Cop Claims They Had Drugs
CHARLESTON. S. C. •
Sparked by a deep interest in
bettering race relations be
tween blacks and whites, a
white woman has quit her
predominantly white Congre
gational church and joined the
predominately black African
Methodist Episcopal (AME)
church here.
Mrs Barbara Risley King
ston said that she was
"dissatisfied" with her
church's approach to race and
sought something more rele
vant.
‘‘I don’t like black |>eople
y^.in^ better than white," she
':iaid. adding that in her
church she never came into
contact with black people.
"This just seems to be where
the broken relationship is,"
she added
Mrs. Kingston, who has
already been licensed by the
AMF. group to preach in their
churcher. said she would like
to become an ordained minis
ter in the AME church.
'I hop<‘ (hat I then gel a
church of m> own somewhere
in the Charleston area," she
said
Although the AME church
has some white ministers and
a number of black women
ministers, Mrs. Kingston
"would probably be the first
white woman to be ordained,”
according to an AME spokes
man.
The process requires four
years • two as a deacon, and
two as an elder.
But with a Master of
Divinity degree from the
Lutheran Seminary at Colum-
S.C. (she’s the first
woman to earn a degree from
the seminary), Mrs. Kir>gston
is hoping that the process is
shortened.
"...I hope that my gradua
tion from the seminary will
speed that up,” she said. ”1

BY PAGE TOWNSEND
National Black News Service
WASHINGTON • President
Nixon's refusal to spend
federal housing subsidy fun^
has been upheld by the U.S.
Court of Appeals
The court said the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Deve*
lopment was within his rights
in cutting off the housing
subsidies because the pro
grams were not achieving the
objectives Congress had in
mind when it created them.
The decision was in contrast
to many other court decisions
which field that the Nixon
Administration did not have
the authority to impound
funds appropriated by Con
gress for a variety of
programs.
•‘The real question here.”
said Judge Carl McGowan for
the .Appeals Court, "is whe
ther the Secretary had the
discretion, or indeed the
obligation, to suspend the
S rograms' operation when he
as adequate reasons to
believe that they are not
serving Congress's purposes
ot aiding specified groups in
specific ways. We think he has
this limited discretion.”
The court said the wisdom
of HUD Secretary James T.
Lynn's decision might be open
to question, but there was no
reason to think that "Congress
forbade the Secretary to
withhold commitments of so
vast a magnitude when he has
good reason to believe that
exercising his authority would
be contrary to the purposes
for which Congress authorized
him to act.”
