Wild-Horse Economy
Cited By Minister
NEW ORLEANS, La. - The
Ret . I eon 11. Sullivan, black
founder and organizer of Op
pori unities Indust ria 1 iza
tion ( i nters (OIO) throughout
the United States, in support of
the current wage-price freeze,
said here Monti.i that “such a
move was necessary to halt a
‘wild - horse’ economy.’’
The Rev. Mr. Sullivan, a resi
dent of Philadelphia, Pa., made
the comments at a press confer
ence before addressing the 72nd
annual Grand l odge convention
of the Improved Benevolent
Protective order of Elks of the
World (IBPOEW) at itie Fair
mont Roosevelt Hotel.
“President Nixon’s price
wage action was a good move,”
he said. “We had a runaway
economy and had lo put reins on
it or we would have gone over
the cliff.”
Criticizing George Meany,
president of the AFL-CIO, for
opposing the move, the Rev. Mr.
Sullivan said “Meany’s unions
have been hurting black people
for years keeping them off of
building trades jobs and other
jobs with segregated racist dis
ci imination.*’
In ceremonies at the conven
tion, the Rev. Mr. Sullivan was
presented the IBPOEW’s high
est award the “Lovejoy A
ward,” which is presented to
the Individual wiioin the order
feels has contributed “to the
progress of people regardless
of race, cieed, or color in hu
man rights and better relation
ship.”
Past recipients of the award
are President Dwight 1). Eisen
hower, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt,
U. S. Associate Supreme Court

N.Or leans
NEW ORLEANS, Ea. - This
glamorous town, with its exotic
flare and reputation, boasts of
its Mardi Gras and gayety, but
the inhabitants, from the gover
nor of the state to the revelers

here, from August 21 to August

Gov. McKeithen, in brief re
marks, told his audience he was
proud that New Orleans had teen
chosen as the convention city by
the Elks order.
“I have heard it rightfully
said that it is hard to be a Ne
gro in America,’’ Gov. Mc-
Keithen said, “but I tell you it
is just as naru to tie a. poor
white, hut we do have hope and
the power to express' our
desires by that great power
the vote.”
The Rev. Mr. Sullivan, in his
convention speech, said that
there must be planning by tho
black man for the future.
'•Nothing works for long with
out a plan,” he said.
“Black men everywhere want
the world to know that no long
er will wo be satisfied with
things as they have been, and
that we will not be satisfiewi with
anything less than full equal op
portunity, equal recognition and
equal rights.
The plan according to the Rev.
Mr. Sullivan must call for the
“strongest possible emphasis
on education. The key of op
portunity in the future will be
education.”
Dr. R. Irving Boone, E
lizabeth City State University,
Elizabeth City, N. C., and pastor
of the First Baptist Church, A
