Abernathy:   Movement not confined to Mississippi
In the following Interview,Dr.
Ralph Abernathy, prealdent of
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, discusses
SCLC progress.
Q. la
Leaderahip Conference growing?
A. The Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC)
U growing at a very rapid pace.
We do not count membership,
as such, but we do count the
chapters and affiliates. We now
have some 350 chapters and
affiliates across tbe country.
Our pace was accelerated by
tbe tragic death of Dr. Martin
Luther King and, naturally, by
people wanting to be a part of
bis organization.
We are continuing to fight Injustice, Inadequate housing. Joblessness and the poverty which
still exists In the land.
Q. Do you feel that violence
has been replaced by a growth
ln religious faith?
A. Yes. I think that violence
found its own doom.
The southern Christian Leadership Conference has preached
• all along that violence cannot
continue. The only way we can
achieve lasting peace is through
nonviolent resistance.
Q. Have such Issues as Vietnam, Ihe energy crisis and
Watergate slowed the civil rights
program?
A. They have had an effect on
the civil rights movement to a
great degree - by strengthening
forces to the civil rights move-
The Vietnam war was long and
hard and time-consuming. Many
of our troops, once lighting for
civil rights, joined the peace
movement.
We discovered that we could
not have peace without dvU
rights, and there waa a wedding
of the two goals'.
Watergate demonstrates to us
that no man la an Island, that regardless of who you are, you can
be a victim of an unjust system. '■
The energy crisis puts us all
In the same boat, teaching us
that our survival is really
wrapped up In helping each other.
Q. Haa the financial aid for
SCLC fallen off?
A. The Southern Christian
Leadership Conference has always had financial problems.
But In difficult times, there always was some friend, a wealthy
friend, In the northern white
community who would hall us out
so we could become involved In
a civil rights crisis, In a Birmingham or Selma, AU.
Those times have changed
now. The movement Is no longer
confined to Mississippi, Alabama,  Florida and Louisiana.
There's   no  section  of the
nd equal-
atlon. We
desperately In need of funds.
Many black people occupy
prominent positions because of
efforts made by the Southern
Christian   Leadership   Confer-
one Important lesson - that
whenever sonieone succeeds it Is
his   responsibility  to  help  his
ershlp Conference and other
civil rights organizations are
not giving a« they should, and
our cause la suffering.
I have called this to the attention of black America.
We have a responsibility to .
never forget those who are left
behind.
We are ln financial need, but
the organization Is very much
alive, and we have come a long
way in our struggle.
Q. Is the Nixon administration
doing enough for the civil rights
movement?
A. The Nixon administration
is doing less and less each and
There are a million vibrant
programs that could be funded.
A greater effort could be made
Above
all,   we  could  h
unity.

ENTDISC
By Mike Waldner
(CNS) - It waa not difficult to
understand why expectations ln
Seattle varflH from high to extremely high'when Bill Russell
was hired by tbe Sonlca. A legend
was on hla way to town.
The Sonlca had more than a new
iiene ral manager-coach. They had
.in Instant folk hero.
The Russell imprint was lrti-
medlately recognizable when Jim
McDanlels, the 7-foot center,
became a 6-10 forward.
William  Felton Russell does

A practice session during the

ailed to a halt by Russell yelling:

That was one of his lighter

The rivalry between American

i lations has made some young

prompts the suggestion thai the
suites are a bunch of fat cats

etbook to fulfill Russell's salary
Schulman already had spent a
large fortune to entice Spencer
Haywood, John Brisker and Mc-
Danlela away from the ABA. An
additional small fortune for-Rus-
sell would not be such a big
deal If It did produce the winner.
Sam'a displeasure with past
performances of the Sonlcs had
to be extreme.
He'a a wealthy businessman,
a resident of Beverly Hills, and
Is accustomed to having things go
hla way. The boys at the country
club simply don't understand why-

Seattle was 26-25 with a .317
percentage last season under the
coaching of first Tom Nlssalke
and     then   Bucky   Buckwalter.

fairer assessment might have
been that the record waa the result of the tack of willingness on
the part of Haywood, Brisker,
McDanlels, etc., to be coached.
Could even William F. Russell,
tbe biggest winner of them all In
professional basketball, handle
the situation?
Russell waa the foundation on
