Your Christmas Seal Money

Before you rush off to purchase
Christmas Seals, you might pon-
der this inside-the-Washington-
Beltway update. Several months
ago, I reported on a Capital Re-
search Center study about the
agenda and high living style of
America’s most prominent health
charities, the American Lung As-
sociation (ALA), American Cancer
Society (ACS), and American
Heart Association (AHA). the
study’s author, George Mason
University Economics Professor
James Bennett, concluded that
these non-profit groups had mis-
represented themselves to the
American people by claiming that
health research was a major part
of their mission. The ALA spent a
paltry 4 percent of its budget on
research; the ACS and AHA spent
26 percent and 30 percent respec-
tively. Prof. Bennett says they
appeared to be more concerned
with fundraising, lobbying, asset
accumulation, and high executive
salaries and perks.

When the Captial Research
Center (CRC) study, “Health Re-
search Charities: Image and Re-
ality,” hit the streets, the health
charities issued press releases in
an attempt to denounce it, and
Congress weighed in on the attack.
Benjamin Cohen, legislative aide
to Rep. Thomas Luken, D-Ohio,
tried to intimidate CRC President
Willa Johnson didn’t cringe. In
fact, I, also, received several terse
letters from the health charity
establishments condemning the
study and yours truly for reporting
on it.

The Capital Research Center
marches on. It has just released a
follow-up by Bennett, focusing on
the American Lung Association,
the Christmas Seal people, who
are probably already soliciting your
donation. The update, “Christmas
Seals: What Are Donors Buying”,
complied from ALA tax returns,
supports the conclusions of the
earlier study.

IRS Schedule A Form 990 asks,

J

By Walter E. Williams

“During the year, have you at-
tempted to influence national,
state, or local legislation. . .?” The
ALA checked “Yes.” They reported
$11,100 was spent on such activi-
ties. But somethingis funny. ALA’s
second highest paid employee,
earning over $91,000, reports 100
percent of his time as ALA’s direc-
tor of government relations, afancy
name fore lobbyist. In a personal
letter to Bennett, he said 30 percent
of his time is spent lobbying. Thirty
percent of his salary is $30,00, not
$11,100 as reported to the IRS.
That discrepancy is peanuts in
ALA’s attempts to conceal its lob-
bying. IRS Schedule A also asks,
“Is the organization related
through common membership,
governing bodies, trustees, officers,
etc., to any other exempt or
nonexempt organization?” The
ALA responded, “No.” However,

the Coalition on Smoking and
Health and Tobacco-Free America
do considerable lobbying. Bennett

reports that those two organiza-
tions are not separate entities
which obtain their own funding.
They are financed entirely by
health charities such as the
American Lung Association.
Bennett asks, “should not the
ALA’s contributions (to these
groups), therefore be reported to
the IRS?”

Prof. Bennett’s uncovering of the
ALA’s IRS deception, in its efforts

to conceal it political activity, i of
trivial consequences. The larger
issue is ALA’s deception of gener-
ous Americans who fork over their
hard earnings as contributions to
ALA’s general funding and its
Christmas seal drive. Here’s their
agenda: Health charities, like the
ALA, ACS, AHA, take your dona-
tions. Much of it goes to fund their
political efforts to get Congress to

tax us more to underwrite in-
creased federal spendingon health.
Then they use a large portion of
the rest of our donations for fat
salaries, perks, and to buy office
buildings, stocks, and bonds. This
is a disgrace and insult to Ameri-
can generosity. (“Christmas Seals:

patterns. In the 32nd A.D. Ijumped
from 503 votes in 1986 to 970 votes
in 1990, nearly a 100% gain.
Cuomo’s vote was down by 15%. In
the 33rd A.D. my vote showed
another 100% increase, while
Cuomo dropped by 10%. My over-
all Queens vote put me up 200%
above my 1986 run, while Cuomo
lost 25% in his home borough.

These numbers are serious; they
indicate that the Africa American
electorate is moving — very pos-
sibly on a collision course with the
two-party political monopoly that
either openly represents interests
antagonistic to ours (the republi-
can Party) or pretends to represent
us while ignoring our agenda and
insulting our leaders (the Demo-
crats).

The endorsement of my inde-
pendent gubernatorial campaign
by the Reverend Al Sharpton and
Minister Louis Farrakhan helped
clear the way for a future mass
exodus by Black voters from the
Democratic Party. The support of
these independent Black leaders
for my campaign also reflected
their own analysis, which is that
our people are becoming increas-
ingly fed up with democratic party
racism and that they had to point
the way to a new direction.

Fulani alliance in the New York
campaign clearly attracted sub-
stantial numbers of votés to the
Black-led, multi-racial, “people
instead of profits” New Alliance
party campaign. Our condemna-
tion of Cuomo and his brand of
liberal racism no doubt also dis-
couraged many Black voters from
participating in the election at all.
It is likely that the 6% drop in the
Black vote which went to Cuomo
and the drop of 11% in his share of
the overall vote — not to mention
the record low turnout at the polls
— is due largely to black disillu-
sionment with Democratic party
politics-as-usual. And that senti-
ment was no doubt strengthened
by the explicit turning away of
America’s most significant Black
leaders from the Democratic Party
as well as by evolving support for

Black-led independent politics.

These developments in New
York were repeated in the crucial
states of Illinois, where the ques-
tion of Black-led independent
politics preoccupied Black political
leaders (and where the Black vote
cost the Democrats the guberna-
torial election), and California,
where the independent Peace and
Freedom party (which retained its
permanent ballot status) is being
given new life by the state’s Black
and Chicano voters.

person of the New Alliance Party

If North Carolinians

hoped for 6 more years
of Jesse Helms, they got
what they wanted

Tuesday night.

Republican incumbent Sen.
Jesse Helms easily defeated
Democrat Harvey Gantt in an
unpredictable race Tuesday.
Voter turnout for this election
broke state records, reported
the Orange County Board of
Elections.

In this morning’s ballot to-
tals, with 88 percent of the
precincts reporting, Helms led
54 percent to Gantt’s 46 per-
cent. The unofficial total gives
Helms 893,882 votes to 776,339
in favor of Gantt.

Helms received 65 percent
of the white vote, and 7 percent
of the black vote, exit polls
show.

The three-term incumbent
victory at 11:35 p.m. in the
Brownestone Hotel is Raleigh.
“Liberal politicians and editors
and commentators and col-
umnists have struck out
again,” Helms said.

Republican faithfuls listened
to Helms attack “liberals” in
his victory speech. “If liberal
politicians think I was a thorn
in their side in the past, now
they are really going to see
something,” Helms said.

Gantt won decisively over
Helms in Orange County, as
expected. He received 26,697
votes, or 71 percent,to helms
10,752 votes, or 29 percent.
The precinct that supported
Gantt the most was Owasa;
Caldwell supported him the
least.

Despite the small battle won
in Orange County, Gantt lost
the major war in North Caro-
lina. Gantt, former mayor of
Charlotte, was vying to be the
first black Democrat elected to
the U.S. Senate.

At the Hilton North Raleigh
Convention Center, Gantt gave
his concession speech to a large
crowd of supporters at 11:50
p.m. He told them that the
problems this state faces are
worth standing up for.

“Istill think that we strive to
move life to a higher plane, to
continue to be positive,” Gantt
said. “I want you to know
Harvey Gantt’s going to be
positive.”

Negative campaigning was
prevalent in this election. Ac-
cording to Susan Jetton,
Gannt’s press secretary, the
negative ads probably dam-
aged Gantt’s image more than
Helm’s.

“I didn’t think so many North
Carolinians would be fright-
ened by the negative nasty ads
and distortions and smears
that were run,” said Jetton, “I
was surprised.”

U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, 69,
resides in Raleigh. This victory
makes hima four-term senator.

Arsenio Hall sues his manager

Arsenio Hall has dumped his
manager and alleged partner Bob
Wachs. Hall maintained Bob
Wachs and his partner. Mark
Lipeky were eating more than
‘their fair share. Wachs, who also
discovered and still manages
Eddie Murphy, is sueing Hall for
25 million big ones! Wachs who
filed papers in Los Angeles Supe-
rior Court, maintained that he

and his partner were responsible |f*'9
for “making. Arsenio Hall a |”

wealthy man.” Heclaimedhe was
terminated in August of this year.
According to Wachs, Para-

mount Pictures, who grabbed up:

the Arsenio Hall Show while Fox
Network was dragging its feet,
paid Hall a flat fee of $2 million,
plus $500,000 a year to serve as
executive producer of his own
show. In addition, Hall gets a
portion of the show's profits.
Hall was astand-up comedian

who opened for many headliners

and played the comedy circuit
traveling by bus from gig to gig.
He wasa friend of Eddie Murphy
and eventually joined Eddie
Murphy Productions, which was
managed by Bob Wachs. Through
Eddie Murphy Productions Hall
was selected to stand in for the
Fox late night show which had
bombed out unable to stand up
against Johnny Carson. The last
person to have it was Joan Riv-
ers. The Hall show caused quite
a stir in the industry and there
was great demand to keep it on
the air. But the contract called
for only 13 weeks. Hall took the
loss with grace and charm. The
network replaced his show with
two white guys trying hard to be
funny and innovative but gener-

 

 

 

 

 

ARSENIO HALL

they were. Critics like yours truly
commented on how network
heads could even find the new
show TV worthy?

Anyway, Hall signed with
Paramount and the rest is his-
tory. Hall did two movies with
Eddie Murphy: “Coming To
America” and “Harlem Nights.”
And Paramount has signed Hall
to do his own movie. In fact he
reportedly has a three picture
deal. Plus his talk show is still
riding high with respectable
ratings and just enough contro-
versy, such as the Madonna visit,
to be interesting.

The problem seems to be Hall
is too far along now, and has the
head to manage his own affairs.
He doesn’t see the need to give
Bob Wachs “half” of his earnings,
which is what Wachs reportedly
claims he is due. As a manager

tops. Those old one third and
halfcontracts are no longer valid
and will not stand up in court.
Plus Wachs reportedly does not
have such an agreement in wnit-
ing, he claims Hall made him a
verbal promise.

The question is why would
Wachs expect half of Halls earn-

ings under any circumstances?
He must be living back in the 50s
when managers were ripping off
Black performers with those
kinds of deals. Things have
changed Bob!

Bob Wachs, who hails from
New York was owner of acomedy
club in the City. Eddie Murphy
would céme around asking for a
spot on the bill only to be repeat-
edly denied. Finally Murphy
made such a fuss outside the
club one night that Wachs told
him,”Okay, you think you've got
what it takes, go for it!”

But to Wachs surprise the au-
dience liked Murphy. It was
Wachs who recommended

Murphy for “Saturday Night
Live,” and has been his “handler’/
manager ever since. For Wachs
Murphy isthe goose that laid the
golden egg, and one of those golden
eggs was Arsenio Hall, whom
Murphy brought to Wachs.

In the spirit of Black indepen-
dence many folks have been
critical of the .Wachs-Murphy
relationship, citing Oprah
Winfrey and Bill Cosby as the
only truly independent mega-
stars with Spike Lee and Keenan
Ivory Wayans holding up the
rear. Murpny’s answer to critics
is if it works, don’t fix it. Evi-
dently Arsenio doesn’t share that
sentiment.

Mrs. Belle May Atkinson
(71900-1972) was born in
Greenville, North Carolina to the
Reverend Doctor Joseph May, Sr.
and Mrs. Mamie Donaldson May.
The second oldest of twelve chil-
dren, Mrs. Belle May Atkinson
spent her formative years in a
close-knit, religious family where
her parents taught her to value
good books, education and com-
munity service. Throughout the
twentieth century, while living
as an adult in Greenville, North
Carolina she was to become loved,

“respected, and widely known as
“Miss Belle, The Coloured Li-
brarian.”

Mrs. Belle May Atkinson’s par-
ents held high aspirations for
their children. All of the May
children completed high school
and the May children became
known for their achievements and
accomplishments in higher edu-
cation.

Mrs. Belle May Atkinson’s first
career was that of a Pitt County
teacher. While teaching, she be-

came interest in exposing her
children to a wide range of good
books and literature. But, because
the children’s families’ lacked fi-
nancial resources to purchase

, books and because the children

did not have access to a public
library, they asked Mrs. Belle
May Atkinson could they borrow
books from the Sheppard Memo-
rial Library. The Negro children
could not. Libraries were segre-
gated in those days. Mrs. Belle
May Atkinson promised the
children to try to get them a read-
ing room and some books.

True to her word, Mrs. Belle
May Atkinson advanced an idea
of a “Book Room for Negro Chil-
dren” to friends and others in the
community. Mrs. Belle May
Atkinson first approached Mrs.
Elizabeth Kearney, a wealthy
Negro woman, known for her
philanthropic efforts on behalf of
education and children. Mrs. Belle
May Atkinson also asked assis-
tance from another prosperous
Negro woman, Mrs. Portia Dudley

Jones. These three woman joined
together to form the organiza-
tional beginnings of the public
library services for Negro chil-
dren in the Greenville commu-

nity.

Mrs. Belle May Atkinson, Mrs.
Kearney and Mrs. Jones con-
tacted white women on the board
ofthe Sheppard Memorial Library
to arrange a meeting about the
needs for public library services
for Negro children. A historic
conference was held. The white
women on the board thought Mrs.
Belle May Atkinson, Mrs.
Kearney and Mrs. Jones proposed
a good idea. But, where could a
library be located?

To get the library started, Mrs.
Kearney, who owned a large and
spacious home on Clark Street,
said that she would allow one of
the many rooms in her house to
be used until a permanent “Book
Room” could be found. Mrs. Jones
offered help in collecting reading
materials. Mrs. Belle May
Atkinson volunteered to coordi-
nate this challenging project. Ev-
erybody was pleased. This con-
ference of white women and black
women was a success. A library
service would be developed. Mrs.
Belle May Atkinson’s idea of a
“Book Room for Negro children”
in Greenville was to become a
reality!

In recent interviews with one
of Mrs. Belle May Atkinson’s sis-
ters, Mrs. Mamie G. Garrett who
has a teacher in Pitt County for
about forty-three years, we were
able to ascertain an eyewitness
account about the early develop-
ment of this particular library.

“T recall my sister Belle’s dedi-
cation to establishing a library
for children and adults. It was
after the Great depression in the
late 1930s. resources were lim-
ited. We were a nation and a
southern community trying to
recover from great losses. During
those days, my sister became
known as “Ms. Belle: The
Coloured Librarian” as she toured
the Greenville community dis-
cussing the values of public li-
braries, soliciting materials and
supplies to furnish the book room
at the Kearney House, and en-
couraging everybody to donate
books, magazines, and interests.

Mrs. Belle May Atkinson Founder of

the George Washington Carver Library

She talked to everybody. Rich
white people. Wealthy Negro
community members. White
churches and African-American
churches. Community members.
My sister was an ideal public re-
lations person to advance this
important idea. Ms, Belle, as she
was fondly called, was a gracious
person who always greeted ev-

with abroad and warm
smile. She had a special flair. She
was quite fashion-conscious. Of-
ten she would be seen wearing
furs, beautiful jewelry, and el-
egant clothing - dressing always
in good taste and appropriately
for the occasion. She was a beau-
tiful, well polished, and perfect
lady. Everybody loved Ms. Belle.”

Through the efforts of Mrs.
Belle May Atkinson, various
businesses gave books and maga-
zines to build up the library room.
And, so did the white and black
communities of Greenville. Mrs.
Belle May Atkinson’s original
concept of a public library for
Negro children transformed into
a larger notion of a place of study
and community activities for ev-
erybody.

Yet, another challenge was to
be faced in the early days of the
library. What should the library
be called? Mrs. Belle May
Atkinson likened the develop-
ment of the library to the Negro
challenge of making something
worthy out oflittle things. In this,
Mrs. Belle May Atkinson told how
the works and scientific enter-
prises of the Negro scientist, Dr.
George Washington Carver were
symbolically to their struggle. Dr.
Carver discovered hundred of
valuable products through his
experimentations with the little
peanut. Great things came from
the tiny peanut. Perhaps some
day, from their little “Book Room”
a large complex library might de-
velop, circulating thousands and
thousands of books and literary
materials. With this parallel in
mind, Mrs. Belle May Atkinson
named the new library, The
George Washington Carver Li-
brary.

Shortly thereafter, around the
beginning of the 1940s, more
progress was made, A permanent

' home for theGeorge Washington
Carver Libraxy; was located in
the heart of the Negro Commu-
nity. The tiny committee discov-
ered a three room house, for rent,
owned by a Mr. Nelson Hopkins
who allowed his property to be
used as a library. Thus, a tiny
library was opened for the Negro
citizens of Greenville.

With the concurrence and good
wished of many citizens of
Greenville, Mrs. Belle May
Atkinson was appointed the first
coloured librarian in the city. Ev-
erybody agreed that Mrs. Belle
May Atkinson deserved the posi-
tion. Mrs. Belle Maye Atkinson
was prepared for this great chal-
lenge. Mrs. Belle May Atkinson
was educated at a private school
in Greenville, the Tar River In-
stitute.

She attended Kinston College
in Kinston, North Carolina, Mrs.
Atkinson was trained, too, at
Fayetteville Teachers College.
Through many government spe-
cial programs and workshops,

_ Mrs. Belle May Atkinson acquired
educational skills in library sci-
ence and library administration.

The solidifying of the founda-
tion for this new library took time
and energy. Mrs. Belle May
Atkinson worked endlessly to as-
sure its survival as a worthy com-
munity institution. With a coali-
tion of concerned citizens, com-
posed mainly of black and white
women, she helped to oversee the

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28- DECEMBER 5, 1990-THE"*M’VOICE—7

 

 

By J. ZAMGBA BROWNE
Amsterdam News Staff

The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) continued
this week to come under sharp
criticism over its handling of the
Freedom National Bank affair.

The 600-member Baptist
Ministers Conference of Greater
New York has joined a chorus of
community leaders and
grassroots people in calling for
the agency to reclassify those
social service providers affected
by Freedom's demise as “chari-
table trust.” ,

Also joining the chorus of
criticisms are Rep. Floyd Flake
and State Attorney General
Robert Abrams. They, too, want
the FDIC to spare charities with

funds over $100,000 in the de-

mt

funct Freedom Bank.

The ministers, in a letter to
FDIC Chairman L. William
Seidman, agreed with Abrams
that without access to their
money it would be virtually im-
possible for most of these chari-
table groups to carry out their
humanitarian work.

Abrams also appealed to
Seidman not to treat funds from
these groups as individual ac-
counts but as charitable trusts.
But an FDIC spokesman, David
M. Barr said this was highly
unlikely.

At present, Barr said all de-
positors are being treated equally
and in keeping with FDIC rules.
“It wouldn’t be fair to other cus-
tomers if we were to engage in

 

Barr said.

Hardest hit by the collapse of
Freedom Bank are such chari-
table agencies as Bedford-
Stuyvesant Restoration Corpo-
ration, the Bedford Day Care
Center, Central Brooklyn Coor-
dinating Council and Fort Greene
Senior Citizens Council.

Also singing the blues as a
result of the bank’s closing are
Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker and his
congregation at Canaan Baptist
Church in Harlem. They report-

edly have over $500,000 on de-

posit.

Others include the Harlem-
based Black United Fund, Bridge
Street A.M.E. Church in Brook-
lyn and several Black-owned
groups some of whom had been
doing business with Freedom

mount against F.D.1.C.

National since it was established
in 1964.

The FDIC padlocked the bank
on Nov. 9 due to growing defaults
on bad loans. Many community
residents called the action a
“terrible blow” because Freedom
represented a symbol to them.

As of Tuesday, the FDIC had
issued refunds to some 7,277
depositors totalling $27.6 million,
with Manhattan accounts total-
ling $13 million and 4,516
Brooklyn accounts totalling $14.6
million.

Cong. Flake said he was sur-
prised that when the National
Bank of Washington was on the
verge of closing, the FDIC made
extra efforts to cover $37 million
of foreign deposits in order to
protect the integrity of the
banking system.

“I believe the same efforts
should be made to protect the
accounts at Freedom National,”
said Flake.

He said these funds represent
the honest labors of parishioners
who have limited resources and
accounts for new church build-
ings, schools, or community
projects.

The FDIC said it expects to
complete paying out refunds to
the bank’s 22,000 depositors by
the end of this month or early
December. Those who do not
come to claim their money will
have their funds turned over to
the State for future payments.

Meanwhile, the FDIC an-
nounced this week that those who

 

have safe deposit boxes at the
bank’s headquarters on West
125th Street and its branches in
Brooklyn should come forward
and claim them as quickly as
possible.

Failure to do so, Barr said, the
boxes will be treated as aban-
doned property. They will be
opened to inventory the assets,
he added.

Customers who did not use up
the time of their contract for
rental of the boxes, will be re-
imbursed, said Barr from his of-
fice in Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile, about two blocks
away from Freedom National is
Carver Federal Savings and Loan
Association, another African-
American owned bank. Many in
Harlem feared that Carver will
meet similar fate as its neighbor,
Freedom.

But the bank’s president and
chief executive officer, Richard
T. Green said Tuesday there is
no need to panic. “We operate
our business in a very efficient
and conservative fashion, being
mindful of risk,” said Green.

He said since Carver was es-
tablished in 1949, “we have stuck
to the basics; efficiency of op-
eration, interest in the commu-
nity we serve and dealing with
risk.”

While Green said he was not
familiar with all of the ramifica-
tions involved in the demise of
Freedom National, “I think it is
unfortunate, particularly from
the community standpoint.”

Have a Healthy, creative holiday

Take some fresh Virginia apple,
adda little personal creativity and
you have a simple, inexpensive

solution to your holiday gift-giving

and decorating dilemmas.

Low in calories and higher in
fiber, apples are perfect for the
health conscious or dieting friends
and relatives. Gift ideas can range
from a simple basket of apples to a
more elaborate arrangement filled
with a mixture of Virginia apple
varieties—from the traditional
Red and Golden Delicious to
Stayman, York, and Winesap va-
rieties—and various apple prod-
ucts, from spicy apple butter and
sparkling cider to gleaming apple
jellies and more.

And the apples themselves can
be be decorated to add a beautiful
and fragrant touch to any home,

gift or Christmas tree. Sunny
O'Neil, recognized authority on
Victorian Christmas traditions
and decorations, uses apples in
many of her designs. One personal
favorite is the pomander ball,
fragrant with cloves and cinna-
mon. To make the pomander ball,
insert whole cloves into any apple,
but remember to protect your

thumb with adhesive tape. When
the appleis completely covered (do
it all at once—unfinished
pomanders spoil in a day!), place it
in a paper bag containing three
teaspoonsof ground cinnamon and
shake. When covered with cinna-
mon, place it in a warm dry place.
The pomander should be dry and
ready to give (or keep!) in about
two weeks. After drying, you may
choose to decorate with lace, rib-
bon, faux jewels, etc. Hang the
pomander ball in your kitchen for

a wonderful seasonal aroma of -

apples, cloves and cinnamon.
Libbey Oliver manager of floral

decorations for Colonial

Williamsburg, frequently uses

apples for indoor and outdoor
decorating, combining them with
boxwood, holly berries, pine cones
and boughs, limes and even okra

pods. She advised that apples will -

stay fresh-looking in indoor ar-
rangements for about two week,
depending upon temperature;
outdoors, about ten days. She and
her staff, who are responsible for
decorating some 80 doorways
during the holidays, use several

apple varieties to add color and -
texture to arrangements. She .

cautions against combining fresh
apples with fresh flowers, however.
The natural “breathing” action of
apples can shorten the life of some
flowers, such as carnations.

If you're all thumbs when it

orful Virginia apples on the front
hall table extends a country wel-

Editor’s Note: This story appeared in the NEWS & OB-
SERVER on 11-30-90. Attorney Dan Blue is a member of the -
House of Representatives and has been a candidate for Speaker
of the House prior to thé November 6, 1990 election. Mr. Blue
was the guest speaker at the Carolina Grill Cafe in October
1990 in support of Mr. Charles McLawhorn. For his bid as a
candidate for House of Representative against Randy Doub,
the margin of victory for Mr. Charles McLawhorn on election
November 6, 1990, indicated that precincts 1, 3, and 4 which
are mainly Black precincts, was the key for Mr. McLawhorn.
Black voters need to ask themselves why is Mr. McLawhorn
not supporting Dan Blue in his bid for Speaker of the House.

by making public Thursday a list of House Democrats who he said had pledged their support.

Mr. Blue, a Democrat from Raleigh, released the names of 41 of the 81 House Democrats he said had committed to vote for him in a
Democratic caucus December 7 in Raleigh. That would give him a majority for the Democratic nomination for speaker.
I’m as confident of becoming speaker as I was of being re-elected,” said Mr. Blue, who was unopposed this year in his bid for a sixth

term.

But his chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Representative Robert C. Hunter of McDowell County, refused to concede.
Mr. Hunter declined to say whether he thought Mr. Blue’s 41 announced votes were solid. But he predicted that he would have enough

votes to win in the caucus.

“I still believe the race is open,” Mr. Hunter said. “I will have the votes on December 7. There are some uncommitted votes. There may

be some people committed to more than one candidate.”

Because Democrats hold 81 of the 120 House seats, the Democratic nominee is almost certain to be elected speaker when the General

Assembly reconvenes in January.

Mr. Blue’s release of the list of his su

D.-Edgecombe.

Mr. Hunter was pressing for a secret ballot in the s
contested races. It would be easier for him to

to ask for an open ballot.

He said he had released the list “in order to dispel ru

votes.”

All 41 people agreed to have their names made public, Mr. Blue said, adding “several other House Democrats” not on the list have said

privately that they plan to vote for him.
The release of the names shed light on the coalition that Mr. Blue has assembled.

He claims the support of all of the House’s black members, most of the dissident Democrats

pporters came amid backstage maneuvering for the right to succeed Speaker Josephus L. Mavretic,

peaker’s contest, saying the Democratic caucus has traditionally voted that way in
peel away some of Mr. Blue’s supporters if the vote were secret. But Mr. Blue said he planned

mors that no candidate for speaker of the House currently has the necessary 41

and most of the Democratic legislators from urban counties, including every Democrat from the Triangle.

Mr. Blue said he had made no deals for committee appointments,
“As I have campaigned for the position of speaker, I have approac
intention to treat all members equally,” he said.

He won some of his support on the basis of momentum.

“Dan Blue is going to take the gavel,” said Representative Edd Nye of Bladen County,

Mr. Blue.

“I can count,” Mr. Nye said. “That is what I have been doing after the election. I have conferred with many members ... and realized

that Dan Blue could put the speakership together.”

House Democrats have been divided since earl
former Speaker Liston B. Ramsey, D-Madison,
In showing that he could bridge divisions among his supporters, Mr. Blue listed am
his bid for another term as speaker, and House Majority Leader Dennis A. Wicker

rivals.

Mr. Blue also has received the su
Rep. Joe Hackney of Chapel Hill.

“The overriding concern at this point is the realization that the next s

“I have made no other promises.”

and elect Mr. Mavretic as speaker.

The following is the list of House Democrats who Mr. Blue said had committed to support him:

: By JIM LOBE

To cap a bad week for Presi-
dent George Bush’s policy in the -
gulf, the Los Angeles Times
published a new poll showing
that a majority of public opinion
disapprove of last week’s deci-
sion to send up to 200,000 more
U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia over
the next two months.

The poll also found over-
whelming support for congres-
sional and international efforts
to restrain Bush’s freedom of
action in gulf— a 3-to-1 majority
said Bush should ask congress
for a declaration of war against
Iraq before taking offensive ac-
tion.

An even more striking 80
percent of those polled said Bush
should also seek the approval of
the U.N. Security Council before
committing the country to war.

At the same time, the most
important U.S. Protestant and
Catholic organizations issued
strong statements questioning
the president’s course in the gulf
and calling unequivocally for
greater efforts and patience to
reach a peaceful solution to the
106-plus-day-old crisis.

Those appeals followed a se-
ries of charges by top Democratic
leaders and some influential Re-
publicans that Bush has not
consulted enough on his plans
and intentions with the congress,
nor has he explained adequately
to the U.S. public the reasons for
going to war to evict Iraq troops
from Kuwait.

 

 

over Bush's Gulf Policy

 

By all accounta, Bush
is clearly on the defensive.
Any unilateral move by
him to launch a war at
this point would be deeply
unpopular, according to
analysts here.

This sudden erosion of
support for Bush’s actions
in the gulf was sparked by
last week’s announcement
of plans to double the
number of U.S. military
personnel in the gulf—al-
ready the largest and most
intensive buildup of U.S.
military power since
World War IIl—to some
400,000 by mid-January.

For the first time since
the crisis began August 2,
Bush talked of ensuring
an “offensive military op-
tion which would be em-
ployed to evict Iraq from
Kuwait if the U.N. eco-

 

 

of Muslim holidays and
summer heat and sand-
storms would make fight-
ing both politically and
militarily more difficult.

It has become clear that
Bush feels increasingly
anxious about waiting. In
a televised interview last
night, he stressed that
“there is a ticking of the
clock” against interna-
tional and domestic sup-
port forconfrontation with
Iraq.

“I think holding public
opinion forever in a coun-
try is very difficult to do,”
he said.

Bush has also made
clear that he is worried
about the fate of Kuwait
itself—that waiting too
long for the embargo to
take its toll against Iraq

U.S. interests in the gulf, that it
18 necessary to move to war sooner
rather than later, or that it is
worth going to war at all, accord-
ing to the latest polls.

“The case has not been made
why Americans should die for
this thing,” democratic pollster
John Marttila told the Times.

It does not help that senior
administration officials them-
selves have used different and
sometimes contradictory reasons
for justifying the policy.

Thus, shortly after the crisis
began, Bush talked of the
“American way of life” — pre-
sumably its large consumption
of fossil fuels — being at stake,
but this explanation went down
very poorly in opinion surveys.
As a result, he changed the
rhetoric to stres: * the situa-
tion represented { fe erst “post-
cold war crisis” » would de-
termine whether a amore just and
peaceful “new world order” could

be created.

Butjust this past week, Baker

poll, only one ii six respondents
believe that Washington should
fight for economic reasons—a
political base on which it would
be very difficult to launch and
sustain what could be a major
war. (IPS)

Discipline Helps Child Lo
Learn Self-Control

What is the difference between
discipline and punishment? What
is the best way to teach your child
self-discipline?

“In the long run, discipline
should help your child to take re-
sponsibility for his or her own be-
havior. Children have to learn to
rely on themselves rather than on
you or other adults to tell them
what to do,” says Dr. Cynthia
Johnson, extension human devel-
opment specialist, North Carolina
State University.

While a child is learning self-
control, he needs to be protected
from hurting himself and other
people. He has to be shown how to
behave in appropriate ways.

“There is no one nght way to
discipline. There are a variety of
techniques that can stop misbe-
havior and encourage self disci-
pline,” Dr. Johnson says. She sug-
gests the following:

- Let your child make some deci-
sions.

- Give reasons for your rules.

- Take the child away from
trouble.

- Redirect the child.

- Let the child learn from the
results of misbehavior.

- Punish the child with a “time
out” or by taking away privileges.

“Remember that punishment
can lost its effectiveness and may
even have bad side effects if it 1s
used too often. It can make the
child forget why he was punished

“Discipline takes time. Don’t be
surprised if a child keeps repeat-

ICE CREAM

American ice creamisa hot sales
item in many foreign countries,
but the United States is still its
own best customer and the largest
single market for ice cream world-
wide, according to the USDA’s
Foreign Agricultural Service.

In 1989, overseas customers lick
their way through $9.4 million
worth of U.S. ice cream exports.
Americans ate the rest of the $1.4
billion gallons produced in this
country. The average American
eats 45 pints of ice cream each
year.

Some of America’s best overseas
ice cream customers are Hong
Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Mexico
and island nationsin the Caribean.
Ice cream export figures were
based on both hard and soft ice
cream, ice milk, sherbet and water
ices.

is familiar to the child. Parents
also hope that their child will be
able to develop a close relation-
ship with his caregiver,” says Dr.
Cynthia Johnson, extension hu-
man development specialist at
North Carolina State University.

Here are some other possible
benefits:

-Most child day care homes are
less structured than day care
centers and offer more time for the
child to relax and play.

—A young child is less likely to

be overstimulated by a large group
of children.

—Child day care homes often
cost less than a day care center,
and the hours are more flexible. A
day care home is more likely to
offer second and third shift care.
