Will Mississippi get its 1st black senator?

JACKSON, Florida - ^ Fayette Mayor Charles Evers says Missippi is ready to send a black senator to Washington -him. Evers, bother of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers, is mounting an independent cam paign that he says has his Democratic and Republican op ponents "running scared.” Evers, 56, a tavern owner in Fayette and an admitted former bootlegger in his Chicago days, has fused what he calls a “strange coalition” of blacks and whites in his cam paign for the seat being vacated by Sen. James 0. Eastland. The heavy-set Evers says he has the advantage over his opponents. Democrat Maurice Dentin, Republican Rep. Thad Cochran and black independent Henry J. Kirksey. “I would bring home the bacon for Mississippi- I mean jobs, good health programs, veterans,” he said. Evers has the suport of a group of influential whites, including an oilman and contractor H.R. (Red) Morgan, who once campaigned for segregationist Jimmy Swan in the 1971 governor's race. Morgrn said he decided to support Evers because of his call for return to neighborhood schools and because Evers has spoken out against busing. "Charles can go to Washington and say things I cannot say because he’s black. If he wants to raise the question

Argentina's ban on Christians appealed

Many of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Indianapolis area will be writing letters of appeal to government officials in Argentina, where their Christian society is currently under ban. James West, presiding overseer of the Washington Park Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, explained that a concerted effort in sending letters of appeal was being instituted now. This is because all efforts of legal recourse to return freedom of worship to Jehovah’s Witnesses in Argentina have failed. “In September of 1976,” West explained, “the Argentine government announced that Jehovah’s Witnesses were banned from practicing their religion. Time-consuming legal proceedings followed as Jehovah’s Witnesses appealed the ban through the Argentine court system. Finally, though, in February 1978, news sources in Argentina declared: ‘Supreme Court Upholds Executive Decree Banning Jehovah’s Witnesses.’ The ban has continued in effect ever since.” West said that a report from the New York Headquarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses indicated that the ban has resulted in persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Argentina. Their meeting places for Bible study have been closed down, children have been expelled from schools, aduft Witnesses suffered loss of government employment, their private homes have been raided, arrests and even physical as-

saults have taken place. Calling the ban unjust. West went on to describe the activity of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Argentina. “Jehovah’s Witnesses,” he related, “are a society of peaceful Christians. The 33,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses in Argentina, as the Witnesses in the United States and each of the 214 other nations where they are active, regularly meet together to study the Bible and offer aid to other persons to learn more about God’s Word.” Regarding the Witnesses’ view of governmental authorities, West referred to the Bible, at Titus chapter 3, verse 1, where, he said, “it tells Christians ‘to be in subjection and be obedient to governments and authorities as rulers.’ This is the position Witnesses take all over the world, including Argentina. Jehovah's Witnesses are not subversives. They are lawabiding Christians who put worship of God first in their lives.”

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, an American family with two children, 6 to 11 years old, in 1974 spent on the average $58.10 a week on food. In 1965, the same sort of family spent $34. * * * It has been estimated that only 21 percent of the world’s land surface can be cultivated and that only two-., fifths of this is currently under cultivation.

Begin study on contributions of black women to America

Research team”s work in Uganda may show virus as cancer

COLUMBIA, S.C.Benedict College has begaun a two-year research project on contributions of black women to the growth and development of the United States over the past 200 years. Directed by Dr. Marianna W. Davis, professor of English, the study has first-year funding of $193,913 under the Women's Education Equity Act of the U.S. Dept, of Health, Education and Welfare. Historical materials selected by the researchers will be compiled in 10 booklets covering the fields of medicine, education, law, media, civil rights, business, sports, science, politics and the arts. Noting that historical accounting of the contributions of black women is sparse, Dr. Davis said, “Writers of history and humanities school books, especially, have omitted the active aggressive, achieving and constructive roles of black women in American society, and school curricula at all levels, including those in women’s studies and black studies, have failed to address adequately the contributions of of black women.” The Benedict research project said, is aimed at making information on achieveing black women "easily accessible to people in general and blacks in

particular.’’ Among the contributors who will participate in the research project are Lerone Bennett, senior editor of Ebony magazine; Kentucy State Senator Gerogis M. Posers, California Assemblywoman Maxine Waters, Dr. Grace McFadden, historian. University of South Carolina; Winnoa Lake, American Assn, of MESBICS; Steve S u i 11 s, executive director. Southern Regional Council, Atlanta; Dr. Monroe Fordham, president, Afro-American Historical Assn., and Dr. Lenore McNeer, human relations specialist, Vermont. Also, Dr. Jessie C. Smith, archivist, Fist University; Venitia Terrell, research special, University of Missiouri; Dr. Cecelia Palmer, University of Tulas, Dr. Francis Foster, academic dean, San Diego State College; Dr. Phyllis Klotman, Afro-American specialist and affirmative action officer, Indiana State University. And, Dr. A. Cromwell Gulliver, director, African and Afro-American Center. Boston University, and Dr. Lou Holloway, historical, Tougaloo College, Mississippi. In announcing the two-year research project. Dr. Davis observed: “The historical books of John Hope Franklin and Benjamin

Quarles, renowned black historians, carry very few lines on the active roles and contributions of black women to the development of America. "Although black women have consistently been leaders in the history of the struggle for equality in employment, education. political participation and other avenues of American society, their models have not been easily accessible to people in general and black in particular. “Many Americans have the opportunity to learn the chronology of the history of white women, but very few Americans, including black females, know that Marh Church Terrell was the first president of the National Assn, for Colored Women or that Boorhees College was founded in 1897 by Elizabeth Evelyn Wright, a black woman. While field workers and locators shall be seeking information on black women who have made valuable and noteworthy contributions to the making of America, they will appreciate additional information not easily found in libraries or archieves. Such information should be documented and sent to the project director. Dr. Marianna W. Davis, Benedict College, S.C. 29204.

At 27, he’s controlling $300 million sales take

about neighborhood schools he can. If the other candidates did this they would be branded as racists)”, Morgan said. Evers school at theories whites are supporting him to drain off black support from Dantin and help elect Cochran. “Why would I ant to get votes away from the Democrat? The truth of the matter is that I have more friends in the Democrats- it’s just stupid. Evers, the first black elected mayor of a biracial town since reconstruction, has taken stands on a number of controversial issues, including neighborhood schools. He said welfare should be replaced with workfare and prayer should be return to the schools.” “Somewhere down the line white folks got the impression that blacks don’t want to work. Hell, this wild country was built off poor black and white folks.” he said. “The only way you are going to get anything in this country is to work for it. That's why I advocated work-fare-people want to work and they want jobs and it is up to the government and private industry to give it to them." Evers, who ran for governor in 1971, also says he is a strong law-and order advocate. “The only place in this country that is safe is Fayette. I run a strict law-and-order justice town. I don’t care if you are white as a sheet or black as my shoe, if you break the law in Fayette you pay," he said.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.Brand management offers “infinite career opportunities” for the ambitious person willing to acquire the necessary educa tion, says Charles Sharp, acting brand manager for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. Coordinating a company’s sales and marketing activities for a specific brand of a consumer product is known as brand management. Consider brand management the hub of the corporate wheel, says Sharp, who manages Reynolds Tobacco's famous Camel and Camel filter brands of cigarettes. Around this hub various support functions all working with brand management to bring additional sales and profits into the company. “In brand management, you are limited only by your own initiative and drive. For the person looking for development of his or her management skills, brand management is a perfect career choice." Brand management, however, is not an easy career to pursue. In Sharp’s case a master of business administration degree backed by a bachelor's degree in business provided the back ground necessary to assume control over products that generate more than $300 million in sales every year. “The jobs that lend themselves to higher levels of management now require an M.B.A. That degree will get you through the door and then it’s up to you,” the 27-year old Madisonville, Ky., native says. When Sharp first entered Millikin University in Decatur, 111., brand management was one of the farthest things from his mind. As a star defensive tackle and heavyweight wrestler, sports were largely responsible for getting Sharp to attend college. He enrolled in a liberal arts program, planning on majoring in English and devoting a good part of his energies to sports. But only a few months into college he decided that perhaps his priorities needed rearranging. “I really went to college for the football. But after less than a year, I found there’s a greater importance in life than athletics. In order to prepare myself for a meaningful future, I began to concentrate on academics.” Sharp relates. Sharp enrolled in the business school, dropped out of football after his sophomore year and, although he wrestled for four years, his studies came first. On one point. Sharp is adamant-you don’t have to be a genius to go to college.“Only the very bright should go to college-not true! The average person often does better in a structured learning environment. You just have to be willing to put in the effort,” Sharp emphasizes. When graduation loomed on the horizon, Sharp was showered with job offers. His 3.3 point (out of a possible four) grade average and business administration degree were attractive to major firms. “It was tempting but there are so many options open to a person with a graduate degree. There were more things I needed to learn about before I entered the business world,” Sharp says. He was fortunate to land a full scholarship to Washington University in St. Louis and enrolled in the M.B. A. program

with concentration on marketing. When graduation again rolled around two years later, Sharp was faced with another decision which aspect of marketing to emphasize. Retailing, marketing research, advertising and brand management routes are open to those with M.B.A. in marketing. After interviewing with Reynolds Tobacco in WinstonSalem. N.C. Sharp recognized brand management with the nation's largest tobacco com pany would provide a learning

position with a growth oriented company. Although he is still young. Sharp is looking beyond br^nd management. “We all must have long ranged efforts lose purpose," Sharp says. “I certainly see ^executive level exposure in my future.” Sharp operates on what he classifies as a “very basic philosphy” of believing in him self and what he is doing, "as far as I am concerned, the sky is the limit."

Senate votes medical plan for pregnant teenagers

WASHINGTON The Senate Friday approved a bill creating a program to provide medical help to preg nant teenagers, including a provision requiring that expectant girls under 17 be advised that abortion counsel ing is available.. The new $210 million program for pregnant teenagers w as part of a nearly $2.8 billion health grants bill providing for numerous health programs through 1983. The measure was approved on a vote of 82 to 4. While the bill requires that pregnant girls under the age of

17 be informed that abortion counseling services are available, an amendment that would have made abortion counseling mandatory was defeated 66 to 13. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D Mass., chairman of a Senate health subcommittee, said 1 million teenagers became pregnant in 1975 and 600,000 of them gave birth. Teenage pregnancies result in a high rate of infant deaths poor health of the mother and a continuing cycle of poverty for both mother and children, Kennedy said.

NEW YORK - An international medical research team has all but proved that a virus known to be widespread throughout the world is a cause of at least one type of human cancer. For years scientists have been trying to prove that viruses are among the causes of human cancer. Proof has always been elusive, but would be important for a better understanding of the cancer process and for practical public health reasons such as the possibility of developing a vaccine against a proven cancer virus. The new findings from a field study begun in Uganda in 1971, “strongly support a casual relationship” between the virus and the cancer, the research group reported in a recent issue of Nature, the British scientific weekly. The virus is called the Epstein-Barr virus after the two British scientists who discovered it more than a decade ago. The cancer is a cancer of the body’s lymphatic system. The Epstein Barr virus is the front runner in the race to be elected the first human oncogenic (cancer-causing) virus” said a commentary in another internationally known British scientific journal, The Cancel. "Some say it has already breasted the tape." The new evidence comes from a field study in which blood samples were taken, early in childhood, from 42,000 children in an area of Uganda where Burkitt’s lymphoma is relatively comon. The reseachers hoped to discover whether those who did develop the cancer had a different experience with the virus than those who remained free of the disease. Because virtually everyone in that area becomes infected with the virus during childhood, it w as not enough to show that the child who later developed the cancer had indeed been infected. There had to be something unusual about the person's experience with the virus. The research group, led by Dr. Guy de The of the International Agency for Research bn Cancer expected to test three hypotheses through their study. The first was that there was no relationship between the cancer and the virus infection. The second was that the cancer developed shortly after t he in fecti^n with the virus and the third was that the cancer developed only after long and heavy exposures to the virus. The study findings gave strong support to the third hypothesis and also reinforced the long standing belief among scientists that there is another factor, in addition to the severe virus infection, that must be present if the -ancer is to

develop. Present and past evidence has convinced many scientists that another essential factor for this type of cancer is malaria. A public health project already in progress in Tanzania is expected to give strong evidence on this. Public health workers there have been giving children drugs to prevent lalaris and have see a drop in malaris infection among them from 40 percent to only 5 percent. If the strongly suspected link between Bur! itt’s lymphoma, E-B virus and malaria is valid, a drop in the frequency of that kind of cancer should become evident during the next several years. In a commentary in Nature, accompanying the report from Dr. De-The’s group, Dr. M.A. Epstein said the newly reported study shows a stronger relationship between the virus and the cancer than the evidence that has established heavy cirgarette smoking as a cause of lung cancer. The British scientist was the principal pioneer in efforts to link Burklitt’s lymphoma with the virus that bears his name. In the commentary, he said that laboratory studies have

proved that the virus is found in the patient’s cancer tissue and that, in the test tubes, the virus is able to transform human white blood cells into a cancer like state. “Direct proof that Epstein Barr birus causes Burkitt’s lymphoma can only be obtained by showing that vaccination against the virus decreases tumor incidence," said Dr. Epstein, who has long ad vocated such project. He said the new informatin from Uganda lends suport to that proposal and attempts to dimish another type of cancer called nasopharyngeal carcin oma, which is also suspected of having the virus as one of its major causes. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a major form of cancer among some Far Eastern populations groups. In addition to the International Agency for Research on Cancer a World Health Organization group, the or ganizations that contributed to the study in Ugcnda were the East African Virus Research Institute, Tntebbe; the Uni versity of Erlangen in West Germany; the U.S. Cen ter for east Congrol in Atlanta and Children's Hospital, Phila delphia.
