Jeffers ATLANTA - The Atlanta mayoral race ran into serious problems for former Ambassador An drew Young last week when Mayor Maynaid Jackson made remarks that caused Young to place distance between him and Mayor Jackson. Apparently in an ef fort to defend his ad ministration against at tacks launched by black supporters of leading white, contender Sidney Marcus, Mayor Jackson stated that "blacks who are supporting Marcus arc victims of self hatred. . . .and they are like the blacks who wanted to remain on the plantations after slavery was over " He also refer red to Marcus black supporters as "shuffling and grinning." Mayor Jackson made the remarks when blacks for Marcus accused his administration of "driv ing white businesses from! downtown Atlanta" and said that Young was a copy of the mayor. Blacks made the remarks after the popular black candidate in the October 6 race, Reginald Eaves, pledged his support for Young. The endorsement was an apparent blow to Marcus, who began making his first campaign stops in the black community, seeking both, votes and influential bVicks who can swing uMre black support to his campaign. Mayor Jackson - said that ihe remarks by the blacks had angered him, but they had proved em barrassing to Young who first said that he did not feel it was necessary to defend or,;explain the mayor's remarks. But later, Young told a flock of reporters who showed up at one Of his cam paign spots, .The mayor and Xt don't have anything in common ex cept that we are both black." : i Marcus, who attemp ted to gain canpaign mileage from the mayor's remarks, called the remarks "race-' baiting , and said that "would not ( allow the mayor" ft divide the city along racial Ines." While it would appear that Marcus is gaining black support from the number of blacks visible in his campaign ap-(-pearances, some promi nent black are reporting that Marcus is paying enormous suras of . money to blacks to cam paign for him. Marcus ;and Young will face each other in a Tun-off election Tues day, October 27. 1 :
