prepared us for what we were
to see and hear duringonr
week’s study mission. Even the
foretaste given us by the
leaders of our delegation, Mr.
and Mrs. William O. Walker of
the Cleveland Call and Post,
somewhat shortchanged our
expectations.
Along with the Walkers
came: Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.
Belle, San Francisco Sun

L. Hicks, New York
Amsterdam News; Dr. and Mrs.
Alfred L. Morris, Philadelphia

Amalgamated Publishers, Inc.,
and the Chicago Daily

As guests of the Republic of
China, we were met at the
handsome airport here by the
gracious K. K. Li and K. Y.
Hsia, representing President
Yen Chia-kan and Premier
Chiang Ching-kuo, whom we
later visited in their offices to
give some of our impressions of
the country and to ask any
questions we wished.
We were housed at the
elegant Grand Hotel, one of the
most beautiful in the world,
standing like a giant pagoda,
overlooking this attractive,
modern city. Already, we had

NAACP charges Koch
trimming sails on racism
NEW YORK - The heated
controversy over the racial
assignment of teachers in the
New York school system
continued to boil this week as
the NAACP accused mayoral
candidate Edward I. Koch of
trimming “his civil rights sails”
now that the segregation issue
has moved to the city.
New York’s Black elected
officials also joined the fray on
the side of the NAACP. On
Thursday, the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
stepped up its pressure on the
city by charging that New
York maintained thousands of
illegally segregated classrooms
within schools that were also
attended by whites. School
authorities were ordered to
submit a desegregation plan
within 45 days.
Last week, Gloster B.
Current, deputy to the
executive director, accused
Koch of making demagogic
denunciations of a racial
teacher assignment plan that
HEW had ordered the city to
implement. This plan was
bitterly denounced by U.S.
Sen. Daniel Patrick Monyihan
and in less strident tones by
Koch.
Koch, who is running as the
official Democratic candidate
for mayor, had won the
endorsement of several Black

from hand launderies and chop
suey carry-outs.
But our eyes were really
opened by the amazing
overview of the country given
us by Director-General Ding
and Puerto Rican politicians
after his victory in the
September primary.
The solution proposed by
Koch, Current told the
candidate, is “unsatisfactory
and offers no solution to
long-standing racial
discrimination” in the New
York school syatem.
Continuing, Current, said: “To
assert that hiring on merits will
increase the minority
representation is to imply that
hiring with goals, and in
compliance with prescribed
remedies, will not result in
hiring on merit. Such is
illogical and is just not so. All
teachers are hired only after
taking merit examinations and
passing licensing
examinations.” Thus, he said,
tire effort to institute
assignment goals, “at present,
is merely a color conscious
remedy to undo past illegal
color conscious assignments
undertaken by the Board.”

Koch responded to Cunent
that he had been “intemperate
in your references to me.” He
said that it had been his
position that there is
discrimination in the New
York school system, and “it
must be rooted out.” However,
he reiterated his opposition to
“the use of quotas in any form,
or preferential treatment on
the basis of race.”
David N. Dinkins, chairman
of the Council of Black Elected
Democrats, said that his group
was “deeply torubled” by
Koch’s opposition to the
teacher assignment plan. He
noted that “injustice was
inherent” in the New York
school syatem.
While the city had a 67 per
cent minority enrollment, he
said, only 13 per cent of the
teachers were minority.
Furthermore, “in all
likelihood”, this figure was
even less than 10 per cent
because of recent layoffs of
teachers..

Blacks and the energy crisis
first of a 3-part series
By MARK HYMAN
Mark Hyman Associates, Inc.
Editors note: A recent
national survey conducted by
Mark Hyman Associates, a
Black public relations and
advertising firm, showed that
Blacks and the poor do not
really see the energy crisis in its
critical context.
At the outset, we should
define energy from the
standpoint of the survey:
Energy is the power in home
lighting, heating, cooking,
refrigeration, freezing, cooling,
twlevision and radio reception.
Electricity is the energy which
powers the trolley and trains
which take workers to their
jobs. It works the machines,
the tools, the elevators, the
assembly line belts, the
computers and typewriters;
even the coffee and soda
machines. Oil, gas and coal
perform basic heating
functions.
There has been no time in
America for Blacks when
employment was not a critical
issue; with the exception of
wartime. Today, with
America's trillion-dollar
economy, with government
spending at an all-time high,
the Black community is in a
state of depression with youth
employment at an astounding
40%.
What has this to do with
energy? Plenty.
There are powerful forces in
this country, with heavy
financial backing which want
the increasingly required
amount of energy production
reduced. They want to stop the
building of electric and nuclear
plants; plants which could
easily supply the energy for the
present and for the progressive
future. They claim a stoppage
would stabalize the economy;
that the country is over
producing.
Amid this din, the Blacks
and the poor must not be
fooled in the least. If the
skyrocketing demand for
energy is reduced, then
industry stops growing and
expanding. Jobs diminish. The
old last hired and first fired
comes back into play. In other
words, disaster for Blacks.
Some factions of the
anti-nuclear and anti-energy
converted the island of Fomosa
from a backward bombed-out
colony of Japan during the
previous half-century into a
growing industrial nation with
practically no unemployment
forces claim a deep love for the
environment; that new plants
are dangerous and their
building and operations will
harm the environment.
Protecting the environment can
well be the position of the
white middle and upper classes.
Their cash and property
reserves can cushion them
against economic statemate.
But for the Blacks and the
poor the environment would
have to take a second spot to
critical unemployment which
would become even more
critical. Blacks cannot stand a
no-growth position. As bad as
things already are, national
growth is the only chance for
Black growth and survival.
President Carter has offered
the solution of energy
conservation. But what is really
needed is additional sources of
Book documents impact
of Black vote in 1976
WASHINGTON, D C.-- The
Joint Center for Political
Studies has published the
authoritative reference source
on the impact of the Black
vote in the 1976 general
elections. The new book
entitled, THE BLACK VOTE:
ELECTION ’76, documents
the influence that the Black
vote had on the presidential
race and selected congressional
and gubernatorial elections.
In announcing the
publication of THE BLACK
VOTE: ELECTION ’76, Joint
Center President Eddie N.
Williams says, “Our study
shows clearly how important
the Black vote was in last
November’s elections. There
can be no doubt that the Black
vote can play a significant role
in the election of our officials,
nationally or on a state level.
We are beginning to realize our
potential and how it can be put
to use for our betterment.”
The sample areas used in the
JCPS study included 1,059
precincts or wards. The
population of each of these
units was close to 90 percent
Black. The voting behavior of
1.4-million Blacks, 23 percent
of those who registered, was
examined by analyzing actual
votes cast.
Black voter participation in
the presidential race was
monitored in 23 of the 50
states. President Carter
garnered an estimated
5.2-million Black votes, or 90
percent of the Black votes cast.
This estimate of the Black vote
for Carter was more than three
times his popular vote margin
of 1.7-million. In the North,
88.5 percent of the Black vote
went to Carter while in the
South he received 92.4
percent.
On the whole, Black voter
turnout for the presidential
election was 64.1 percent. In
the South, the Black turnout
rate changed from 48 percent
among its 16,500,000
hard-working people,
compressed into an area less
than a third the size of my

in Texas to 76 percent in
Virginia. In the North, the
range was 55 percent in
Michigan to 85 percent in
Wisconsin.
Although Texas had the
lowest Black voter turnout
rate, a higher proportion of
Blacks voted gor Carter in
Texas than in any other state
in the Union - 96.8 percent.
Blacks in Carter’s native
Georgia gave him 96.3 percent
of their votes. The lowest
support for Carter was
recorded in Kentucky and
Ohio with 80 percent.
In Wisconsin, the state with
the highest Black voter
turnout, Carter won 93.4 per
cent of all Black votes cast.
The effect of the Black vote
is seen most dramatically in
terms of its impact on electoral
votes. Based on the Joint
Center’s sample areas, the
Black vote proved to be the
margin of Carter’s narrow
victory in 13 states: Alabama;
Florida; Louisiana; Maryland;
Mississippi; Missouri; New
York; North Carolina; Ohio;
Pennsylvania; South Carolina;
Texas and Wisconsin. The
combined electoral vote in the
above 13 states was 216 - only
54 short of the 270 elector®
vote needed for victory.
THE BLACK VOTE:
ELECTION ‘76 also examines:
* the results in five of the 14
gubernatorial elections. In
Missouri, Black voters provided
the margin of victory for the
winning gubernatorial
candidate. In Arkansas and
North Carolina, Black voters
gave the winning gubernatorial
candidate more than 90 per
cent of their votes.
* the results in 15 of the 33
senatorial elections. Black
voters in nine states supported
contested winners with at least
