international Freedom Symbol
Fanfare And Protests Await Mandela
African National Congress leader
Nelson Mandela will arrive in the
United States this week to a hero’s
welcome, commercial fanfare and
protests.
In New York, Mayor David N.
Dinkins warned Jewish groups
against protesting the visit of the
apartheid leader, saying the protests
might insult the black community.
In Washington, Mandela will be
royally received, but despite the
presidential style greeting, he may
find little support from the Bush ad
irinio»--*i— tnr his calls to continue
and increase sanctions against South
Africa.
In the South, including Raleigh,
there are planned rides to Atlanta for
a Mandela rally. The Civil & Human
Rights Groups in Raleigh have
mobilized a “Caravan to Mandela.”
The N.C. NAACP is also sponsoring a
trip to Atlanta for a rally that will be
held on the campus of Georgia Tech
at 6 p.m. on June 27.
Mandela will be royally greeted in
New York on June 21 with a ticker
tape parade during his U-day tour of
at least 8 American cities to express
his gratitude to American people and
the anti-apartheid movement and to
urge continued pressure on South
Africa.
Recently released after 44-years in
prison, Mandela, the ANC party
leader, will address the U.S. Con
gress during his tour arranged by a
coalition of private groups and public
officials including mayors, members
of Congress, unions, religious units,
entertainers and businessmen, ANC
representatives Tebogo Mafole and
Lindewe Mabuza said.
Mayor Dinkins asked members of
the “organized Jewish community”
to dissuade more radical groups from
disrupting the visit. “There is a
danger of many people who hold
Nelson Mandela in very, very high
esteem taking great umbrade” at any
public protest, Mr. Dinkins said.
“I think it’s said and unfortunate
and tactically very, very unwise,
because this man is an international
symbol of freedom and especially so
seen by persons of color,” Mr.
Dinkins told the newspaper in an in
terview.
Leaders of several Jewish
American organizations want the
South African leader to clarify his
position on Israel.
Mandela has embraced Yasser
Arafat, chairman of the Palestine
Liberation Organization, the public
and has compared the struggle of
Palestinians to that of black South
Africans.
Robbi Abraham Weiss of the
Hebrew Institute announced his

Keep Felons Locked Up

BY JOSEPH W. DEAN
An Anatyib
A few months ago, I stood beside
the presidents of the North Carolina
Sheriffs’ Association and the North
Carolina Association of Chiefs of
Police as they endorsed a bold and in
novative plan. The plan, proposed by
Gov. Jim Martin, calls for spending
$490 million to build 9,500 new prison
spaces.
The presidents told of the frustra
tion among the law enforcement com
munity, caused by the fact that the
people they arrest don’t spend their
due time in prison.
They told of how the citizens in
their communities are tired of drug
dealers, robbers, and burglars being
turned loose because there is
There is not' enough room in our*
prisons for the people who break the
law and threaten the safety of every
citizen of this stae. The Martin ad
ministration wants to increase the
state’s prison capacity from 18,000 to
27,500. Here is how we came up with
that number.
Just to get the assaultive felons,
drug felons, and repeat property
felons (professional burglars) to
serve an average of 40 percent of
their sentence, 19,000 prison beds are
needed. If we require that drug traf
fickers serve their entire sentence,
that would require another 2,000
spaces. That totals 21,000.
But what about all those others who
