T H E R E I S o n l y one a n swer: The Federal governm e n t m u s t accept its responsibility. However, history has shown that F e d e r a l housing programs have never r e a l l y been used for the b e n e f i t of the masses of the people," the C O R E chairm a n pointed out. McKissick asserted that the ghetto is a " r o t t e n p l a c e " to l i v e a n d i t is g e t t i n g worse. A n d to m a k e i t even worse, he added, the F e d e r a l p r o g r a m s have been cleverl y developed to raise t a x revenues and sweep the poor under the r u g . He said there were two tragic omissions on the p a r t of t h e w h i t e m a j o r i t y i n the h i s t o r y of A m e r i c a . One w a s the f a i l u r e to give freed s l a v e s 40 a c r e s a n d a m u l e , a mistake we are paying for to this v e r y day. The other m i s t a k e , he said, w a s the f a i l u r e to send F e d e r a l r e g istrars into every b l a c k c o m m u n i t y of the South, the day after the Voting Rights A c t o f 1965 w a s s i g n e d . " W E D O N ' T ask f o r any m o r e l a w s , " he continued. "We simply demand that c o n s t i t u t i o n a l r i g h t s be e n forced. A s y s t e m of j u s t i c e w h i c h depends upon ignorance a n d p o v e r t y to secure convictions is no j u s t i c e . CORE supports a l l reforms in this area — funds for legal assistance, bonding o n p e r s o n a l r e c o g n i z a n c e a n d so on." M c K i s s i c k cited the following statistics: I n August, 1965, t h e w h i t e u n e m p l o y m e n t r a t e w a s 4.1 p e r c e n t and the Negro unemploym e n t r a t e w a s 7.7 p e r c e n t — the traditional level of a l m o s t t w i c e as m a n y u n e m p l o y e d b l a c k s as w h i t e s .

The exultant c r y followed a ten-second b u r s t of automatic weapon fire yesterday, and the d u l l c r u m p of a grenade exploding underground. The Marines ordered a V i e t n a m e s e c o r p o r a l t o go down into the granadeblasted hole to pull o u t their victims.

He may enter the ring looking clean and neat, But if he's not cool, he'll go out by Jus seat. He runs around calling himself "the real heavyweight champ," But when he fights me, he'll look like a tramp. M

I'm not saying this, just to be f u n n y — But I'm fighting E r n i e only because he needs the money; H e really wants the fight just to make a little bread, But the catch is, I'm going to whip his head. / don't want to be a drag; I'm not here to brag; But it's Terrell's jaw that I'm out to tag. He says he wants to stand, toe-to-toe And trade me blow-for-blow; That sounds real promising, and if that's a fact, How can he stand when he'll be on his bapk? So if you come to the fight and if you are a bit late, B e cool, don't r u n — I guarantee to let this fight last over one; A n d after the fight's over, Terrell will know he was in a scuffle — B u t he could not master the A l i Shuffle!

Champion Ali, the world's most efficient and popular champion, will indeed teach student Terrell lessons that he hasn't even learned yet.
