Accepted
WASHINGTON, D. C.-
Robert White, President
of the National Alliance
ot Postal and Federal
Employees, announced
last Friday that, “the
White House responded
to the charge of this
Union being excluded
from the “White House
Labor Day Dinner” by
issuing him an invitation
from the ‘White House
* Labor Day Dinner’ by
issuing him an invitation
to the affair.”
White stated that “this gives
us renewed hope that the Ad
ministration can be responsive
to a diverse group of labor
representatives.
“It is our firm belief that
this kind of action to the sen
sitive needs in labor will help
promote good will in future
Labor-Management relations.
White further stated, “heand
Mrs. White will attend the af
fair.’'
In last week’s CAROLINIAN,
Mr. White was quoted as say
ing: “My union has again been
ignored by the Nixon Adminis
tration,’’ after he said he was
being snubl'ed by not having re
ceived an invitation to the af
fiar.

Persons who have watched old landmarks

to learn that even though the building, long

It should be remembered that
this association has been a vital
part of the NCTA, for a number

Certainly, this ignoring is not
due to the fact that the communi

it isn’t a worthy cause. Yet, for
some reason, the nickles,

have been few. The response

1970 ses ssion at the Durham Ho
tel and Motel just as* we went
to pres: > Wednesday. According
to info) mation received from
reliable sources it is believed
to have been the most successful
ever he Id.
Mrs. Maggie L. Strong,
Ayden, and W. E. Costner, Gas
tonia, told The CAROLINIAN
that the service afforded by the
Durham Hotel and Motel and the
attendai ice, had motivated the
body to think about coming back

when the time and place com

it will i -ecommend holding the
1971 seS sion in Raleigh. This is
said to t iave been prompted by an
lnvitatio in from the city officials
and the Raleigh Chamber of

operation in a converted ware
house on Durham’s E. Pettigrew

tated a larger physical facility.
According to Fuller, the Dur
ham operations will continue
primarily in the form of an
early learning center, a high
school forum and some special
adult seminars.
But, he explained, the main
operation will be here m
Greensboro.
Aside from inadequate fac
ilites, Fuller said that thg Black
community of Greensboro of
fered great potential support
because of its high degree of
political awareness and ability
to unify, mobilize and act.

statement, close to a dozen
