European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 13, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 12 the stars and stripes tuesday september 13, 1977 Roy Wilkins dip stick bark face Case May result in landmark decision the Case of Allan Bakke is. The univer sity of California which will be heard by the supreme court is expected to result in a landmark decision As far As College Edu cation for Blacks and other nonwhite minorities is alleges that he was denied admission to the University of California medical school at Davis because of the program of the University under which less qualified Black students were extensive argument in the Carter administration the . Government finally has decided to uphold the plan for minor Ity admissions As it now stands. A Brief will be filed in the Bakke Case for the United states which will be signed by at Torney general Griffin Bell upholding the practice of the University of California on minority admissions. Some Black leaders feel that the decision on the Bakke Case is As important to the future of the higher education of Blacks in America As the decision in the Brown Case which outlawed separate but equal Educa Tion was Back in 1954. The debate Over negroes in College classes started Over half a Century ago strangely enough with the disputes of two Black men the late or. . Dubois and Booker t. Washington of course a Black Man John Russworm had graduated from Bowdoin College As Early As 1826. . Dubois had earned a . At har Vard in 1895. He believed that Blacks should have an Opportunity for education in the nation s Best universities even As he had. He inspired and encouraged Blacks toward College educations and helped in the development of Black scholars in his Day. On the other hand Booker t. Washing ton was in no hurry about Blacks finishing College. They had no business there under his program of training for technical and service jobs and he followed this course in the development of Tuskegee Institute. He related that a part of his own admissions examination was dusting a room he did it three times before being allowed to remain at Tuskegee Institute and he apparently believed this a suitable part of an Entrance examination. White people were pleased with s program of education for Blacks and gave financial support which enabled him to develop Tuskegee Institute. Happily today Over 60 years after or. Washington s death Tuskegee has a regu Lar College curriculum with a Well trained faculty and High standards. There has been no denial by anyone that Blacks and other minorities have been denied adequate preparatory education be cause of racial discrimination. This is the Way it was when the separate but equal myth was floating around and this is the Way it is 23 years after the supreme court outlawed separate but equal education. Should a Black student who has obvious potential for development into a first rate doctor be forced into an Industrial Job be cause the Only undergraduate training available to a Black boy in his locality was lacking in certain areas of study should a Black student with High Intelli gence quotient be barred because the unequal education he received did not acquaint him with areas of knowledge to which a White student in a prep school was exposed will a Young Man named Bakke in his supreme court plea now destroy an Opportunity for Many Young Black people who aspire to be doctors lawyers teachers engineers or Well trained businessmen will the supreme court take assay from minority students the Small advantage Given them by special admissions pro Grams of some colleges c Register and Tribune Syndicate � 1977 los anoles time Ira c. Eaker the recently announced reorganisation of the intelligence Community has some disturbing implications. It establishes for the first time an intelligence Czar a dominant intelligence sootv4 Africa a.u2ek� / Mas a. Bomb comptroller. It gives the director of thecia the function of controlling the total intelligence budget. Every experienced bureaucrat knows what that Means. Fiscal control Means absolute control. In fact every family knows that control of the family budget is contralto All family decisions. There Are subsidiary but vital concerns in this intelligence reorganization. It makes the Cia which spends less than 15 per cent of the total intelligence budget the dominant influence in intelligence financing. The Cia has been the least efficient member of the intelligence Community. The prime purpose of All intelligence is to provide the president and the Congress a reliable National intelligence estimate Nie evaluating the principal hazards to our Security. Presently the relative strength of the . And .s.r. Is the vital Nie Factor. The Cia has been forced to upgrade its estimates of soviet strength arms Bud gets plans and purposes for the past Sev eral years. The intelligence agencies of the department of defense have been much More accurate. As a Reward the least effective element of intelligence is made dominant the mos effective is downgraded and made subservient. Former employees of the Cia have writ ten books divulging the organization methods and even the names of Cia agents. No such revelations have come from intelligence agencies under the jurisdiction of the defense department. Now incredibly the Cia is Given the dominant position in protecting our vital secrets. Soon we May expect to read of the organization methods and agents of the de sense department s defense intelligence Agency Dia and the National reconnaissance organization no. Budgetary supervision will automatically Supply these secrets to future disgruntled employees of the Cia. Defense Secretary Harold Brown according to news releases made a valiant Effort to protect the intelligence organizations of the defense department and the intelligence sections of the army Navy and air Force but was eventually Over ruled. This illustrates again the Low estate of military advice in our National councils. They Are not Only no longer dominant in the selection of our weapons but Are now shown to have Little influence in the evaluations of the strength of the fact is we Are being disarmed by presidential review memorandums arms. Pm 10, among other Gross fallacies i alleged to have announced this irrational conclusion after All the soviets Only have military superiority they Are in deep Trou ble in other areas economic human rights and with the third world. No nation which possessed acknowledged military superiority has Ever had any difficulty in securing from its neigh Bors All of its economic needs. Food technology Oil or manufactured products whatever it required were always promptly supplied by its weaker and the Central european nations Poland Czechoslovakia and East Germany Are current examples. There has Seldom if Ever been a time when valid accurate intelligence assess ments of enemy Power plans and purpose were More vital to our National welfare and survival. This present . Intelligence reorganization now permits a president to say this is my decision now give me an intelligence estimate to justify this after our continuing disarmament represents our greatest present danger.
