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.

He recommended the estab­

Increased aid to m in o rity-
owned businesses is the aim ot
new legislation proposed b\
President Nixon In a message
to Congress in which lie state
that the pi incipsl need of m i-
nority business is increase
capital investment, tlie Pres­
ident urged support fo r anew
b ill that would facilitate loans
to M inority E nterprise Smal
B u s in e s s Investment Coinpan
ws (MI SBlC’ s) from banks,
other private lerxiing institu
turns, ami the federal govern­
ment. The President also asks
Congress for a »03.0 m illion
appropriation ( o t the Dtficeot
M inority Business Enterprise
to provide technical assls-
tance to m inorityenterprises.
Paul himself came to P ort­
land from "th e ea st," eastern
Washington, that is . He was a
wine steward at the Davenport
Hotel in Spokane ind a custom­
e r engineer fo r :he Royal Mc­
Bee Company. In 1963 he
bought the Cotton Club on 2125
N, Vancouver and moved here.
In 1964 he purchased Paul’ s,
which Geneva said was dis­
placed by the Portland Devel­
opment Commission. Eight
employees were out of work as
a result.
Paul relates that he was
happily single whenhecameto
Portland. He made the lucky
mistake of going to Cash and
Maxey’ s fo r a trim and met
Geneva, theba-ber.Thev were
m arried in September, 196b,
and Paul says, " I'v e been get­
ting free haircutsever since.”
They have four children, Dar­
re ll, 19; Robin. 18; Rick and
Paul, J r , both 16.
Of th e ir marriage, Paul
said, “ She supports me in ev­
erything I do, and I wouldn’ t be
where I am without her.”
Geneva said simply, "W e
accomplish more together."
And they do. Geneva’ s Res­
taurant was opened in A p ril,
1968, employing six people.
Paul opened the new restau­
rant, because, "W e felt there
was a neec fo r a nice place in
the area. People bring their
kids, so you know it's a lrig h t."
Paul says they serve the
best Bar-B-Qued Ribs in the
city . And because a birthday
is something special, a person
is honored with a free drink.
When asked how business
was going, Paul replied that
in spite ot inflation and other
economic problems, it was go­
ing w ell. He noted that black
people are becoming m o r e
aware and "spending more
money in the black commu­
n ity ."
Besides th e ir own business,
Geneva is s till giving h a ir cuts
at Cash and Maxey's, and Paul
is s till getting his free. She is
also the chief household o r-
r the si ■. knuul s,en­
joys skiing, is a member of the
Lion's A u xilia ry, and finds
time fo r modeling, too.
Paul is the community rela­
tions man fo r the I ra ilb la /e rs
Basketball team. He promotes
activities and coordinates
speaking engagements fo r the
players.
He says he’ s not a commu­
nity leader and simply does
what he can, but the I acts don't
coincide with his estimation of
him self. He is the 1st Vice
President of the Albina Lion’ s
Club, a member of the Chefs
de Cuisine Society of ( 'regon,
th e Albina Waiters, Wait­
resses and Bartenders Asso­
ciation of Portland and organ­
izes activities fo r community
days in the parks. This lead­
er also finds a tew leisure mo­
ments to enjoy photography
and skiing.
