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 am for small business.

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.” CALLS UPON (CONTINUED FROM PAG® J) are honest with ourselves, meaningful political participa tion has been continously clos ed to most of black America. The Republican Party has never been an alternative and thus the Democratic Party has never wanted to nor has it over been effectively forced to re spond to the needs of blacks. The political processes have failed us precisely because the political leadership has failed 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.

"They think that a Democrat v.ho cares about human and ci vil rights can never carry this region," he said. "And they are wrong. The time has long gone when acandidatecould come to Tennessee afraid to say what he knows is right, that color doesn’t define humanity. That deprivation and despair are colorblind." The Senator re ceived a five-minute standing ovation as he spoke on the race issue. Despite these actions of the na tional administration, he warn ed them, the Democratic Party will succeed in this area not because it builds barriers be tween human beings, but, most of all, he said, it appeals to the best hopes of every citizen and every race -- that together we can build a better country, a place of prosperity for all of our people. In his cross country travels, the Maine Senator said that he’s had the opportunity to listen to the frustrating problems of all Americans and found that most of them have alienated citizens against their neighbors. Most of all, he said, he found a burning desire in people for their leaders to speak the truth in order to erase the many doubts in their minds. “They want their government to represent the truth, and to fight for it. Americans I think want a politics of truth to gov ern our country and our deci sion making in. the years that lie ahead,” he said. He bore down heavily on Ni xon’s economic policies since he took office in 1969 and term ed them the “greatest econo mic disaster in our country." The President’s four different economic policies, he said, has led to the unemployment rising from 3-and-a-half percent to more than 6 percent, PTA WEEK (CONTINUED FROM FAGE I) cal PTA’s across the nation. With a total membership of close to 10 million, the National PTA is the world’s largest volunteer organization devoted solely to the welfare of children. Over the past 75 years, PTA has become synonymous with just everything that's America. Its influence has been felt from city councils in small towns to the halls of Congress in Wash ington, D.C. PTA has even left its mark on the other side of the world in Japan, where pa rent-teacher associations have been patterned after the struc ture of the National PTA. Like most large organizations,, the National PTA has had its share of problems. It has been the target of extremist groups who dubbed it "communis!"... has been attacked from within and without...and has been call ed everything from "do - nothing" to “meddling" by its critics. But is has survived and it continues to grow. In the words of Mrs. John M. Mallorv, president of the National PTA, "PTA has sur vived because in the PTA we are people taking action. PTA members turn anxiety into ac tion arid aspiration intoachieve ment. They find joy and satis faction in working for the pub lic interest. And there is no’ more important public interest than the children and youth of our nation." During its long history, the Na tional PTA has urged its local units to adopt a philosophy of personal involvement. The na tional organization has designed programs and projects of rna~ . jor importance for use at the state and local PTA levels. Such programs include the Na tional PTA’s “Judicial Concern lor Children in Trouble.” Through a mutual effort of the National PTA and the National Juvenii Court Foundation, a na tionwide plan has beer, design ed to use volunteers in the ju venile courts. The program yyould develop ways to train vo lunteers, working with the courts and supplementing the work of its staff members, with a goal of providing more in dividual attention for each child in trouble. The volunteer might provide tutoring or remedial Training; or might simply lend a helping hand in a one-to-one relationship. Communities where this program has been tried, report not only individual successes, but an improvement in communication between Ju venile courts add the public. ZIONITIES (COITONVES FUOM S>AGS !)

The Interest is very high due to many proposed reforms that have been projected for the de nomination.

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 the wrong list. Any number of things could have happened. williams The purpose of this and other articles to follow, will bo to clarify many of the misunder standings and wrong informa tion many people receive'm ' regard to Federal employment. So let's start from the begin ning and find out just how 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 tion of a new applicant from a Mo Court's D km Meets DURHAM - The Divan ofZaFa Court No. 41 met Saturday at 6 p.m, at the home of the Illus trious Commandress, Chris tine Jones.

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 cept of rehabilitation, criticize: the use of discretionary powers register oi eligibles establish ed through open competitive examinations; by promotion or reassignment of as; employee in the same agency;-by trans fer of an employee from an other agency; -by reinstate ment of forme" Federal em ployee; and by “direct hire” through agency recruitment. The first and most common method is that of selection from a register of eligibles estab lished through open competi tive examination. At this point it would be wise to define some of the words just used to explain how posi tion are filled. These words will be very important in und erstanding what is being pre sented. The first definition is Examination - an examination for our purposes may be a ADS Vm i■ 'f hc. fM ■ ■ v: : ' :f ■; /'/ W iftiv L WJ - r B .v4§~ 1 * l INJURED IN RACIAL DISORDER- Tampa, Fla. - Uni lent i fled youth at Tampa’s Plant High School is led away from school Monday by his father.

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 sentence. 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 tice system are sued to per petuate the second-class sta tus of minorities and the poor, to combat differing life styles, and to silence those who might challenge the status quo.
