Memphis-

troubleshooting were all in-
cluded in the strategy.
The Southern Regional coun-
cil was invited by leaders of
the chamber, the black com-
munity ard the school system
to assist IMPACT Memphis
during December and January
as participant-observers.
In essence, the Memphis de-
segregation story is one of how
a classic conflict developed be-
tween two powerful forces, and
how that conflict came to be
peacefully resolved.
Of the Memphis story, coun-
cil officials observe: “In a very
real sense the Memphis story
is a success story, a success
hammered out in tough and
realistic sessions between op-
posing forces, a success
brought about against a back-
ground of much turmoil, citizen
misunderstanding, all in a city
which only five years ago was
almost prostrated by the as-
sassination of Dr. Martin Lu-
ther King, Jr., all in a city
which too often in the past had
seemed wedded to the past.”
Bank-

Citizens and Southern National
bank in walking off their jobs
and setting up picket lines
around several C and S branch
banks in Atlanta in an effort to
get management of C and S to
sit down and talk to an officially
elected committee of 10 em-
ployees about racial discrim-
ination and unfair labor prac-
tices at C and S bank. Manage-
ment of C and S agreed to talk
with Reverend Hosea L. Wil-
liams, president of SCLC and
adviser tb the striking em-
ployees, and a citizens com-
mittee, but flatly refused to
meet with a committee of em-
ployees to discuss their griev-
ances. The committee was
made up of 10 persons elected
by departments from the total
body of striking employees.
The employees did not ex-
pect to receive an answer to
their demands in this initial
meeting; they simply wanted
management to receive them.
The main reason for the com-
mittee’s being present when the
demands were presented was
to explain any of the demands
management did not under-
stand. This management flatly
refused to do. Therefore, some
300 C and S employees walked
off their Job, started picketing
the bank and are in the process
of mobilising a full-fledged
non-violent civil rights move-
ment against C and S bank.
On Tuesday, June 36, the C
and 8 striking employees cen-
tered their attention on the
downtown Marietta bank. This
caused quite s commotion in
management circles. Many
members of management, ad-
mitting that C and 8 is a racist
Institution, felt Black people
should not embarrass an old,
established southern institu-
tion that has meant so much to
the progress of all Atlantans,
Shortly after noon Tuesday,
June 26, the downtown power
structure ordered Atlanta po-
lice to clear the streets of all
Blacks picketing C and S bank.
Employees arrested were
charged with singing too loudly
and violating the “Safe Street
and Sidewalk act. *
Hearings-

Interested in “burying Price
Daniels, Jr. In a scandal for
political reasons rather than
solving the root problems which
brought about the savagery
committed at Artesia Hall.”
Sutton commented further,
that he was not defending Dan-
iels because Daniels has never
done him any favors and re-
vealed that Daniels had been
involved in a conspiracy to
block the locating of a state
office building in east San An-
tonio for racist reasons. It
has been alleged before the
committee that Daniels use his
Influence to obtain a license
for Farrar and the Artesia
Hall school even though the fa-
cility was substandard. Sutton
also pointed out that the chair-
man of the subcommittee, Rep.
Lane Denton, had rushed wit-
nesses’ testimony and then
quickly dismissed them so that
Sutton would not question them.
Sutton has called for a spe-
cial committee to look into ra-
cism at the State Department of
Public Welfare. Representative
Sutton commented that he was
“disgusted* with the antics of
Denton and other so-called
“liberal” members of the com-
mittee, noting that “they are
only liberal when it suits their
purposes.”
Sutton indicated that testi-
mony had indicated that Dr.
Farrar was strongly prejudice
against blacks, had referred
to them as “coons* and had

"Reduction in
Force of 134"
At Fort Sam
In order to permit Fort Sam
Houston to maintain a balanced
program in personnel and ma-
terial costs within Department
of Army’s guidance for 1974,
a reduction in force of 134 civ-
ilian positions will be required.
The availability of vacant
positions is expected to minim-
ize the adverse impact of this
reduction and there is reason
to anticipate that no actual
separations of permanent em-
ployees will be required.
At the same time this re-
duction is in process, it will be
necessary to recruit to fill
critical existing vacancies in
other areas of the garrison and
in serviced tenant organiza-
tions on post.
At the present time, the in-
stallation is actively recruit-
ing for approximately 150 ex-
isting vacancies and more than
200 civilian employees who
were to be retiring by June 30
to obtain recently approved an-
nuity increases.
Employees affected by the
reduction in force will be con-
sidered for these vacancies and
it is expected that all can be
placed.
These reductions will be
made in the post garrison oper-
ations where workload reduc-
tions will result from modifying
common support services pro-
vided to post tenant organiza-
tions.
Reductions will be made in
supply services, material
maintenance, transportation
services , laundry, commis-
sary, military ana civilian per-
sonnel administration, military
and civilian pay and in certain
other service areas.
The reduction in force is to
be completed by September 30,
1973 with required 60-day no-
tices to be delivered to affect-
ed employees no later than July
31. The action is part of the
general Army reorganization
which was announced earlier
this year.
