(Continued from page 1)
' scaped botanical garden. A Memorial
Wall will also house bronze plates of
V noted North Carolinians who have
made significant contributions in
civil rights, human rights and social
^ justice. The total project is expected
'; to cost $180,000 and will be built along
'I the newly constructed Martin Luther
King Boulevard in Southeast Raleigh.
Since April the committee has raised
$78,470. The telethon on Saturday is
expected to generate an additional
$50,000.
One of the organizers of the project,
; King Committee co-chairman Bruce
E. Llghtner, stated in an interview
with The CAROLINIAN, “This vi
sionary idea of establishing a perma
nent memorial to honor Dr. King and
others has become an all-consuming
effort on the part of many people
throughout the community. Our total
planning committee should be con
gratulated for its hard work, dedica
tion and resolve. Once the gardens
are completed, I think you will
witness a new sense of pride and en
thusiasm when we realize what can
be accomplished when we come
together.” The memorial gardens are
expected to be formally dedicated on
Jan. 15, 1990.
Ar auto and bus caravan led by
Rev. fcardy Watkins and Councilman

STATE DEPARTMENT
(Continued from page 1)
Serv’ne employees were white men,
the o. ' said. White women ac
counted tor 2,232 of the employees.
There were also 508 black men and
women, 324 Hispanics, 42 American
Indians or Alaskan natives, and 159
Asian Americans or Pacific
islanders, the study said.
In percentages, the figures were:
white men, 65; white women, 24;
black men, 3.3; black women, 2;
Hispanic men, 2.6; Hispanic women,
0.9; Asian American men, 1; Asian
American women, 0.7; American
Indian-Alaskan native men, 0.3;
women 0.15.
The study noted that white males
were overrepresented among
political and economic officers.
Political officers hold the more visi
ble jobs and have the most diplomatic
contacts.
Women of all races and ethnic
backgrounds became consular of
ficers—people who work on visas,
help Americans overseas, and issue
passports—and most minority males
become administrative officers—the
people in charge of budgets,
maintenance and supplies.
It added, however, that figures fail
to bear out the belief among
employees that promotions are more
likely to come from the political and
economic categories.
“The highest rate of promotion was
within the consular cone,” the study
said.
Charles Schmitz, vice president of
the 20,000-member American Foreign
Service Association, said he agreed
that the consular category had the
highest rate of promotions, which he
attributed to turnover.
But he also disputed any analysis
that women and minorities were
underrepresented at the consular or
economic level. “You can’t prove
that by me,’’ he said, noting in par
ticular Rozanne Ridgway, just
retired as assistant secretary of State
for Europe; Ambassador Ed Perkins,
a black who is now director general;
and Terry Todman, a career am
bassador who is blade.
He said the group feels the best way
is through more aggressive
recruiting.
The study found a particular pro
blem at the midlevel Foreign Service
fqr white women, saying there should
be 771 women in those positions while
in fact there are 311.
The study noted that State's
rscruiting efforts have not increased
the number of minorities taking the
Foreign Service examination for of
ficer positions, and it said minority
men and women pass the examina
tion at one-fourth the rate of whit*
men.
Even when minority applicants
cleared the hurdles of separate writ
ten and oral examinations, a final

Tiller explained.
Nominations are sent to five

An annual piano recital is another
project of the Optimists, under the in
struction of Ms. Battle, involving
some SO youth.
The Drug Abuse Symposium ended
with refreshments provided by the
Optimist Club and recreational swim

Tiller described the Optimist
philosophy as "Providing the oppor

"Some people see running I for
mayor] of Washington as an oppor
tunity to establish a model city,” he
said. "Others see it as an opportunity
to divert our efforts at winning the
party's nomination."
Jackson said he had meetings
scheduled with French President
Francois Mitterand and Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak, among
others.
Besides the hostages, Jackson said
he also hoped to discuss with Mit
terand and others the state of the
NATO alliance and whether it is
possible to reduce arms in light of
peace overtures by Soviet President
Mikhail Gorbachev.
Jackson, who is a graduate of N.C.
A&T State University in Greensboro,
recalled how far North Carolina has
come during the last quarter of a cen
tury.
"During this period in 1964, 1 had
just come out of jail in Greensboro,
along with Floyd McKissick and Dr.
Reginald Hawkins and countless
others across this state trying to
make a for a new North Carolina,'t
Jackson said, referring to the lunch
counter sit-ins to protest segregated
facilities.
“This is a new South 25 years
later,” he said.
Jackson praised the state
Democratic Party for recently nam
ing B. Everett Ward as the first black
executive director of the party.
"Twenty-five years ago, African
Americans did not have the right to
vote in the state of North Carolina,”
he said.
Jackson said he was glad Bush held
the civil rights ceremony, but disap
pointed that the president didn’t hold
a more substantive meeting with
black leaders.

will determine whether three defen
dants stand trial, has drawn wide at
tention with its links to Hollywood
power brokers, cocaine dealers and
Flynt's private militia.
Another member of the Flynt
security force, Alex Lamota Marti, is
charged with Radin's murder along
with Mentzer, Lowe and reputed drug
dealer Karen DeLayne "Lame"
Greenberger.
Deremer, who was released from
jail and granted immunity from pro
secution in return for his testimony,
said he worked for Flynt for about a
month in 1984, then was hired by a
detective to help guard the family of
Gregory Alan Calvalli of Beverly
Hills.
Deputy District Attorney David
Conn has said that Calvallis family
became the target of threats after the
young man met Mincher through an
ad for her sexual services. When
Calvalli met the 5’7”, 245-pound Min
cher, he rejected her, according to
witnesses at a 1986 trial in Calvalli
was acquitted of the murder.
Conn has said that Mincher
firebombed Calvalli’s car and harass
ed him and his family after the rejec
tion. Deremer said he was assigned to
guard Calvalli's grandmother and
Mentzer and Lowe guarded other
family members.
One night, Deremer said, while he
was sharing an apartment with Ment
zer and Lowe, the two men went out
and Mentzer declared, “They were
going to find the person causing this
trougble.”
Later that night, he siad, he met up
with the men again and Mentzer ask
ed for a ride, directing him to a loca
tion in the San Fernando Valley.
“We came to a place where traffic
had slowed down," he said. “There
were yellow ribbons where police had
marked off an area. There were some
police cars there.
“Mr. Mentzer said, ‘Don’t stop
here; just keep on going,’” Deremer
recalled. “He said, ‘The Calvallis
won’t have any more trouble.’ I said,
‘What do you mean?’ He said, ‘I had
to shoot two people here tonight.'”
Then, Deremer said, Mentzer told
him, “Just keep your mouth shut and
get out of here.”
While they were roommates,
Deremer said Mentzer showed him a
videotape of a news report of the
Radin murder.
“Did you watch the videotape?"
asked Conn.
“Yes,” said Deremer. “A couple of
minutes of it.”
“It wasn't entertainment, was it?”
asked Conn.
“No, it wasn’t," said Deremer.
Radin, 36, of Long Island, N.Y.,
who had come to Hollywood with
dreams of becoming a movie pro
ducer, disappeared on May 13, 1963,
after stepping into a limousine with
Ms. Greenberger and heading for a
meeting about the “Cotton Club"
deal.
His body was found a month later in
a dry riverbed 65 miles north of Los
Angeles. He died of multiple gunshot
wounds to the head.
A previous witness, William Rider,
who headed Flynt's security force,
testified he was told that Ms.
Greenberger and Evans, the former
chief of Paramount Picttiree, paid for
Radin's murder because of a dispute
over financing “The Cotton Club."
Evans has denied any involvement
but has refused to testify on grounds
that his statements might tend to in
criminate him.

accident?
A. You should notify both insurance companies. If you were at
fault, you should file a claim for damage to your automobile if you

surance company.
Q. Am I required to report an accident to my insurance company

A. No. You may purchase your automobile insurance from any
insurance company or agent that you may desire. You should shop
