INDIAN SECURITY TROOPS patrol a road along the
Jammu-Sialkot border where the grass on one side
belongs to Pakistan and on the other side to India. All
is quiet on the frontier where India and Pakistan fought
a tank battle in 1965, but both sides maintain a strict
training program.
Black Socialism
New SCLC Thrust
By ROBERT GORDON
FROGMORE, S. C. (UPI) —
Negro leader Ralph Abernathy,
rejecting “black capitalism” In
favor of “black socialism,”
said Tuesday the civil rights
group he heads is out to or
ganize all the nation’s poor In
the next five years.
“We don’t want rich individu
als, we want rich communities”,
Abernathy said at a meeting of
Southern Christian Leadership
Conference leaders planning
their goals and programs.
The SCLC leaders were meet
ing at the Penn community cen
ter, a facility set up at the end
of the Civil War to help freed
slaves and a favorite quiet re
treat for the late president of
SCLC, Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr.
Abernathy sharply criticized
President - elect Richard M.
Nixon, saying “black capitalism
is a bone and we are tired of
being tossed bones.”
Abernathy said the nation’s
economy has been centered
around whites, Including the
business structure, and he was
not Interested In making black
individuals rich, but in helping
groups.
“We need to organize com
munity - owned development
corporations where the profits
will be returned to the build
ing of the community," he said.
“We want to share in the pub
lic sector of the economy
through publicly controlled non
profit Institutions.
"I don’t believe In black ca
pitalism. I believe in black so
cialism."
Abernathy said the five-year
goal of organizing the nation’s
poor would take place both In
side and outside of established
labor unions, and there would
be special emphasis on hospi
tals and domestic workers.
He said SCLC would work
closely with the Negro Labor
Council “in order that people
not be exploited by labor un
ions.”
Part of the SCLC 1969 pro
gram he said, would Include
drives to build low - rent hous
ing in 15 major cities in the
nation.
He said ground for the first
such project, built under the
new housing act through the
Ebenezer Baptist Church in At
lanta, will be dedicated Jan. 15
on the same day as a pilgrim
age to the grave of King on
his birthday.
Abernathey said there would
likely be new demonstration
campaigns in 1969. He criticized
those who believed that the
"conscience of the nation” could

ATLANTA (UPD—Gov. Les-*
ter Maddox said today he be
lieves “it is high time that we
in Georgia stop treating our
prison inmates as though they,
were just a bunch of criminals.
“Some of them are, it is
true,” Maddox said, “but many
of these men and women who*
are paying their ‘debt’ to soci
ety were simply unfortunate
enough to be caught at their
weakest moment. *
“I would venture to say that,
if most citizens in this state
counted the times that they,
themselves, have violated a’
law, and if they computed the
prison sentences that they could
have received If they had been
caught, most of us would see.
that we could now be sitting tn
prison, ourselves, with much
time to serve.”
The governor made the re-‘
marks in a speech prepared for
delivery to the Atlanta Press
Club at a noon luncheon today
at which he outlined a prison*
building program that would in
clude six more regional penal
facilities.
“In the budget of the State*
Board of Corrections, I will be
asking for six more regional
penal facilities similar to the
three which we now have under*
construction,” Maddox said
“This would give us a total of
nine regional penal Institutions, ’
with a capacity of some 1,500*
inmates, w'hich would help to
make Georgia’s prison system
one of the most modern and en- »
lightened in the nation.” ,
Maddox said he also would be
asking for funds to construct a (
$7 million dollar maximum se
curity building at Reidsville,*
which would permit the segre
gation of the most hardened
and corruptive criminals from
those who are making a sincere*
effort to rehabilitate them
selves.
“There will also be a request
for funds to construct an $8 mil-*
lion work - release, pre - release
center in metropolitan Atlanta,”
he added. “This would be a sig- 1
nificant and long - overdue step*
In bringing Georgia’s penal sys
tem out of the dark ages.”
