The 'Republican rendition

obviously do not really consi

Perhaps this is because of the

fects in a particular congres
sional district.
Urban districts tend to have
large black populations and
poor whitORf Nevertheless, the
unempioylhent question is
catching fire again as more
middle,class whites join the
unemployment roles.
The high level of non-white
unemployment got Congres
sional Democrats jumping
and now the Republican re
presentatives districts are be
ginning to reflect the jobless.
The jobless rate popped up in
July and is just sitting up
there in the sky.
Seven point four million per
sons are unemployed, 2.8 mil
lion lost their jobs. Total em
ployment is up, but the num
ber of white people interested
in working is going up faster
man atanauic juuo.
The Republicans for their
part have attempted to take
the offense with a Jobs Crea
tion Act drafted by Rep. Jack
Kemp (Republican) N.Y., and
Senator James A. McClore
(Republican) of Idaho. This
measure proposes to cut un
employment through an array
of tax incentives to encourage
capital formation.
Its 15 provisions range from
cutting the corporate tax rate
to 42 percent from 48 percent
and dropping all individual
taxes on dividends, to increas
ing the investment tax credit
to 15 percent or more and
allowing inflation adjustments
for depreciation.
Representative Kemp, who
quarterbacked the San Diego
Chargers and the Buffalo Bills
before he turned politician,
believes that lowering tax rat
es will expand the private
sector of our economy and
_ increase employment oppor
tVjpntthBiom**
The Jobs Creation Act,
which collected 132 Congres
sional sponsors, needs a firm
push by the Republican party
Presidential candidate. Rep.
Kemp has now refined and
simplified his approach to
include both business and per
sonal tax-rate reductions.
Congressman Kemp has
gone to the sideline with a plan
for the Republican team-play
which will inadvertently bene
fit both blacks and whites, but
he needs the coach’s o.k.
before we can watch any

After overcoming these
and other obstacles. Ferry
had to find a manager with the
right experience to satisfy the
airlines Mr. Travel represents
and to do the kind of job that
would keep his business in the
black.
A routine business telephone
call introduced Perry to "Ru

experience with the travel and
entertainment industry were
exactly what businessman
Perry needed.
Fenderson worked with an
Atlanta travel agency and
later for the Atlanta Interna

served as sales manager for
the hotel.
The travel company receiv

authorized the agency to re
