District Court here this week in behalf of a newspaper reporter and resi dents of King Ferry Migrant Labor Camp. It charged interference with freedom of the press, freedom of speech, assembly, petition and association. This complaint names as de fendants the district attorney of Cayuga County, two officers of the New York State Police, as well as the cooperative man ager and the cooperative which owns the camp where the mi grants reside. The plaintiffs Walter Re wald, a reporter with the Citi zen-Advertiser, and Howard Douglas and Floyd Shaw, mi grant farm workers desire that Mr. Rewald "and other newsmen and other members of the public have free access to visit them at the King Ferry Migrant Labor Camp in order that the press can publish ac counts of activities and living conditions at the camp." This will "assist them in im proving their conditions and in pettioning public officials with jurisdiction and responsibilty over the camp about their griev ances." Reporter Rewald visited the camp and wrote stories of life there which in time displeased officials of the camp who sub sequently barred his entry. Rewpld wants to go back and continue his job as a reporter. LDF attorneys are asking for preliminary and permanent In junctions to halt the practice of prohibiting entry into the camp site ana to prevent "any re taliatory actions against plain tiffs Douglas and Shaw such as discharging the migrant worker-plaintiffs or imposing any other punishment because they have brought this suit."

"Black Power" as espoused by extremists 'is a viciously cost ly diversion and a retreat from reality," it was charged by Dr. Lester B. Granger internation ally known sociologist and poli tical scientist, during an ad dress at Saint Paul's College here. The retired long-time execu tive director of the National Urban League, headquartered in New York City, spoke recently at the fall Faculty- Staff Confernce at the college, opening its 81st session. He was one of four prominent j featured speakers. President Earl H. McClenney introduced him. Dean Thomas M. Law presided. Dr. Granger, vice chairman of the SPC trustee board, told his audience that "teachers represent the students first and last, and they have to join the total American community. I don't acknowledge a teacher's i right to encourage retreats from reality." A trustee of four major col leges and a visiting lecturer now at others, Dr. Granger said further: "Colleges need 'separatist' preachers among faculties like they need plagues of smallpox or typhus; in fact, typhus is more easily con trolled. "My attitude toward college teaching is filtered through moods running from respect and even affection to exaspe ration and, sometimes, rage. Respect for dedication and skills of the master teachers, who are few. Affection for the addition of loyalty at the ex pense of self-love for youth. "Exasperation caused by wasting of opportunities through blind fatuousness or pig-headed laziness. Rage when career is exploited as the means of self-advancemnt—first, last, and always."

Tliis will include ad ministrative staff and attendant costs, training center facilities, and all office, classroom and laboratory equipment. RCA an ticipates spending about $1 million over and above the government's investment. v In signing the contract, Rut PRICE: 20* is Retreat From Lester Granger The speaker, now residing in Denver, Colo., reiterated his viewpoint by adding: "College must be the place where stu dents have the chance to pro tect their personalities against the mobs" of oppressive poli tical regimes, hostile ethnic minorities, discriminatory trade unionism, and mass communi cators. He was particularly critical of broadcast commen tators. Survey Against Communicable Diseases is Set Families in this area will be asked about immunizations aganst smallpox, polio, dipthe ria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles and mumps by Census Bureau interviewers during the week of Sept. 16, 1968, Director Joseph R. Norwood of the Bu reau's Regional Office in Char lotte announced.

He cited other training con tracts RCA has had with the Labor Department as well as with the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Griffiths expects that RCA's "Four Cities Program" will "help alleviate one of the most acute problems in the elec tronics industry—a shortage of from 50,000 to 75,000 technical ly trained service people." The program calls for the training of 80 persons each In Camden and Newark and 120 each in Chicago and Los An- geles.
