NEWS DIGEST Compiled From AP Wire Davis Brown Rawis Woman charges champ with harassment NEW YORK - Lori Davis, 29, of Bay Shore, N.Y., a New York city suburb, has charged heavyweight champion Mike Tyson with sexually molesting her, and, accwding to her attorney, plans to sue for $ 1 million damages for "trauma, shock and mental anguish." Davis said she was dancing at a disco recently when "someone grabbed my behind under my dress." 'Free Brown' effort gains little support COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina’s black community does not seem to be jumping on the bandwagon a New York activist tried to get rolling for the release from prison of soul legend James Brown, a published report said last Friday. Brown was sentenced last week in circuit court in Aiken to six years in prison for aggravated assault and failing to stop fof police. Five days after the Rev. A1 Shaipton of New York called Brown's jailing racist and urged a "Free James Brown" movement, few black South Carolinians seem to have joined up. The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer reported from its Columbia bureau. Sharpton is widely known for his role as adviser to Tawana Brawley, a black New York teen-ager who alleged that several white men abducted and raped her last year. A New York grand jury concluded in September that her allegations were a hoax. Telethon garners more than $9.4 million NEW YORK - Lou Rawls held his parade of stars, including Neil Sedaka, Harry Belafonte and Ray Charles, in Los Angeles recently to help raise more than $9.4 million for the United Negro College Fund. African students isolated from Chinese BEIJING (AP) - Authorities recently held about 140 African students and six Americans in a Nanking hotel after a weekend of clashes between Chinese and black African students. Thousands of Chinese youths chanting^"KilI the black ghosts!" on Monday surrounded the central Chinese city^ train station as the students tried to depart for the capital by train, American witnesses said. But police would not let the Africans embark, one American student said. Governor halts Ray parole hearing NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Gov. Ned MeWherter recently blocked a Jan. 26 parole hearing for the man convicted in the 1968 sniper slaying of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. MeWherter exercised a law giving the governor authority to halt early parole hearings for prisoners convicted of certain crimes. James Earl Ray, 60, is serving 99 years in prison for first-degree murder of King in Memphis on April 4,1968.

The report also revealed that Afro-American youths account for fewer placements in gifted and tal- for Civil Rights. The Coalition's study reportedly projected the rates at which students of different races suffered various school penalties and received special education referrals. These occurrences are startling considering that the 6.6 million Afro-American students in public schools comprise only 16 percent of the overall enrollment. Yet, they receive 31 percent of the corporal punishment. By contrast, white stu dents, who make up 70 percent of students, receive only 60 percent of Racial Disparity In School Discipline Stales wHh the largest tJHIerence between suspension and corporal punishment rates o* Wack and wh«e students In pubMc schools I Top Mn nm»» moro W»C* cofpO'M punth/mM" yMU. ] Top MO suM« wtMro moro bUc* ttixMot* ar* (]]Q Oiapaoty 0 bo*i caMpooM •uapOfKMd than wbiM.
