Ministerial
Alliance Calls
For Protest
Similar to other groups
around the world, the
Durham Interdenomiria- ,
tional Ministerial Alliance
was very critical of Judge
Dupree's decision not to
grant a new trial for the
Wilmington Ten. In a
statement released shortly
after Dupree's decision
was announced, the
ministers called for
citizens to become engag
ed in active protests.
Dupree's "decision, the
statement read, ''proves;
beyond the shadow of a
doubt that in North
Carolina the federal
courts are just as racist as
the state courts.
"We do hereby serve,
notice that 1 million Black
citizens of North Carolina
will not tolerate the con
tinued , imprisonment of
' the Reverend Benjamin F. :
Chavis, Jr, If we. cart not
get justice in' thecourttr
then we shall certainly get
justice in the streets.
We call upon all black
ministers of the state of.
North Carolina to join,
with the Durham In
ter denominational
Alliance in actively pro
testing against this blatant .
denial of fundamental
human rights. A threat to .
justice and freedom
anywhere is a threat to
justice and freedom
everywhere. As long as
our innocent black leaders
are not free then we are
not free."
In a letter to the General
Counsel of the , Depart
ment of Defense, CCCO,
a national- military
counseling agency, charg
ed today at the DOD is
perpetuating a fraud on
the American people by
promoting legislation that
will effectively overrule
Court of Military Appeals
decisions designed to curb
recruiter abuse. The pro
posed amendment to the
Uniform Code of Military
Justice was passed by the
Senate without debate on
June 13th as part of the
giant military authoriza
tion bill. According to
CCCO, the House Armed
Services Committee ap
parently has no intention
of adding this provision to
their authorization bill,
but instead will be content
to rely on the Joint Com
mittee to slip this measure
into law, without House
consideration.
According to Jon Lan
dau, attorney for CCCO,
"the Court of Military
Appeals decisions, which
have voided enlistments
where recruiter abuse was
shown, have only now
begun to expose the extent
of fraudulent recruiter
practices. The Court of
Military Appeals, the
highest military court
which is composed entire
ly of civilians, ruled in the
'Catlow-Russo' decisions
that public policy
demands that recruiter
abuse be curtailed by
voiding the enlistments of
young Americans charged
with military crimes where
it could be showri that
their recruiters and acted -
fraudulently."
' According to Lanaau,
"for each member of the
military who was able to
prove a defective enlist
ment under these rulings,
there are dozens who can
not prove fraud since they
have no evidence or
witnesses. Still, these
court rulings were leading
to censure and even pro
secution of some
recruiters for their
fraudulent practices. Prior
to these Court of Military
Appeals rulings, there
were less than a dozen
reported military cases in
volving prosecutions for
fraudulent recruiting in
the history of American
military justice."
"Rather than seeking to
end recruiter abuse, by its
action in pushing to
amend the Uniform Code
of Military Justice, the
DOD has demonstrated
that it intends to cover up
recruiting scandals once
and for all. This DOD
proposed amendment in
effect declares open
season for recruiters on
disadvantaged American
youth. Once this bill
becomes law, the major
restraint will be removed
which had acted to force
recruiters to follow the
law despite intense
pressure from their
superiors to meet
recruiting quotas at
almost any cost."
CCCO is the largest
civilian military counsel
ing organization in the
country with offices in
Philadelphia and San.
Francisco.

The group left Raleigh

as the sun was beginning to
rise, for Toronto. The trip
offered varied experiences
for the young people as
they toured and "tasted'
along the way.
Mrs. Rashkis noted that
"Once you've seen excellent
productions of Shakespeare
plays, you will really learn
to understand and enjoy his
works." These young
people not only saw some
of the plays, but had a'
chance to talk with an
actor and a director from
the Avon Theatre Company.

his summary of the trip that
