RALEIGH - Employment Security Commission
offices across the State will stay open December 23 and
December 27 to process unemployment insurance
claims. Governor Jim Holshouser said today.
The Governor recently announced that most state
offices would be closed the entire week of December
23-27 as an energy-saving measure.
“We expect about 14,000 jobless workers to file
claims on each of these days,” the Governor said.
“They will receive approximately $1.4 million in
benefits, and if our employment offices were closed on
those two days, it would only delay the payments,
which arc so necessary during the Christmas season.
Seven nev,' minority owned
banks have been chartered
recently, brining the total of
minority owned banks in the
United States to 68, according
ts Alex Armendaris, Director
Future Block Priorities
A major priority for black
Americans in coming times will
be a holding action to prevent
gains they achieved in the 1960s.
Black leaders see those gains
as being threatened by the
nation’s woreening economic
condition.
Eddie N. Williams, president
of the Joint Center for Political
Studies, points out in a recent
publication of a minority-
-oriented public interest
organization that nearly 9 per
cent of the black labor force is
now/without work.
Williams predicts black
unemployment of 13 per cent if
the national over-all
unemployment rate reaches 6
per cent,
Blacks, therefore, will be
watching closely for
follow-through by President
Ford on the hint he gave the*
congressional Black Caucus of
support for sons form of public
service employment.
Ford will get a period of
detente from black leaders. How
long it will last is anybody’s
guess.
For the present, though, black
leaders are breathing a collective
sigh of relief that the president
of the United States is not
Richard Nbcon.
Rep. Andrew J. Young,
D-Ga., who was the only black
member of the House to vote for
Ford’s confirmation as vice
president, has said that he
expects the new President to
deal with the black coranunity
in an atmosphere of “fairness.”
The major problem that
blacks had with the Nixon
Administration, Young said, was
“the constant feeling that the
government was against you.”
While black leaders are
prepared to give Ford a chance,
they are also prepared, as the
Rev. Jesse L. Jackson puts it,
“to give him a challenge.”
Blacks will be watching the
White House, not only for signs
of presidential action on the
economy, but for a reading of
the President’s intentions on
issues such as the extension of
the Voting Rights Act, a
question that will come up for
congressional decision in 1975.
Few, if any, bold new
initiatives can be expected from
the country’s major civil rights
organizations.
As the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People made clear at its annual
convention in New Orleans last
July, this is a time of
retrenchment; certainly of a
parrowed focus, with the
emphasis being placed on a few
issues, among them education,
employment, housing and
political action.
Another reason for a lowered

Armendaris sais the New
banks represent a “significant
improvement in the picture of
minority owned banking in the
United States.”
When the Office of Minority
Business Enterprise was formed
to offer technical and
management expertise to
minority business in 1969,
Armendaris said, only 31
minority banks existed.
Deposits in 1969 totaled
$396.6 million.
Today, minority owned
bank deposits are estimated at
almost .$1.2 billion,
Armendaris said.
“We certainly feel that the.
formation of these new
minority banks is a healthy
development, Armendaris said.
“In keeping with our charter to
assist minority business, we
will continue to encourage
formation of new minority
bank' ’’
