call on both black and white
citizens to Join us In making
the democratic system work-
able and representative of all
Americans."
The research director of the
Voter Educatlo Project, J.
Stanley Alexander, stated that,
"The black population In 1970
represented only 18.2 per cent
of the total population. In 1878
city officials estimated the
black population to be 30 per
cent which warrants two sub-
stantial black wards rather than
the one which city officials had
proposed.
W.J. Freeman of the Neigh-
borhood Voters' Leafue further
added that, "Black citizens of
College Park are having to fight
every Inch for full citizenship.
We hope city officials will be
more responsive and respect-
ful of the laws of our country.

faith In the ability of govern-
ments to deal directly with
serious economic and social
problems."
In sn optimistic employ-
ment report, the President said
that black employment since

week of March, surpassing the
target of 725,000 the Adminis-
tration has set for that date
more than nine months ago.
"Not only did we meet the
target, but we met It In the week

tool that can move rapidly
against the problem of unem-

"This rapid expansion of the
public service J<*> program was
done without the creation of

"Prior to the expansion, few-
er than half of the enrollees
In the major CETA employ-
ment titles were disadvantaged.
During the expansion, more than
16 per cent of the new enrollees
were disadvantaged. I have sub-
mitted to the Congress a re-
authorization of the CETA bill
that will devote 100 per cent
of the future resources of the
