State U. Dr. Loon Sullivan Says His 'African Plan' Degans To Show Signs of Results WASHINGTON, D.C. -Despite the skepticism of some Black' leaders, Dr. Leon M. Sullivan says his so-called "Sullivan Plan" to get American corporations to end their policies and practices of racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa is beginning to show signs of results in the overall ' fight against the government sanctioned system of apartheid. .Lnotu -) 1 wSptkngrtMrfc'fiess conference at the National Press Building, Dr. Sullivan, who is a member of the General Motors Board of Directors, reported that one of the "encouraging signs" was the support the "Sullivan Plan" by South Africa's largest union organizatin, the multi-racial Trade Union Council of South Africa. Recently, South African mine workers ended a three-day protest strike against racial integration conceding a setback in their efforts to bar nonwhites from skilled jobs. Sullivan contends that the 10,000 striking workers failed to achieve unanimous support from their 22,500 member organization. Th end of the unsuccessful three day strike against racial integration in the South African mines is the most recent sign that this plan for non-segregation, equal opportunity and fair employment practices for all employees is working. The Sullivan Plan has been endorsed, by top officials of the U.S. Government, including Secretary of State Cyrus S. Vance and more than 125 U.S. companies. In a statement by Secretary Vance before chief executive officers of signatory companies in New York recently, he said: "The Sullivan Principles Implementation Movement is lighting a fire which is spreading around the world." Richard Moose, Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, in an address before university and college trustees said, recently, "I think it is fair to say that no single "Old wine and an old friend are good provisions." George Herbert initiative to date has had the impact of that launched by Rev. Leon Sullivan. His initiative in launching the six principles and subseqently in detailing them and setting up reporting and monitoring procedures has in fact set the pace in this entire area and and in our view continues to do so. We believe that the best course of action of the United Stales it to give our strong tupperfrtoRev,j Sullivan's efforts, an to urge that the others do the ame." Two years ago, Rev. Sullivan began his drive to moderate proposals which would crate legislation that wfluld ban, altogether, the operation of U.S. firms hi South Africa. While critics of the Sullivan plan havej suggested that "it permits! our (the) multi-national corporations to do do business in South Africa j without an ultimate ob jective of eliminating racial discrimination." Sullivan contends that his appoach will promote programs which will have a significant impact on improving living conditions and the quality of life for the non-white population. As a member of the General Motors Board of Directors, Sullivan, in 1975, raised the apartheid issue in one of the annual meetings. He urged the creation and development of policies that would have an impact on the conditions resulting from the segregationists policies of the South African government. Shortly after, he received the endorsement of 12 corporations to support the six principles. In testimony before the International Relations Committee-Subcommittee on International Economic Policy and Trade, and the Subcommittee on Africa Dr. Sullivan outlined his approach to the multi-international corporations saying, "I urged them to initiate a' voluntary effort, among . companies, to end racial discrimination in thier operations in the Republic of South Africa and to help improve the living conditions for Blacks and other Non-whites there, and to take a stand against apartheid." J He has also called for the total elimination of segregation by all American companies by 1980. and his general contracting license. M.K.
