Ship capt. charged with slavery
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - The
Yugoslav captain of a Liberian
registered freighter was accused
Saturday of keeping Black
stowaways who had tried to escape
shortly before the ship docked in
chains.
Capt. Anton Predivoj of the
African Mariner was detained
Friday after police found two
Black men “bound in chains in a
tiny, suffering from hunger and
fatigue,” federal police spokesman
Arthur Carbone said.
The captain, whose ship had
sailed from Lagos, Nigeria, was
charged with mistreating the two

men, both citizens of Ghana, Car
bone said.
Police boarded the ship Friday
after longshoremen reported
seeing the two men “bound hand
and foot by chains like a scene
from the colonial slave trade,” he
said.
Four other Black stowaways, all
with Ghanian passports, had been
found Aug. 17 on board the ship
while it was making a call in the
Brazilian port of Santos, Carbone
said. The four were released and
flown back to Ghana.
Horst Eller, a spokesman for
Nigeria-America Lines, which
owns the ship, said “The six
stowaways were found on board
soon after the ship left Lagos,
Nigeria. They were permitted
complete freedom on board.
However, soon before landing in
Santos they attempted to escape
and were locked up by the cap
tain.”
He said the company intended to
keep the t ;wo stowaways found in
Rio on board for a return trip to
Africa.
However, police apparently
were not aware the four may have
been mistreated or that tow others
were still on board until the ship
reached Rio.
Carbone said the two Black
stowaways found in Rio were “dirty,
hungry and suffered from sores.”

NAACP
site?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The
NAACP National Board of Directors
at its quarterly meeting held here at
the Raddisson Hotel last week acted
on several major issues with the
reaching of an agreement with the
Food Lion Corp, as a highlight of the
three-day session.
The board also approved the
continued search for permanent
headquarters for the association.
The search had been confined to the
New York City area but the board
voted to have the search extended to
areas beyond New York. It was
suggested that the organization find
a site that is centrally located so that
it would be accessible to members
from all parts of the country.
One member recommended that
the Midwest would be preferable
and it was suggested that Detroit
should be considered as a possibility
for the site. Detroit had previously
been considered but on recom
mendation of staff the selection was
dropped in preference to the
national headquarters remaining in
the New York area.
Benjamin Hooks, executive
director of the association, at a
meeting held at Mt. Moriah Baptist
Church on Saturday, announced the
agreement with Food Lion that
promised better job and economic
opportunities for Blacks.
Recent attempts to obtain
property have been stymied because
of the increasingly high cost or real
estate and necessary maintenance.
Because of this the board voted that
the search be extended to other
areas in the country.
Several operations of the
NAACP have already been located
in the Detroit area.

questioned bow the court
could“so easily concede the
existence of a constitutional
violation for which there is no
remedy”.
To do so is to convert a Bill of
Rights into an unenforced honor
code... The Constitution requires
more. It requires a remedy.”
He said the remedies offered in
those cases were“almost
meaningless.”
Decisions that (do not offer a
remedy) will erode the faith in the
law of those who rely on the law’s
protection,” he said. “Where no
remedy is offered or where the
only ones offered can accomplish
little, those who need the protec
tion will have reason to turn away
