Broadcast Bill Passed by House,
Before the Senate
Now Pending
Television is the most
powerful means of
communication today and
white broadcasters often give
the impression that they are
determined that Blacks will not
share in this power.
Power, in a capitalistic
society, usually is equated with
ownership and the money it
represents. By that yardstick, it
is devesting to realize that not
one of the nation's 697
commercial television stations
is presently owned by Blacks
or even has - a substantial
minority ownership Interest.
Only 25 of almost 7,000 radio
stations are controlled by
Black owners
And the Broadcast
Establishment wants to keep it
that way. Broadcasters are
trying to push through the U.S.
Congress the "Broadcast
License Renewal Act" (H. R.
12993,) which in its present
form would destroy forever the
possibility of Blacks gaining
access to the media.
The bill was recently passed
by the House by an
overwhelming majority vote. If

"I'm calling on every
American, especially young
people, to get the penny back
In circulation, and keep it
there," Mrs. Mary Brooks,
"Director of the Mint, said
today. "I'm calling on the
banking industry to welcome
the return of pennies during
the month of June. Ym urging
schools, churches, charities,
retail establishments and others
to examine ways and means to
involve their 'members in
collecting pennies for deposit."
The price of -copper has
"retreated, closing at $1.10 per
pound on May 24. There will
be no aluminum penny. The 62
billion pennies produced
during the past 15 years have
no numismatic value and
because of the huge mintage'
they will never attain great
value.
- Nevertheless, speculators
and hoarders of pennies have

President Nixon last week
protesting the placement of
Defense Department
advertising in the white media
and denying it to the Black
The message reads: "Mr.
President: The 7-column,
17-inch, Army Opportunities
ads appearing currently in the
White Metropolitan Dally Press
are the most blatant examples
of economic racism
perpetrated by an insensitive
national administration against
the Black Press of America."
"How can the Executive
Branch of our National
Government enforce equal
economic opportunity statutes
when the Federal Governments
permits its Defense
Department to openly
discriminate against the sole
Black-owned communications
medium of 25 million Black
Americans, a people more
numerous than the populations
of 157 other nations?"
"The expenditure of
Federal advertising dollars
without observing an equitable
advertising policy is the gravest
form of instkttlgnal racism, and.
economic" criminality. We
demand that the Defense
Department be forced to obey
the Equal Economic
Opportunity statutes and its
