Ms. Delia Man, treasurer of

Committee, said that her
organization is "particularly
fearful of Rev. Chavis' safety"
while he is detained at Central
Prison in Raleigh. Chavis and
nine others of the Wilmington
10 began serving a total of 282
years for convictions stemming
from riots which took place in
1971 in Wilmington. The ten
were ; engaged in organizing the
local community against - the
city's school system which was
said to be discriminatory to
blacks. They were convicted of
conspiring to commit arson and
attack emergency personnel one
year after a local grocery store
was fire bombed.
Just two weeks ago the U. S.
Supreme Court voted not to
hear the case which involves nine
black men and one white
women. All hope for federal
bond was lost last week when a
federal magistrate at the U. S.
District Court for Eastern North
Carolina refused to hear from
character witnesses or read
samples from some ISO
character affidavits during a
hearing on the bond question.

such as Rev. Ernest Gibson,

Senator Birch Bayh (D-lndiana)
recently stated that he believes
the United:States should reverse
its present diplomatic policy and
establish contacts with the
Popular Movement for the
Liberation of Angola. Bayh said
that the Popular Movement,
backed by Soviet and Cuban
forces, has become the dominant
faction in Angola for the
foreseeable future.
The Ford Administration
proposed, however, that the U.
S. openly provide aid to UNITA
in the South, and the National
Front in northern Angola. Bayh
predicts that if the National
Front and UNITA continue to
struggle, it will be on the level of
guerilla warfare and terrorism.
"Rather than supplying
equipment to prolong the
conflict, I believe that now is the
proper time to try to establish
direct diplomatic contacts with
the MPLA," Bayh commented
from his presidential campaign
office.
, Bayh realizes thatjthere is no
established or that they , will be
fruitful if made, but he contends
that this approach has a far
greater chance of success than
that proposed by the Ford
Administration. -

is the tragic fact that for large

' It must be clear to all

that whenever a government fails

those guarantees are denied to
some, a fundamental principle of
government is abused, distorted,
abandoned, and like a cancer, it
will continue to grow and spread
until Anally it gnaws at the
nation's most critical organs.'
Calling on Black America to
rally to the cause of parity for
