10 Most Outstanding Events Os ’67
By Negro Press International
Here is a list of what NPI
considers to have been the 10
most outstanding events In the
Negro community during 19G7.
The occurences are not listed
according to time, sequence or
relative significance:
1. The interracial wedding
of Guy Smith to Peggy Rusk,
daughter of Secretary of State
Dean Rusk. The wedding was
handled fairly by the mass
media, and mixed marriages
became a little less of a na
tional bugaboo.
2. The Negro in Vietnam
war. Because oi the Negro
fighting man’s valor in the Asian
conflict, the black man’s image
has been enhanced. Returning
servicemen may play key roles
in the civil rights struggle back
home.
3 The election of two Ne
gro mayors of major cities -
Carl Stokes in Cleveland and
Richard Hatcher in Gary. Both
men have problem cities to ad
minister, and the eyes of the
world are on their every ac
tion.
4. The Rev. James Groppi’s
leadership of open-housing ef
forts in Milwaukee. Fr. Grop
pi’s actions are continued evi
dence of white involvement in
the civil-rights struggle, at a
t ime when some are seeking to
As Selected By NPI
make it a "Negro-only” battle.
5. H. Rap Brown’s continu
ation of his predecessor Stokely
Carmichael’s war against the
"establishment.” Both SNCC
leaders were identified with the
slogan, "Burn, baby, burn!” -
but the flame of unrest had teen
ignited long before their arri
val on the racial scene.
6. Muhammad All’s decline.
The world’s heavyweight
champion was kayoed out
side the ring -- after making
anti-draft remarks in a country
supposedly guaranteeing its
citizens freedom of speech.
7. The New Politics con
vention in Chicago, which show -
ed that the race problem must
be dealt with successfully be
fore any major breakthrough
in politics or leadership can
be achieved.
8. The fall of Adam Clay
ton Powell Jr. Once the high
est elected Negro official, he
declined in political influence,
while continuing to be a symbol
of black resistance.
9. The appointment of Thur
good Marshall as the first Ne
gro Supreme Court justice.
This, in NPl’s view, was' the
crowning achievement of the
year.
10. President Johnson’s ap-
THE VETERAN’S
CORNER
EDITOR'S NOTE: Below are
authoritative answers by the
Veterans Administration to
some of the many current ques
tions from former servicemen
and their families. Further in
formation on veterans benefits
may be obtained at any VA of
fice.
* * *
Q -- I am attending school
on a half-time basis under the
new GI Bill. My wife and I
are expecting our first child in
approximately two months.
What should I do to obtain in
creased training allowance
from the date of the child's
birth?
A-- You should notify VA
immediately when the child Is
born. Benefits will be payable
from that date, if you submit
a copy of the child’s birth
certificate within one year.
* * #
Q -- I was married in 1963.
My husband was a veteran of
World War 11. Approximately
two years later he died. Short
ly thereafter I made applica
tion for widow’s pension. How
ever, the VA disallowed the
claim because we had not been
married for five years and had
no children. Has there been
any change in the law? If there
has been a change, is it too
late to file a new claim?
A The Veterans Pension
and Readjustment Assistance
Act of 1967, which became ef
fective Oct. 1, 1967, has reduc
ed the five-year requirement to
one year. You should apply
again for widow's pension. It
is not too late.
* * *
Q --1 presently received edu
cational assistance from the
VA under a program known as
the War Orphans Educational
Assistance Act. My father was
killed in the military service.
I am to be married soon. Will
this terminate my entitlement
to this benefit.
A— No. Marriage does not
affect your entitlement to edu
cational assistance as the child
of a man killed or permanent
ly disabled as a result of his
service in the armed forces.

Growth and Reconstruction or
ganization (NEGRO), has vowed
to continue running the buses,
regardless of court injunction -
and to go to jail for contempt
of court, if necessary.
His bus lines operate in Har
lem and in Jamaica, Queens,
where transportation service Is*
said to be poor.
The Harlem service provides
dally transportation to and from
City Hall, as well as operating
within key points in the neigh
borhood.
The Queens service was
started after Negro residents
complained that it was hard to
get to Interfaitn nospitai, which
Dr, Matthew founded.
Why is he running his Har
lem buses - despite the injunc
tion?
“I had the personal experi
ence...of having to go to court
to answer a transportation com
plaint and having to wait for
half an hour before a bus came
by and another half-hour before
a taxi picked me up,” he said.
The neurosurgeon also com
plained about bus service which
existed in Watts before he open
ed a line there.
Transportation is a particu
larly critical problem in the
riot-torn neighborhood because
of the difficulty many residents
have in getting to jobs In out
lying areas.
