8A THE CAROLINA THUS SAT. DEC 14. 1974 DR. LAVON1A ALLISON ' I V OoOflafOS (Continued LEE From Front r-ge) although women delegates ruled out their support of the walkout. The action to delete the controversial section from the language of the charter was led a number of Democratic governors. Their action provoked a storm of protests from state party chairman, labor delegates and some members of Congress who labelled it a set out to blacks. Black delegates were particularly incensed at the party's present affirmative action programs, which resulted in fewer of their numbers at the Kansas City convention than were in attendance at the 1972 Miami Beach Convention. There was a dtop in black delegate participation from 15 per cent at Miami Beach in 1972 to 9 per cent at the Kansas City conference. Sterssing his objection to the burden-of proof language in the new charter, Gary, Ind. mayor Richard Hatcher said "we have learned that affirmative action does not guarantee access to blacks." Although North Carolina was represented by the chairman of the charter commission, Duke University president Terry Sanford and two minority members of the commission, the state's minority representation at the mini-convention had fallen to 11 per cent, compared to a ,20 per cent minority delegation in attendance at the 1972 convention. Many of the state's minority delegates admitted they were unhappy with the decline in the progress they feel they made in 1972. Dr. E. Lavonia Allison of Durham, who was North Carolina's only representative on the committee which drafted minority representation rules for the Kansas City convention, said problems with black advancements in the state is making it difficult on minority members who had agreed to accept less than mandatory quotas. "A lot of blacks want quotas because they feel that's what thye will have to get in order to have fair representation," she said. ,, Howard. - Lee, mayor of ; Chapel Hill and a member of the Democratic National Committee, said he was not at all satisfied with the makeup of the minority and female representation in the state's delegation to Kansas City. He said he would make an official objection. Lee also said he would call a conference of minority members around the first of the year to review the situation of minorities in the party and discuss possible changes. , , "The present situation reflects badly on our state and is disturbing," Lee said. "We have not moved either aggressively or . progressively enough since 1972. Dr. Allison Had Key Role At Kansas City Conference Dr. E. Lavonia Allison of Durham waaijnWof; number : cf blacks who played! key roles in the formulation of the charter adopted- by the Democratic Party at' its Mid-term Convention last week in Kansas City.
