therefore he agreed with the
otijer small business repre
sentatives that small business
should not tie exempt from any
guidelines. Burrell asked that
dividends be exempt from con
tras as such an action would
work an undue hardship on
siafal! business start-up and ex
pansion programs.
Blacks who are now attempt
iusj capital formation would be
especially hard hit by dividend
controls. Black business has
jusrt learned to sue the me
chanism of capital formation
and a freeze on dividends might
dry up the few sources of equity
capital now available. Months
of jwork on public stock issues
would go down the drain. All
present agreed wholeheartedly
wiSh Burrell that for that rea
son, controls should not be
placed on dividends.
In responding to whether he
was pro big business or pro
latior, Burrell parried with, "I

ATTICA FORCE
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE l>
The message were drafted
under the aegis of the Coali
tion, which earlier had called
for an investigation regard
ing the death of George Jack
ons and the treatments of Ln
rnates at San Quentin Prison
following his death.
Criticizing the use of force
at Attica as excessive, the sign
ers deplored the fact that “at
leas* forty-one persons have
been massacred arid scores
have suffered serious physical
injuries."
They continued:
"Those responsible for this
deliberate decision to retake
the prison, even at the cost
of the hostages’ lives, have
demonst r at ed unconscionably
that not only Blacks are con
sidered expendable but also
whites.
“We protest arid deprecate
the social arrangement in this
land which inflicts inhuman con
ditions of crippling disad
vantage and dehumanizing de
gratation on Black people and
then scorns them as incapable
and persecutes them as crim
inal."
Recipients of this telegram -
were President Nixon; U. S,
Attorney General John N. Mit
chell; L. S. Representatives
Shiiley Chisholm, John Cony
ers, Ronald Dullums, and
Charles Rangel; and New York
Governor Nelson Rockefeller.
In a separate telegram to
Governor Rockefeller and Rus
sell G. Oswald, state commis
sioner of correction, the same
group assailed the deaths and
injuries as "further proof of
the tragic bankruptcy of the
‘so-called* justice system in the
United States."
"The Black community."
they said, "reacts with intense
outrage to the continuous mur
der of our Brothers and Sisters
who have been victimized from
birth to the grave by a racist,
oppressive system.
"Attica’s ‘Bloody Monday'
demonstrates how calculated,
political pandering takes pre
cedence over concern for hu
man lives when it is the lives
of those who are ruled and not
the rulers at stake.”

IIS.
Conyers called for Mack poli
tical strategy for 1972, which
includes drafting a black to run
as a Democratic candidate for
President. He again urged
Mayor Carl Stokes to offer
himself as a candidate and ex
pressed hope that he and other
black leaders could persuade
Stokes to become a serious
Democratic contender for the
nomination.

Employment In
Federal Government
BY ROBERT I. WILLIAMS
If you have ever applied for
a job with the Federal Govern
ment chances are you were told
to fill our some forms (front
and back), that you had to take
a test, pass it, and get on a
list. OK, so you filled out the
forms, you took the test, pass-
ed It, got on the
list, but still no
job. How come? i
Well, you may 1
have gotten the
wrong forms,
passed thi
wrong test,
and got put on

So let's start from the begin

positions are filled.
Basically, filling a position
in the Federal Government is
the same as in any business
organization. When a vacancy
exists the businessman either
hires someone new to take the
job, promotes somees already
>h* the organization, or moves
someone Into the vacant posi
tion who is currently doing
d tfferent work at the same love!.
These some basic methods are
used in the Federal service,
but a little more defined.
The first method is -by selec

Struggle For Justice: A Study
OfCrime, Punishment In USA
The tradedy at Attica dra
matizes the deepening crisis in
America’s criminal justice sys
tem. Although reforms have
been Introduced to improve
court procedures and penal in
stitutions, they have failed to
reduce crime or reform the cri
minal. What is needed? More
“rehabilitation?” Better train
ed and paid personnel? More
programs and money for courts
and corrections?
The American Friends Service
Committee is eonviced of the
futility of all of these approach
ed. In STRUGGLE FOR JUS
TICE: A Report on Crime and
Punishment in America (HiL
& Wang, November 17, 1971),
the group appointed by the Quak
ers questions the current con

through agency recruitment.
The first and most common
method is that of selection from
a register of eligibles estab
lished through open competi

At this point it would be wise
to define some of the words

Educational Leadership Mad Human
Relations Center Funded At St Am s
The Educational Leadership
and Human Relations Center,
located at St, Augustine’s Col
lege , Raleigh, is funded un
der the provisions of Title IV
of the Civil Rights Act of 19-
64. The Center has been In
existence for three years, but
recently has expanded both its
activities and its staff in order
to better meet the needs of
school districts of North
Carolina. The primary purpose
of the Center' is to serve local
school districts and communi
ties throughout the state in
their effort to identify problems
occasioned by school desegre
gation, then to offer assistance
in designing and implementing
programs to cope with these
problems.
Examples of the types of pro
grams available are workshops
in the areas of curriculum mid
human relations; in service
training for teachers and ad-
from police to wardens, and ad
vocates doing away with the
whole idea of the indeterminate

They find that the mixture of
rehabilitation and punishment as
now practiced gives a human
veneer to a barbaric system.
The inequities and repressive
functions of the criminal jus

petuate the second-class sta
tus of minorities and the poor,
to combat differing life styles,
and to silence those who might
