by low-income people.
The $300,000 is the second
installment of a to l al $ 00,000
which OEO has set aside for
Black economic development
in Durham. The grant was
originally slated to be sent
to the Foundation for Communi
ty Development. However,
political and racial opposition
to FCD persuaded OEO to
switch the grant directly to
UDI,
Top officials at UDI and FCD
said the new arrangement will
not affect the Black economic
development plans of their or
ganizations. Nilas Thompson,
president of UDI, and Nathan
Garrett, executive director of
. FCD. issued a joint statement
saying they welcomed release
of the funds.
The statement said, “FCD
is pleased that the grant will
be made directly to UDI. Nath
an Garrett. . .suggested some
time ago that this arrangement
be made in order that the grant
money be put to work for the
poor of Durham.
“FCD is confident that the
United Durham board will base
its future activities on service
to the low-income community,
not on fear of losing the prant
money.”
FCD is the author' of thd
original p r opo sal which es
tablished' UDI. The FCD eco
nomic development staff has
been working with UDI on plans
for the modular house factory,
a discount supermarket for poor
people and other projects. FCD
presently is working on eco
nomic development of Black
communities in four target
areas: Rale gh-Durham-Chapel
Hill; Greensboro-High Point;
the city of Fayetteville; and
Wilson-Rocky Mount-Tarboro.
FCD corporations In these
target areas will be modeled
after UDI, which has a board of
directors of 16 poor and 6
non-poor persons; a one-man,
one vote stock plan; and a policy
of establishing ventures which
provide a product or service
that is useful to poor people.
UDI is one of several Black
economic development projects
that have had trouble in getting
money releaded from the fed
eral government. Community
corporations in Harlem, Bed
ford-Stuyvesant, Cleveland and
other cities have had their
grants delayed in Washington
for some time. Reliable sources
say the problem is that the
Nixon administration does not
want to release the resources
necessary to create strong,
profitable corporations owned
and operated by large groups
of black people.
The joint statement from UDI
and FCD referred to this situa
tion by noting, “We trust that
these corporations which are
working for the low-income
community in their cities will
be able to obtain the kind of
support which OEO has demon
strated for United Durham by
releasing the grant install
ment.”

For the same offense, the
I.DF argued, a poor man is
“deprived of the things that
make life worth living” while
the man with means is only
inconvenienced.
The attorneys maintained that
such inequity is compounded
by the fact that imposition of a
fine indicates jail is not neces
sary for the gravity of the of
fense or for the safety of the
community or the offender.
This is one of several I.DF
cases challenging discrimina

angry extremists, the national

While acknowledging that
blacks “my have to fight hard
er to make equality work,”
Owens insists that American
Negroes have made “tremend
ous progress.”
“What we need is self-con
trol. true assertiveness and
long - range planning,” he
writes.
Owens adds a footnote to his
tory by revealing that it was
his chief German opponent, Lutz
Long, who urged him to draw
the famous “short line” in his
third try to qualify for the
broad-jump competition during
the 1936 Olympics.
During the qualifying trials,
Long had broken the Olympic
record on his first try. “When
my turn came,” Owens writes,
“Hitler rose from his box and
walked out. Mad, hate-mad, I
fouled out on my first try. On
my second, I didn’t jump far
enough to qualify.”
With just one try left to
him. Owens says, panic set in.
He began to shake. Then Long,
who had been cha 1 1 in g with
friends, walked ovei and put
a ‘hand on his arm. “You are a
better jumper than this,” the
German said. “You must
qualify.
“Long steadied me, suggest
ed that 1 draw a line short of
the takeoff board and jump from
there - and the panic emptied
out of me like a cloudbrust.
On my third and last try, I
qualified by more than a foot.”
Owens went on- to win a gold
medal in the broad jump; he
also took three oilier gold
medals: In the 100-meter and
200-metei dashes, and in the
relay. „

Spaulding has already receiv

two replies came within a week
and read in part as follows:
Number 1. “I suspect that ev

Number 2, “If you have in
