SENATOR i SAM ERVIN * SAYS * WASHINGTON The Senate Pennanent Investi gations Subcommittee, of which I am a member, has resumed its investigation of a $927,341 federal grant made by the Office of Eco nomic Opportunity to mem. bers of two Chicago street gangs the Blackstone Rangers and the East Side Disciples. Witnesses before the sub committee have indicated that while the stated pur pose! of the project was to educate gangsters to obtain employment, the real pur pose was to end armed warfare between members of the two rival gangs. The result, if witnesses are to be believed, was a total waste of taxpayers’ money. University of Chicago evaluators of the project have said that little, if any, training took place. One evaluator, who at tended some of the train ing classes, said: “I cannot give a general impression of the training, since there was no training going on.” One member of the evalu ating team was told not to come back to visit classes until he had cleared with a gang leader who was getting out of jaiL Subcommittee witnesses have indicated that thous ands of dollars funded through the OEO grant went to gang leaders and training enrollees to buy peace in Chicago.

C. 11l Reports - Election of Directors Prizes - Entertainment Albemarle Electric • Membership Corporation a member of the Black stone Rangers, and other witnesses have testified that a orurch training cen ter was used by the gang to store weapons and nar cotics, and that the center was used for illicit activi ties ranging from sex af fairs to extortion. En rollees, according to the testimony, were subect to kick-back levies by gang leaders out of their week ly anti-poverty pay checks. Gang members got as much as SSB weekly for at tending so-called training classes. Recent testimony before the subcommittee indicates that attendance records were falsified to permit the collection of weekly checks out of the project’s funds. Evidence of this nature is being turned over to the Department of Justice for possible criminal action. Acting OEO Director Bertrand M. Harding has given assurance that ap proval of this type of pro ject will be withheld in the future, but the subcommit tee is interested as to why the administration funded a project of this character in the first place, and why its activities did not re ceive more careful scrut iny while it was in opera tion. The project has now been discontinued.

The general accounting offices is presently conducting a large-scale investigation to determine whether the anti • poverty program is achieving the objective es tablished by Congress in the 1964 Econoomic Oppor tunity Act. The subcommittee began its study of the anti poverty program during its investigation into the causes of the 1967 riots and civil disorders. Testi mony about the Chicago project indicates that the Blackstone Rangers once considered blowing up the Chicago Loop in the down town area, but ultimately gave up that activity. Revelations uncove ed by the subcommittee to dat.e suggest that the adminis tration of the anti-poverty program at the federal level needs Congressional attention, and there are in dications that Congress will go into this problem thor oughly.

Frank Roberts, former Edenton radio personality now living in Hertford, was banquet speaker. Re calling the Edenton Tea Party and the outstanding contribution of Penelope Barker, Roberts traced the role of women in activities of the day. “In the last several years you gals have come into your own,” he said. Too, he pointed out that the woman of today is an in dependent thinker—especi ally in regards with poli- Flattery Falls They were discussing girls. “How is it, Jack,” asked Joe, “that you get on so well with the girls?” “Easy,” was the reply. ‘Try flattery. For in stance, the girl I was with last night got a fly in her eye, and I said, ‘I can’t see how it could miss such big eyes as yours.’ After that I had her eating out of my hand.” A few days later they met again. “H’m,” said Joe. “I don’t think much of your flattery stunt. I tried it, but it didn’t come off.” “What happened?” “The girl I was with got a fly in her mouth.” Careless The self - reliant young lady maneuvered her shiny new sedan between two parked trucks, timed the changing light to a nicety, jumped ahead of the slow starting line of cars, and was the first to reach the outskirts of the town. ‘That’s what I call driv ing,” the cop directing traffic called over to a friend. But two minutes later the same young lady reach ed her street, made a sharp tuj-n and ripped one of her garage doors completely off its hinges.
