While a regional voting difference remained in 1971-72. Dr. Merle Black says, it was only half as great as the difference in 1963-64. He says the voting behavior of representatives from the north and south are becoming more similar on civil rights practices, but (hat the change IS due primarily to the changing nature of civil rights controversies. Black analyzed the votes in the U S. House of Representa tives on civil rights matters from 1963 to 197? to reach his conclusions He presented his findings in a paper last week to the Southern Political Appreciation Check Won By Eric L, May Billy's Bargains of 222 E Marlin St., was spotlighted in last week's edition of The ('AROIJNIAN.

The issues of the early 196os, Black notes, concerned segregation in the public arena - public accomo dations. voting rights and equal protection of the law • freedom of choice as the standard of enforcement and the south as the main target. Given such legislation, south ern congressmen voted over whelmingly against racial change. Black says, while northern members strongly supported civil rights. By 1971-72, however, the House of Representatives faced a substantively different set of civil rights questions. Controversies now were likely to involve the entire nation, affirmative action as the remedy and matters of oppor tunity restriction and economic subordination • discrimination in jobs, housing and education. According to Black, while southern congressmen contin ued to take the relatively more conservative position on these issues, northern members showed little enthusiasm for the more liberal policy alternatives. Differences be tween the congressmen from the two regions were consider ably lower in 1971-72 than had been the case a decade ago. In addition to declining regional differences. Black found that the average Demo crat is now more likely to support civil rights legislation than the average Republican He asserts that historically, the Republican party has had a greater tendency to support the liberal position on civil rights than the Democratic party. He notes that the change has been due in part to the changing image of the Demo cratic party as more respon sive to the needs of blacks, coupled with efforts by Republican leaders to appeal to disaffected southern whites through a "Southern Strate gy." Also of importance is the changing regional composition of the parties in Congress. Southern influence is declining among House Democrats, but increasing among House Re publicans.

P. 2) Finances Of Body- Problem NEW YORK - The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is in deep financial trouble. And according to published reports, the nation's oldest civil rights organization is "barely" meeting its pay* roll. A New York Times article quoted an NAACP staff member as saying: "It's hand-to-mouth, touch and go.” Presently, the organization, the largest of its kind in the country, has a deficit of nearly $250,000, and officials have said that the situation is "reaching a point where it could impeni critical programs that are the life-blood of the organization." But. despite the reportedly grave situation, Roy Wilkins, the 74-year-old executive di rector seems not too worried. "We're just a little behind in our bills, that’s all," he is quoted by the Times. "We have just fallen slightly behind, as has everybody. There isn’t any more concern than there is over New York’s fiscal condi tion. "Money is tight. Our mem bers are out of work and our income is not what we would have it to be. But this is no different from other corpora tion's experiences in these times," Wilkins said. The well-known civil rights leader added, however, that the organization was "pro ceeding under a forced draft." to conduct a campaign to raise at least $150,000 "from the general public, from the branches, from anywhere we can get it." Refusing to speculate on what would happen if the campaign fails, Wilkins said: "I wouldn’t speculate. Look how long New York City has been speculating. We'll be around this time next year." (See NAACP FACES. P. 2) Charges Are Dismissed Against 3 National Black News Service BUFFALO. N Y. - Murder charges against three leaders of the 1971 Attica prison rebellion have been dlamissed by a State Supreme Court justice here. The three men • Herbert X. Blyden, Frank Smith and Roger Chapman - had been accused of kidnaping two fellow inmates who were later killed. But Justice Carman F. Ball found that there had been no kidnaping and therefore, the three men could not be prosecuted fqr "felony mur der." Under the felony murder law, a person is guilty of murder if it can be proved that the victim was killed while another felony, such as kidnaping, was being commit ted. With Justice Ball's actions, 18 indictments against 17 Attica defendants have been dismissed for insufficiency of evidence, lack of prosecution and other legal reasons. Eight other defendants have entered guilt pleas. Of the five cases that went to trial and reached a verdict last fall and spring, all but one resulted in acquittals. Presently, 13 indictments remain against inmates. Chap- (See CHARGES ARE, P. 2) KIDNAP. SHOO'nNG VICTIM RESCUED— Decalv.
