Chuck Stone Quits "Today" TV
Program Over Racial Issues
NEW YORK - Chuck
Stone, the well-known author
and lecturer, who lias contri
buted commentaries on racial
issues to the NBC Television
Network's "Today" program,
announced on the air last Week
that he was withdrawing be
cause, he said, of his apparent
inability to communicate with
"white mid-America."
Mr. Stone said:
"What does this all mean?
That things are hopeless for
this country? Certainly not.
We have survived several major
wars, depressions, and any
number of rebellions. We still
also survive our present ten
sions and alienations, but time

Boating has been proven a

is one sport you're supposed to

Another emergency that
often gets overlooked is the

experts point out that even
the best of rubber is slightly
porous, so perfectly good
tiros tend to lose a little air
over a period of time, wheth
er they are in use or not.
To be sure that your spare
tiro will bo fully inflated and
ready for use if, and when, it
is needed, it is a good idea to
check its pressure each time
you inflate the other tires.
If the manufacturer of
your car recommends differ
ent pressures for front and
rear, inflate the spare to the
highest recommended pres
sure. In this case, always
carry a tire pressure gauge
to enable you to adjust the
pressure of the spare if it
should be mounted on a
wheel calling for the lower
pressure.

to offer a solution, but all I've
got left is still a warm, undying
affection for my fellow man,

lief that somehow my country
will one day be able to get
it together."
Stuart Schulberg, producer
of "Today," who had invited
Mr. Stone to appear regularly
on the program more than a
year ago, said he regretted
Mr. Stone's decision. "Natural
ly it's depressing and discourag
ing for any communicator to
receive the sort of antagonistic
mail Chuck has received late
ly," Mr. Schulberg said. "I
felt Chuck's contributions were
important, whether consistent
ly popular or not, because they
did convey the very real dis
may of a minority which de
served to be hears through
the media."
During a recent appearance
on "Today," Mr. Stone labeled
the Indochina war as "racist"
and said that American Ne
groes had only "one hope --
the kids who are like beauti
ful flowers growing in the
swamp" of American society.
The statements drew heavy
critical mail, although previous
reaction to Mr. Stone's views
generally was evenly divided.
After today's program went
off the air, telephone calls to
NBC in New York were
running 10 to 1 in favor of Mr.
Stone continuing his contribu

Training Group
Reports on Aid
To Officials
NEW YORK - Noting that
the 1,500 black elected offi
cials in the nation have special
needs, the head of the largest
training organization in the
civil-rights field predicted yes
terday that "their numbers will
more than double within the
next four years."
The comment was made by
Ronnie M. Moore, Executive
Director of the Scholarship,
Education and Defense Fund
for Racial Equality, Inc. (SED
FRE) in releasing an annual re
port of the group's activities in
aiding newly-elected minority
officials.
"Despite recent increases,
black elected officials still
make up only three-tenths of
1 per cent of the more than
half-million elected officials
across the country. Even
though I believe that their
numbers will more than double
within the next four years,
there will be no call for rejoic
ing until black elected officiate
number more than 50,000 - or
equal to the 11 per cent of the
population that is black," he
said.
In releasing the first year's
annual report of SEDFRE's
Technical Assistance Program
(TAP), Mr. Moore noted that
the greatest gains in black re
presentation have occurred in
the South:
"In the five years since the
passage of the voting Rights
Act of 1965, the number of
black elected officials in the
South has increased 800 per
cent. While that may sound im
pressive, it actually represents
a gain from an estimated 75 in
1965 to 656 now. But black
people are still critically under
represented there as well, and
there are still no blacks among
executives at the State level in
the South," Mr. Moore empha
sized.
He added that "more is ex
pected of the newly-elected
black official.
