-sense con
servation, not empty austerity. Conservation is insulating the attic
and saving fuel; austerity is shivering in your living room. 1
In a similar way, when new cars replace old, the nation's
primary means of transportation gains efficiency. Our new 1975
cars conserve gasoline, even as they emit less pollution, provide
more safety features, and cost less to operate and maintain than
earlier models.’
The purchasing of new cars is tne common-sense
vation we need. It keeps the wheel of progress rolling. It means
growth and investment. This means more jobs for our people, more
revenue for our government, more value for our customers, and
more dividends for our stockholders.
, No growth makes no sense; not for America, not for
anyone.
Right now is the time to buy a new car.
