SENTENCED
Greensboro - Horace F.
Ward, 43, of Rocky Mount,
was fined $10,000 and placed
on probation for three years
by a federal court in Wilson
today (6-12) for income tax
evasion.
Ward was charged with five
counts of income tax evasion
for the years 1966-70. He
pleaded nolo contendere to
one count, and the others
were dismissed by the court.
Judge John D. Larkins
directed Ward to pay all
taxes, penalties and interest
due the government for the
year 1969, plus pay all court
costs. Ward must also keep
the court informed of his
progress in settlement of the
taxes owed for the years
involved in the dismissed
counts.
According to the Internal
Revenue Service, Ward had
understated his income tax
liability for the period in
question by $81,110.00.

By AL WASHINGTON
DETROIT — Early next
year the first black-owned
TV station in the world will
begin transmitting pro
grams keyed to the interest
of blacks.
A Detroit group, headed
by Dr. Wm. V. Banks, has
been awarded a permit to
build the television station.
The permit was awarded to
Dr. Banks by the Federal
Communications Commis
sion.
It authorizes WGPR, Inc.
to construct and operate a
TV station on Channel 62 in
Detroit. WGPR, Inc. is the
owner of radio station
WGPR-FM in Detroit.
Dr. Banks said what was
teemingly an impossible
dream is now an attained
goal.,
“This is an example of
what free enterprise is all
about, and an example of
what minority groups in the
United States can achieve
while working within the
system’ of free enterprise,”
be said.
The^ move to establish
America’s first black-owned
TV station began when
WGPR, Inc. filed an appli
cation with the FCe on Oct.
Stomach Upset
by Gas and Acid?
Di-Gel ®with Simethicone quickly
relieves both acid and gas.
This unique discovery breaks
up and dissolves trapped gas
bubbles. Your relief is more
complete because Di-Gel takes
the acid and the gas out of acid
indigestion. When you eat too
well, demand Di-Gel. Tablets,
liquid. Product of Plough, Inc.
25, 1972,
Dr. Banks credits the
success to the hard work
and dedication of an in-
teg r a t e d team of key
WGPR executives, who
helped to bring about the
realization of his dream of
a black-owned TV station.
Those named by the pres
ident to begin operation of
the T Vstation are Mrs. Ivy
Banks, vice presddent-sec-
retary; James W. Panagos,
vice president for sales and
personnel: George E.
White, vice president for
programming; Ulysses W.
Boykin, assistant to the
president and director of
public relations, and Gary
Schmidt, chief engineer.
WGPR-TV has outlined
plans for construction of a
tower and transmitter site
near the Detroit city limits.
Studios will be. located in
the inner city. Negotiations
for studio space are now
being conducted with the
Masonic Temple, 500
Temple St.
The timetable is planned
to have the station in oper
ation sometime in 1974. Fa
cilities will be first class
with the latest equipment,
including production facil
ities, studios for video tap
ing and adequate space for
presentation of live TV
shows. Telecasting will be
in full color, according to
officials.
Ninety per cert of the
station’s programming is
expected to be locally pro
duced, and of special inter
est to blacks and those who
participate in their ad
vancement.
The cost of putting the
new TV station on the air is
well over a million dollars.
Under the FCC rules,
WGPR, Inc. had to sho'w
these financial resources to
guarantee the first year’s
operation.
Not only was WGPR, Inc.
able to meet this require
ment, but a total of $123,000
in advertising was pledged
for the first 12 months the
station is on the air.
Those advertising com
mitments have been re
ceived from General Motors
Corp., $25,00; Ford Motor
Corp., $25,000: Old Pro
Clothes, $30,000; Sears Roe
buck and Company. $25,000:
Chrysler Corp., $10,000 and
the K-Mart Division of S. S.
Kresge Company, $8,000.
HOSPITAL QUIPS
Fewer Black Democrats
Since 1932 when Franklin D.' Roosevelt put
together the New Deal voting coalition, U.S. blacks
have consistently voted Democratic. .
A survey by the University of Michigan, however,
reveals that the Democratic Party can no longer take
the black vote for granljed. Since 1968, the survey
reports, 16 percent fewer American blacks identify
with the Democratic Party. An increasing number
have become independents, declining to identify with
either party.
During tha Kennedy and Johnson Administration,
after eight years of civil rights legislation under two
Democratic Presidents, 85 percent of the blacks
declared themselves Democrats.
Last year, however, when Arthur H. Miller directed
the survey for the University of Michigan’s Institute
for Social Research, the 85 percent had dropped to
69 percent.
Miller says the blacks suffer from disappoiniment
and unfulfilled expectations. Martin Kilson of
Harvard, a specialist in black politics, attributes the
change to an increase in black prosperity. As more
blacks move into the middle class, he explains, they
become more conservative, seeking to preserve the
economic status they’ve achieved. Thus, their upward
mobility inclines them toward more conservative
poUticians.
