MILWAUKEE, WIS -The
Rev. Jesse Jackson, president
of PUSH (People United to
Save Humanity), and John A.
Murphy, president of the Miller
Brewing Company, annouced
last week an agreement to steer
$53.5 million of the brewer’s
annual operational budget into
minority employment, business
enterprises, and charities.
“The agreement” Murphy
said, “is wholly consistent with
our policy to expand the
employment and other
economic opportunities for
Blacks and non-whites in all
parts of the United States.”
Rev. Jackson asserted, that
with this agreement, Miller
acknowledges the role of Black
and non-white purchasers in
maintaining its strategic
position in the market place
and potentially improving that
position.
“As a significant part of the
agreement”, said Murphy,
“Miller will establish a
management intern program
with Black colleges as a further
contribution toward the
development of Black
industrial leadership in the
nation.” He emphasized that

the Black intern program is
highly relevant and in perfect
concert with Operation PUSH’S
1973 EXPO Theme - “Save
The Black Colleges”.
Here’s how the $53.5
million will be allocated:
$4,500,000 annually to bring
minority employment up to
15% of Miller’s total,
$4,500,000 or 15% of the
company’s group insurance will
be placed with minority
insurance firms.
Some $37,500,000 will be
deposited annually in minority
banks; $4,500,000 will be
spent with non-white suppliers;
$1,200,000 in advertising and
public relations funds will be
allocated to non-white
newspapers and other media;
$1,000,000 of the brewery’s
construction work will be
assigned to non-white
contractors.
The remaining $216,000 will
go annually toward having its
lessor or cars and trucks
purchase an increasing share of
them from non-white firms, for
employment of non-white
physicians, lawyers, beer
distributors, and for
philanthropic donations.

STEVIE WONDER-FUL
Hr ■
Among the more impor
tant reasons to celebrate this
month is “Innervisions,” the
14th and possibly finest al
bum to emanate from Stevie
Wonder, whom many con
sider the single most creative
individual active in the music
world today. Beyond being
Wonder-ful, “Innervisions” is
a sure-fire bet to be on every
body’s Ten Best list for ’73.
It’s been 11 years since
Stevie came into hearing dis
tance with “Fingertips,” and
every single and album since
has signaled progress, musical
exploration and discovery,
the soulful riches of a singu
lar artist. Here, again, Stevie
has written, arranged and
performed all the songs and
produced the album. Truly, a
man and his music.
And, “Innervisions” (Tam
la T326L) is a treasure of
individual songs, such as a
glorious “Golden Lady”; a re
markable ballad, “Visions”;
the telling “Living in the
City”; and the funky “Higher
Ground,” the single release,
which talks about people
moving ahead in love and in
life.
Hail, Stevie Wonder, 22
and aging with a taste that
blesses only the richest vin
tage wines.
NOTE(S)WORTHY
The Motown music factory
has generated another stock
pile of LPleasure in addition
to Stevie, including Diana
Ross’ “Touch Me in the
Morning” album (Motown
M772L). It contains (of
course!) the single by that
title, which raced to Number
1 on the best-seller charts and
Gold Record status as quick
as its beautiful production
could get there—faster than
fast! Diana can do no wrong.
Catch “4 Tops” (Motown
M764D), a two-record collec
tion that keeps together all
the greats associated with this
glorious group (e.g., “Baby, I
Need Your Loving,” “Reach
Out I’ll Be There,” “7 Rooms
of Gloom”), as well as
“Smokey” (Tamla T32BL),
another miracle of a collec
tion by the man who does ev
erything right, Smokey Rob
inson.

solo route exiting the now
dormant Bread, and a debut

“African Genesis” and
“Territorial Imperative”.
Written for the screen by

of Count Dracula in the color,
wide-screen film produced by
Jack Wiener and directed by
Clive Donne, from an original
screenplay by Jeremy Lloyd. A
unique mixture < comedy and
horror, VAMPIRA describes
the hilarious and macabre
adventures of Count Dracula in
present-day London when he
becomes heavily involved with
a string of beautiful girls, as
well as many other off-beat
characters.
YOUNG AND TALENTED
Otis Young, who stars as a
Petty Officer in the U.S. Navy
with Jack Nicholson in THE
LAST DETAIL, an Acrobat
Film produced by Gerald
Ayres for Columbia Pictures
release, says he enjoyed his five
years in the U.S. Marine Corps,
despite obvious racial obstacles
during that time. Otis joined
the Marines at the tender age
of 16. “There were not many
Blacks in the Marines in those
days and they told me I was
acceptable but would have to
be a steward’s mate,” he
recalled. “When I found out
what that was about, I said no.
Then they got me to take their
entrance test. Well, I got 97
out of 100 questions right and
that gave the Marines a
problem.” Finally, he said,
“they sent for me at 7:00 a.m.
a month later and I was made a
rifleman. I was the first Black
marine to go through the Parris
Island boot camp. Up to then,
all Blacks had their own special
camp at Montfort Point.”
‘WAY WE WERE’ UNITES,
REUNITES

subsequent marriage of two
people with totally different
life styles and philosophies
Sans the late 1930 s through
e early 19505. Based on the
best-selling novel by Arthur

producer Ray Stark with Miss
Streisand, who has starred for
him and Columbia Pictures in
“Funny Girl”, his first film (for
which she won an Oscar as Best
Actress), and “The Owl and
the Pussycat”. Redford is one
of the world’s most sought-after
actors, starring in several plays
on Broadway and re-creating
his starring role in “Barefoot in
the Park” for movies. He has
starred in “Butch Cassidy and
the Sundance Kid” with Paul
Newman and, among others, in

the noted late editor and
publisher of The Atlanta
Constitution, for helping him
launch his acting career. “Mr.
McGill contacted a number of
key people,” he said, “helping
to open the door for acting
apprenticeship training and
part time employment as
well.” Shorte, who wields the
assassin’s gun in shooting a
gangland chief beneath the
statue of Christopher
Columbus ( a scene startingly
reminiscent of a rally in New
York City’s immediate past),
has been described as a Sidney
Poitier look-alike, but prefers
to make it on his own
credentials. “I would still
rather be me,” he says.

INTRODUCING
NEWS IN
THE MOTHER
TONGUE
For Black people, the mother tongue is the
same all over the country. It’s the unique
way we have of expressing ourselves.
That’s one of the reasons the National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It’s simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people.
That’s the National Black Network—a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere.
It’s a bet that when you listen to an NBN
station, you’ll know where it’s coming from.
After all, it’s carrying your news.
