Brown, who has served in the legislature 19 years, said he would not campaign as a "Black candidate", and does not expert his race to help or hurt him. He will campaign, however, on his legislative record, which he said "demon strates a broad concern in dealing with problems of statewide interest." The Indoor Sports Club is not an athletic club as the name seems to imply, but is a national club for the disabled. Its members are persons who are in w'leelehairs, walk with crutches or braces, are bed ridden, or are severely dis abled. The club was formed in 1930 as the result of a shutin's effort to find a pen pal. and has developed into a social and rehabilitative organiza tion. The Portland Chapter, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is making an effort to interest minority group members and young people. Meetings usually consist mainly of socializing, a short business meeting, sometimes entertainment, and dinner. Meetings are held the fourth Sunday of the month at Matt Dishman Center. The organization also serves as a “watchdog" on legislation affecting the handicapped, assists fund raising drives for the March of Dimes and Red Cross, and participates in “Employ the Handicapped" projects.

Chairman of the Con gressional Black Caucus, has announced that the Depart ment of Health, Education and W elfare intends to award additional grant funds to the Delta Community Hospital, Mound Bayou. M ississippi. HEW had earlier announced that cur rent grant support for this health facility serving the all Black tow n of Mound Bayou would be allowed to expire on May 31st. As it has done in the past, the Congressional Black Caucus intervened on behalf of the hospital with Federal of ficials. HEW's position that it does not fund hospitals was unacceptable to the Caucus, since the Depart ment supports hospitals under the Public Health Ser vice Act and through the Indian Health Service Pro gram. “As a result of Caucus efforts and the con cern of the national Black community." staled Rangel. "HEW will support the Delta Community Hospital for a 12 month period to allow it to convert from a grant funding basis to a fiscal procedure more customary for hospital operations." The five county area of Northwest Mississippi, the heart of the Delta region of the State, is one of the poorest areas of the country, and can hardly afford to lose any of its existing resources.

The hospital and health center have survived various crises over the past several years. In 1972 Governor Waller of Mississippi vetoed Mound Bayou Federal fund ing, and forced the Office of Economic Opportunity to override his objections twice, laist year the health facilities were once again threatened when they were transferred to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in stead of the Government S e r v ic e s Adm inistration. This year HEW informed the Mound Bayou Community Hospital, Inc. that funds would be cut off as of May 31. 1974. Throughout these various crises Mound Bayou resi dents appealed to local, state and national representatives to no avail. "Apparently," said Chairman Rangel, “the needs of Rlack constituents are low on the priority list of many Mississippi officials. However, the Congressional Black Caucus will continue to attempt to address the needs of Blacks all over the country, especially those whose national representa lives are unresponsive."
