The Charlotte author of "Only in America,” and some 12 other books did his usual “thing” in his talk on the pro gram honoring "l Greensboro area college authors at Ben nett College’s Pfeiffer Chapel recently. “The college classroom is the most precious thing in A merica today,” he said. “The press is free, but the adver tisers exert considerable con trol on the editorial page. Tele vision is free, but the sponsor is writing the program. The clergy is free, but tnelaxman has taken over. So what is left is the college classroom.” He discounted the complain ing that we’ve heard in recent years about people not being as patriotic as they used to be. He said that those who com plain are unaware that these uninhibited expressions of pa triotic fervor were made bv immigrants during the days of unrestricted immigration. When this was halted by the restrictive clauses of the Mc- Cari an-Walter Act in the 1020 s, “all these uninhibited kissing the ground rituals ceased.” Special emphasis was plac ed by Mr. Golden on libraries and reading.

A Question W ASHINGTON - (NPI) - The Black chairman of the federal Equal Employment Opportunity commission has questioned his Black predecessor’s state ments. William H, Brown 111, appointed by President Nixon, asked why the previous chair man, Clifford L. Alexander, Jr., singled out the Republican ad ministration for criticism while saying nothing during the near ly two years he headed the com mission about Job discrimina tion existing during the Demo cratic Kennedy and Johnson ad ministration. The answer may be political: Brown is a Re publican, and Alexander Is a De mocrat. the dance faculty at the School of the Arts. A work called “Studies” was choreographed by the students who dance it. Modern dance Is taught by Pauline Koner, Duncan Noble and visiting artists. Miss Koner Is accompanying the students, it,” he said. “We must find ♦ lie balance between the wonders of science and the greater wond ers of human kindness.” He called for broad programs of legislation for housing, jobs, and education. “It must be pro gressive legislation. Oppres sive legislation of more police, more vigilantes and more ex pensive sentencing has never worked in the history of man kind,” he said. “We lost a war to keep the Neg 'o invisible,” Golden added. “But lie’s no longer invisible; he's burning our cities, and we must pay him indemnities.” For those who seek to write he had this to say: “Writing is a craft, a profession like any thing else. It’s hard work that takes lots of training. Few writ ers wait for what is called “in spiration.” Nor do they need to work in an attic, or go to Italy, or get a fellowship, or write only between five a.m. and nine a.m., or after two a.m., or any other nonsense.” On reading he said; “If no thing else, reading is a af firmation of the future by an ability to use tlie past. History shows that the best government was conceived by the self-think ers, the literary men. To this list he named Ben jamin Franklin, Jefferson, Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Woodrow Wilson, John F. Ken nedy, Disraeli, Gladstone, Bal four and Churchill-all literary men. The program on which Mr. Golden appeared, also, featur ed an autograph session for Peter E. A, Addo, the college chaplain, who published his first book last fall. Because of his investigations which prompted President Ken nedy to reactivate the Com mittee or. Equal Opportunity in the armed services, Congress man Diggs' assistance is sought by black servicemen all over the world. Congressman Diggs is a member of the House of For eign Affairs Committee, chair man of its Subcommittee on A frica, a member of the House Committee on the District of Columbia, and Chairman of its Subcommittee No. 2.
