Cold, bhie-blsck visages thrusting up through rivers of mist nestled la the night-shrouded valleys, gingerly peep at the distant source of warming rays. Tender maple saplings, shivering from the crisp night air that still creeps 'midst their half-naked branches, weep silently. Dewy drops fall to lie Ushers Union Gives Annual Xmas Dinner The Advisroy Committee of the Durham Ushers Union held its annual Christmas dinner Sunday, December 2, 1973 at 4:30 p.m. at the Ranch House; Chapel Hill.

The president of the Durham Ushers Union Mr. Clyde Monroe, Jr. stated, "We have had a properity year. The blessings are far to many to mention, but let us pause now and take time for stock taking, for evaluating, for revampinp for redirecti ng. and for ermapping. We close the books ob an old year experience and open another on a new year." Mr. Monroe said as Paul said; "Bret hem, I count not myself to have apprehended: But this one thing I do forgetting those things unto those thing which are behind, and reaching unto those things which are before riie." Mrs. Hattie B. Williams expressed thanks to Mr. Thomas Strodwick on behalf of the commltte for a job well done. The delicious dinner was enjoyed by the following members and their guests.

A gray squirrel scurries nervously and scampers deftly on, over, under, and among the hickory s delicate leafless limbs. He halts briefly to greet the newborn sun with a shake of the head, a shudder of the shoulders, which courses down his body, culminating in a twitch of the tail. Song sparrows flutter from scrub oak to granite block to goldenrod to fallen log, twitter with undisguised glee, each seeking to be the first to announce the glories of the freshly born morning.

Brown, former aide of President Nixon, has denied any wrongdoing in connection with government contracts to two firms he partly owns. "The only comment I have is I'm sure It doesn't put me in any kind of bad light," he said. "It's the policy of the government to get black-owned companies or maybe companies owned by poor whites into the mainstream." He said reports that he pressured the Small Business Administration into approving contracts for black businesses were not fair. "They're trying to put me in the position to being a bad guy," he said. "It's bad that some black got several hundred thousand dollars of contract?"

The firms are Cades Services Inc. of Santa Ana, Calif., and B&C Associates, a High Point public relations firm. "It's hard to get business for a small business, extremely hard," Brown said. "If small business don't have something to fall back on, they're going to be out of it. "I wish you'd mention that up to 196,8, ?! businesses, including those owned by Macks, ware not helped In any substantial way," he said. "Everybody knows that nowhere in the history of the $60-billion contracting by the federal government were blacks ever helped until recently. Now that's a great tragedy, if someone wants to talk about tragedies." Asked whether he felt he fell into the "socially and economically disadvantaged" category, Brown replied: "That's a matter of determination for the SBA. And the determination was made years ago that blacks, Spanish-speaking and other minorities, by and large, were disadvantaged, unless your resources were a million dollars or something. Because most black never had an opportunity to go into these things, (See BROWN Page 7A) -TfcRBORO - Three young men were sentenced to die in the North Carolina gas chamber for rape late Sunday morning in an unusual session of Edgecombe County Superior Court here.

WASHINGTON, D.C., -In a hard-hitting statement before a Congressional subcommittee, Thomas S. Kleppe, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration said today that recent charges and allegations concerning the SBA were prompted by political animosities rather than a genuine Interest in helping improve the agency's service to small business. Kleppe told the Subcommittee on Small Business of the House Banking and Currency Committee which is conducting hearings on SBA operations, "I believe your Subcommittee has been deliberately misled, that these hearings are being used for purposes that have nothing to do with helping us serve the small businessman better." Kleppe asserted that the charges and allegations concerning a number of SBA officers, speifically the Richmond, Virginia office, were prompted by the former director of the SBA Philadelphia office, Russell Hamilton, to "direct attention from the FBI and Grand Jury" Investigation of his (Hamilton's) own office." Acknowledging that, problems do exist in the loan portfolio of the Richmond office and that improvements can and are continually being made in agency operations, Kleppe avowed, "SBA and I have nothing to hide." Kleppe said he was outraged by the statement that corruption was pervasive "from top to bottom." "This is an indictment of 4,000 loyal, hardworking employees and I resent it," he said.

"This plan, approved by the Court, is offensive and in our opinion unconstitutional," NAACP General Counsel Nathaniel R. Jones said in New York, "because it relegates 21,000 black children to segregated schools. It fails to eliminate the vestigee of segregation root and branch." In Memphis, Atty.
