Gervin Puts NBA
Scoring Title On Ice
ES Boys Club
Tourney A Success
The almost unbelievable hap-
pened In New Orleans when
George ("Ice Man") Gervin of
the San Antonio Spurs scored
63 points In the year's final
game to capture the NBA scor-
ing title.
Needing 58 points to overtake
Denver's David Thompson who
had tallied 73 earlier In the day,
Gervin missed his first five
•hots then proceed to can 20
In the first quarter, a league
record 33 In the second and
reached 59 In the third for the
title.
Now, Gervin and his mates
will sit back this week and
watch the best two of three
series between Washington and
Atlanta to see who they will
play In the Eastern Conference
semi-finals.
Not only do the Spurs not
know who they will play, but
the dates are unsettled also.
If someone wins the short
series In two straight, then the
Spurs will open at home on
Sunday, April 16. If that's the
case, then tickets will go on
sale to the general public at
9 a.m. on Saturday, April 15.
If the series goes the full
three games, then the Spurs
will open at home on Wednes-
day, April 19, and tickets will
go on sale at 9 a.m. on Mon-
day, April 17.
Nonetheless, this is a week of
practice for the Central Divi-
sion champion Spurs and their
NBA-leading scorer George
Gervin.

ANNIVERSARY--Business and government leaders met recently In Washington to celebrate
the National Urban Coalition's tenth anniversary "Salute to the Cities."
Pictured (from left) are Atlanta Mayor Maynard Jackson; Special Assistant to the President Martha
"Bunny" Mitchell; National Urban League President Vernon E. Jordan; and Phillip Morris corporate
public affairs director, Stanley S. Scott.
The Urban Coalition is the only national organization of Its kind dedicated to the survival and
success of the American city. Composed of business, minority, labor and local government leaders,
it has for the past decade worked to build "a lifeline to and among the people who live In urban
communities" -- the elderly, the poor, minorities and working class people who lack the resources
to Improve their own quality of life.
Religious Accommodatation Hearing Set
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
U.S. Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity Commission (EEOC) will
hold a series of one-day public
hearings on religious accom-
modation to learn the views of
employers, employees, inter-
ested individuals and affected
organizations In such areas as
Saturday Sabbath, religious ob-
servances and holidays.
The hearings, announced by
Eleanor Holmes Norton, chair
of the EEOC, will be held In
New York City on April 6,
1978; in Los Angeles on April
18; and on May 1 at a location
that will be announced soon.
The commission is holding
these hearings to ascertain what
action the commission should
take or recommend to the Con-

er's obligation for accommu-
dating the religious beliefs of
employees.
The question as to how ex-
tensive accommodation need be
was reopened by last summer's
decision by the U.S. Supreme
Court In TWO v. Hardlson. That
decision Involved a conflict be-
tween the normal operation of a
seniority system and the week-
ly religious needs of an em-
ployee.
In addition, the commission
has been concerned because of
reports that while some em-
ployers have found ways of
accommodating employee's re-
ligious beliefs, others have
misinterpreted the Hardlson
decision to mean that religious
accomodation is no longer
required.
In response to thes repots,
Commissioner Norton issued a
statement in October 1977, Just
prior to the Jewish High Holy
Days, that warned employers
that (u)nder Title VII
and the Commission's guide-
line*, employers continue to
have a duty to accomodate to
the religious beliefs of their
employees. In addition, em-
ployers who in the past have
accommodated to the religious
needs of their employees on
Important religious holidays
will have a heavy burden at
demonstrating that a withdrawal
of that accomodation is consis-
tent with their obligations un-
der Title VII of the Civil Rights
Act Of 1964."
"We know from actual ex-
experience," Commissioner
Norton explained, "that there is
considerable religious accomo-
dation occurring In industry to
meet employee needs. The
hearings can help us learn from
employers, employees and
members of organizations who
will testify what alternatives
have been used to meet em-
ployees' religious needs."
All hearings will be open to
the public. Specific locations
for each city will be announced
In the Federal Register prior
to each hearing.
Individuals wh" re not per-
mitted to testify because of
time limitations, or those who
don't want to testify In parson,
may submit written statements
to the commission. These
statements must be sent no lat-
er than May 15, 1978 to the
Executive Secretariat at the ad-
dress above.

HOUSTON-In an
many worry about
invading their privacy, the Vet-
erans administration has asked
its electronic data banks to
ldei.tlfv a special group of
severely disabled veterans.
The VA wants to locate those
veterans who fit into a new
eligibility classification adop-
ted by Congress last year tor
a $25,000 grant to buy, build
or remodel "wheelchair"
homes, according to Ted. W.
Myatt, director of VA regional
office in Houston.
Until Congress passed and
President Carter signed Public
Law 95-117 last October, only
veterans who had lost, or lost
the use of, both legs were eli-
gible for the grant.
The new law extend s eli-
gibility to those whose ser-
vice-connected compensation
for service-connected injuries
to seek those whose dlablllty
matched the new grant' quali-
fications.
The 3,300 names the com-
puters produced were then sent
to the agency's 58 regional of-
fices where the action case files
