lobs, the suit added.
The compliance review fo-
cused on eleven city depart-
ments including fire, streets,
public works, garbage, recrea-
tion, and electrical in which
revenue sharing binds are used.
The suit asked the court to
prohibit the city and its officials
from continuing these practices
and to require them to correct
the effects of the alleged dis-
criminatory practices.
In addition, the suit asked that
the city be required to reim-
burse blacks for losses suffer-
ed because of the alleged fail-
ure to hire and promote them
on an equal basis with whites.
The Justice department, un-
der authority granted the at-
torney general in the Revenue
Sharing act, conducts routine
compliance reviews of cities
and counties.
Assistant Attorney General J.
Stanley Pottlnger, head of the
Civil Rights division, said the
purpose of the reviews is to
Insure that there Is no dis-
crimination on the basis of
race, color, national origin,
or sex under any prograsa fund-
ed In whole or in part by rev-
enue sharing funds. Such dis-
crimination is prohibited by
the act.

One of Mrs. Ashford’s great-
est management challenges
came last year when the Los
L
Angeles power company warnea
local businesses to severely
restrain energy consumption or
iace a blackout. within two
months, energy consumption at
the annex had been reduced by
20 per cent.
Often described by terminal
workers as “hard-nosed and
determined” but equally as “fair
and dedicated,” Mrs. Ashford
feels that women in Industry
generally should look toward
line management rather than
white /collar staff positions.
“Any Job which Is a line
function and deals with the
reasons for a company’s exist-
ence Is fraught with risk and
failure,” she warns. “But,
this is the most exciting part
of many Jobs. Women must
become attuned to this excite-
ment. *

members be hired over white

Holmes’ announcement came
after several dozen prominent
university professors com-
plained to President Ford that
the federal government's af-
firmative action program Is
“unjust and discriminatory. *
Harris pointed out that NEA
has never been under the im-
pression that college affirma-
tive action programs called for
a drop In employee quality.
“On the contrary,” he said,
“fully qualified women and min-
orities have been systematical-
ly excluded from top faculty
jobs while preference was given
to white males.”
If women or minorities win
top Jobs, some people assume
that standards must have been
lowered, Harris commented.
The NEA leader warned that
“we must not allow the HEW
statement to be used as a new
defense for the old bigoted
thinking.”
A shotgun blast to a man’s
lower stomach, Sunday morn-
ing, ended a lover’s quarrel
over a third {tarty.
Reported in stable condition
Sunday afternoon at Brooke
Army Medical center was Har-
ley Goode, 38, of 814 Lamar
street.
Booked for criminal attempt
to commit murder was Goode’s
common-law wife Ms. Doris
Lucky, 38.
Police Officer Harold Schott
quoted Ms'. Lucky as saying,
“I shot him. I ain’t going to
put up with it anymore!"
Reportedly, Goode had ad-
vanced upon the woman with a
knife and she fired the shot-
gun in self defense, Schott’s
report reads.
Homicide Detective Alex
Torres quoted the woman as
saying she and Goode had been
arguing over a second woman.

New Booklets
Due on Sickle
Ceil Anemia
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — A
new in-depth series of educa-
tional booklets on sickle cell
anemia and sickle cell trait,
prepared by the National As-
sociation for Sickle Cell Dis-
ease, Inc. (NASCD) for legis-
lators, doctors, nurses, public
health officials, sickle cell or-
ganisations and the general pub-
lic will be published In the near
future, announced Charles F.
Whitten. M. D., president of
NASCD.
“These booklets are designed
to correct misinformation and
clear up misunderstandings
about sickle cell disease and
trait, and to offer complete
data to an audience that wants
and needs more than brief fact
sheets,” said Dr. Whitten, at
Los Angeles headquarters.
The NASCD has sole respon-
sibility for the content at the
educational materials, but the
cost for producing them Is being
underwritten by the Upjohn
company of Kalamazoo, Michi-
gan.
The program Is one of a ser-
ies of health education projects
for disadvantaged people funded
by Upjohn. Other projects
Include a pilot health education
project of the Family Health
center In Kalamazoo- a National
Health Education conference, to
create comprehensive health
education programs for disad-
vantaged consumers; and a
Western Michigan university
course, “Consumer Health for
the Disadvantaged,” co-spon-
sored by Upjohn.
The sickle cell booklets are
part of NASCD’s plan to coor-
dinate and guide community
efforts throughout the country
and, with Its Scientific Advisory
committee, to act as a clearing
houae for all Information on
sickle cell disease and trait.
NASCD, formed In 1969, also
has an approved list of litera-
ture on sickle coll topics avail-
able from other sources.
The first booklet, now avail-
able, 'Guidelines for Legisla-
tion Pertaining to Sickle Cell
Anemia and Sickle Cell Trait,”
discusses the need for state
resouroes to aid people with
sickle wen anemia; to educate
the public; to train community
level pereonnel as genetic coun-
selors, and to make tasting
and counseling available.
The nine additional pamphlets
to be published later will cover:
an overview of the sickle cell
story; discussion of sickle cell
trait; social Implications of
testing for sickle cell; instruc-
tions tor developing a sickle cell
organisation: a scientific paper
which deals with the question of
avoidance of pregnancy of wom-
en with sickle cell anemia; a
technical discussion regarding
screening of blood donors for
siehel hemoglobin; a position

Ms. Rice remembers ooe
counseling experience with a
young man who started
•bout himself. “Before long,
you could tell he had forgotten
anyone else was in the room.
1 was getting a little scared-
what should 1 do?
“When he finished talking. I
asked him it there was anything
I could do for him. He asked
me to be his mother. I held
him In my arms while he cried."
That Incident happened a few
yaara ago. Today, the man
attends college.
Ms. Rice says that success
Isn’t always easy to measure.
“If a person stays out of Jail
longer than the last time, that’s
success."
In her present Job, she super-
vises women assigned to a
county in-town center for cus-
tody and traatmon* « “TO- •

dent does in-house chores. Sec-
ond, when she's considered
ready, she’s placed on a work
furlough status. Under this
honor system a resident finds
a Job and works outside the
center but Is required to sleep
at the center until her sentence
ends.
Ms. Rice feels good about
her Job, and she's proud of the
center’s program.
“It’s time we learned that In-
carceration and punishment
aren’t the answers. Society,
Isn’t ready for ex-felons. It’s
time people realized that we
are people, too--that because
we made a mistake once we are
not going to stay at the bottom
rung of the ladder,” she adds.
Ms. Rice, confident about the
future, states that New Careers
“reinforced the things I wanted
to do with myself. *
After working hours, she is
studying for a bachelor of arts
degree In psychology.
Employers
Asked tolssue
W-2's Early
AUSTIN — Employers can
help their employees to obtain
faster tax refunds by Issuing
W-2 forms or equivalent earn-
ing statements as early as pos-
sible, the Internal Revenue
Service said this week.
“Although the deadline for
Issuing w-2 forms is January
31," Richard J. Stakem, Jr., IRS
district director for southern
Texas said, “employers can
help their employees file re-
turns earlier and obtain refunds
faster by Issuing W-2’s well
before the deadline.”
Tupwyera who iiie returns
In January can expect to re-
ceive their refunds four to five
weeks after filing, Stakem
pointed out.
“On the other hand,” the dis-
trict director said, “the tax-
payer who files during such
peak periods as late February,
late March, or April may have
to wait as long as eight or ten
wetks for a refund.”
He said that because the
workload at IRS service centers
is lighter earl yin the filing sea-
son, returns are processed
faster.
As In previous years, an em-
ployee filing his return for
1974 must attach a W-2 form
from each empoyer. Each form
should show earning, income
tax withheld, and social security
information.
The IRS expects to issue some
64.8 million refunds this year,
totaling about $31.6 billion.
In encouraging taxpayers to
file early, the tax official cited
the potential for errors when
taxpayers prepare their returns
in a last minute rush.
“The IRS has found that there
is a significantly higher fre-
quency of errors made by hur-
ried taxpayers. These errors
often can be eliminated if the
taxpayer allows enough time
to prepare a careful return,”
ha said.
Farm Workers
To Recover
Back Wages
MIAMI--About 25farm work-
ers. most of them blacks who
had been engaged in harvesting
tomatoes for growers and food
processors, will recover
$12,906 in back wages as a
result of a suit brought by the
United States Labor depart-
ment.
The suit in United States
District court established that
food processors, growers and
other employers who engage
workers through farm labor
contractors or farm crew lead-
ers are “employers” within the
meaning of the Fair Labor
Standards act.
The suit charged that farm
crew leader Joe L. Brown at
Homestead, Fla., and five food
processors and growers were
violating the act by paying work-
ers engaged by Brown less than
the applicable minimum wage
and by falling to keep adequate
employee records.
Co-defendant processors and
growers named In the suit were:
Paul Di Mare, Miami, of Flo-
rida Tomato Packers, Inc.,;
George Lytton, Miami, of L
and D Farms; Robert A. Col-
lins, Homestead, and L and D
Farms and Florida Tomato
Packers, Inc., both located in
Dade county, Fla. The action
against Collins was later dis-
missed.
The other co-defendants
agreed they are “employers*
as defined by the FLSA and
•greed to pay half of the
$12,906 In back wages due em-
ployees engaged by Brown.
Judge C. Clyde Atkins signed
• Judgement ordering Brown to
P*y the remaining $6,453 and
permanently enjoining him from
violating the provisions of the
Farm Labor Contractor Regis-
tration act and the Fair Labor
"ana, .,
forced by the labor depart-
ment.
Legal action followed inves-
tigations conducted by the Labor
department’s Wage and Hour
division office In Miami.
