^Bus Shelters, Dispatch
Facility Planned At Mall
Though (he knowledge would
not have meant much to
Raleigh bus riders last week,
they will eventually be able to
wait Cor their busses during
inclement weather without
wondering if the City. oi
Raleigh thinks they are ducks.
The city is planning to
obstruct shelters and a dis
patch .ucility on (he Downtown
Mall at the present central
transfer point on Martin Street.
City Transit Planner Bob
Olason said the shelter will
extend to the several boarding
points immediately on both
sides of the mall.
When all this will take place,
however, remains to be seen.
The city has reauested state
and federal funding to help
complete the project and is
waiting upon re^nse from
^these sources. The state’s
response is tied to Sen. John
Winters' Senate Bill 656.
Winters said the bill is in the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. It includes $375,000 for
completion of the mall, with
the city dividing (he funding
among the various promts on
its drawing boards, such as the
bus riders^ shelters Appropri

matters decided in this session
of ^e General Assembly,
Winters said.
Hie almost 6,000 daily bus
riders will get more immediate
protection from the elements
al points other than the central
transfer point, however. Ola
son said the Capital Area
Transit system has received 16
shelters which have been
designated for key boarding
and unloading points through
out the city.
Many of the new shelters will
be in the income areas
where there is a ‘'high
propensity” for riding the bus.
Olason said.
Olaaon said the new shelters
cost about 118.000. The re
mainder of the almost 700
stops will eventu 'ly have
benches, though the bids have
not been let. Olason said they
have been designed ana bid
ding should b^in in about a
month. He also said be expects
the 16 shelters to be In place in
about a month.
With 6,000 riders per day,
Olason said the maas transit
system is doing better than it
has in 15 years. ”It't getting
better,” he said, noting that

Barber

Of Suit
CONCORD — A 33 year-old
black assistant professor at
Barber-Scotia College here,
has accused a white barber of
discrimination because they
refused to cut his hair last
week.
However, Donald H. Whitley,
the white owner of the barber
shop, says that the barbers who
work for him do not know how
to cut a black .person's hair.
David Panvaka. a native of
Kenya, has filed suit under the
Civil Rights Act of 1968 against
Whitley and Whitley’s Barber
Shop, alleging he was denied a
hair cut I^ause of his race.
According to Panyaka, be

decided to go next door and
make an appointment for a
hair cut.
“There were two barbers in
the shop,” Panyaka declared.
“One of them said, ‘We cut hair
for the white race only.’ ” According to a report re-

National Black News Service
NEW YORK. N. Y -
Businessmen in high-crime
areas were urged recently by
the Black-Jewish Information

Federal Crime Insurance Pro

K rotection against property

and burglary.
“Over the years, we’ve
witnessed many communities
deteriorate because their busi

crime insurance," said James
Rose, an official at Federal
Crime Insurance. “The pro

Raleigh on charges of fraudu
lent billing procedures. The
FCC has one black member,
Benjamin F. Hooks.
If the FCC revokes the
license, the black-oriented ra-
dion station would be forced off
the air.
Last year, the radio station
was ordered to pay a $10,000
fine by FCC administrative law
judge Ernest Nash, after he
ruled that it falsely billed
advertisers in violation of
commission rules. The FCC
Broadcast Bureau, however,
contended that the fine was not
a strong enough penalty and
asked the full commission to
revoke the license of WLLE.
Arguments in the case were
heard by the commission last
Thursday, at which time a
representative of the station’s
ownership is alleged to have
admitted. "We were wrong,"
but said the problems have
been cleared up.
John T. Kelly, a Broadcast
Burbau legal counsel, said
WLLE billed 120 advertisers
for $60,000 worth of commer
cials that were never broad
cast on the station and also
engaged in double-billing of the
Gtuf Oil Company. He said
these practices occurred dur
