Y. - The black social-protest movement has been "the most tingle powerful force" hi fostering national black pride but mote needs to be done at the grass roots level to help individual black underclass ( children develop self-esteem ' and -confidence, according to a neay psychological study. The study, "Children of the Dark Ghetto: A Developmental Psychology," states that black ghetto children still "face the same problems their parents faced" when they were young. While their "group and individual identities are changing in large measure because of the black ethnic ideology ," they nevertheless lack the "community-based support for their development." The study, made possible by grants from the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and the Carnegie Corporation of New York, has been published as a book by Praeger and is being distributed by ADL Barry Sitvertteut and Ronald Krate, who spent a combined 11 years teaching in Central Harlem, are the authors. They call for "a closer tie between black nationalism" and neighborhood institutions as a means of creating a new generation of black seeking "some values and goals in common with their white contemporaries in order that some sort of integrated republic can eventually arise." The authors, professors of pyschology at William Pater ion College of New Jersey, contend that by the time ghetto youngsters start school they have abeady developed distinct personalities, most of which are typified by antagonism toward adults. especially teachers. Professors Silver stein and Krate broke-the personalities dowa Into four type The ambivalents, constituting Hie majority, who longed for warm relation ships but "often were pulled in the opposite direction by the desire to appear self-reliant"; - The precocious independents, generally ' stubborn," unfriendly to adults and peers, although some were "known to associate with older children who were heavily involved in street culture activitie -- The submissives, representing "a significant minority," who tended to be "quiet, inactive, nonassertive, stoic, and socially isolated"; - The main streamers, most resembling middle-class white children who if not friendly to adults, "were at least cooperative and usually obedient" ' - The first three types, according to the psychologists, seemed to suffer "intense feelings of shame and doubt" stemming largely from a lack of adult emotional support in their own family life. Professors SuVerstem and Krate found "a pervasive mistrust of adults" among the children they saw growing up. Their pupils "appeared to be remarkably self-reliant and Independent" Many possessed the "strength, toughness, callousness and even brutishness" which equipped them for survival, but "these very characteristics had the effect of interfering with adult control and influence" over them. "Neither the threat of withdrawal of emotional support nor fear of beating (after a while) could make many of the children obedient to adult direction or keep them away from the peer and street influence parents feared," the psychologists said. The study contends that ghetto .. schools participate in "an insidious process that results in functional illiteracy" for most poor black students, marking them for life and ' "further diminishing their sense of pride, dignity and self-confidence." It notes that only those pupils who . display behavior which appeals to administrators and teachers are placed in the "best" Classes, where the instructor can "push them harder to read.' Little is expected of the rest, who are deemed 'less like middle-class children, and therefore, less promising as achievers." Professors Silver stein and Krate say this "sorting process" commits eight-year-olds to either "a middld dass or street- oriented lifestyle" for the rest of their lives. A tfk apathetically." Acknowledging that there have been developments in the past decade to increase black self-pride, they cite the rise of new organization, election of blacks to public office, and more authentic portrayals of black American life and culture in the media. They go on to say, however, that the Black movement remains "a relatively unguided process." According to. the psychologists, 'despite the wide acceptance of may be "encouraged in the mainstream development," but most are pushed into ' being 'one of the gang,' " or if not deeply committed to the street bated groap, are left to "laagossa pro-black slogans, relatively Jew indigenous structures and program 'hare been created k moer-eify black communities" to work with' - and help the children. Even with heightened racial pride, the authors continue, "mdividuals are left to race the consequences of economic exploitation and racism with very little support and direction. Survival is often bought at the price of diminished group cohesrweratt and heightened suspiciousness. Lacking are the kind of self-help institutions which many white ethnic and religious minorities established to maintain positive identity and meet specific group needs. According t Pweamt.

DIG BOYS GOT SOME PEOPLES' HONEY . . . SHOULD HELP THE MINORITIES IN THEIR STRUGGLES, TOO! WSHINGTON, D. C. - Attacking the federal government for passing-the-buck in response to demands by minority American for the formal establishment of minority economic participation in the nation's proposed plan for the reorganization of the "railroads in bankruptcy' , the National Business League recently released a stinging status report on the organization's push for one of the mechanisms to deliver parity to minority people in this country. Thwarted in its initial efforts to incorporate provisions in the official plan prepared by the United States Railway Association, prior to its submission to Congress, the 75 year-old association is now seeking to wage a battle against a proposal which is slated for passage or veto as a whole, with no provisions for amendment NBL President, Dr. Burrell, in analyzing status said: "What governemt is saying Berkeley G. the current the federal to us, and specifically USRA and CONRAIL, is that the Final Systems Plan is more sacrosanct than the United States Constitution, in that it cannot be amended. We have forwarded to Senators Birch Bayh (D..Ind.) and Clifford Case (R., N. J.) and some 30 selected members of the Congress and the Administration, recommended language for the amendment of the current plan." 'We seek only to assist this country", he continued, "as it attempts to recover economically, and to use the process of parity for the people as the vehicle. The time is short and unless action is taken immediately to (1) establish legislative policy, (2) create the NBL-proposed National Railroad Resource Center (NRRC), and (3) to provide adequate funds to support the national effort the Center will undertake; the opportunity for substantive minority economic participation in the railroad revitalization effort will br seriously eroded, and probably lost.' Senator Bayh, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on' Transportation Appropriations addressed the NBL 75th Annual Convention in Boston on 'Oct. 10, and in support of the NBL push for minority participation said: "Government money, THE PEOPLE'S MONEY' used to bail out the Lockheeds and Penn Centrals, benefits a limited class -the stockholders and management and the workers of those companies. Their equity is guaranteed by government intervention, anoiuu benefits of such intervention be broadened to include opportunities for blacks and other minorities? 1 say yes, they should." As designed, the NBL-proposed NRRC would serve to promote, assist, and coordinate nationally, the participation of minority people in manufacturing, meaningful employment,1 construction, investment, finance, and professional services in the railroad rehabilitation and restoration. An initial proposal was submitted by NBL in early 1975 for the establishment of the National Center, but responding federal agencies each claimed lack of both fiscal and administrative authority to act on the request to channel economic opportunities to the minority private sector and passed the mult-million dollar Bus., Professional Chain ACT Gains $1.3 Million Elects New Officers For Campus Rosoarch by Clarence F.

The total, surpassing a million dollars for the second straight year, , was, noted, Recently. byjCr Howard I '. Robinson, director of tji'e' Office' of Research Administration at A & T. Robinson said "the administrations'! inflationary policy and emphasis on the curtailment of government spending in all areas was primarily responsible for the lower level of funding for 1974-75, but the university was still successful in obtaining funding in key areas of its extra-mural program." Robinson noted that AAT during this period managed to generate the third largest amount of research funds of any of the state universities. He said A & T has in effect some $7,342,252 in ongoing research projects. . ' "We are highly pleased thai much of this research it people-oriented research; that is, (f it is successfully " completed,' It could have implications for the improvement of our national life," said Dr. Lewis C. Dowdy, Chancellor. He credits the surge to increased efforts by the school and the university's admission office. General Electric, a member of the A & T Industry Cluster, has given the university more than $120,000 in recent years and also equipment and on-loan professors. proposal to the traditional funding sources for the minority enterprise effort, the Cdmmerce Department's Office of Minority Business Enterprise and the Small Business Administration In taking that action,, the United States Department of Transportation, the Consolidated Rail Corporation (CONRAIL), and the U. S. Railway Association failed to investigate or ignored the fact that the total federal appropriation for technical assistance to minority business today, would not cover the projected cost of the Center which is $100 million. In reaction to the federal response, members of the Senate issued a formal request for procedures and structures in force or proposed which guarantee adequate minority economic participation under CONRAIL. Each of the initial respondents, with the addition of OMBE, addressed the NBL proposal and agreed on the need for the Center, yet were varied in their recommendations for implementation and funding; with the Secretary of Transportation using the size of the funding request as a deterrent to wholesale endorsement. To that point, Dr. Burrell assailed,' This is clearly a 'non-issue' which is being used to 1 divert attention from the central issue which is the governments's - proposed expenditure of billions of public dollars in subsidies to the majority business sector with no ' jprogmmAirtic plan for participation '''minorities:'' ' The NBL amendment assesses 4he potential creation of the NRRC as a dramatic step toward establishing a national partnership for achieving family and community self-sufficiency and economic stability through minority economic growth and expansion.

Naff Dafonsp Fund To Clear Reverend Hosea L. Williams Two Nov; Businesses To Opon In Northgafo "If Hosea Williams is jailed we will have seen the beginning of the Second Black Reconstruction," said Gerogia State Representative, Julian Bond, "if we allow them to take our most effective' and dynamic fighter for poor people, We will have left open the door to jail all Black and poor people. Hosea is our 'door-keeper,' " continued Bond. Georgia State Representative Hosea Williams was indicted by the Fulton County Grand Jury (23 white and 1 black) in a County that has a 40 Black population. Hosea has been arraigned on a felony charge for an alleged traffic violation, "One does not have to pull back the covers of justice far to see that the first step toward political persecution of civil rights leaders and the conspiracy to silence one of the' most effective Black politicians in the country, has been taken," said Senator Bond. The Georgia lawpassed in 1972, would require State Representative Hosea L. Williams to lose his seat in the Georgia Legislature, if convicted. A growmg number of Blacks throughout Georgia believe that Rev. Williams' outspoken, persuasive leadership in the fight against annexation, to save the City of Atlanta, is the underlying cause of the District Attorney's secret indictment. When told by Hosea that it seemed he was the only one ever convicted by this law, I understand how this law can be selectively applied against those who are intolerant of injustice. I have joined with Comedian Dick Gregory and Dr. Ralph David Abernathy in establishing a "NATIONAL REVEREND HOSEA WILLIAMS DEFENSE FUND". This trial has far greater significance to the Black community than Angela Davis' or Joanne Little's We must raise $50,000 by Thursday, November 20, 1975, for legal research; pre-trial investigations; special and technical testimony; court costs; and legal fees Hosea has one of the best legal teams ever assembled, with Attorney Marvin Arrington (City Councilman), Al Horn (President of the ACLU BoardX and hopefully the famed trial lawyer, who freed Angela Davis, Howard Moore. "Hosea has valiantly stood between poor people and injustice for 18 years. If we do not free him ': we will not be free. If we do not defend Hosea we will have left : ourselves defenseless.
