Burrell
NEW YORK-Tiie president of
one of the nation’s very few
interracially managed public
companies called today for a
greater number of black busi
nessmen to form companies
with the potential of "going
public.”
Berkeley G. Burrell, presi
dent of the Merchant Prince
Corporation, a black greeting
card company, said that "too
few black firms presently have
the scope or structure to be
come major public companies.”
Mr. Burrell, who is also
president of the National Busi
ness League and a key black
business advisor to the Nixon
Administration, said that
"black capitalism on a size
able scale would only result
when blacks have created com
panies with substantial eco
nomic power. Despite this prob
lem, >t might take many years
to transform today’s smaller
companies into important fac
tors in their industries and the
economy in general.”
Burrell, speaking at a press
conference held by Merchant
Prince Corp, in the Hotel
Roosevelt here, also said that
all-black managed companies
can have certain advantages
when they serve an ethnic on
limited market but firms seed
ing to become larger and even
■ f public companies should be
necessity by operated bv in
terracial management with an
aim to develop products for the
entire market.
He said that the Merchant
Prince, since its formation in
early 1960, was taking an in
terracial approach,. "Our of

Leon Manning, presi
dent of the Raleigh Uni
on of the American Fed
eration State, County
and Municipal Employ
ees, said Tuesday that
sanitation men and other
municipal employees
are planning to strike
against the city. He did
not say when the strike
would begin, however.
Speaking to newsmen, Mr.
Manning said, “We’re going to
have a strike. I know when it
will be, but I can’t tell you
vet. He also said officials of
the city were aware of the
threatened action.
He announced the corning
strike following a meeting of
one hour with City Manager W.
H. Carper. Also present were
over 100 sanitation, street re
pair and maintenance workers.
The meeting took place in the
sanitation department garage,
located on N. West Street.
After the meeting with Carp
er, which ended a 8:15 a.m.,
the sanitation men considered
and rejected a proposal to strike
this morning. It was 9:10 a.m.
before the last group of sanita
tion men left on their rounds.

Breakfast
Free For
150 Kids
BY EDDIE LEE
Editor's Note: Free break
fasts are served to any child
in the Southside area, who de
sires them. The meals are
available at Savoy’s Case, 204
W, South Street, and are served
from 7 a.m. until 8:30, thereby
giving the child time to make
it to school on time. Kits are
picked np in a bus, furni, ,-edt>
the Black Missionary Organize 0
tion. Herbert Wright is the per
son who made the bus avail
able. He also drives it.
Before we go into the break
fast program itself let me ex
plain who we are and what we
stand for. Each member of the
Black Missionary Party is now
.or has been a male resident
of Southside. We feel that the
only way we can function prop
erly is to have members who
have actually lived, worked,
and felt the physical conditions
of Southside. The patch we wear
is a symbol of our beliefs. The
cross represents all the Black
people that have been crucified
and persecuted through the
years. The red represents all
the blood these same people
have shed and are still shed
ding, and last the black back
ground represents us, the Black-
People. All of these combined
make up the patch.
Now we get down to the basic
facts behind the Breakfast Pro
gram. The idea behind our pro
gram is to feed as many of the
children in Southside as Is hu
manly possible. To do this we
need to have (1) a larger fund
raising effort to be able to
expand into other areas that
are trapped into the same situa
tion, (2) a larger and more de
pendable staff to help control
and maintain some semblance
of order, (3) a more plausible
means of transportation, and
(4) a better means of co-opera
tion and help from (A) the black
businessman (B) the black com
munity, and (C) the other a
gencies and groups that are
working In the Southside area,
trying to obtain a common goal.
That goal being the betterment
of the Southside community.
In order for our program to
succeed, we need your help. To
the residents of Southside the
Breakfast Program is a unique
idea. The majority of these
children really don't have a
