(Continued on P. 15) National Black News Service W'ASHINGTON - National black organizations and indi viduals as well as others concerned with social welfare are girding themselves for the Nixon Administration's 1973 thrust on welfare reform. Unable to take definitive positions on the sweeping welfare reform proposal sent to the White House by outgoing Secretary of Health. Education and Welfare Elliot Richardson, they nevertheless are wary of its contents. Labelled within HEW as the "Mega" Flan because of its broad scope the proposal now being studied b\ the While House is ‘-aid to be compatible with President Nixon’s New Federalism philosophy. Accordingly, it provide'^: for state- and individuals to have more discretionary power than they now have in developing and administering aid pro grams for the needy. The apparent intent of the plan is to outmaieuver special interest group and enable the stales to have broader spending and deci ion-making power. Oueof the "Mega" plans most pot* nlially repressing features woi Id be its tougher work reojirements and benefits for fev er people than even Nixon’s previous welfare plan called for 'ne National Welfare Rights Or{ anization is in the midst of internal reorganization after the departure of its first director, George Wiley who had not seen the "Mega” plan. However, new NWRO direc tor. Mrs. Johnnie Tillmon, strongly denounced any possi ble employment requirement for mothers of pre-school children. "I think its wrong for the administration to be taking political potshots at poor women with children who need to be at home providing them with the proper care so that the children won't have the same kind of problems that their mothers are having now." said Mr« Tillmon. "P'urthermore. I basically wonder why the administration concentrate*-' so heavily on work programs for women when there are so many men. even with degrees, who are looking for work and cannot find it." said the outspoken welfare rights leader "Until we see the plan I wouldn't want to say we are opposed to it." said Moskowitz. "Sometimes we have to read behind the language to see what is really being said." Dear Mrs Higgsbee: 1 have a problem that is l>eginning to worry me I have always had trouble with my periods When I first started. I used to skip several months at a lime 1 didn’t worry too much then because I was just starling 1 am a 19 year old virgin, and I am still skipping months as bt‘fore. The pains during my periods are severe. I went to one doctor for these pains and he gave me some pills to take for cramps He told me that they would lessen whenever I got married and had a child Shortly after this visit, my period slopped completely. About 3 months Ir.er I went io another doctor. He checked me and said he could find nothing wrong He even w ent as far as to give me a pregnaiuw test (I knew that was impo.ssible i He told me to wail a few more months and see what happens. Aboui two months later, after not having had a i)enod. 1 went to a third doctor. He couldn't find anything wrong either ancl advised me to wail longer and see what happens I waited, but to no avail I went back to him and he cbej-ked me again. This time be told me a gland in my Imdy w as not producing enough fluid or something to that effect. He gave me some pills to take I think they aie birth control pilia. rhe\ ^ jik .'.ne whenever I lake them for ;unonth If I don’t lake them, I skip a month in mv period i fee! just tine whenever I don l luve u period But I am worried bet a use it is not normal f«'r a ^;rl ot 19 not to have 'ey* S'- peri*.d;. 1 . p’ ■'.rang ic i; -t .i.drned Uu- iiiun u* pait ot next year Do N'lU ! ..nk ’his condition may hi-.i.; nr, of h.ivuig I- ' n.a .!• kid.- in the fii'ure \n\ h.';p j i g- •• w .1 he ^rea?;* apprecia! e.i Future Of Black Theatre In United States DRA.M.A DR.\U S BIG ( KtlU I> —New \ ork—W hile most New Yorkers u ere spending this bright Sunday with famil.N and friends, this group crowds behind police harriers to watch drama unfold between police and four gunmen held up in Brooklyn sporting goods store with nine hostages here January 21.

Additional Cutbacks In Housing Program Announced Dear E.M.: Many, many women have irregular periods. In fact, more women have irregular periods than regular ones. Each woman is different, so each woman's body works on a different type of schedule. Some women have periods every 28 days, some every 35 days, some have even longer spans belween periods. What is "normal " for one person is not necessarily "normal " for another. There is nothing "abnormal" about a 19 year old girl having irregular periods. Skipping periods does not harm your body in any way. Of course, not having a period for five months, is something that should be checked into. Since you have seen a number of doctors. I think you can be quite sure there is nothing seriously wrong with you. or they would have told you. Y’ou may be just irregular - like millions of other "normal" women in the world. Being irregular in having periods does not lessen your chances of having babies or endanger them in any way On the other hand, you may have a condition in which your ovaries do not release eggs, causing you Io skip your period for several months Birth controls pills may not be good treatment for this condition, since they may make it harder for your ovaries to release eggs when you want to get pregnant Why don't you see an endocrine specialist, or a fertility specialist, to find out if you have this condition iStein Leventhal S ndromel, and how you shoulo manage your family planning when you get married The condition is not dangerous or difficult to treat if it is spotted by an expert WASHINGTON - The cutback in the nation's housing pro grams has been broadened to include the rural program as well. The Administration has or dered a sharp reduction in new applications for low-income rural families. Tne project - administered by the Agriculture Department - is a Farmers Home Administra tion program. It permits poor rural families to purchase new homes with interest rates on their mortgages as low as 1 percent Officials of the Farmer" Home Administration, though making no formal announce ment of the action, confirmed that telegrams were sent out ordering an immediate halt on new applications for housing loans and some other programs A number of other programs were also affected by the order including projects providing rural rental and cooperative housing, grams Io small tom- munitie" for building sewer and water systems, and credit for farm labor housing Darrel A. Dunn, deputy administrator of the Farmers Administration said more than 30,000 single-family housing loans for low-income rural families between now and June 30 would be cancelled. Dunn said the cancellations were part of a moratorium on new subsidized rural and urban housing approvals. He pointed out that the actions were all part of a basic review of national hou.sing subsidy policy. Outgoing HUD Secretary George Romney has already announced that the department had placed a "temporary hold" on ail subsidized housing applications which have now been "feasi bly" approved. Under the Farmers Home Administration single-family home loans for both low and moderate income families were planned for a total of 117.000 loans, totalling clo'e to S2.07 billion in the fiscal year ending June 30. About 70,000 of these loans were due to go to low-income families, nio“t of them with incomes under S7,000 a year.

WASHINGTON - Black The ater is swiftly winging its way across the country and actor Robert Hooks contends. "This is not a passing phase. Black theater is here to stay," The 35-year-old veteran of Broadway and television star dom says. "Black theater to me represents black culture. It provides a needed outlet for black expression. What has been happening up to now. before the black theater move ment. is that another kind of culture has been forced on black people. It didn't have much to do with our culture as black people in America." A few weeks ago. Hooks showed off a "ample of the kind of "revolutionary " production that he considers relevant in black audiences. In 1970. Hook", returned to the city where he was born and announced plans to open a D C Repertory Company that would do for Washington blacks what he helped do for blacks in New York as co-founder of the New York Ensemble. Says, Hooks, "The reason I came to Washington was to cultivate a black theater going audience. Needless to say, black theater also provides an outlet for talents that have gone untapped. My greatest chal lenge is to bring black theater to black people." With the opening perform ance recently of "Coda, " a play written by Evan Walker, the D.C. Repertory Company open ed the way for a season of black professional theater that Hooks says will protray an array of black life-styles. "Coda" is the story of a black family's conflicts and frustra tions that are aggravated by differing attitudes held by three ? |enerations that make up the amily structure. The time is National Black News Service 19G9. in a Harlem tenement, and centers around a son returning from Vietnam. Unlike his father, he is bitter and militant, questioning and unaccepting. Not long after the premiere performance of "Coda," Hooks sat in the newly-carpeted lobby of the Last Colony Theater, located close to Howard Uni versity. and talked about the problems that black theater groups are having to face. High on the list of handicaps is "money. " He confides that in his own situation, most of the money comes from white backers. With thin hands flailing the air. Hooks leaned easily back in a chair, e.tclaiming that the Last Colony Theater was a place that was real - "a place you can see, something you can touch." Even so, groups like his are finding that blacks are reluc tant Io put their money into PARTICIPATES I N INAUGURATION - Staff Ser geant Douglas C McBroom, son jf Mrs. Lucy McBroom, Rt. 1, Durham.

LIFT PRE-TRIAL CONFINEMENT WASHINGTON - Facing courts-martial because of racial brawls which broke out on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk last October. 17 black sailors have asked Supreme Court Justice William 0. Douglas to release them from the brig so they can help prepare their defense. Douglas is not expected to act on the request - which has been turned down by the U.S. Court of Military .Appeals - until Navy- Secretary John Warner states his opinion. However, the lustice Department said Wednesday the high court lacks the authority to free the sailors because they had not submitted their appeal first through a lower court.
