VOL 26, NO. 42 New Political Party Faced With Racism "Black Camm >f Takes Over CHICAGO (NPI) - Racial an tagonisms among white and Ne gro delegates at the recent National Conference on New Politics convention prevented the establishment of a new pow er base. Billed as a coalition of left - wing forces, the delegates spent as much time putting each oth er down as condemning the Vi etnam war, President Johnson, the Central Intelligence Agency, and other latter-day tugaboos. Black delegates huddled in caucus meetings, rather than attending convention sessions, then took over the parley. Although a minority, the black delegates got their way at the convention by threatening to walk out. Then they pushed through a resolution condemn ing the “imperalistic Zionist war” -a slap in the face at the large number of Jewish del egates at the convention. And thus, the “Black Caucus” succeeded at the New Politics in doing what it had been unable to do at the Newark Black Pow er conference that preceded it. According to an observer at the Black Power conference, a “small group” of militant dele gates at the conference had sought to issue a strongly word ed condemnation of Israel, but there was sufficient opposition to such a move to have it voted down. But oddly enough the insid ious attack on the ‘'imperalis tic Zion War” carrieci over whelmingly at the Interracial and interreligious New Politics convention. Answering the anti-Zionist charge made at the convention, the American Jewish Congress noted that Israel had long been supported by such African lead ers as Jomo Kenyatta of Ken ya, Felix Houphouet-Boigny of the Ivory Coast; Leopold Sedar Senghor of Senegal; Halle Se lassie; Prime Minister Leonard Muiamba of the Congo-Brazza; A Milton Obote of Uganda, and Philibert Tsiranana of Malaga sy.
