CAMP HILL, PA. (DPI) - |
Shoplifters get the headlines, but
store employes account for HO
per cent of retail merchandise
losses, according to the head of
Pennsylvania Retailers Associa
tion.
J. Thomas Weyant, the associ

the Greater Harrisburg Crime
Clinic that dishonest employes,
in most cases, “are created, not
hired.”

group of employes is basically
nonest, another fourth is basical

.“just as dishonest as you (the
store manager or supervisor) allow
them to be.”

Some causes were noneriininal,
such as a supervisor’s failure to

others stemmed from dishonest

Abernathy Plans New Drive
By JACK WILKINSON
ATLANTA (UPI) — Inspired
by an election victory by Ala
bama Negroes that he said
overshadowed man’s first walk
on the moon, the Rev. Ralph D.
Abernathy Wednesday outlined
a program aimed at further
black voting conquests in the
South.
“We can’t stand defeat. We
must have nonviolent victories,”
Abernathy, head of the South
ern Christian Leadership Con
ference (SCLC), said In an
nouncing the timetable.
But he said he expected the
resistance to be stiffer with
each black success.
“Our job will be more diffi
cult. Opposing forces know we
will not be stopped—and they
will do everything possible to
stop us.”
Abernathy called the election
of all six Negro candidates in
Oreene County, Ala., In a spe
cial election Tuesday “one of
the greatest steps taken by
black people since the emanci
pation proclamation.” The vic
tories gave Negroes control of
the county government and the
county school board—the first
such black domination in a
Southern county since Recon
struction.
“To me, the Greene County
victory Is more Important than
the mission of Apollo 11," Aber
nathy said.
"Astronauts (Nell A.) Arm
strong and (Edwin E.) Aldrin
found only rocks covered with
dust on the moon. In Greene
County, we found human beings
living a life of misery and pov
erty, exploited by a white struc
ture over which poor black peo
ple had no control,” he said.
Some of the newly-elected Ne
gro county commissioners “are
at a total loss” in their new
jobs, he said, but added that
SCLC is trying to correct the
situation.
"We plan to ask experts in
government services and teach
ers from Harvard, the Univer
sity of Alabama and other great
Institutions of this country to
work with these new officials
so they will be qualified to car
ry out their responsibilities, and
Greene County will no longer be
the fifth poorest in the nation
and the second poorest In Ala
bama.”
Abernathy said SCLC will aid
other Negro candidates — pri
marily In the 1970 elections —
in a number of counties In Ala
bama, Georgia and Virginia.
Alabama counties cited were
Marengo, Pickens, Perry, Hale,
Dallas, Wilcox, Sumter, Clarke
and Lowndes — each with a
black majority. In Georgia,
Abernathy said Negro voter reg
istration drives probably would
take place in Fulton (Atlanta),
Pike, Chatham (Savannah) and
Kentucky fried

BOATING ]
By JACK WOLISTON
NEW YORK (UPI) -
An alarming number of pleasure
boating mishaps have been re
ported so far this year, leading
observers to predict 1969 may _
be one of the worst in terms *
of casualties and property dam
age.
Most discouraging have been
the number of accidents report
ed involving multiple deaths,
such as a recent capsizing on
a Texas lake which claimed six
lives.
This unpleasant outlook
comes on the heels of the Coast
Guard’s annual statistical report
which shews boating accidents
reported in 1968 were up 2 per
cent over the preceding year --
4,194, compared with 4,113 in
1967.
It should be pointed out,
however, that the number of
registered pleasure boats opera
ting in 1968 was 4,742,871 a
gainst 4,458,893 in 1967. And
that 1968 figure probably has
increased by another quarter
million at this point.
The Coast Guard report also
gave these figures for 1968:
- Deaths in boating accidents
were up 2.3 per cent - 1,342
compared with 1,312 in 1967 -
but reported injuries were down
5.9 per cent -- 1,284 against
1,365 in 1967.
- Property damage was up
9.5 per cent -- $6,631,600 com
pared with $6,054,100 in 1967.
-- There were 5,427 vessels
involved in the 4,194 accidents
reported.
A Coast Guard analysis of
its statistics showed the familiar
pattern of pervious years where
fatalities were concerned - cap
sizings accounted for more lives
lost than any other type of cas
ualty, followed by falls over
board and sinkings, in that or
der.
Most of the capsizings were
attributed to faulty operations
such as improper loading or
overloading of the boat, ignoring
weather warnings, and operating
in waters that exceeded the lim
its of the boat or the opera
tor’s experience.
Most of the personal injuries
resulted from collision of two
vessels or one craft ramming a
fixed object. Fires and ex
plosions caused the second lar
gest number of injuries, but ac
counted for the greatest amount
of property damage.
Disregard of safe fueling prac
tices, improper maintenance of
engine and equipment, and in
experience of the operator were
cited as the principal causes of
I fires and explosions.
