SOUTH AFRICAN ■ C ontinued from page 1) nools which are closed to blacks... . u- useless throwing money at people without the necessary training. I would like to see an increasing number of black South Africans come here, but more important... if we could get teachers from ORT establishing similar institutions in South Africa then the multiplying fac tor of having someone teaching in South Africa would be so much more important. Q Now that you have seen the dilation “on the ground” do you believe that the people in your com munity have an accurate picture of the realities here? A I think there is no question about it. There are misunderstandings, there are distortions. I have come here to see the situation on the ground as it were. I have been privileged to speak to Arab-Israeli citizens. I have been impressed by some of the things that have been happening here... [for example] the number of universities that have been established in the oc cupied territories since the war. I myself will change a lot of things I believed before I came here. I do believe that there are major dif ferences and that it is much too simplistic to equate the Israeli •.Pakf.tifti.-n problem “ ” " 1 white problem in South Africa. That is one of the things I’ve learned since coming to Israel. Q. What will be your most lasting impression of your visit? A. Besides Jerusalem—which is nothing like I expected—this is a beautiful city, but I didn’t come here as a tourist. Therefore the lasting thing in my mind will be what I’ve seen at Hadassah. I didn't know that Israel built CT scanners! This is a result of the kind of technology they teach in places such as ORT. If I can convince my government or private enterprises to undertake something like ORT my visit will have been wor thwhile. Q. What about the limited sanctions that Israel has placed on South Africa? Have they had any effect on black South African attitudes? A. We have heard various stories from time to time... so that people didn’t quite believe this initiative. If Israel in collaboration with some other countries in the world does carry out these initiatives then South Africa will be made to feel a real pariah. I’m not sure that cutting off diplomatic relations will have an ef fect. What you do is far more impor tant. Far too many countries have cut off relations with South Africa only to trade under the table. TAWANA BRAWLEY (Continued from page 1) trying to build a movement. They have dreams of winning this thing.” “The real story is the political agenda of Sharpton (and at torneys Alton], Maddox and [C. Vernon] Mason,” he said in an on-camera interview with WCBS TV. McKinnon, a former Georgia police officer and private in vestigator who last worked as director of security and com munications at St. Mary’s Hospital in Brooklyn, said he finally broke with Sharpton four weeks ago because “There are too many lies. And I’m not going to live with all those lies.” He said the decision to leave was made after a meeting in Maddox' Brooklyn office during which Sharpton said, “If we can win this Tawana thing, we’ll be the biggest niggers in New York.” McKinnon said Maddox laugh ed and said, "You know, you’re right.” Sharpton disputed McKinnon’s account, calling him a “pathological liar." “I’ve never had any doubts anywhere in this case,” Sharpton told the News. He also disputed McKinnon’s claim that he was an aide. He said he was “nothing more than a driver” and never attended strategy meetings. McKinnon also said Sharpton was surprised when Maddox stood up at a news conference In March and accused Dutchess _County Assistant Prosecutor Steven Pagones of being one of the men who. allegedly attacked Ms. Brawley. “No one knew that [Maddox] was going to get up and say Pagones’ name at a press con ference until he said it. Even Sharpton didn’t know Maddox was gonna do that,” he said. KIMBERLY WEST (Continued from page l) In the community, she has been just as active.

The two did not know how mucl they will receive. “I’m very happy, very elated,’ said Ms. Sherrod. "I have more con fidence in the justice system although I felt reasonably confident i would come out in our favor.” “It’s a victory of a sort,” sai< Bazemore, who retired in 1981. “ thought the victory really came whei the United States Supreme Court rul ed unanimously that we had won tin case. It told the world that we wen justified in initiating the suit and tha we were discriminated against.” But be added that the admissioi and the money are only partial com pensation. “If you were kicked in tb pants and it still hurts, you wouldn’ forget.” He said he is still a victim of th discriminatory practices because hi retirement pension is less than i w •)!d hi*. e been. 1 AWARD RECWIENT—Accepting Bethune-Oubois Fund award in Washington, D.

How to get the most from your bank & Simple Interest Loans By Robert Shepherd When you are lacing a major expense and need to borrow money, your best approach may be a simple interest loan. With a simple interest loan you not only give yourself time to pay, but also you pay interest only on the amount you actually owe for the time you actually owe it. Automobiles, education, vacations and home improve ments are often financed with this kind of a loan. Before visiting your financial institution, you should know exactly how much money you plan to borrow and how you plan to use it- 3b help set up your repayment schedule, your banker will need to know about all your current debts and regular expenses as well as your income. Most people have a good idea of what they can afford and how they want to handle it, and bankers try to accom modate them. Your banker will tailor the loan to your financial situation. If, for example, you are paid monthly, you may wish to repay the loan in monthly installments on the day after payday. Or maybe a quarterly payment fits your situation better. You may also wish to have the payment deducted directly from a checking or savings account. Or you may wish to pay by check and will want a coupon book to help you keep up with the schedule. With a simple interest loan, if you make your payments early, you reduce the interest charges and perhaps even the term of the loan. When you are borrowing money, be sure you understand the interest rate and how prepayments or delayed payments will affect your total cost. A simple interest loan is a good way to meet an unexpected need or take advantage of a special opportunity.
