INTEGRATION: GREAT HOAX
SALISBURY - ‘ Integra
tion is the greatest hoax
that has been played on
Negroes since the emanci
pation proclamation was
signed by Abraham Lin
coln”, Attorney Herman
Taylor of Greensboro,
noted pioneer civil rights
lawyer, said here at Martin
Luther King's birthday
celebration at the Mt. Zion
Baptist Church where
several hundred persons
paid tribute to the late slain
leader.
Martin Luther King
didn't mean that Negroes
want a hand-out, but
desired that they possess
the land of freedom.
Negroes have reached a
new plateau in civil rights
and it is about time that
they must realize it. Unless
we take up the mantle
given to us by Dr. King and
other leaders, we will lose
the battle. The promised
land of freedom can be
possessed by black folks by
using voting power and

NATIONAL
President Ford disclosed in his recent State of the
Union Message that "the State of the Union is not
good.” As a means to improve the conditions of the
economy, Ford proposed a plan which included the
following elements:
*Temporary Tax Cut - a one-time cut of 12 per cent in
last year's taxes of which $12 billion is to be distributed
through rebates to individual tax payers.
*Permanent tax cuts - a $16.5 billion tax cut to
individuals with the largest reductions going to the
poorest tax payers and a $6 billion tax cut to
corporations.
*Energy Conservation - a $2 billion annual increase
in Revenue sharing funds with revenue distributed to
state and local governments.
*Federal Spending - a one year moratorium on
federal spending programs and a five per cent ceiling
for 1975 on increases in federal pay, food stamps, and
federal military and civilian retirement benefits.
♦Standby Controls - a measure wherein the President
will have emergency authority to ration gasoline and/or
allocate use of petroleum products and control their
prices.
*Aid to Utilities - a three year 12 per cent investment
tax credit for utilities that convert power plants from oil
to coal, and postponement of clean air standards for
utilities until 1985.
*Emission Contrls and Mileage Controls - a lessening
of strigent emission standards and voluntary emphasis
upon increasing gasoline mileage by 40 per cent by
1980.
♦Payments to Nontaxpayers - Direct federal
payments of $80 to each adult American who is so poor
he pays no income taxes.
♦Insulation Incentives - $150.00 tax credit for
home-owners who install storm windows or other
insulation with federal aid to those who cannot afford it.
♦Efficiency Labeling - . legislation requiring all
automobiles and home appliances to disclose the
amount of energy consumed and development of
voluntary standards to improve energy effenciency by
20 per cent within five years.
STATE
For a number of years, the amount charged
consumers by credit insurance companies was not a
major concern of North Carolina Insurance
Commissioner John Ingram. Recently it became
apparent to Ingram and his staff that credit insurance
rates run as high as 94 cents per $100. (almost $1.00 per
$100.00) and most companies pay out less than 30 cents
for every dollar collected in premiums. Learning from
the attorney general's office that he is within his rights

RALEIGH - Appointment
of a 20-member Human
Relations Commission was
announced today by Gover
nor Jim Holshouser.
At the same time, the
Governor announced the
appointment of Ronald K.
Ingle to serve as executive
director of the commission,
replacing Fred Cooper.
Members of the commis
sion and its executive
director serve at the
pleasure of the Governor
rather than terms of fixed
duration. For administra

commission members, Mr.
Ingle will give this
important commission a
fresh approach,” the Gov
ernor said.
Ingle, 40, has been
serving since 1973 as an
assistant secretary of the
Department of Administra
tion. As part of his duties,
he assisted the Governor in
various inter-state pro
grams, including working
with national and regional
governors’ conferences.
Prior to assuming that
position, he served for four
years as an economic
development representa
tive for the State.
Among others appointed
are:
Dr. George Fisher Ne
well of Winston-Salem,
retired Dean of Men and
Associate Professor of
Science at Winston-Salem
State University. He has
served as a member of the
Winston-Salem Zoning
Board for five years and as
a commissioner in the
Model Cities Program there
for three years.

finance power. These two
are the only kind of power
that America understands.
Negroes must learn to do
for themselves and stop
expecting a hand-out, if
they are to achieve the
things that Dr. King
believed in.
“There are already
enough civil rights laws
already passed. What the
Negro needs to do now is
implement the fourteenth
amendment that has been
defined by civil rights
lawyers in the struggle for
total freedom,” Mr. Taylor
emphasized.
‘‘Black is a word that has
taken our minds off of
integration”. Black stu
dents on white college
campuses were the first to
discover this and began to
change the hoax by
requesting ‘black studies
and black dorms' at these
schools.” The Negro must
not loose his identity. ‘‘We
are Negroes and will always
be Negroes". There is no
need by being misled by
the term black that has
been used to slow up the
progress, of civil rights".
Negroes must learn how to
advance their own cause
here in America. We have
the hardest time in the
world getting support for
our businesses, which
shoudln't be. Learn the art
of supporting your own. A
lesson can be learned from
the Jew' who has not lost his
identity. Those who arc
trained must not forget the
untrained. "Unless blacks
learn how to get their hands
on some finance power,
they can forget civil
rights". They must get into
the mainstream of Ameri
ca. "The clinching of a fist
and raising of a hand with a
sign and using the pass
word ‘right on brother' is
folly". For it means
nothing. What the Negro
needs to do is become an
aid and supporter to total
freedom by possessing the
land to the rights that arc
for all people.
Mr. Taylor told the
enthused audience who
constantly applauded his
address that "Martin
Luther King has made the
greatest contribution to
mankird that has been
made in the twentieth
century”. It is now up lo
the Negro to do what he can
to advance the catisc for
which Dr. King so gladly
fought for and believed in.
The Rev. F.dgar Frcnch.
director of Student Person-
ncll at Livingstone, a one
time associate w ith the late
civil rights leader in the
Montgomery Movement in
its beginning, paid tribute
to Dr. King and reviewed
some of the highlights of
Ihe effort. Mr. French said
that Dr. King was a disciple
of non violence, but was
fearless. He was coura
geous and practiced with
out fear freedom for all
people. He was the right
man with the right idea at
the right time. He was one
of those people who
believed that no part of the
American public could be
free until all were free.

domestic service workers
will be entitled to a
$2.00-an-hour minimum
wage effective January 1,
1975, Secretary of Labor
Peter J. Bren.ian announc
ed today.
The increase is a result of
the Fair Labor Standards

extended minimum wage
coverage for the first time
to 75 percent of all private
household workers. The
initial wage rate was $1.90
an hour.
Betty Southard Murphy,
administrator of the Em
ployment Standards Ad
ministration's (ESA) Wage
and Hour Division, said
that two more scheduled
increases - to $2.20 an
hour on January 1, 1976,
and to $2.30 on January 1,
1977 -will pul domestic
workers on a par with most
other FLSA-covered em
ployees.
The minimum wage
applies to private house
hold workers who receive at
least , $50 per calendar
quarter from one employer
or who work a total of more
than eight hours a week for
one or more employers.
Exempt from coverage
are persons employed as
casual babysitters or as
home companions to the
disabled or elderly.
Overtime pay at the rate
of time-and-a-half is re
quired for employees work
ing more than 40 hours a
week for one employer.
Live-in workers are exempt
from overtime coverage.
The reasonable cost or
fair value of board, lodging
and other facilities and the
employee's half of Social
Security taxes are allowable
tow'ard the minimum wage
if paid by the employer.
Employers are responsi
ble for determing whether
their employees are cover
ed under the Act, for
informing them of the new
wage rate, and for paying
them the ' required- wage
and overtime.

Hour Division offices listed
