I I Page 4 Portland/Observer Thursday June ¿8, 1973 School of Engineering seeks Black students Voice of the NAACP by Elli>. H. Caaston, President NAACP, Portland Branch As I look at the calendar I quickly notice it's the end of June and already six months of this year's activities for us have gone by. It's been a good, active six months and we have made our impact throughout the city and state. Since the NAACP won't be meeting “ formally" until Sep tember, I want to take this opportunity to “ thank" each of you for your support to the NAACP by becoming members and encouraging us in our efforts to making our community a better place for all. I want also to thank Mr. Alfred Henderson and his staff for giving us the oppor tunity to speak with each of you through the "Voice of the NAACP". Your com ments and expressions have been helpful. Each of you. I'm sure, realize it's not easy to please everyone. We wish that »e could have more personal involvement with each of vou, but with over 1200 I members, it’s impossible; but nevertheless, we are con cerned about you and your welfare. However, the NAACP belongs to you and yeti have a responsibility to find out what is going on and to take an active part in it's work and programs. The sad part is we never see "you" until you get in trouble or need the support of the NAACP. We never see our "Black elected of ficials". our "Black directors of programs", or the "Black ‘so-called’ leadership" at our meetings and we’ve been meeting on the third i3rdl Sunday in each month for over seven (71 years. And whether you want to admit it or not all of us are where we are today because of the NAACP. We need you when times are good and when times are bad and rough. We need to know you are concerned and interested. The NAACP is a organization - staff, just faithful for the cause of volunteer no paid workers freedom. 287 - 2887 E x c lu s iv e , H u r r y Because of this, we have pulse on what is happening in our community and city. The job is too great and the time is far too short to waste a minute, an hour, or even a day without being concerned and active. Have a good summer and remember "you need the NAACP and the NAACP needs you". kept a branch going for almost tilt years, and we still stand tall as the most feared and respected civil rights organization in America. I trust that when we re turn in the fall you will come out and support us so in return we can support you. Your President will not be sleeping during the summer, but will continue to keep his Yours in love and peace. New daily covers Caribbean scene of Wisconsin.

Maier explained that "while the Watergate event poisons the well-spring of our politi cal process, the Watergate budget poisons the well spring of our governmental process.” The Coalition an um brella organization comprised of over 90 local and national citizens’ groups spon sored the hearings to high light the widespread, detri mental impact of the Ad ministration's budget and to discuss legislative proposals for restoring domestic human needs to the top of our national priorities list. Senators Edward Kennedy and W a lte r Mondale co- chaired the Senate hearing panel, and were joined by Senators Richard Clark. Ed mund Muskie, Jacob Javits, H enry Jackson, Richard Schweiker.

Members of the Coalition's Board of Directors presented expert testimony fix-using on both the overall problem and specific aspects of it. Wit nesses included United Auto Workers President Leonard Woodcock, Urban League President Vernon Jordan, League of Women Voters President Lucy Benson, and Clay Cochran of the Rural America Committee. Vernon Jordan. Executive Director of the National Ur ban League, told the com mittee. “ I believe that it is up to the Congress to assert it's Constitutional role in our government and to initiate the changes so desperately needed by your constituents. I see little hope for action from the Executive Branch. Many people feel that the changes in staffing arrange ments in the wake of Water gate will open the govern ment to more liberalized programs. But I fear that the basic domestic policy is set within this budget, a budget that is a rigid coffin for the hopes and dreams of the poor." Paul Warnke, attorney and former Assistant Secretary of Defense, testified that "With the end of our Viet nam involvement and the negotiation of the Moscow Arms Agreement in 1972. we are entitled to expect a major reduction in the mill tary budget for Fiscal Year 1974 similar to the mas sive reductions achieved upon termination of the Second World War and the Korean War. But, instead of reduc tions. President Nixon has proposed a $5.6 billion in crease in national defense budget authority for FY 74 and simultaneously, a vast cutbark on federal domestic programs essential to our genuine national security."
