In a radio broadcast later from Chicago, Farrakhan said, “One day soon v/e v/ill punish you, Coleman, v/ith death.” Farrakhan is not a leader of Muslims in the United States, Saleem said. “There is no such thing as a black Muslim leader, and there is no such thing as being a black Muslim. The media have given the label “black Muslims” becaus they associate all Muslims with being an Afro-American.” Saleem admitted that Farrakhan has some follov/ers. “A Muslim v/ould not act the way he is acting,” he said.

And that is blasphemy.” Farrakhan is making critical statements about the media and whites who he has called “devils” because he wants to be the leader of the Afro- American people in the United Staes, said Saleem. “The only v,'ay he can get attention is by doing v/hat he is doing. More attention is going to Farrakhan than Jesse Jackson.” Saleem said Farrakhan v.'as embarras sing himself. “He is an embarrassment of the religion of Al-Islam. I v/ould advise Farrakhan to read the Qu’ran, the Muslim holy book, and study the Sunnah, which sets the example of the prophet Muhammad to carry out the instructons of the Qu’ran. “The black community should rectify the inconsistencies in Farrakhan’s remarks. He is just confused,” Saleem said. COALITION (Continued from page 1) the company’s records on affirmative action after they receive them. The coalition has contacts inside CP&L, said Laugh- inghouse, “Several of the employees had contacted us about the discrimination in hiring and job promotion w'hich goes on there,” he said. “There is some racial harassment that occurs there also.” . Efforts to reach CP&L officials for comment were unsuccessful. Laughinghouse said, “The climate of fear has been broken at CP&L. Nobody is scared anymore. The black workers are standing up for their rights, because they know' the community is behind them.” Several white workers are ashamed of the racist atti tudes which are common at the company. Laughing- house said. The situation turned ugly last year v/hen a memo circulated in CP&L’s five facilities in the Northern Division, stating that the 1983-84 hunting season v,'as open on “spooks, coons, jigaboos and porch monkeys.” The memo created a frus trating and hostile climate for the black v/orkers, Laughinghouse said. “It created the basis for management to write up blacks for poor v/ork per formance, and deny promotions or transfers to blacks because of alleged bad attitudes.

Getting started is the hard part. The money is out there for blacks to get. Going through the process to get it is difficult also. CHAVIS (Continued from page 1) on his eastern tour of North Carolina. “The masses came out. Poor white farmers came out. We have a country where farmers are starving on the farms. “Some of those farmers see in Jesse Jackson their sur vival,” he said. Chavis also urged black churches to become more polit ical. “We must empower the pov/erless,” he said. “We must take over the political process. We need God-faring politicians. The Lord will help us. The Lord likes to win victories.” Politics sent Jesus to the cross, Chavis said. We must make everything in society sacred. A lack of sacredness in politics has caused world wars.” Chavis also attacked the Reagan administration, calling it unholy. “When I hear Ronald Reagan and company speculating about their ability to destroy Gods earth, I, don’t get too nervous,” he said. “We must remove those of tbe faith v/ho threaten God’s earth.” Chavis also assailed President Reagan’s support of school prayer. “Ronald Reagan got people arguing about scliool prayer v.hen they don’t even pray in the White liijuse.

We have a community, as v/ell as individual, interest in ensuring the public that our taxpaying money is not being used to discriminate against us.” Laughinghouse did not reveal hov,' many signatures the coalition had gathered )n the petitions. “We must not be so afraid of the company that we v/ill let them force us and other workers to do things v.'hich endanger our lives, v/ithout speaking out against them,” the coalition said in a nev/.s- letter recently. “This kind of fear makes the company stronger and encourages them to do more v/rong.” JACKSON (Continued from page 1) stated. May 6, which has also been designated Jesse Jackson Day in many of Wake County's churches, will also include a campaign fundraising event and a press conference by Rev. Jackson. Bruce Lightner, Jackson campaign coordinator for the Fourth Congressional District, which includes Randolph, Orange, Wake, Franklin and Chatham counties, expects the rally to be one of the most sig nificant events to have taken place in Raleigh and the surrounding area in recent years. Other coming events in the local Jackson campaign include a reception fea turing Washington, D.C., Congressmasn Walter Fauntroy at Gillie’s Res taurant on Thursday, April 26, 4:30 p.m. (see story, page 13); the appearance of Rev.

Hannon said he would fund the salaries by taxing wine; beer and other commodities. Lt. Gov.

D.M. “Lauch” Faircloth, former secretary of commerce, said he favors in-school suspen sion to handle troublemak ers in school. Gilmore proposed the cre ation of a separate budget for education. “We are treating the symptoms in stead of the causes of the educational crises. We need need to put more money in education.” Only Hannon and Gilmore favored ending the second primary, “It’s time to abolish the second primary because it’s a violation of the Voting Rights Act,” Gilmore said. Faircloth and Edmisten favored modifications of the second primary. “If you arp going to do away With ^ second primary, yo(i are going to thwart the will of the’ majority,” Green said. Hannon said he was op posed to any law that prevents blacks from winn ing public office. The candidates said they would support more funding, to North Carolina’s black colleges and universities. “You ought to be out there yourself beating the bush es,” Hannon said. “You should be getting more money from foundations, individuals and corpora tions.” Only Green opposed pass age of the Equal Rights Ameri'iment, saying that all groups of people are protect ed under the Constitution. The candidates oppose any construction of landfills to store hazardous wastes. They favored some sort of recycling facilities and new law to deal with the wastes. “We don’t need any more landfills in North Carolina,” Insurance Commissioner John Ingram said. Gilmore and Hannon were the only candidates support ing the abolition of the death penalty. “It’s a lottery we have to determine what poor people will be executed,” Gilmore said. BOYCOTT (Continued from page 1) initiated no national boycott against the company. All the NAACP Fair Share agreements were reached in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and with a proper appreciation for the true meaning of national economic development.

League Rejects Meeting Offer With Muslim Leader Farrakhan NEW YORK, N.Y. - Na than Perlmutter, national director of the Anti- Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, has rejected an offer by Black Muslim leader' Louis Farrakhan that they hold a meeting because his continued threats and public utterances “have created an atmosphere far more conducive to fear and divisiveness than to rational discourse.” In a letter to Farrakhan, the ADL leader said his initial reaction to a meeting had been “affirmative becuse I too felt that conver sation among reasonable people, no matter their differences, is construc tive.” Farrakhan made his request for a meeting two v/eeks ago while Perlmutter W'as out of the country. Perlmutter went on to say, however, that upon returning tot he city and reading Farrakhan’s new threats directed against the Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman and his wife, he had been convinced that there was “no value” in it. Perlmutter was referring to Farrakhan’s “we-will- will-punish-you-with-death threat against Coleman for revealing the anti-Semitic “Hymietown” remarks made by Jesse Jackson. Earlier, Farrakhan had used threatening language against Jews in connection, with the Hymietown remark. It was following Perlmutter’s criticism of those threats that Farrakhan sought a meeting. Perlmutter termed the recently reported Farra khan praise of Adolf Hit ler as an “incredible and deplorable ignorance of history.” Army Pvt, Graduates With Duties As A Tank Crewman Sing unto the Lord, 0 ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
