Blacks train in insurance
The first program in the
United Steles speeifirally de
signed to train Black men
and women f o r technical
positions in the insurance
industry is being started in
San Francisco.
Ten high school graduates
are l>cing selected for the
one year training program
which will be conducted by

Upon comple
lion of the program, stu
dents will qualify as casualty
underwriter, property and
package policy underwriter,
loss control representative,
prei >ium auditor and claims
representative.
Roosevelt Carrie, president
of the Association, said to
day that thia experimental
program ia the first one
ever to train Black people
for jobs in the insurance
industry beyond mail or file
clerk. He added that if thia
try ia successful, similar pro
grams w i l l be conducted
throughout the country.
“During training, the stu
dents will receive a year's
salary,” Carrie said.
“Sev
eral major insurance com
panics have already assured
us that they will have jobs
for our graduates when they
finish the program.”
The training will also help
train the students to reach
m anagem ent
positions
in their chosen fields, Carrie
explained.
The program has the sup
port of the Bay Area Urban
League, The National A l
liance of Businessmen and
major property and casualty
insurance companies through
out the United States.
The Bay Area Asaocialion

jrm ed to represent a n d
assist Blacks in the insurance
industry.
The Association is cur
renlly studying discrmina
tory hiring practices of major
national insurance firms. It is
also examining discriminatory
agency appointment criteria
which make it difficult for a
Black agent or broker to
obtain an agency appoint
ment.
In addition, the Association
ia looking at discriminatory
»radices by major firms
which make it difficult for
Black agenta and brokers to
place business with major
insurance companies.
In
another study, it is investi
gating underwriting practices
which make it difficult for
residents of Black communi
ties to purchase insurance.
"We are studying the pos
sibility of forming the nation's
first Black owned and oper
ated property and casualty
insurance company in San
Francisco," Carrie said. “It's
a disgrace that Black brokers
and agenta are currently
handling none of the City of
San
Francisco's insurance
business.
And that's prob
ably true in almost every
large city in America." he
added.

No additional funds are pro
posed for the Model Cities
program.
Health
Several m a j o r
health programs are expiring
this year and the adminis
tralion is not recommending
their continuance.
These
include funds to build hospi
tals. the Community Mental
Health Center program; the
Regional Medical programs
and training programs for
many health professionals.
Education Funds requested
for programs in the Office of
Education total $277 million
less than I he revised figures
for fiscal year 1973.
The
budget would shift the way
funds are used, by proposing
increase in funds for the
Basie ()p,Hirtunity Grants,
which give aid directly to
individuals.
A number of
categorical programs would
have their funds cut or
would be eliminated entire!»
under this budget.
These
include aid to <lis.idvant.iged

Elementary and Secondary
Education Act; library ser

higher education aid; eduea
lion development: health and
nutrition, drug abuse educa
lion; Follow Through and
dropout prevention.
Welfare The administration
has not repeated its efforts
to make major changes in
the welfare system, instead,
there will be an emphasis on
management reforms. The
ceiling of $2.5 billion for
social services under I he
Social Security A rt would he
lowered Io $2 billion under
this budget.
M a n p o w r r - The budget calls
for a decrease of $375.3
million compared to what
had been anticipated for (is
cal year 1973.
The largest
cut results from the eliniina
tion of the Emergency Em
ploymenl A rt. which was
funded al $2.5 billion Iasi
year to provide public m t
vice jobs for the unemployed.
There is also no request for
funds for summer youth pro
grams.

Talbot named Ambassador Budget threatens
Debate has begun on the
fiiM-al year 1974 federal bud
get. which rails for major
shifts in federal programs
and policies.
The president's $288.7 bil
lion budget proposes rut
backs in a number of domes
tic programs begun during
the I960’». The total budget
is slightly higher than the
current budget because of
recommended increases in
military spending, social sc
curity payments, Medicare
and Medicaid payments and
increased interest payments
on the national debt.
The administration's pri
mary purpose in this budget
is to avoid a (ax increase
while controlling inflation by
reducing government spend
ing. The budget also supports
the president's goal of shift
ing responsibility for domes
tie programs to state and
local governments and for
restructuring the federal a
geneies.
In a number of rases where
the budget requests no funds
for a categorical grant pro
g r a m , (he administration
suggests that revenue shar
ing funds be used by state
and local governments to
support such a program
The rrueial q u e s t i o n is
whether programs benefiting
the Black community will
gain or lose funds as a result
of shifts away from categor
ical grant programs.
Following is a run down of
the major proposed budget
changes in program« of m.- •
concern to Biaeks.
Office of Economic Opportu
nlty
By providing no funds
in the budget, the adminis
(ration is moving to dis
mantel the Office of Econ
omic Opportunity.
Some
programs such as the Com
munity Action Program, will
be eliminated entirely as a
national effort; other pro
grams will be moved to other
federal agencies.
These in
elude:
I I The health and
nutrition program, which is
being moved to the Depart
men! of Health, Education
and W elfare, with a budget
cut of $18.2 million; 21 com
munity e c o n o m i c devel
opment programs, moved to
the Office of Minority Bus
iness Enterprise, with a net
decrease of $28.7 million for
the combined programs; 31
migrant farmworkers
pro
gram transferred to the La
bor Department and raised
by $3.7 million; 41 research,
split among H E W , Labor and
H U D . with a total budget
increase of $11.3 million.
Both the Democrats and
the administration have put
forth plans '.o continue the
la*gal Services Program as a
separate corporation but a
fight is expected over the
size and scope of the pro
gram.
The Legal Services
budget request is down from
$78.3 million to $71.5 million.
Some local projects are re
portedly already closing or
preparing to do so.
Housing and Urban Develop
ment In January then H U D
Secretary George Romney
announeed a freeze on all
new commitments for build
ing low income housing un
der public h o u s i n g pro

and for the Farmer's Home
