"Pull Richard Nixon Down" Stresses Bond ATLANTA, Ga. - "Black people must mobilize political action powerful enough to reach up and pull Richard Nixon down," Georgia State Representative Julian Bond told a crowd of 10,000 per sons, mostly black, who gathered on the campus of Morehouse College here to cli max a five-day, 110-mile "March Against Repression." Bond echoed a theme set by Rev. Ralph Abernathy, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Confer ence; playwright Leßoi Jones; Sen. George McGovern (D-SD); Mrs. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Mayor Richard Hatcher of Gary Indiana; Albany attorney C. B. King, the first black candidate for Governor in Georgia's history; SCLC's Hosea Williams, and other speakers who addressed the throng gathered at the spot where two years earlier Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been funeralized. "Today we are marching against repressio.i and tomor row we are going to be regis tering to vote against repres sion" Rev. Abernathy told the crowd. "The day after we will be casting our votes to sweep out of office the racist politi cians and racist political hust lers who have created the pre sent situation." Bond said that black people have many enemies, but great est among these presently were "Richard Nixon, the used car salesman from California, and Spiro Agnew, the gate mouthed Maryland Farmer."

The announcement was made today by Berkeley G. Burrell, president of the Na tional Business League. Bur rell urged all businessmen and the 10,000 members of the NBL to attend this timely con vention. "If you want to ex pand your business or go into a new business, this convention | is a must", said Burrell. "NBL will bring minority and majori -1 ty entrepreneurs who want to make the idea of going into business or expanding busi ness real", he added. The theme of the conven tion will be "Black Business and the Corporate Entity". Corporate leaders, specialists and experts on forms and variety of corporate entities will share their experiences with minority businessmen. An examination of the history of the corporation in America will be made in order to define its relevance to minority enter prise in the 70's. The Detroit chapter of NBL, The Booker T.

Seeks to Fill 285,000 Jobs In Next 2 Years CHICAGO - (NPI) -- The computer age is tripping over its own wires somewhat, in that there aren't enough com puter programmers and analysts around to tend the machines. For this reason, people with these unique skills are finding their pay more and more lucra tive. Computer manufacturers such as Honeywell Inc., along with Specialized business schools and others -- including Operation Breadbasket, which is conducting programming courses -- *iave sprung into action. All hope to help replenish the supply and ease the pres sure of a market that expects an estimated 285,000 job openings in the computer in dustry by 1972 -- about 30,000 of them in the Chicago area alone. It's quite hard to believe that sophisticated machinery is slowly but surely gaining momentum toward creating more jobs than it kills, but the computer industry's experience will convince the skeptic. In this rapidly expanding industry, jobs are going begging. There aren't nearly (See SEEKS pafie 10A) DURHAM, N.

Final check will be presented to LDF attorney Sylvia Drew at the group's 15th National Southern Regional Council YEP To Operate Separately Organizations Work in Behalf Of Minorities ATLANTA, Ga. Forma tion of the Voter Education Project, Inc., was announced today by its first Executive Di rector, John Lewis, effective June 1. For the first time in its eight-year history, VEP now will operate separately from its parent organization, the South ern Regional Council, Inc.' Chartering of VEP as an or ganization separate from SRC was made necessary by provi sions in the new Tax Reform Law which place restrictions upon foundation-supported vo ter registration work, Lewis explained. Virtually all of VEP's funds come from foundations, individuals, and interested grc ups such as church organiza tioa* After a study of the new law, it was decided that the law's provision could best be met by establishing VEP, Inc., as a separate organization. A charter for VEP, Inc., has been granted by Fulton Coun ty (Georgia) Superior Court. The U. S. Internal Revenue Service granted tax-exempt status to VEP, Inc., in mid- May, one month after filing for IRS certification. Separation of VEP and SRC, and the IRS certification mean lhat VEP once again can pro vide financial support for local registration drives in the 11 southern states. All such sup port had been suspended since January 1 until VEP could be established as a separate organi zation in order to comply with the Tax Reform Law of 1969. Although VEP does no actual registration work itself, the or ganization does provide small grants to local groups for the purpose of conducting non (See MINORITIES lOA^i Assembly on June 26-27 in Cincinnati which will bring to gether over 2,000 members of the 23-year-old national wom en's philanthropic organization.

"I wasn't running away from anything," says Mae, cur rently co-starring with Clint Eastwood, Geraldine Page and Elizabeth Hart man as a defiant slave in Universal Malpaso's Civil War drama, "The Be guiled." "The simple fact was that I knew just how far I could go at tHat time (eight years ago) as both a Black singer and a Black woman in this country. "And that wasn't very damned far. "We had a few Black singers here who were the only ones being used at that time. As a Black woman, and a self-taught one at that, I knew they weren't going to give me a chance, Besides, they were using the high yallas then any way and they weren't ready for a dark, really black wo man. So I had to go to Europe to become recog nized." Mae went to Paris and opened a jazz-oriented night club which became the prover bial overnight success, as was its talented owner - topliner.
