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

freedom.

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.

"We must somehow get
over to the American people
the fact that the Watergate
budget is just as damaging
to America as the Watergate
event," said Henry Maier,
mayor of Milwaukee and
chairman of the Coalition for
Human Needs and Budget
Priorities in his opening re
marks to the Coalition spon
sored Senate Ad Hoc Hear
ingson the Budget vs. Human
Needs.
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. W illiam Prox

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."
