Block Caucus hits white press N e w EEOC b ill sig n ed By Davfcd M. Nero, J r. MINORITY Hl SIM ss NEW BILL The new ELIX2 b ill, signed by the President last week, and the ('FCC’ s Rev ised D rie r N o . 4, which w ill go into effect next week, put the federal govern ment in a belt ; r position than ever before to enforce equal employment opportunity for m inorities anil women, says the M is Vnalysis. Not only does the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission gain some muscle to back up its’ persuasive efforts, but also the Office ol Pederal Contract Compliance w ill ie empow ered to ensure opportunities tor women among tederaI con tractors. New Ideas For Black Businesses Paul and Geneva Knauls, owners ot Geneva's Restau rant, located at 4228 N. W il liam s, have some very good »deas about where black busi ness is going and where it's coming from. A special problem io rb la ck owned businesses, especially public places such as restau rants, is the high rates of fire insurance. High insurance rates imply that there is an un usually high ris k involved fo r the insurance company. Paul said, "Insurance rates are so high that i t ’ s almost better to be without i t . " He doesn't see a change coming, though, because insurance is a necessity fo r which everyone must eventually pay. Until one big company sets a precedent and lowers the rate, all com panies w ill continue to make margins of p ro fit by insuring the black business community. Paul feels that in spite of this and other problems, black business w ill continue to grow in Portland, because the black community itself is growing. People are moving into the area from the east and from C alifornia. DR.
