Black to high post in NBA
CLEVELAND, The National Basketball Association (NBA) movedastep closer late last week in becomming the first major sports organization to be headed by a black when its board of governors unanimously elected .Simon Gourdine as deputy commissioner’s post, which will be vacated June 1, 1975 when Walter Kennedy retires. But Gourdine was cautious: “I want to make it clear that my election as deputy commissioner does not automatically give me the position of commissioner,’’said Gourdine. “However, I am hopeful that I will become commissioner sometime in the future. “My new position gives me a forum to show my skills, and I think that I have the ability to compete for the job.” Gourdine, elected to the post November 7, said his selection was an historic one and was symbolic in showing everyone that black are qualified to hold high administrative positions in the sport world. Gourdine has worked for the NBA since 1970. Prior to last Thursday’s decision, he held the post of vice presidnet of administration. He assumes his new position immediately with a three-year contract. Gourdine said he had specific TURN TO PAGE 15

Charge coercion of witnesses in Carter case NEW YORK— (NBNS) The defense for Rubin (Hurricane) Carter, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1967 for the triple murder at a local restaurant, has charged that the two key witnesses against Carter and his co-defen-dant, John Artis, were coerced by police authorities into lying against the two men. The disclosures, which came in tape-recorded words of a detective that was withheld from the Carter- Artis defense in 1967, appear to confirm the testimony of one of the key witnesses that he had been promised favors by officers in return for falsely testifying against the men. Carter, former middleweight boxer, and Artis, had been identified as the men but the witness, Alfred Bello, said he TURN TO PAGE 15

TIPS ON CAR CARE
Give Your Engine the White Glove Test Beneath many a gleaming, freshly polished auto hood rests a grimy, grease-coated overheated engine. Oil spilled during a change attracts dirt, and the accumulation acts as a heat-retaining blanket covering your engine. The result — the car runs hot, radiator cool-
ant boils away, pre-igni-
tion occurs and spark plugs prematurely fail. This dirt-grease accumulation cannot be entirely prevented, but a few simple engine cleaning steps performed regularly will save your money, your time and your temper. B.F.Goodrich car care experts recommend the following: first, play it safe by removing the battery. A spark could ignite the commercial engine-clean-ing solution. Next, remove spark plu gdistributor wires, tagging each wire to insure reconnecting later in proper engine firing order. Clean and check each wire for worn insulation or breaks. Remove the carburetor air cleaner, and with a small brush and kerosene, scrub the carburetor housing. Do not disturb the small carburetor setscrews which control fuel mixture. After cleaning, cover the exposed carburetor opening with plastic wrapping and secure it with a rubbei* band. This will prevent foreign matter from entering during engine
cleaning.
Scrape heavy deitosil*
of grime from the engine before you apply the commercial degreaser. This will allow the degreaser to do a thorough job of i>enetrating and loosening deposits. Commercial spray degreasers, available from most automotive accessory stores, are simple and easy to use. Follow the manufacturer’s directions as printed on the can to obtain maximum results. Allow sufficient time for the cleaner to do its job, and then, using a strong stream of water, rinse the engine, let it dry and reconnect the distributor wires. A solution of water and household baking soda can be used to neutralize and wash corrosive de|x>sils from battery, battery case and terminals before replacing the battery in the car. Cleaning is not a cureall for all engine problems but it will help to keep your engine from overheating, improve performance and protect wiring and hose from the damaging effects of oil and grease.
