THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER

Union sues Hygrode for pension funds The United Packinghouse Food and Allied Workers of America filed suit recently in the Chicago Federal District Court on behalf of members of Local 117 of Indianapolis to force Hygrade Food Corporation to comply with the arbitration ruling, awarding severance pay and pension rights for service with the Kingan Corp. which was purchased by the Hygi'ade chain. In the suit the union claims Hygrade closed its Indianapolis facility in August, 1966 and has refused to honor the severance Pay and pension rights accrued by union members during their service for Kingan & Co.

Continued fr>im Page 1 demanding that the church crackdown on Father Groppi, a white priest. Archbishop William E. Cousins talked to the group of white but did not comment on what was said. The city was tense Monday night after demonstrators, led by Father Groppi and comedian Dick Gregory, clashed with whites who showered them with bricks and bottles as they entered the Southside on thir 18th day of protest. Negro and white civil rights marchers had entered the Southside Sunday night without injury, but angry whites swarmed into the streets after the demon - strators had gone safely back into the Northside ghetto. The governor issued his plea after Monday night’s disorder. He urged Faher Groppi "to adopt a positive approach towards improving conditions in the inner core" where most of the Negroes live . ‘‘Job opportunities and an economic base for these people are what is required,” the governor said. "We have to get back to first principles. These people have got to realize that they have got to work.” He called upon Father Groppi to realize “there is no instant solution” and urged drafting of a list of community projects needed in the Negro area. "It is time we opend a dialog on Improving conditions in the inner core,” he governor added Despite his plea, it appeared that militant Negro marchers and white counter-marchers wuld continue their demonstrations. Meanwhile, Mayor Henry Maier, whose office was scattered with debris during a “sit-in” last week, announced that he had mailed letters asking nine citizens to work with a commission to improve relations. Those asked to join the Commission on Community RelaJ^ns included Archbishop Wiliam Cousins, Cornelius L. Goightly. Negro professor and ^resident of the Milwaukee Jrban League; and Erwin Maier, -ublisher of the Milwaukee ournal and the Milwaukee i.ntinel.

The second type of housing for which insurance company investment \l|ill be available will be individual residences in blighted areas, Weaver said. He added that these houses would be in the $10,000 to $12,000 range. The morgtages qn these houses would be insured by the FHA and purchased by insurance companies to provide construction money. A change in the FHA law approved by Congress last year enabled the FHA to move into slum areas on a large scale for the first time by modifying the restrictions on FHA insurance in high-risk areas, Weaver said. Presidential assistant Joseph A. Califano Jr. told reporter that if all of the one billion dollars was used to finance project under the rent suppements program it would be enough to build 80,000 new units f housing. Not all of the moneyl will be channeled into this program, however, he

said.

Califano said the insurance company plan was a response to Mr. Johnson’s appeal to private industry to join the Governmen in attacking the problems of the ghetto areas. He termed the new plan “unquestionably a major breakthrough for this country.” CHARLIE W.

Continued from Pa^c 1 any possible purchase” for Indiana schools of a recently released factual and comprehensive set of volumes which cites in detail the culture and historical background of the American Negro. Ironically, Superintendent Wells’ decision not to make available to the school children of Indiana editions of “The International Library of Negro Life and History,” which is regarded as the most complete and factual source available today which highlights the contributions of great Negroes —both past and present, was made even though the purchases can be made without the outlay of a single cent of state funds. The volumes are available to the state through the use of Federal funds authorized under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 which provides for the purchase of “school library resources, textbooks and other instructional material, it was disclosed. Published under the auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, a 50 - year - old non-profit corpomtion with headquarters in Washington, D. C., and edited after more than 70 years of research by Dr. Charles Wesley who is regarded as the world’s foremost historian and lecturer in the field of Negro history and culture, the volumes have received the acclaim of numerous educators across the country since its release earlier this year. The first five volumes include: (1) The contributions of Negro Americans in the Civil War. (2) The History of the Negro in Medicine. (3) Anthology of the American Negro in the Theatre. (4) Historical Negro Biographies, and (5) The Negro in Mlasic and Art. An honest account of the Negro’s role in the development of America is long overdue. The Negro has a proud history of proud achievement but, with few exceptions, the standard sources of world history have failed to include his contributions. Nowhere in the school systems throughout Indiana is there presently available easily obtained referenc material which would help a Negro child, or even a white child, to prepare a report on the contributions of most of the great Negro Americans — and there are many, according to a spokesman. Recognizing the need for including in the curriculum of Indiana schools current, authentic and adequate materials which denote the Negro’s role in our iluustrious' history, the Indiana State Civil Rights Commission, in January of this year, issued a memorandum urging the formulation of projects designed to bring about these goals. Addressed to the state’s school superintendents, administrators, social science teachers and educators, and over the signature of Osma D. Spurlock, deputy director, of the Rights Commissions, the memorandum urged, among other things: “The adoption of textbooks, readers and supplementary materials with integrated illustrations so that white and Negro children will grow up in the realization that they are copartners and citizens in American history; The adoption of history and social science texts which more accurately depict the place of the American Negro in history; the availability in school libraries of books and information on the American Negro which are accurate and not stereotyped, and that teachers be urged to use materials and textbooks that are integrated.” While the Federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare does not specify materials to be purchased with Title funds, the department fully supports the utilization of these funds for the purchase of multi-cultural teaching aids, a spokesman said. And, included in the United States Civil Rights Commission’s 1967 report on “Racial isolation in the Public Schools is the notation that: “One of the elements of a compensatory education program (for disadvantaged students) should involve efforts to overcome attitudes which inhibit learning.” “Many educators,” the reports point out, “have recognized that a lack of self-esteem is a major cause of academic failure. A number of compensatory programs attempt to improve self-esteem (through the study of Negro history, for example), ets. . . ” Through the use of teaching materials that show the positive contributions of minority groups in our democratic society, the Negro student is able to gain an insight into his notable and proud heritage, which, in turn, will lead to the developments of a sense of pride in his race and its accomplishments. At the same time, the myth, which is far too prevelant in the white community, which shows the Negro as “shiftless and lazy and the white man’s burden” can be erased with the knowledge that the Negro has made many significant contributions to society.

Continued from Page 1 the court. At one point he squard off like a boxer when officers took him by the arm. Atty. William M. Kunstler of New York, one of Mr. Brown’s attorneys, urged that he will wage a fight through the courts “up to the Suprme Court” to keep the SNCC chairman from going on trial in Maryland. Atty. Kunstler indiciated that a fight could extend six months and maintained that it was unfair to keep Brown jailed through such a period. The 23«-year old Mr. Brown was named in extradition papers signed Aug. 23 by Gov. Mills E. Godwin of Virginia. The plan in Fairfax was for Mr. Brown’s Counsel to ask member; of the State Supreme Court, Judge Harry Carrico, to grant bond. The Supreme Court is not in session. Another legal consultant for the SNCC leader said his client intended to oppose extradition on the grounds that he was arrested illegally and could not get a fair trial in Maryland. Mr. Brown was arrested in Alexandria several days after the Cambridge uprising on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He was released on $10,000 bond andthe federal charge later was dropped. Miss election Continued from Page 1

make certain that Negroes and Negro candidates are assured ( justice and fair play in all elec-

tions.”

Negro candidates were defeated by white opponents in 21 contests in nine counties across the state. Many of the losses were by large margins. This was in sharp contrast to Negro victories in the first primary on Aug. 8. In that election Negro candidates swept to victory in 16 contests. Mr. Evers said the setback suffered by Negro candidates in the second election stemmed from his belief that “The whole thing was rigged.” Nearly 200,000 Negroes were eligible to vote as a result of th-> I'edc-ral Voting Rights A.ct of 1965. Prior to this year’s election only about 25,000 Negroes were registered to vote, mainly because of fear and intimidation and and the antiquated poll tax. NAACP officers in the state had urged Negroes to seek public office in their drive to gain Constitutional guarantees and political representation. TOOTHACHE Why suffer agony?

Earlier this year he was appointed to the Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority, becoming the first of his race ever to serve on the commission. In 1952, he was an unsuccessful caididate’ for the Norfolk City Council. Mr. Young became editor and publisher of the Guide upon the death of his father, P. B. Young Sr., in 1962.

Mr. Young was born at Norfolk on Oct. 26, 1908. He attended grade schools in the city and was graduated from the Academy at Hampton Institute in 1926. He enrolled at New York University for one year and completed his colleg training at Ohio State University in 1932, receiving degrees in journalism and law. Mr. Young was awarded the honorary degree of doctors of letters by Shaw University in 1963 and was presented the Hampton Institute Alumni Award in 1965. He was affiliated with numerous social, civic, civil rights and community groups. Survivors include his widow, Marguerite Chisholm Young; a daughter, Mrs. Milicent Young Henderson of Baltimore; a brother P. Bernard Young Jr. of Norfolk; a son-m-law, Dr. Irvin Henderson of Baltimore, and a grandson, Irvin Henderson Jr., Baltimore.
