Squeaking Wheel

Nirginians stop accepting defeat on
Interstate 81 and begin a serious we'll

highway (trom Southwest Virginia and

Editor Andrews points out that the
great Southwest area of 10 counties be-
yond Roanoke is entitled to a decent
connection with the State Capitol and
with the States largest city" Norfolk
We might add that Southside Virginia
is entitled to eaSt-West divided high

on highway appropriations to bring it

Letters ToEdito'
Rights Cannot
Be Voted Away
Editor of Herald:

Editor of Herald:
In Cambridge, Maryland they
voted recently on whether or not
to amend the city charter to de-
segregate lunch counters and
re $ t auran is. The proposed
amendment was defeated. So the
eating places will not be forced
to desegregate by "law'.
In my opinion the governing
body Of the city of Cambridge
had no legal or moral right to
hold public election on whether
or not the operators of lunch
counters and restaurants should
have the privilege Of selecting
their customers. That privilege
Of selection of customers already
belonged to the operators. It was
guaranteed under the U. S. Con-
stitution- The election was aim
ed by its do-good sponsors di-
rectly at destroying restaurant
operators right to freedom Of
choice of customers.
This assumption Of power by
local government. an act of
socialism, happened in the 50
called free" state of Mary
land. Let us hope that no local
ity in Virginia will stoop 50 low
as to try to invalidate a citi-
zens freedom OF choice Of custo-
merS.

The Allen-Scott Report
Former Senate Friends Of Foreign Aid Bills
Now Set to Slash Program Further Than House

appears to be going down a rat
hole. The situation there be-
comes more confused all the
time. When Assistant Defense
Secretary arthur Sylves-
ter was out there q few weeks
ago, he seemed to be devoting
most of his time to managing
the news. He was giving out
glowing reports before there
were any reports to give out"
BREAKING THE BAD NEWS
- In the end, the Foreign Re-
lations Committee decided on
two steps:
CD Fulbright was instructed to
send a complete transcript of
the highly critical discussion to
Foreign Aid Director David
Bel. Morse wanted the tran
script sent to the President d.
rect. Fulbright pointed out this
would be an imposition on the
President as he is extremely
busy and proposed instead tie
transcript go to Bell with the
understanding he would give the
President summary of its con-
tents.
q, That before the committee
votes on the holly embattled
legislation it consider the various
reports made by the General
Accounting Office on waste, mis-
management and corruption in
the foreign aid program. Morse
demanded this and it wa S
agreed on Over the years, the
GAO has made a number Of
such reports. and Morse insisted
they be weighed by the commit
tee before acting on the bill.
Meanwhile on the House side,
Representative Otto Passman,
Ola, chairman of the Appro-
Ipri tions Subcommittee in
charge of the money measure
for foreign aid. is set to slash it
to a record low Of $2.4 billion.
A longtime foe of large-scale
foreign aid spending. Passman
has completed closed-door hear
ings on the legislation and is
prepared to report it out as soon
as the authorization measure
! pending in the Senate is en-
acted. That is not likely until Ia
ter this month.
Passman claims to have the
votes in his subcommittee for
$24 billion foreign aid budget.
It remains to be seen whether
he can make good on that.

Each Of these community service or
CARNATIONS is worthy of community
support
In giving to the Community Fund one
knows that the charities are carefully
screened, that local people handle the
money, and that the various charities
are given their carefully allocated
shares of the funds for the various
purposes.
1t is practically impossible for busy
business men or women to decide the
merits of the several individual charity
needs. And most of us can remember the
time when we were assailed by many
different campaigns each year. The
Community Fund rolls all Of the COM
munity service organizations needs in
to one and asks the community to give
their support in one drive
There are many demands for sup
port - the Community Fund is one or

training project, financially un-

in the New York area, and joint

young women are taking spec

course in shorthand, typing, basic

Guest roster of the 1868 EOD
event read like a who's who"
of leadership in industry; feder-
al. state and local government;
labor private and voluntary a
gencies, and hundreds of indiv-
uals whose concerns in the cause
of better race relations parallel
those of the Urban League.

They are II. l. Romnes, presi-

man, international Business Ma
chimes Corporation, and A. Philip
Randolph, president. Internatio-

Car Porters and a vice president

honcrees.
The annual awards are confer
red by the League in recognition
of long and continuing contri-
button of effort and leadership
by the recipients to the precepts
of equal opportunity for all A
mericans.
In a:ceCting the award, Mr..
Romnes said:
Equal employment opportun-
ity and equal educational opport.
unity are insperarable. No COM
pany is an island, It's fortunes
are bound up with the commun-
ity around il, and from which it
draws its people. Businessmen
at the community level must
join with their fellow citizens in
finding ways TO level the bar
riers TO opportunity barriers
which, if they deny the legit-
innate aspirations of some of the
community's citizens will. in the
long run, deny to all their full
lest potential for growth and
progress"

Mr.. Young, in his address, said:
THE Negro citizen is in double
jeopardy. He is in a pincers
squeeze between the jaws of two
evils. On the one side--through
discrimination his normal ad.
vancement over the years does
not permit him to catch up with
his white fellow Americans. On
the other - through lack of ed.
ucation and training - automa-
ton and the mechanization of
industry affect him adversely and
disproportionately. AS automation
