Xonservative planning* benefits total population, candidate notes

John R. Hall, appointed Republican candidate for state representative in District 45, says conservative planning, “when guided by intelligent and concerned citizens," benefits the total population and says he’d rather see a policy of planning than bargaining in his attempt at public office. “Perhaps it is unusual that a member of a minority which has been neglected by both political parties would choose the conservative end of the spectrum to express his often withheld views on the social, economic and political conditions of Afro-Ameri-cans on the verge of the 21st Century. Why he chooses conservative planning: “An example will serve to bring into perspective our problems as Afro--Americans,’’ says Hall, a 27-year-old teacher at Arsenal Technical High School. “As childrenplay games in school, the fastest one of us would win t h e r,a c e. If money is found on the playground, the strongest one of us could bargin for the money and neglect the weakest one who

“The Republican Party takes the time to plan, and this please me. Money and funds given to those who bargain for programs destined to fail, can do only one thing: benefit the bargainers. That is not the purpose for which the money is intended.

h a d nomeansof bargaining either by strength or prestige. “Misguided Afro-Ameri-cans will take that last statement as being one which describes us as being weak and inferior people dealing with superior sources such as Standard Oil or Xerox. This is not true! If I believe it to be true, I would be out disowning my people rather than trying to open a few eyes to the dilemma of the black community. “The point is that when you’re bargaining, only a few people will benefit and it is usually those who have the most money or voting pow-er who win in the end.” Hall said bargaining tends to be the “instrument” used by other political parties to “keep my people and others from reaping the harvest of their toils.”

“Another question, is why are we Afro-Americans disturbed about the effect of the former president of the United States had upon the black community; -- when in fact, he had no effect whatsoever. Those of u s who feel such concern should only put that energy into our neighborhoods, there would be fewer problems for all AfroAmericans! T he former president hid no more input into black minds than did the motion pictures “The Mack,” and “Superfly.” Former President Nixon had nothing to do with the black country club failing. He had as little to do with the narcotics shootings in my District as he had with our children learning to read and write.

“C a n either black businesses or religious organizations go into the black c o mmunities and improve our neighborhoods? Either the businesses a r e not diversified enough to have the necessary capitol on hand; or churches are too busy neglecting social problems. Churches such as Mt. Zion, Mt. Paron, Christ Temple, Eastside Baptist, and Rev. Samuels in Haughville are moving to attack needed social problems in their communities. Other churches must follow suit or either fall by the wayside.

WASHINGTON — (NBNS) — U. S. Rep. Charles Diggs, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Africa, has filled a suit in federal court here aimed at stopping further commerce Department contracts with the South African government over the importing of fur seals from Namibia (South West Africa.) Charging that he twice has attempted to visit Namibia to investigate the fur seal-killing program but has been refused entry by the South African government, Diggs said the Commerce Department deal- j ings were Illegal because they reinforced the “perpetuation of colonialism and racism” from the “Illegal” control over Namibia by the apartheid government. Diggs, former chairman of the Congressional Black C aucus, asked the court to order Commerce Secretary Frederick B. Dent to immediately halt these contracts with the South Africa government. The suit argues that the U. S. dealings violate the United Nations charter, various

U. N. Security Council resolutions and an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the status of Namibia, “and thus the legal obligations and laws of the United States pursuant to Article 6 of t h e Constitution.” Theo-Ben Gurirab, representative to the U. N. and '(he Americas of t ,h e American Committee on Africa a nd George Houser, secretary of the South West Africa Peoples Organization.

Black policenien seek hiring ban

RICHMOND—(NBNS) — Citing an unresolved racial discrimination case, black Richmond police want an injunction against further hiring, promotion or assignment. The Richmond Black Police Officer Association filed the request for a preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court. In it, the association charged that the written entrance examination used by the department “has not been validated” and said it resulted in a “significantly greater” number of blacks than whites failing the test. “Far more blacks are rejected for employment than whites,” the suit contends, because applicants must submit photographs on their employment applications.
