D.C., is the only other major rity that comes close to San Antonio in Hlark principal Black stu dent equity. Ethridge listed seventeen Northern states that need at least fifty percent more Blark principals in order to achieve an equitable ratio with Blark student popula tions. Ethridge suggested that the SCLC's agenda for the remainder of the 70 s should concentrate on exercising political power to bring about educational change. Among goals should be in t e g r a t io n o f school boards; in te g ra tio n of superintendents' offices; re cruiting Blark and other minority principals and tea chers as well as sensitive, understanding people of all races; "getting to drive the bus as well as ride the bus.” scribe the E N L A as being "almost the exact reverse of the M P L A (Popular Move ment) non ideological to the extreme and vehe m en tly a n ti S o viet and anti communists China and Zaire arc providing it mas give aid."

As reported in the P o rt­ land O b s erver (A u g ust 28th), the F N L A , headed by Zairian President Mobutu's brother in law Holden Ro berto, has amassed a rag lag army of reportedly 5,000 which is moving toward Luanda; this "army" has already displaced more than half a million Ango Ians, according to Red Cross estimates. Also, the massive exodus of Portu guese refugees from Angola is understood to be a deliberate policy being exe­ cuted by the F N L A , the effect being to destabilize further the situation in Angola, and to use the Portuguese colonials again in Portugal as a hysterical anti communist force to de stabilize the progressive efforts of the M F A (ruling government) there. “Western observers," ae cording to the Washington post, "here (Luanda) have been struck by the large number of Portuguese they have seen in the National Front Army. Many ex officers of the Portuguese colonial army have gone over to the Front, and of them, Captain Alves Car doso is described as being its chief of staff or Com rnander of its army in Caxito. While the Front has many Portuguese, it is constantly attacking the presence of mulattos in the Popular Movement..." "They A re T ry in g Tn Make A nother V ie tn a m Out Of The Place..." Sally N'Dongo. M PLA representative in Paris, has issued an urgent call for an investigation of the United States role in Angola.
