WASHlN'CTttN Charging
that programming on television
and radio is inadequate for
minorities and the procedures
to alleviate the problem are not
vigourously enforced, a group
of blacks took their plea to the
Federal Communications Com
mission last week
The group of ab . 40 blacks
voiced their concern about the
enforcement of the commis
sion's equal employment rules
which were adopted* three years
ago as well.
Led by William Wright,
director of Black Efforts for
^Soul in Television, a Washing-
^ton*based organization, the
group told the FCC it had
completely failed to take action
against stations that had
violated the directive
‘‘On the basis of facts known
to this commission, it absolutely
defies credibility that virtually
none of 8.000 licensees were
guilty of employment discrim
ination against minorities."
Wright told the commission in
this first of its kind meeting
"And if any were, and we
know and you know how many
were, then they have been
permitted to break laws of the
land to perpetuate an evil, and
in our estimation, unpardonable
crime against us. "
