Blacks fight to save jobs
for black shipbuilders
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. -
Mrs. Jessie M. Rattley, a
member of the local city
council and vice president of
the National League of Cities,
is fighting to save shipbuilding
jobs here for fellow blacks as
well as whites.
Local shipyard workers of
which 39 percent are black
face loss of jobs with the
Administration-backed
proposal that four aircraft
carriers be rebuilt in the
government-owned
Philadelphia Navy yard, rather
than here at the
privately-owned shipbuilding
facility.

become president of the

Wright.
National League of cities next
November, argues that if the
carriers are not rebuilt here,
some 2,600 local employes will
go jobless and the
unemployment rate would rise
to 7.4 percent.
Considering the other
employment opportunities that
would not develop as a result
of the shipyard loss, the black
official says that total black
unemployment in the area
would jump from 10.5 percent
to 13.5 percent.
She argues further that there
are some 15,000 men and
women here who are trained in
shipbuilding and are ready to
begin work on the carriers.

Howard professor
escapes death
in Uganda
KAMPALA, Uganda -
Lawrence A Still, associate
professor of journalism at
Howard University in
Washington, D.C. who is on a
Fulbright fellowship in Kenya,
narrowly missed being turned
over to a remnant of Amin's
army recently as he headed
into this country on the
Nairobi-Kempala Express.
Four European newsmen
were not so lucky and are
reported to have been killed.
Uniformed police and special
intelligence agents at nearby
Jinja, Amin’s last headquarters
in the country, declined to
turn Still over to Amin forces
and, instead, sent him back to
Malabe on the border.
“We don’t want Amin’s men
to get you, or we’ll never see
you again,” special agent John
Wangera told Still. “We are not
putting you out of the
country, but we advise you to

Alumni Day at Fort Valley

proceed to Kampala in a few
days when the situation may
be different.” Still arrived here
Monday.
At Malabe, Still observed a
sure sign of Amin’s defeat. The
Uganda currency dropped to a
10th of its value. Money
changers were offering 1,000
Uganda shillings for a 100
Kenya shilling note.
One big question in Nairobi
was why former Uganda
President Milton Obote, who
was over thrown by Amin in
1971, is not included in the
new Uganda government,
although he started the
invasion against Idi.
The new provisional
government of Uganda is
headed by Yusufu Lule, former
vice chancellor of Makere
University here in Kampala.
And at least five members of
the goernment are former
faculty members of Makere.
