Black leaders pushing Mr. Carter
to end Black unemployment crisis
NEW YORK - Clarence
Mitchell warned that Blacks
were not going “to stand for
any full-scale cut” in the
recommendations to the
President by the
Administration’s urban team
on ways to end the Black
unemployment crisis.
Reporting on the meeting
that he and about 15 other
Black leaders had with Mr.
Carter on Dec. 14, Mr. Mitchell
said that the President
expressed his full support for
reducing Black unemployment,
especially among youths.
“However, he did not give a
specific figure on how much he
planned to include in the
national budget to accomplish
this purpose.”
Mr. Mitchell's meeting with
the President helped to further
underscore the critical
importance that the NAACP
has placed on the Black
unemployment problem. On
Sept. 27, Executive Director
Benjamin L. Hooks led an
NAACP delegation in another
meeting with Mr. Carter.
Accompanying Mr. Hooks were
Mrs. Margaret Bush Wilson,
Why Egyptians are hacking Sadat
By David Dußois
Pacific News Service
CAIRO - The overwhelming
public approval throughout
Egypt that has greeted
President Anwar Sadat’s
dramatic peace initiative
clearly signals the recognition
here that peace is possible
because it is necessary.
Egyptians neither desire nor
are able to maintain, alone, the
state of belligerency with Israel
that has drained the country of
both resources and will and left
in its wake the most appalling
economic and social
conditions.
Egyptians have concluded,
in public demonstrations and
in private conversations, that
they have no alternative. They
must continually back away
from their previously held
hardline positions of principle
if they are to obtain any
measure of security that
permits meat in the diet more
than once a month.
Any criticism or
questioning of President
Sadat’s visit here is
immediately met with: “Look,
we’ve had enough! The
country is bankrupt; our social
chairman of the NAACP
National Board of Directors,
Dr. Montague Cobb, president;
Jesse Turner, treasurer; Max
Delson and William Oliver,
vice-presidents.
The key concerns on their
agenda were jobs for Black
workers and the urban crisis.
Mr. Mitchell said that Mr.
Carter promised to give “his
full support” to the
compromise Humphrey-Haw
kins full employment bill. The
NAACP has endorsed this
compromise, recognizing that
Mr. Carter in supporting it, has
also endorsed the full
employment concept. This the
President had previously
hesitated to do, expressing that
the full employment concept
would worsen the problem of
inflation.
Mr. Mitchell said that Mr.
Carter also stressed his
intention to cut taxes. He said
that the cuts would be
designed to help increase
spending, and this should add
to improving the economy, Mr.
Mitchell reported.
A veteran lobbyist, Mr.
Mitchell signalled a change in
services are deteriorating; our
people are starving. Now we’ll
get food, investments and
dollars from the U.S. Carter
will pressure Israel to act
reasonably and peace will be
restored in tbe area. That’s all
President Sadat wants, and it’s
what every Egyptian wants!”
Egyptians find it difficult to
believe that Israel and Egypt,
as well as all the other parties
to the Middle East affair,
cannot in effect “kiss and
make up.” After all, this is how
the vast majority of quarrels
and fights between Egyptians
end, publicly and with the
noisy assistance of all
passersby.
The party to make the first
genuine gesture towards
reconciliation is considered by
tradition the better man, the
most honorable among men.
This is at the moment how
Sadat is seen by his desperate
and exhausted people, despite
the layers of cynicism that
have accumulated over the
7,000 years tire people of the
Nile Valley have fought the
battle for survival here.
The desperation is almost
palpable. Egypt’s . fledgling
peacetime industries have all

focus from Mr. Carter to
Congress when he said that “I
don’t believe we ought to make
the President the sole target of
what needs to be done” to get
the full employment bill
enacted. Blacks should take
their case to Congress if the
President’s funding proposals
are considered inadequate.
Other issues that were
discussed included urban
policy and affirmative action.
The meeting was attended by
16 leaders of Black
organizations and lasted for
nearly three hours.

with the President were:

suffered and some have closed
down to make way for more
and more military and
military-related industries. Its
agriculture is suffering
stagnation from lack of
mechanization, mismanage
ment and neglect bom of
preoccupation with defense. Its
public services are disappearing
at an alarming rate while its
large pool of trained
professionals, skilled and
semi-skilled workers are
deserting to the fiercely sought
jobs in the oil-rich Arab
nations.
Massive financial assistance
is needed, both from the Arab
world and the U.S. But while
Saudi Arabia has provided
some S 3 billion in various
forms of aid, nothing
approaching that figure is even
conceivable from the U.S.
under the present conditions.
A genuine peace is the key to
the kind of aid and investment
needed now. Even a “separate
peace,” a non-belligerency pact
between Israel and Egypt, will
not suffice.
Thus, the problem of the
Palestinians remains the central
problem, the stumbling block
to an all-inclusive peace. This,

together with the Soviet
Union’s possible re-entry into
the region on the side of the
rejectionist states - Syria, Iraq,
Libya and Algeria - have raised
fears here of an Egyptian-Arab
military conflict. To some
Cairo observers, the most
dangerous by-products of the
past few weeks' developments
have been the upsurge of
anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian
feelings among the Egyptian
people.
There is a deep-seated
resentment among Egyptians
(who have never been happy
with the ‘Arab’ designation)
over the very real sacrifices
Egypt has made in the name of
the Arab cause, without relief,
over the past 30 years.
Consequently, the attacks
leveled at President Sadat’s
peace initiative by those Arab
states only marginally involved
in the hardships of four wars
have fallen on deaf ears here.
Deeply suspicious of Soviet
objectives in the Middle East,
these observers fear an
aggressive intensification by
the USSR of the rivalry with
the U.S. in the region.
This with the intensification
of what some interpret as UJS.
support for Egypt’s anti-Arab
nationalism, could threaten
serous Egyptian-Arab
confrontations in the near
future. Such confrontations, it
is feared, could only turn the
Middle East into a testing
ground for rival U.S. - Soviet
arms, with the region’s rich oil
and dollar reserves, its
potential markets and
influence as the prize.

it isn’t” and the County
attorney should be “able to
render an opinion based on
what the law is rather than
what group has withdrawn its
support of the ordinance.”
The group Ruffin alluded to
was the Greater Augusta
Chamber of Commerce’s
Manufacturing Council which
last week withdrew its support
of the ordinance because it
provides criminal penalties for
violation of the provisions
contained in the ordinance.
Daniel told the News-Review
his only consideration was a
legal one. “I had legal
reservations about the
ordinance when the
Manufacturers Council was
supporting it,” he said.
Tiller said he didn’t think
Daniel was getting involved
politically. “It was just a legal
thing with him; 1 didn’t take
that as ‘political advice,’ he
said.
“We are a political body and
I don’t see anything dirty
about politics.”
“I wonder how John
(Ruffin) got involved. It seems
like some outside politics is
involved.”
