WASHINGTON - Employees
of the Justice Department’s
Community Relations Service
are not getting the jobs thev
were promised when a cutback
of the agency's staff and
funding was announced early
this year.
Former Attorney General
Richard Kleindienst told the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee last January that staff
members of the agency would
not lose their jobs and would be
placed someplace within the
Justice Department or in other
federal agencies.
But staff members presented
CRS director Ben Holman with
a petition asking Justice to
place a freeze on outside hiring
until all of the agency's
dismissed workers are placed
with other divisions within the
department. ” the petition said.
"We do not seek a
confrontation with the depart
ment on this issue, but rather
feel (hat it is within our right to
question why we have not
received any real help or
assistance from the depart
ment.
"Time is running out. Many
staff have already been let go
and are now’ pounding the
pavement' looking for jobs."
Director Holman reported
that there has been a general
scramble for jobs among the
staff members, even among
those not dropped. He insisted,
however, that this has not
affected their performance.
Conceding that there was a
general expectation that the
department would place fired
staff members. Holman said he
had even established a com
mittee within the agency to
start an effort of job
placement, "but we don't have
a permanent job placing
capacity and don't have funds
♦o do so. "
"As a matter of fact, they
thought it was standard
procedure that they would get
some help." he said in reacting
to the employee’s petition.

of Columbia, converged on
Greensboro, May 17, 18 and 19,
for the frist annual 2nd Region
celebration ever held.
The meeting of the members
of the highest Order in Free
Masonry was an innovation. It
was instituted by Edghill as
one of his major projects to
generate more interest in his
program to promulgate the
tenets of the order.
Registration began on the
17th and continued thru the
19th. A spot check revealed
that more than 5,0(X) were on
land Friday night when the
meet reached its peak. The
opening session was held in the
Harrison Auditorium, A&T
University. 9-10 a.m. The first
public session was also held
there The feature of the public
meeting was music. It was
hailed as one of the greatest
display of musical talent ever
presented by a fraternal order.
In order to implement the
secret work and bring about
better coordination, workshops
were conducted by both me
Shriners and Daughters. Fri
day afternoon. The Regional
Conference was held following
the workships.
The Talent and Scholarship
Pageant was wonderful to
behold. The display of art and
beauty delighted an apprecia
tive audience. The revelers
climaxed an exciting day with
a regional ball that had 5,000
participants. Tickets were sold
out early Friday.
Saturday activities began as
early as 8 a m. Early risers
saw the most fascinating drill
competition that made it rough
(See NC SHRINERS. P. 2)
Administration officials,
however, have continued to
deny that the agency is being
dismantled. Instead, they say
the cutback is being made
because of eased racial
tensions in the country.
The petition specifically said
that the department had failed
to help fired employees find
jobs including clerks and
attorneys, whose salaries
ranged from $7,600 to $30,000 a
vear.
"While we are aware that the
Department of Justice is a
place for lawyers, we are also
keenly aware of the fact that
those lawyers among us who
are being displaced have not
been offered equivalent jobs

Attorney McKissick, former
director of the Congress of
Racial Equality (CORE), and
longtime advocate of justice
and equality for the poor and
the under-privileged, pro
claims that Soul City’s purpose
is to provide neither a
commune for the poor, nor a
scene for devotees of black
power.
It is rather to create a viable
community for black and white
alike who have been victimized
by the failing agricultural
economy of the surrounding
area, an attempt to provide
them with an alternative to the
usually futile drift to the big
cities of the north and south.
The service is to begin at 11
a.m. and the doors are open to
everyone.
