THURMOND (Continued from page 1) minority voting rights. Although the act was aimed initially only to rebut discrim ination against blacks, it has been expanded to protect all minorities and affects more areas of the country. Today, it covers the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and 'Virginia plus 82 local jurisdictions. Thurmond said it would please him if he could simply repeal the Voting Rights Act. He said he was concerned about federal control over local affairs. “Why should the Justice De partment have to clear every bill that a city council or a county commission or the legislature of a state enacts?” Thurmond asked. “If anybody is dissatisfied, or if they think it’s unfair or unconstitutional, why, let them appeal it—go to court about it. I think the states ought to pass their own laws.” Thurmond also said if the current anti-busing measure before Congress fails to win ultimate approval, he will try again in the next session of Congress.

VIGIL I Continued trom page 1) “People must realize that we (students) don’t have brains of straw and we’re not children.” The idea for the Raleigh vigil grew out of a meeting the day before the protest. Over a half- dozen Raleigh policemen were gathered at the courthouse Friday to greet the protesters. At 1 p.m., one young man lifted his arms as a signal to the group and they all stood quietly and walked back to the Shaw campus. At a brief rally at Shaw after the protest, a speaker said that the police were prepared to move on the demonstrators and that the group was told to leave the mall area. “I’m proud of all of you,” the speaker said. “But while we were on the mall, the police had already been alerted ahead of time. They were ready to confront us.” The Greensboro Klan-Nazi trial sparked demonstrations in Greensboro and in Durham last week. A Durham protest march last Thursday came after a political forum held on the campus of North Carolina Central University where Julian Bond spoke. As a result of waves of protest from blacks and whites across the nation, the U. S. Justice Department is currently studying the trial to determine whether any of the slain Communist Workers’ rights were violated. A political forum was held Mon^y at Shaw to discuss the implications of recent national and local events. REAGAN (Continued from page 1) Since the early 1930s, when government first became involved in housing and the poor, blacks have looked into federal agencies for needed help in acquiring decent and affordable shelter, and protection from racial dis crimination. Contrary to some schools of thought, there are indications in Washington that Reagan will continue, in some form, housing assistance to the poor and funds for upgrading inner city neighborhoods. A b'/’ change is likely, however, the way federal programs will lie admiristered and how funds are distributed. Every legislative action can be expected to transfer most of the control over subsidized programs to state and local governments, with funds to run them mostly as they see fit. The federal roll will be substan tially reduced! Reagan officials will lose no time in reorganizing HUD and in coordinating the operations of other agencies that influence housing. Existing housing will be used in place of new con struction to house the poor, and cities will be expected to rely more on private industry for neighborhood revitalization. The government’s largest housing subsidy program. Section 8, may soon be phased out in favor of a new system of “housing block grants” or “special revenue sharing.” Under industry pressure, the Congress is likely to introduce a new rental subsidy program for middle-income persons. Similar legislation nearly squeaked through this year despite strong objections from low-income housing advocates. In October, Reagan announced that he would seek funds and staff for an inde pendent, bipartisan commis sion on housing which would study the nation’s housing needs and recommend new ways to revitalize the inner cities. Another new program, called “Enterprise and Job BOYCOTT (Continued from page 1) to ask for our support.” He says that beginning in June, 1981, there will be no black principals in Warren County above sixth grade level. SUGAR RAY (Continued from page 1) rounds and begin to taunt Duran in later rounds, Duran shocked his opponent and fight fans when two minutes and 44 seconds into the eighth round, he suddenly threw up his hands and told the referee he w as finished. The series of event became even more stunning when Duran, with a 72-1 record before the fight, announced that he was retiring from boxing. The Louisiana State .Athletic t'ommission undertook immediately an investigation of the fight and instructed that Duran’s $8 million he withheld pending the results. The fight was a $7 million payday for Leonard. “He stopped and I noticed he wasn’t throwing any punches and he was walking away,” said Leonard. “Then 1 knew that I was the champion again.” Duran explained his quitting after the fight this way; “At the end of the fifth round, I began to get cramps in my stomach and my arms were getting weak... I just, couldn't do anything, 1 felt paralyzed... It could happen to anybody... I could not put prc,ssurc on him.” i Zones” (patterned after the English experience), would allow local governments to designate specific depressed areas in their cities for special financing and tax incentive's to encourage new business and jobs. On housing discrimination, the Republicans are publicly committed to “vigorous enforcement of laws to assure equal treatment in access to housing and mortgages.” After a meeting in October with former Senator Ed Brooke, Reagan announced his support for strong fair housing measures and promised his personal involvement in its enforcement. Black organiza tions will, nevertheless, need to increase their surveillance of agency actions and legislative amendments to protect previous gains in equal opportunity, affirmative action and minority business programs. The new administration has also promised to initiate new actions that will: •Expand the urban home steading program to restore abandoned housing... give priority to the conservation and rehabilitation of older housing... make new tax incentives and financing available to construct more rental housing... and provide new forms of mortgage instruments to help young families buy homes and older homeowners remain in theirs. Lest we forget, and despite their faults, it was a Republican administration that gave us the Section 8 Housing Assistance Programs (now the only game in town for low- income people). Community Development Block Grants, Urban Homesteading, and Neighborhood Housing Services programs. And it was the Republicans, under former HUD Secretary George Romney, that set new production records for low- income rental and ownership housing (Section 235 and 236)—a record that still stands. It is reasonable to assume (if we can expect reason to prevail) that unless Reagan abandons the programs of his own party, the outlook for assisted housing in the years ahead may not be as bad as some are predicting. In the final analysis, however, and it should go without saying, blacks will have to display a new sense of togetherness to CDunter the strong influence o' hard-line conservatives who feel the government is already doing too much for black people. As begins to ■^iioiZ"' 7 isnii"ton to local elected officials, bJaeks must prepare to assunr.e a more active role in their own communities, if they intend to have a voice in deciding how the expected flow of federal housing and community development funds will be spent. Other presidents have neen known to change once they are in the White House. Let’s hope that Ronald Reagan will be one of those exceptions. NEW PARTY (Continued from page 1) The ones who have been overlooked. She said the group included a former sanitation worker from Tarboro and a welfare mother from Winston-Salem who has sent four children through college and many other more “people who aren’t ■>' represented by the nation’s mainline organizations” were there, she said. The founding of the party grew out of a suggestion made by Ben Chavis at a meeting of the National Black Political Assembly last summer in New Orleans, Miss Bryant said. She said Chavis suggested that the party be convened within 1(X) days. ')'ther North Carolinians present at the convention included black alderman Larry Little of Winston-Salem, Oxford city councilman James McCoy, Raleigh attorney Irv Joyner and North Carolina Central University professor Dr. Elsie Scott. The party adopted a preliminary charter and an operating structure until the national meeting is held next August. A statewide meeting has been scheduled in Winston- Salem Jan. 17. Not all questions were resolved at the convention but state delegations committed themselves to honoring the conditions of the charter until the 1981 meeting. Miss Bryant said. S. AFRICA (Continued from page 1 > experienced in providing shells for nuclear weapons. Purpose of developing the weapon was to ensure South Africa with superiority in the 1975 war with Angola, but more importantly to provide Couth Africa with military superior ity over all of her newly inde pendent neighbors. With this superiority established. South Africa, with secret encouragement from Britain and the U. S., would begin a long-term campaign to destabilize the governments of independent Africa and to make Namibia’s fight for freedom extraordinarily difficult. The recent failure of the United Nations-South African talks regarding independence for Namibia illustrates the position of strength attitude of the apartheid regime of South Africa. But here South Africa may be checked by the imposition of sanctions against her thanks to Nigerian demands that the West act against South Africa or face the possibility of losing vitally needed Nigerian oil, now doubly precious because of the war in the Persian Gulf region. But in all truth and candor, it must be admitted that sanctions are of certain value as long as powerful and secret friends are permitted to violate them at will. This is amply born out in the case of Zimbabwe, where sanctions against the Ian Smith regime were routinely flouted by the very powers who imposed them in the first place. Zimbabwe won its freedom almost entirely due to the efforts of her guerrilla armies. In recent months. South Africa has intensified its inter ference with Mozambique. The military Revolutionary Tribunal of Mozambique sentenced three men to death for spying from a base in South Africa and for supporting the so-called Mozambican National Resistance, a South African- financed group. Now Zambia has imposed a dawn to dusk curfew in her major towns as the army inten sifies its search for an armed gang trying to overthrow President Kaunda. President Kaunda is reported to have told diplomats in Lusaka that the gang was formed in South Africa. Zambians have lived in constant fear since 1965 when former Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith, helped by his South African friends, took the first fatal steps to war against the supporters of Nkomo and Mugabe. Since that time, a state of emergency has always existed in Zambia. The state of emergency has never been lifted. Recently, independent Zimbabwe has imposed curbs on certain foreign journalists for reporting only the bad without balancing it with reports about the good. Chief culprits of this practice, according to Information Minister Dr. Nathan Shamu- yarira, were the South African press and some American journalism. The spreading South African power base consists of growing military power, economically based oh gold and diamond exports, which fuels the nation’s military-industrial complex, and the belief and understanding that nations like the United States, Britain and 'West Germany do not wish to curb South Africa’s police role on the continent.
