Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Southern Christian Leadership Conference's political organizer, Hosea Williams, completes coordination of the Confederation of Alabama's political Organization (COA-PO). On March 26, in the historical Selma. Ala home of the famous Segregationist, Jim Clark when George Wallace and his wife, candidate, Lurleen Wallace, held a political rally. Williams assembler movement leaders from throughout the State of Alabama at St Paul's CME Church for the purpose of finalizing the coordination of Alabama's 250,000 Negro votes for the May 3 primary. Williams, director of voter registration and political education, said "SCLC has jetted Alabama's Negro vote from 100,000 to 250,000 within a period of six months. We have been able to register more than 38,000 Negro voters in Jefferson County, alone within the last ten weeks." According to King's lieutenant there are nine counties in the State of Alabama with more Negroes registered than whites. This is the first time since reconstructtion days that Negroes have had this type of advantage. According to SCLC's Political Education Department, Perry, Hale, Greene, Sumter, Marengo. Bullock. Wilcox, Macon and Lowndes Counties, Alabama, are sure to elect Negroes to responsible political positions in the May 3 Democratic primary. For the first time many of these counties will go into the November general election with Negroes as their Democratic nominee for sheriff, road commissioner, tax collector tax assessor county coroner, state representative state senator and members of the board of education and the Democratic Executive Committee. According to Williams "representtatives and supporters of the Confederation from more than 29 of Alabama's 35 significant counties were assembled in the meeting last Saturday in Selma, Ala The delegates at this meeting represented more than 230,000 of Alabama's 250,000 Negro votes. In last Saturday's meeting statewide political leader and religious figure, Rev. T. V. Rogers of Tuscaloosa, Ala was elected president of the Confederation. Lonnie Brown candidate for state senator and insurance executive was elected as chairman of the standing committees. Albert Turnenr, SCLC's state field secretary who is on leave at this time in order to campaign for a seat in the state legislature was elected vice-chairman of the standing committees. Lewis Black, ex-school teacher from Hale County and executive of Alabama's Human Relation Council, was elected as treasurer. Chairmen of the standing committees were elected a follows: Mrs. Lewis Black, a school teacher from. Hale County that was refused a contract because of her husband's civil rights activities after 15 years of satisfactory service was elected chairman of the interview committee. William Harrison state-wide educator and school teacher form Choctaw County Ala who is running for the Democratic executive committee nominee in the May 3 primary, was elected chairman of the political guidance committee; and Samson Crum of Selma, was elected chairman of the patronage committee. The confederation will interview, endorse candidates and seek political patronage on five levels — county state representative and senatorial, U.S. representatives and senatorial and state-wide. The county units are composed of representatives of all local organizations. Each local organization elects representatives on the county interview, Political Guidance and Patronage Committees. Afterwards, each county will elect its representatives from each of the committees to represent said county on the state representative state senatorial U.S. representative, state wide and U. S. senatorial district levels. Williams said, "It is up to a county whether the same individuals will be elected to represent that county at each of these levels or different individuals will represent county at each level. Rev. T. Y. Rogers, president of the Confederation made it clear in a news conference in Birmingham Wednesday March 23, that the Confederation was not to re place already established organizations in Alabama nor to usurp responsibilities from any already established organization, but instead to lend the necessary support to all political organizations and coordinate the political influence of every group in the State of Alabama under one umbrella. King's chief political organizer Hosea Williams, stated, "With all the opposition from the black and the white we still have the strongest political organization known to the Negro people; and its potency may not allow us to elect a Negro governor or U.S. Senator in the State of Alabama at this time, but I will be damned if the Negro vote cant decide who will be governor or U.S: senator. Children Will Feel Impact Of School Lunch Reduction If Congress does not act to restore the funds slashed from the school lunch program by the administration 16 1-2 million children will fee the impact of higher lunch prices when they go back to school this fall" Dr. John N. Perryman, executive director of the American School Food Service Association (ASFSA) said today. Perryman continued "We are recommending that Congress appropriate $220 million continue the school lunch program for the nation's children." Dr. Perryman made these commit ments as Mr. Gordon Gunderson chairman of the ASFSA Legislative committee testified today before he House Appropriations Committee hearings on the President's proposed school lunch budget. The request for $220, million is ased upon the more than three and a quarter, billion lunches ex pected to be served next year and includes a participated six percent growth in the school lunch pro gram. "Any curtailment of federal support of the school lunch program will result in an estimated increase of at least a nickel in the price of a lunch. Sluch action will hurt most those parents who are trying to help themselves," Dr. Perryman said. The $220 million provides for a continuation of cash reimbursements to schools and special assistance for children who cannot afford to pay for their own lunches. It also provides cash compensation for the loss in government commodities. Drastic reductions have already been made in essential commodities supplied to schools. The commodities include high-protein foods essential in maintaining the nutritional value of the meals. If these-foods are not supplied by the government they must be purchased by the schools. "It is imperative to have full funding of the school lunch program to overcome the loss in commodities The school lunch budget cuts recommended by the President could set into action a vicious price increase cycle " Dr. Perryman said. "The school lunch program, now in its 20th year is non-profit. Meals are priced on a cost of basis increase in the cost of meals must be passed on to families in the form of increased school lunch prices," Dr. Perryman said. Perryman continued "The number of children participating in the school lunch program would drop sharply and immediately. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, in a report issued last year reported a significant decrease in participation drops the cost of preparing a meal goes up resulting in still higher school lunch prices, The new Child Nutrition Act, if passed would concentrate on special programs such as free lunches breakfast programs, etc, for the needy. It would in no way lessen the hardships imposed on the children who pay for their own lunches." ASFSA is also recommending that Congress appropriate $115 million to continue the Special Milk Program in all of the nation's schools. The ASFSA is a non-profit professional organization of more than 43,000 members including school lunch supervisors and directors on the state and local levels lunch room managers food service workers and other educators through out the nation. $ $ MAIDS FOR N.Y. $ $ Up to $70 Wk.

Criminal Defense Cost Is Deductible On Income Tax The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the cost of an unsuccessful defense against a criminal prosecution is a valid income tax deduction. Justice Potter Stetwart spoke for a unanimous court in a case appealed by the commissioner of internal revenue It involved Walter F. Tellier, a New York securities dealer, who had been convicted of fraud, sentenced to serve 4 1-2years in jail and fined $18,000. The commissioner refused to allow Tellier to deduct as an "ordinary and necessary" expense incurred in carrying on his business some $23,000 paid out in legal fees in the case. The commissioner reasoned that "public policy" barred this deduction. Stewart said this view is supported in other administrative and judicial decisions but not in any regulation, law or supreme court ruling.
