Mrs. Knox Chairwoman
Of Mental Health Work
WASHINGTON. D. C. -Mrs.
Dorolhv C. Knox of New York
City iasl Wednesday was
appointed chairwoman of the
Committee on Mental Health
Services for the Disadvantaged
of the National Association for
Mental Health.
In 1968, the organiztion s
Board of Directors adopted a
position on the role of the
Mental Health .Association in
relation to the disadvantaged,
and stated:
"It is glaringly apparent that
among the poor of our nation
serious illness, including severe
mental illr.v.ss. goes largely
unrecognized and untreated.
This is true at a time when most
of us enjoy the benefits of
enormous advances in the
prevention, diagnosis. and
treatment of health problems.
Mental illness is more prevalent
among the poor because for
them the usual pathways to
detection and treatment are
blocked by such things as
overcrowding, unemployment,
discrimination, hunger, and the
other consequences of being
poor."
The primary objective of Mrs.
Knox's comniillec will be to
identify methods to overcome
the gap that exists betwen the
need and the provision of
mental health services for the
poor, and to assure th..t
attention is given to those who
need help the most.
Mrs. Knox, NAMH Secretary,
is the first black woman to be
elected an officer on the
National level in the history of
the organization She has
served on the National Board of
the Mental Health Association
since 1969, and just completed a
term as Vice President of
Program.
She is currently Director of
Consultation and Education at
the Lincoln Community Mental
Health Center in New York
City. From 1960 to 1970. she was
administrator at the Bedford
Mental Hygiene Clinic, a
division of Brooklyn Psychia
tric Centers, Inc. She has been
consultant to the Bedford
Stuyvesant A’outh in Action
Family Counseling Unit since
1%7 and Chairwoman of the
Mental Health Committee of the
Central Brooklyn Coordinating
Council. Inc., since 1965. She is

that if the Postal Service
doesn't improve he may ask
Congress to consider whether
the governmeni should once

from irate postal patrons. "
Cranston said "It's obvious
that after more than two years,
our quasi guveriinient-private
Postal Service isn't working
The magnitude ol the problem
is rerealed in many of the
letters 1 receive "
"Therefore. I am releasing
examples from some of the
tvpical letters from California
conslituents so that Ihe public
can gain greater understanding
of the problems "
The examples follow:
A man in Sylmar with an
extended illness mailed sick-
leave forms to his employer so
that he could receive compen
sation while he was ill. The
forms were lost in the mail.
Against the advice of his doctor,
he got out of his sick-bed and
delivered a new set of forms
personally

charged additional interest on
their mortgage payment be
cause their check to Ihe bank
was received past the due date
even though they say they had
mailed it in plenty of time.
An author In Sonoma lost
valuable manuscripts in the
mail.
A lady in El Cerrito says she
is having trouble finding mail
boxes and the few that are still
scattered around town only
have one pick-up per day
A Modesto man with a son in
the Marine Corps stationed in
Europe says letters to his son
arrive in a reasonable length of
time. But the letters his son
sends to him take 5-7 weeks to
arrive.
A San Francisco realtor found
that mail delivery to his office
was so unreliable that he had to
rent a post office box
An Anaheim man left on an
18 day vacation .At Los .Angeles
International Airport. 25 miles
from his home, he mailed a card
to a neighbor asking that
something be checked at his
home It look the card 15 days to
travel the 25 miles
The mail of a Los Angeles
man is consistently being
delivered to the wrong address
He writes. "The Postal Service
is now at the point where it is no
longer a service but an
aggravation "
The director ol a laboratory in
Mill Valley writes that her
business is dependent entirely
on the mail service for delivery
of medical specimens But the
specimens are so often delayed
that the stability of her business
IS being threatened
.A woman in Mission Vallejo is

Judge Tells
Baltimore
To Integrate
National Black News Service
BALTIMOHK - The nation’s
10th largest public school
system in a Maryland suburb of
metropolitan Washington. D
C.. has been ordered to put a
desegregation plan into effect
bv Jan. 29.
’U. S. District Judge Frank A.
Kaufman ordered the Prince
George’s County School Board
to implement a plan affecting
188 of the county's 2J8 public
schools.
The plan will require the
busing of I2.ono additional
students. The counlv already
buses 48 percent of its pupils to
schools spread over a 486
square mile area The de
segregation plan wiW raise the
proportion bused to 56 percent.
A total of :J2.0(H) students will
be transferred to other schools.
Junior high school students and
senior high school students,
except for seniors scheduled to
graduate in June, will be
assigned on a countywide
basis
Elementarv school pupils will
be shifted within II geographi
cal areas designated as
■‘neighborhood- sectors," The
maximum amount of time any
student will spend on a bus will
be about 35 minutes and the
mean time will be 14 minutes
In ordering the midterm
implementation of the desegre
gation plan. Judge Kaufman
was highly critical of the County
School Board’s obstructionist
tactics since he ruled last July
that the county’s school system
failed to meet constitutional
requirements.
He said the board tailed to
the school system staff precise
direction in drawing up a
desegregation plan, forcing the
judge to work out a plan in
conferences with the staff
••That factual and legal
background and the facts
reviewed in earlier opinions of
this court coinpid the conclusion
that regardleNS ot the reason
why. the Prince George’s
('ounty School Baorfl has
disregarded the mandates of
the highest court of our land."
Judge Kaiilman said.
The record rellects that the
school board’s emphasis in
July, in August, and again in
December of 1972, has been to
seek and to justify delay; rather
than to find the most palatable
ways in which to change an
unconstitutional school system
which defendants have had over
18 years to cure”
The class action suit against
the county school board was
by the NAACP and the
American Civil Liberties Union
March 29, 1972.
The school board has indicat
ed that it will appeal Judge
Kaufman’s »rder at the current
term i»i Fourth I S. Circuit
Court of AppeaK iii Kichmond.
