onstration laboratory for train
ing and child development. The
center will be located on Glen
wood Avenue in the Summerhill
community and is expected to be
ready by early Spring.
Stewart referred to the Atlan
ta job as an indication of UDl’s
flexibility in its efforts to ser
vice the needs ofthe community.
The homes produced by UDI
consist of approximately 1,000
sq. ft. of heating space, carport,
deck, electric heating, paneling,
wall-to-wall carpeting, exposed
beams, range and refrigerator.
With all of these luxury features,
the house can still be purchased
for a price that low-income peo
ple can pay. In fact, said Ste
wart, as a part of UDl’s concept,
all services provided by I’D I
are geared to meet the needs of
the low-income. Tech Homes
plant, under the supervision of
recently hired Wendell Wil
liams, is located on Clay Street.
The Modular Plant represents
one of two UDI ventures that are
serving the community - the
other is the Supermarket loca
ted on Manguin Street. It opened
on June 7, 1971 and plans are
being made for a second market
which could be located in the
Hayti section of Durham con
sisting; of 20,000 sq. ft. andem
.ploying 29-30 persons.
UDI. which is one of 37 special
Impact Programs across the
country has already purchased
2G acres of property where it
plans to construct a larger mo
dular plant facility and several
related factories over the next
2 1/2 years. An estimated 250-
300 persons should lx> employed
in those operations over the next
three years, according to
Stewart.
The new plant should allow
production of five-seven mo
dular homes per week as a mo
dest estimate.
The Corporation is supervised
by a board of 24 directors, two
thirds of which represent the
low-income communities. Mon
thly meetings are held, under the
chairmanship of Oliver Harvey,
to evaluate the progress of UDI.

states in Black registration.
The director of the Durham
based organization said that the
latest statistics indicate that
the state is still at the bottom
in Black registration. Only 46
per cent of the eligible Blacks
are registered according to the
most current data,
Edwards stated that, the 1970
U. S. Census shows that there
are 675.205 Blacks eligible to
register, but as of December
31, 1971, only 309,794 Blacks
were registered. (These fig
ures include the small number
of Indian and other persons of
color who live in the state.)
V.hile only 46 per cent ofthe
eligible Blacks are register
ed, 62 per cent of the eligi
ble Whites are registered.
Edwards said that the low
Black registration indicates that
not only have the 18-to-20 year
old Blacks failed to register
in significant numbers, but also
that many other Blick people
have still not registered.
Experience in North Carolina
and other states Indicates that
there is much greater interest
and activity in voter registra
tion in the Black community
when Blacks candidates are run
ning for office.
The North Carolina Voter Edu
cation Project’s director stated
that now that the anti-single shot
law and the numbered-seat law
have been declared unconstitu
tional, Black candidates have a
much better chance of being e«
leCted to the boards of county
commissioners, local school
boards, the General Assembly,
and several other offices, Ed
wards said"ln light of this re
cent court decision, I hope
Blacks will reappraise the use
of the vote in our struggle,
and more Blacks will run for
office. If Blacks are planning
to become a candidate, they
should, not forget that to run
In the May primary, they must
file by 12 noon, February 21,

GEORGIA IS

as New York Is a city at the
past.”
During the Depression, Fis
cher recalled, Georgia was
nominated by a reactionary po
litical machine headed by boss
Gene Talmade, "a profane, gal
lus-popping redneck, whose a
vowed alms as governor were to
keep the blacks in their place
and the New Dealers out of his
state,
"Behind him stood the plan
tation owners, the Klan, such Big
Business as the state had, and
the more bigoted arid Ignorant
of the poor whites. Aside from
naked violence, their chief wea
pons were the poll tax and a uni
que gimmick known as the coun
ty unit system. These two de
vices in effect disenfranchised
not only the poor and the black
but also the residents of Atlan
ta, some of whom were suspec
ted of moderate thoughts,” Fis
cher recalled.
Over the past 30 years, though,
Fischer has been receiving
communications from friends
who said "the times the; were
a-changin’, ” He explained,’The
poll tax and county unit system
were gone. The old power struc
ture had broken up. Thanks to
the Supreme Court’s one-man
vote ruling, democracy was
creeping in. So were business
men ot anev; breed, who couldn’t
see any profit in keeping poor
people poor.
"Atlanta,” he went on to say,
‘‘was becoming a boom town,
the de facto capital of the entire
Southeast. It had acquired a
black majority, a black head of
the school system, five black
aldermen, and several black
millionaires. Its black Vice-
Mayor, Maynard Jackson, re
putedly had an excellent chance
of taking over City Hall in a few
years.”
Moreover, Fischer said, "I
began to get signals that the
state not only was catching up
with the rest of the nation but in
some ways was actually pushing
into the lead. It had, for ex
ample, come up with some poli
tical and social Ideas of marked
originality. Moreover, they had
worked so well that they were
rapidly spreading into other

ing near it for a while and
hollered ‘come on, come on,
man,’ to someone," stated Mr.
Thompson. "Nobody else came
in and I told the man, ‘‘Sir, if
you would like to worship with
us, you may have a seat!"
Thompson said the mar, (later
Identified as Charles Jones, 24,
218 Heck Street), replied,
"Well, I don’t know how to wor
ship your God and I don’t want
to sit down. I’ve got five more
jitterbugs out there, who want
to come in and worship the God
with you.” He said the man then
reached into a back pocket and
pulled out what seemed to be
a dagger or a very long pocket
knife, finished his talking and
went out the door.
Eider Thompson said his
daughter went into his office
to call tne ponce, who at nrst,
came to the old Maple Temple
Church, corner of E, Martin
and Camden Streets, then later
were informed that the church in
question was a block away.
During the time that the el
der’s daughter was calling the
police (two times), the other
man, James Robert Sanders,
24, 916 Oakwood Avenue, is said
to have kicked the church door
in and shoved a lady usher.
He is alleged to have asked the
minister, "What kind of church
is this, no how?”
The two had allegedly dis
appeared around the corner on
Spence Street when they were
finally caught by the officers
and identified by Elder Thomp
son. Both men were charged
with interruption of church
services.

and members of his congrega

tion printed in our edition of
February 5, 1972, but we were
only going by the general of
fense report sheet, furnished

Mr, Othow suggested that si

a lack of powerful and unified
