driver, has been cited for deve
loping an idea that will save

Never Sang For My Father."
Miss Parsons met the former

from President Nixon in recog
nition of the suggestion.
The Labor Department's
Manpower Administration, by
law, reimburses the Post Office
each year for its franked-mail
services. Mr. Hay man's re
search indicated, however, that
the payment would remain
about the same each year,
barring major changes in the
mail load or postal rates. He
suggested that the annual pos
tal survey be made only when
there are indications of major
change.

Candidates Win Southern States
WASHINGTON - Of more
than 300 black candidates who
ran for political office in the
South in the November 3 elec
tions, 114 - or more than a
third of the total -- won races
to give Southern blacks their
greatest gains in any campaign
year since Reconstruction, the
Joint Center for Political
Studies reported.
Across the Southern United
States, black candidates were
elected to such varied posi
tions as probate judge, school
board member, mayor, prose
cutor, city councilman, alder
man, state representative, state
senator and Congressman, ac
cording to the Center, a non
partisan research, information
and service program co-spon
sored by Howard University
and the Metropolitan Applied
Research Center (MARC).
JCPS assessed the gains for
the South's blacks based upon
data it gathered in a state-by
state, post-election survey of
the voting. Information avail

In Look Article
NEW YORK - The con
flict that exists between thfs
country's whites and blacks
"will not be healed within the
lifetimes of any Americans
now alive," eminent British
scientitt and author C. P.
Snow declared today.
In a signed articles appear
ing in the current issue of
Look Magazine, Lord Snow
commented on the race issue
in light of his recent visit to
America. He observed:
"The more one listens to
young blacks, the more un
availing all solutions seem. It
is easy to understand why
they are turning to black
studies, and their own self
imposed segregation; but that
is the opposite of an answer
to the problem ...
"A sizeable fraction of
them, including many of their
ablest young, are in a situa
tion of feeling like revolu
tionaries, of seeing nothing
but a revolutionary outcome,
insude a lerger society that
feels and sees precisely the
reverse."
What the worfd really
needs is a "Black Einstein,"

of mathematics, who announced
the grant. Miss Burch is a
sophomore at the university
and Harrell is a junior, min
oring in physics.
Speigner's many contributions
to public education in Durham
as well as throughout the
State.
The distinguished educator
was appointed to the Durham
City Board of Education in
1964. He was appointed to
membership on the Board in
1967. During August, 1969, he
was elected Chairman of the
Board. Through his dedicated
leadership as Chairman of the
Durham City Board of Educa
tion to the unitary system has
operated more smoothly in
Durham than in most school
